EDITOR’S LETTER

Photo Stephen Ciucolli

Welcome to the inaugural issue of INSPIRED: Top 100 Style Bloggers. Before you go any further, I should warn you, this is not your average list of overexposed bloggers.

This publication is about bringing together a group of like-minded individuals whose unique sense of style and commitment to design inspire even the most jaded fashion editor (yes, me).

That, I believe, deserves a little recognition.

Since hitting the scene almost a decade a go, the style blogger was a fashion trend editors said would never last. Yet, here we are... In a world where we can name a dozen bloggers but are pushed to name one fashion editor— excluding Anna of course.

The fact is, the style blogger is not going anywhere and for good reason. They have turned the aspirational into the attainable.

Where once, six foot models (of mostly one ethnicity and size) dictated this season’s musthaves now, men and women of all shapes, sizes and colors are putting their own spin on what it means to be fashionable and that is something people can relate to.

Fashion enables us to express who we are and what we stand for, style bloggers give us the inspiration (and courage) to try something a little different.

Regardless of your age, geography or bank balance, we could all use a little daily style inspiration and these bloggers deliver. Best of all, they happen to be some of the most humble, talented and generally lovely people I know.

From all of us here who worked so hard on this issue, we hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed creating it.

May your heels be as high as your standards,

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

White jeans year round, although probably not so much a real rule anymore.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution? To continue investing in classic pieces. I did a good job at doing that in 2013, so I want to make sure that I stay on track. I’m buying less trendy pieces and spending my money on things I want to wear over and over again, month after month.

Dress up or dress down?

Dress up. The feeling that you get from dressing up is incomparable. I’ve personally dressed down my day-to-day style in the last two years but I still have that great feeling seeing myself in the mirror looking debonair. It’s like I become a more improved person.

Describe your style in three words: A mix of minimalism, femininity and modern classics.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own? To be honest, it is difficult to isolate any one thing, but probably every woman should own a great red lipstick.

Dress up or dress down?

Totally dress up. I like layering— it provides additional opportunity to play with materials, colors and prints.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking? I began to truly love mass-market fashion.

In Russia, it’s not so easy to feel comfortable, if you have no Dior bag and fur coat. Once I started a blog I no longer worried about brands and understood that the brand is not important, the main thing is the ability to combine things together.

MOSCOW HEARTS OF FOUR skirt and top; MOSCHINO bag; CAROLINA HERRERA shoes.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution? To try new and bold combinations. Bright colors, patterns, voluminous skirts and coats, no heels, monochrome—to exude a combination of femininity and comfort.

Dress up or dress down? I don’t know if this is cheating, but both! I think dressing up gives a person so much more confidence and who doesn’t love confidence? I definitely don’t think a ball gown is appropriate in every day life, but not utilizing all the pretty (and less fancy) dresses in your closet is a shame. I solve this problem by “dressing down” my frocks with leather jackets, hats, boots, etc. Such an easy way to look great without feeling overdressed.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own?

A classic leather jacket.

Dress up or dress down? I used to live by “it’s better to be overdressed than underdressed” as many people do.

But I always like to be right in the middle.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

Jeans and gym shoes. I’ve always hated the two together because the combination I’d see is tennis shoes and flare jeans way too often. But now that denim has really stepped up its game (different colors, textures and silhouettes) as have sneakers, I don’t hate my pony hair Supergas with my boyfriend jeans!

Wear more dresses—I have so many and I always resort to leather pants!

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own? Jeans.

They’re like good wine. They keep for years and age very well. Also you can wear them anytime, for any occasion. I have about fifteen pairs.

Dress up or dress down? Dress down, I’m better at that. I leave the editorials to magazines, along with silhouettes that are too sharp, too “fashionable.” I love fashion.

Unfortunately, it is not always comfortable around me and I do not know many women who spend their days in high heels.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking? In fact, I’m not so fashionable. I love fashion, I watch it, I flirt with it, but I do not practice it in excess.

PARIS MARGAUX LONNBERG sweater; AVIDA DOLLARS pants; FOREVER 21 beanie; CYRILLUS bag; OFFICE boots.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution? Travel more, to be able to wear summer clothes. I hate winter and winter materials, large coats... It’s hard to stay glamorous when it’s very cold.

