While collecting personal style inspirations (I like to use Pinterest: you can follow along with my pins here), I not only find patterns in the looks, items and colors I keep gravitating toward…I also keep seeing the same faces.
The following ladies have strong personal styles that I find really wonderful and inspiring. Their looks fill my Pinterest boards and influence my wardrobe. They are are my style icons, and I hope you enjoy their style as much as I do. =)
Janie Cai
Fashion Director, Esquire Singapore

Janie was the first person I discovered that made me freak out over her style. I still remember one ambitious night on Pinterest, digging for new things to pin, when I realized I had pinned this same girl a stupid amount of times. A Google Image search later, I had found her name and was gleefully taking in all her quirky, colorful, menswear inspired outfits.

After I discovered Janie, Esther came soon behind. This girl has panache, and her custom made suits are beyond amazing.

Because Esther and Janie both work for menswear magazines, I excitedly await the men’s shows (like now!) for new street style shots of these two.
Both my girls in one place:

Marissa Webb
Designer, Marissa Webb

Marissa is a more recent discovery of mine, thanks to her new namesake line which debuted with the current spring/summer collection. A J.Crew alum (she was the head of womens design!), Marissa incorporates menswear touches in both her label and her personal style. Hers is a brand I will be keeping a close eye on, and am already amassing a rather long wish list.

Amazing style! I really like how Esther accessorizes – the bold earrings look great juxtaposed with a sharp suit.

Not too crazy about these bloggers… Their styles look overdone, theatrical and very unfeminine… These women look like they spend half of their day in front of a mirror. In my opinion, a good style should look effortless.
Dearest Kelly,
This only underlines that such a classic style will never go away! It has been around repeatedly and even at the time that I studied fashion. I can clearly see how you fell for this street look; you fall right into that category as well.
Enjoy it and yes, your shape is even a bit like these Oriental ladies, that too helps for pulling it off the right way.
Enjoy it and I’m very close with you on this style!
Hugs,
Mariette
Fun post! I agree, these ladies have some serious style, I’ll have to keep an eye out for them in the future.
Love the dandy look, amazing what a blazer can do to ripped jeans, and the colour combinations with the amount of accessories worn with the respective jackets, takes it to the next level! Awesome post!
