Diamonds Are A Girls Best Friend

My Style Icons: Marilyn Monroe

Hello Lovelies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) This week I am back with another addition to my style icons series! Next up, the ever seductive, Marilyn Monroe. This pick could be considered controversial in comparison to my first lovely lady (and when put next to my other picks) but I think that it is important to have a wide range of inspiration. Why look up to only people who are all the same? I think that every girl needs a little Marilyn in her style choices. After all we can't always be perfectly put together.

Marilyn is of course still famous in popular culture, but she is also still a style icon to millions of girls. Photo shots with modern day celebrities are often based on Marilyn and her life. I mean she did sing the most famous rendition of Happy Birthday ever, and to the president of the United States! I know that there is a ton of gossip surrounding Marilyn's life, and her death, but I try not to get caught up in all of that. After all we shouldn't judge others! There are a lot of lessons we can learn from her. So here are some pictures of the lovely Marilyn Monroe :)

Diamonds. Full Skirts. Red Lips. Short Blonde Hair. Curls. Deep V. Gloves. Patterns. Statement Jewelry. Smile Big. High Waisted. Lingerie. Beauty Mark. Confidence. Curves. 

There she is! My second style icon :) I just think that everyone can learn from her confidence. Be comfortable with who you are and what you look like, curvy or thin! I'll be back next week with another installment. Until then, let me know who your style icons are in the comments :)

My Style Icons: Audrey Hepburn 

Hello lovlies. I'm Jordan Nicole :) When thinking of the various people who have inspired me with their style, poise and grace I realized that there was no way I could include them all in one blog post without it becoming to long for anyone to want to read. I decided that I should just write a little "My Style Icons" series :) I fell that the perfect pick to start off the series is a woman who was so filled with poise, grace, elegance, style and most importantly had a giving and loving heart: Audrey Hepburn. 

When I was a little girl my Mama showed me her favorite musicals. She started me off young and her list included My Fair Lady. I took away two things from this, to this day it is my favorite musical and I have loved Audrey ever since. She just drew me in and she hasn't let me go since. I have read books about her and have looked up to her as an actress and humanitarian for years. Though she was an amazing person who did so many things to try and better the world around her, she is mainly remembered for the beauty she had in her youth (I personally think she was always beautiful) and her style. So many elements of her fashion choices are still relevant now. 

Audrey was beautiful and had a lovely figure that wore clothing better than most people but she also wore timeless looks that can flatter anyone if they do it right. It is easy to pull a lot of things from her looks. I'm just going to name some and show you some pretty pictures now :)

All Black. Stripes. High Waisted. Short Bangs. Little Black Dress. Full Skirts. Hats. Polka Dots. Coats. Button Ups. Gloves. Lace. Cigarette Pants. Florals. Bright Lips. Defined Eyebrows. 

So there you have it! My first style icon :) I will be putting out more installments of this little series very soon! I think I want to do them once or twice a week. I hope you enjoyed hearing a little bit about someone who inspires me. Let me know who your style icons are in the comments :)