Dress up or dress down?

Dress up! There have been more times where I wish I dressed up a little more than wishing I dressed down. Being comfortable is imperative, so even dressing up a pair of sweats is always an option.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

More of a personal fashion rule...wear floral print.

Dress up or dress down? I’m always stuck for this question as I tend to enjoy dressing up— casual pieces (heels with shorts, etc.) while dressing down formal pieces (ie. sequins for a daylight look with boots)! But if I had to choose one, then I would dress up because you feel good when you look good.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking? I am not quite sure if there are such rules in fashion! I think that “rules” are different for everyone.

Hm...I don’t really have an answer for this. I feel like I break rules a lot because I simply don’t know them. I don’t think too hard on current trends, I just like to have fun with my outfits.

I love looking formal, keeping with elegant colors such as black, white and blue but also throwing in some more vibrant colors into the mix to brighten things up. I think when you dress up you can never go wrong, I believe being overdressed is better than underdressed in any occasion.

What’s one fashion rule you are proud of breaking? Mixing patterns.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own?

A beautiful black, perfect leather jacket.

Dress up or dress down?

Both. To be always dressed up is really exhausting and there are some moments in the week in which I need to dress down, to feel comfortable.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

In Italy we are really devoted to traditional fashion rules, for example, not to match black and blue together. As YSL says, this combination is super chic and I use it often.

What’s one go-to piece every man should own? A pair of sleek oxford dress shoes in black or brown. Whether you’re dressing up or down, starting with a classic footwear base will show that you know what you’re doing (or at least appear to know what you’re doing).

Dress up or dress down? I say perfect one and implement that style into the other. Personally, I like to dress up more often than not however; I’ve filtered my tailored style into my casual wear.

PHILADELPHIA

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking? The old adage of wearing white after Labor Day has completely gone out the window for me. As long as it’s warm, I’m rocking my white chino, and when it gets cooler, I switch it up to winter white jeans.

After my recent trip to the Pitti Uomo menswear tradeshow in Florence, Italy this past June, I was inspired by my Italian counterparts in the way they really add comfort to many of their looks with sneakers & t-shirts.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own?

A black blazer. The versatility is unmatchable.

Dress up or dress down?

Always dress up. I feel like when you create a ritual of dressing yourself on a dayto-day basis it allows you to be a different person every single day. I know days where I try harder to look my best usually turn out to be better days purely out of self confidence alone.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

This year it was wearing white past Labor Day. I think I wore white on white almost everyday after for the entire month.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution?

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

I break fashion rules pretty regularly (I think they’re antiquated and narrowminded) but the one I break most often (and most proudly) is “No white after Labor Day.” I always say, “I wear white when I want!”

What’s one go-to piece every man should own? To me, and now referring to men, a go-to piece every man should have is a basic white t-shirt because you can pair it up with so many different choices and create so many different looks or you can just keep it simple by rockin’ this easy piece.

Dress up or dress down? It depends on the situation, but generally I think everyone likes to dress up and be all fancy every now and then so, I guess that would be my choice.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking? I don’t think I have one specific fashion rule that I break, but I would say mixing different styles all in one look, that’s a habit of mine!

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own?

A black leather jacket—the kind that never goes out of style (like a motorcycle jacket), and the more worn in it gets, the cooler it looks.

Dress up or dress down?

It depends on the occasion but I usually opt for dressing down and using accessories and heels to take an outfit from night to day or casual to dressy.

Especially for NYC where unless it’s a cocktail party or gala event you can get away with dressing down.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

All of them? That’s the beauty of New York (no one will notice —or rather they will assume you did it on purpose). I’ve worn black with navy, white after Labor Day… Rules are meant to be broken—as long as you can make it work!

Less is more... I always tend to go with more is more.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution? To try more things outside of my comfort zone whilst still staying true to what suits my body shape.

NAME: Iris Gravemaker BLOG: FashionZenBlog.com FOUNDED: 2010 Twitter: @FashionZenIris Instagram: @fashionzenblog Describe your style in three words: Edgy, feminine, surprising.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own?

A black leather biker jacket Dress up or dress down?

Depends on the occasion and my mood. If I am not sure, I dress down. Sometimes all you need is that perfect little black dress with some cool accessories.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

Always matching colors in the same color tone. I think that non-matching colors can look great. For instance, red and pink go perfectly together!

