I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that my style inspiration is Chloe Sevigny. She's plenty of girls' icon and she rightfully wears the crown.Although I usually derive my inspiration from girls on the street and street style blogs, she's one celebrity that I can undoubtedly, without shame say shes my icon. I truly believe she is my fashion counterpart. She coasts through different styles all the time. Whether it be grungy or really girly, feminine outfits or the mix of both in one. She's nailed the 90's resurgence right on the head and some can even debate that she had brought the style back entirely on her own. When her opening ceremony line came out critics were so against the 90's trends coming back but low and behold its here and we even have this generations CKOne ad to prove it.
Although she is in her 30's and doesn't dress her age, she makes ageless dressing seem like no big deal. If she could pull off looks that don't confine to one's age, then she gives hope to other girls to do the same. Who said if you're 30 you have to look 30.
There hasn't been a visit to TheFashionSpot: Chloe Sevigny without me uttering "I Love This Girl". She truly is an icon.

I saw this photo and immediately thought this outfit is probably the outfit that I would sum up my entire wardrobe and the root behind this post.

CHLOƋ SEVIGNY, “Big Love” star, clothing designer.
WHAT I’M WEARING NOW I have a path of vintage shops in the East Village that I walk around to. The dress is from one them — Atomic Passion, I think. It was really long, like most Edwardian and Victorian dresses, and I cut off one of the tiers. The cardigan is part of my fall collection for Opening Ceremony. It has wool elbow patches and nice, big pockets to shove your hands into when you’re feeling awkward or insecure. My Chanel purse was a Christmas present to myself. It’s like playing Tetris trying to fit all my stuff in it. The boots are an old pair of Prada’s, and the tights are from the Sock Man. I love that place, but the guy’s the grumpiest man on earth. He’s like the Soup Nazi, but he sells socks.
STYLE CREDO I’m not feeling these modern, futuristic looks. It’s too hard. I love a frilly floral, and I always will. And I like minis. I tried to do a pencil skirt, but it looked too old. Lately I’ve been trying to dress sexier, but my version is still a little sad and frumpy and alternative. I get concerned that I don’t dress age appropriate, but at 34, I figure I can still pull it off for a couple more years.
MY INSPIRATION The kids I see on the street. Sometimes I sit in Tompkins Square Park and just check out all the looks. I recently got this book “Skins & Punks.” It really inspired my new collection. And my own style — I just bought a pair of cherry red Doc Martens.
ON MY WISH LIST Perfect jeans. After all these years, I still haven’t found them. Right now I’m looking for some light blue ones for spring.

NYE

I spent New Years Eve by my friends place.We all just wanted to stay local because of all the craziness that goes on in NYC on that night. Its hard to get a drink at the bar anywhere you go, because they are all so full. We opted for a low key NYE.

I randomly wandered into Luella's website and it's the cutest thing ever. Aside from the obvious shop section where you can handpick the designs(which are on sale) that have been on the runway, you can also check out tons of extras like polaroids from backstage during fashion week or articles written about the designer and her collections.

Keep the Change, You Filthy Animal

Something about the holidays always makes me think of two things Charlie Brown and Home Alone. My boyfriend and I were watching t.v. one day last week and wound up on the part where McCauly Culkin's character orders a pizza and the pizza boy comes to deliver the pizza and he puts on the movie and the exchange between the pizza boy and the way he plays the movie to fit right in is classic. I love that part.

Anyway my friends and I went to a holiday party a couple of weeks back at some bar on the west side. I felt festive and had just purchased this dress and I thought it was appropriate because of it's shimmer. It totally reminded me of the Erin Fetherston Autumn/ Winter 2008 collection.
