Looks I Love..How they wear short


Take a cue from these muses!
Now that summer is in full swing celebs are showing up in shorter lengths and I'm loving the combination of edgy pumps, leather jackets and feminine dresses.


Muses are such a fine resource when in search of inspiration for new looks. If you are searching for a way to re-mix your basics or jump start an idea for what you should shop for you can always turn to your favorite muse.

As a stylist I always recommend looking at fashion in different places and finding a muse that you can take a cue.

Finding your muse:
  • They are Everywhere: Don't just look to celebrities for fashion cues. Often times their style is unattainable and not practical. Include celebrities but also search for models, designers, socialites and even your local community for inspiration. These muses will often mix store bought clothing and vintage with couture which is more attainable. (Not the couture of course but the overall look)

  • Body conscious: Your muse can be your shape or not. Often times I find we are attracted to a muse because we wish we looked like her. However, the same is true about being attracted to our own body type. So, select a few different body types and remain aware of what will work for you.

  • Copy Cat: Just because you have some looks you love doesn't mean you should replicate that exact look. Rather take inspiration from a color, layering of a certain jacket, bold shoes or hem length...emulate through inspiration.