NAME: Tosha Eason BLOG: BambisArmoire.com FOUNDED: 2012 Twitter: @Tosha_Eason Instagram: @tosha_eason Describe your style in three words: Edgy, laid-back, (with a little bit of) flare.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own?

One great pair of worn-in, destroyed denim jeans in their favorite wash.

Dress up or dress down?

I love to feel a sense of both in whatever I wear. I think thardressing up can really help bring out ones confidence which is the most important thing when it comes to defining your own sense of style. As for dressing down, I love a slight sense of comfort, even if I’m wearing heels. I have to feel comfortable at the same time.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

I like to think that there are no rules or limitations when it comes to fashion. It means my style possibilities are endless.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution? To wear whatever I want and not be persuaded by the influence of others.

WHEN GREEN GRASS WAS YELLOW

BERLIN

NAME: Nadine Drexler BLOG: WhenGreenGrass WasYellowOnPictures.com FOUNDED: 2011 Instagram: @vindieni Describe your style in three words: Chic, elegant, vintage-touched.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own? A nice hat that you can always wear, even (or especially) when you aren’t satisfied with your hair that day.

Dress up or dress down?

Dress up! You are always worth the attention.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking? I don’t really care about any rules.

No really, I just wear what I feel confident in.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution?

Just stay as I am. Sometimes you change your style because you feel it. It happened to me a little in 2013. It became even more elegant and that is what I am—and I am feeling good! So it seems like 2014 will be as chic as 2013.

MELANIE SHALE

NAME: Melanee Shale BLOG: MelaneeShale.com FOUNDED: 2012 Twitter: @MelaneeShale Instagram: @melanee

Describe your style in three words: Chic, edgy, trendy.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own? I always say, when in doubt, put a hat on it!

A hat just adds the perfect touch to complete any look.

Dress up or dress down? To me, dressed down is more realistic. We all work and run errands everyday that being dressed up in high heels just isn’t practical.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking? I’ve always disliked the rule no white after Labor Day. White is one of my favorite neutral colors that I’m excited to wear year round.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution? My style resolution this year is to take more risks with feminine looks in full skirts and pretty blouses. I also want to combine more color into my wardrobe and not always stick with black.

LOS ANGELES

MELANEESHALE.COM 103.

Describe your style in three words: Feminine, sophisticated, colorful.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own? I think that investing in a beautiful, quality-made purse is a smart purchase.

Dress up or down? Dress up, always. When in doubt of what to wear, I’m a firm believer in being overdressed rather than under-dressed. A put-together outfit changes my whole attitude for the day.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking? I wear a lot of brown and black together. I think that choosing one or the other is outdated.

I also love mixing prints and patterns—as long as the shades are in the same color family or compliment each other, it works.

LADY A LA MODE

NAME: Caitie Schlisserman BLOG: LadyalaMode.com Twitter: @LadyalaMode Instagram: @ladyalamode Describe your style in three words: Quirky, vintage, girlie.

What’s one go-to piece every woman should own? A denim jacket. I have a few different styles (with leather sleeves or polka dots), but there’s something about a classic blue jean jacket that makes any outfit look better.

Dress up or dress down? Dress up. Life is too short to not have fun with clothes.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

“You can’t wear white after Labor Day!” I think that it’s ridiculous that people say that you can only wear a color during a specific time of year.

Plus, white looks extra pretty during the winter.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution? I’m completely addicted to shoes.

I have way too many pairs to count—especially booties! I want to expand my collection into styles that I wouldn’t typically wear like heels or thigh high boots. Not that I don’t own any right now, I just never wear them!

NAME: Apneet Kaur BLOG: WhoisApneet.com FOUNDED: 2014 Twitter: @ApneetGrewal Instagram: @apneetgrewal

Dress up or dress down?

Both, depends on the occasion and depends on how you want to present yourself.

What’s one fashion rule you’re proud of breaking?

I make my own rules, as everyone should! The best thing about fashion is that you can really wear what you want when you want to.

What is your 2014 New Year’s Style resolution? I want to continue building my vintage collection. Currently it holds everything from ’80s Dior to ’90s Walmart.
