Style Icon: Gwen Stefani

I love that Gwen Stefani is so bold and brave when it comes to what she wears. She isn't afraid to wear what she likes. Be it bold geometric print or bright colors, if she likes it she wears it. I think some of us could learn a few things from Gwen when it comes to this. I'm not one for bold and bright myself, but generally if I like it I wear it. I know some people who won't wear something if it's not in style or if they think others won't like it. Gwen Stefani is willling to take fashion risks and I think more of us should be willing as well. I love all of the looks and photos of her above. Most of the time when you see photos of Gwen on the street she is wearing comfy yet stylish clothes. What are your thoughts on her style?

Maybe it is because I grew up watching Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen on "Full House" and their dozens of direct-to-video movies that I still have a soft spot in my heart for these two sisters. Although they have shied away from acting over the years they have remained influential in Hollywood by becoming darlings of the fashion world. The last few years I have been fascinated with both Mary Kate's and Ashley's looks from Mary Kate's love for bright red lipstick to Ashley's slightly sleeker, softer look (except for their use of fur, using faux fur is just the nice thing to do girls) and I found myself very impressed with their collections for their successful clothing lines including The Row and Elizabeth & James. I'm interested in knowing if like me you grew up with the Olsens and do you feel like they are two of the newest generation of fashion icons?

Continuing to remain one of Hollywood's most famous stars, Marilyn Monroe, has always been one of my favorite style icons. She is the ultimate symbol of femininity, Old Hollywood, glamorous good looks, and sex appeal. She did everything from wooing a president to appearing on the first cover of Playboy. Marilyn always celebrated her figure and her sensuality. She also managed to look alluring without dressing too revealing, instead often favoring, well cut figure flattering dresses, sweaters, and pencil skirts. Her influence in fashion and popular culture is immeasurable and she will forever be the ultimate blonde bombshell.
