Style Crush: Maja Wyh

I came across this gorgeously effortless off-the-shoulder ensemble on Pinterest and soon traced it back to blogger Maja Wyh. She combines art and fashion in her compelling collection of posts. Once you start scrolling you won't want to stop.

Style Crush: Miroslava Duma

I've been a long time fan of Russian editor, socialite and street style queen Miroslava Duma. I'd kill to raid her closet of petite fits, matchy sets and bright colors. It was a striking black cape I came across recently, however, that really captured my attention. 

A few watercolor strokes later...

Lupita Nyong'o Love

Long before the bandwagon, I spotted Lupita Nyong'o's undeniable glow—and knack for style. She radiates joy and makes every look unimaginably breathtaking. I saw this magazine spread of her in a striped J. Mendel gown and just had to illustrate.

Style Inspo: Ashley Ring My Bell

Ashley Madekwe is a talented actress and blogger whose style balances funky and feminine beautifully. You can check out some of her best red carpet looks here, or peruse her off-duty outfits here.

Street Style Inspo: Danielle Bernstein + Taylor Tomasi Hill + Aimee Song

Leandra Medine AKA The Man Repeller

I've gushed on StyleBistro about my forever style crush Leandra Medine—AKA The Man Repeller. Not only is her style fearlessly unique, she's an incredibly witty and hilarious writer. Everything she wears and says is inspiring and powerful to me. In fact, her recent post explaining why she doesn't wear makeup, made me teary...and want to applaud in my computer chair.

"Man Repelling is an attitude. It is a state of existence. It is not whether you do your hair or curl your lashes, or even what you wear. It is how you approach doing those things. Why you do those things, and perhaps most importantly, it is a love letter to individuality.

I don’t hate what I see when I look in the mirror. Even if legions of others don’t agree. I have accepted the reflection that reliably bounces back at me for its perks and its flaws."


So here is a little illustration of an outfit she wore to NYFW in her honor.
