Style Steal: Stevie Nicks

Who's more amazing than Stevie Nicks? She's a tough act to follow. Her voice, her style, her performance... everything about her is beyond phenomenal. Easily one of the biggest it girls of the 70s, she holds a high place in my list of biggest inspirations (right behind Anna Karina and Debbie Harry). 

Tall boots, twirly shawls, black lace, silky ruffles, and feathered hair. 

Stevie Nicks has often been called the "Reigning Queen of Rock 'n' Roll" for obvious reasons, and her music & style have been an inspiration to so many. Just a quick google search for "stevie nicks style inspiration" will yield thousands of results.

In order to make this a true Style Steal, I created several outfits on my polyvore account inspired by her! You can catch these below:

Stevie Nicks #1 by foxinater featuring Linea

Stevie Nicks #2 by foxinater featuring gold jewelry

Stevie Nicks #3 by foxinater featuring a floral sundress

Hope you're having a great start to March; if you can't tell by those outfit collages, I'm crossing my fingers for spring! x

A Style Icon: Anna Karina (Alphaville)

Hello everyone! How are you today?

I thought I would do (yet another) style icon post today. I guess you could say I have been feeling especially inspired recently. One of my favorite films (of all time) is the 1965 film Alphaville directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It is absolutely gorgeous and interesting and essentially perfect. Every time I watch it, I am always reminded of how much I love Anna Karina. Not only is she a fantastic actress, but I feel drawn to every persona she plays in films. She is the epitome of an "it" girl.

All of the above are my four favorite photographs of her! They are all so absolutely gorgeous, and I can't help but feel incredibly inspired by her persona. 

All images are from google images

Me recreating the first image (hahaha)

Mod French 60s: Anna Karina 1 by foxinater featuring silver eye makeup

Modern 60s: Anna Karina 2 by foxinater featuring wooden necklaces

The first outfit is a more direct translation from Alphaville to real life; whereas, my second Karina-inspired outfit is much more adapted to what a modern, 60s outfit would look like with a pop of color. I love the interesting contrast between the B&W of the first and the largely-colorful second. 

Which do you prefer?

Last Minute Halloween Costumes

Hey guys! So if you're anything like me, it means you procrastinate a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean a lot. But that pretty much means any high school/college aged student. I'm sitting in my room, wasting my night on the internet, and I realized that tomorrow is Halloween. TOMORROW IS HALLOWEEN AND I STILL DON'T HAVE AN EXACT COSTUME YET. So here is my little collection of costumes that could easily be made at home!

Femme de le Futur by foxinater featuring hair bows

While this costume isn't exactly made from items sitting around my house, I'm absolutely in love with the idea of doing a sort of 60s-esque futuristic costume. That's why I went with the big, round shades and the turtleneck! I'm definitely going to have to be this for Halloween next year... Unless I get my hands on a holographic skirt by Saturday

Alex DeLarge by foxinater featuring green socks

I am in love with this novel and movie. I first read it last year around this time, and I just recently reread the book. In fact I was Alex DeLarge for a party last Friday, and it turned out wonderfully. Granted no one knew who I was, which was a downside. I kept hearing,"Did you forget to do one eye of makeup or something?" Sigh. Anyway, if you haven't seen/read A Clockwork Orange, I completely recommend it. Whether you're a malchikiwick or a young devotchka, get together with your droogs and just put together an all-white outfit at the heigth of fashion, a black hat upon your gulliver, a black staff to hold your nozh, and don't forget your black boots to take part in a little of the ultra-violence. ;)

Housewife by foxinater featuring a cotton apron

If your closet looks anything like mine, all you have to do to recreate this outfit is reach in and grab the first dress you see! All jokes aside, this look is actually pretty easy to pull together, and it all works with a good cat-eye and red lips. Don't forget your apron and cookbook!

AHS Witch by foxinater featuring stackable rings

This is not your typical witch outfit. This is inspired by the new season of American Horror Story; Zoe wears something similar to this in the first episode, and I fell in love with her outfit the first moment I saw it. Wear all black with a pointed booty to pull in the witchy vibe, and don't forget your wide-rimmed, black hat and smoky eye!

Hippie/Elf by foxinater featuring Free People

So this one may seem lackluster compared to the other four, but I promise it isn't! It's a dual costume. You can be either an elf or a hippie, depending on your preference. A hippie would add maybe a head wrap and sandals, whereas an elf would add a cape and elf ears. It's adjustable to your preferences!

These are some different costumes I put together that you can create with things (mostly) out of your closet. I hope it helps some last minute people like myself! I'll talk to you guys soon. :)
