You know you're a style icon when.....

I dont like how any celebrity is called a style icon these days because they are wearing the latest trend or look, neither do i like the idea that anyone is called a style icon because they dress absolutely out there but actually look horrific and ends up on the top 10 worst dressed list!

Im not saying that celebrities dont dress well, dont get me wrong! but all i am trying to say is style icons are RARE and its not just every 2nd woman that dresses nicely!

So i thought i would like to put together a list which if you can actually meet all the below, you might be an high contender:

1) there are over 10 celebrities which are named "the next (your name)"

2) there are over 10 celebrities which are so called "best dressed"or "fashion foward" but actually adopting your most famous style

3) you actually started a new fashion trend e.g boho chic la di da di dah...

4) a bag is named after you ....

5) when googling fashion icon ... you name appears in the results that pop up

6) never been in the worst dressed list

7) vice versa to above, you're in every best dressed list

8) 1% is what you wear and 99% is about how you wear it

9) most likely you dont know that you are so called an "icon" because you are simply being yourself ... the concept of effortlessly stylish of course

10) ***MOST IMPORTANTLY**** you are not famous or an icon because of the designs you're wearing but more like designs are famous because you are wearing them...

Yes Patricia Field has credit to her style but in the end... tell me if you didnt wanna be a carrie bradshaw during the satc days?? she created a pop culture phenomena with her style!

I can name a thousand models, celebrities whos been named the next kate moss ... whether her looks or style... natalia vodianova, gemma ward, sasha pivovarova, sienna miller just to name a few...

This is audrey hepburn in breakfast in tiffanys... i could have used all the little black dresses and capri pants looks which she is most famous for.... but who wouldve made Givenchy that famous if it wasnt audrey wearing it

Theres just too many celebrities that know how to dress thanks to stylists but who can really stand out?... I dunno maybe the growth of technology makes so many things more accessible and easy that its hard to stand out anymore....

Style blogger - Bryan Boy

The age of digital media has brought a new bunch of fashion pioneers to the fashion industry... there are so many influential bloggers nowadays we have blog overloads. I have like bookmarks of 100blogs which I read and the list is building... but at the same time i'm starting to delete some of the boring ones... same old style, same old poses... (not to name any names :P)

So... my fav style blogger no. 1 : www.bryanboy.com

I know I dont need to actually need to name him here cos everyone would know who he is and blah blah...but I just feel the need to congratulate him on his success which he gained from the amount of effort and dedication. His blog shows variety, from runway pics, videos and reports to his own personal style to everything that happens. He manages to show his personality and creates a very personal experience for the reader. On top of all this, I personally think his success lies on the fact that even after all these years, his blog is never boring, always new and vibrant! Great Work!!

Fall trends

According to Style.com, here are the fall trends 2010 with additionally my point of view :)

1. Flares - shown in Balmain's collection

comment: a little bit of flare is ok like boot leg jeans but not in the shape of lamp shades... main concern is i will need to stock in new jeans and finding the perfect pair of boot leg jeans cost A FORTUNE!

2. something velvet -

comment: brands have always been trying to heat velvet over the past few years but never succeeded... im personally never a fan but do have a nice velvet blazer in case velvet comes back this year :P

3. Camel Coat - show in Celine and Chloe

comment: YESSSSS J"ADORE!! always loved camel colour stuff... just such a graceful, classy and elegant colour...

4. a shearling -

comment: have one of those at the back of my wardrobe as well ... from kids gap!! to petite ladies out there who arent shopping in kids departments...you are missing out... BIG TIME!

5. statement gloves

comment: gloves are a classy accessory and to make it wild and adventurous is just not right.. its like making a worn/destressed denim birkin bag... doesnt make sense!

6. fur bag

comment: at the risk of being splashed with paint!

7. short cuffed jeans

comment - no please... makes people short and fat look short and fat, please no more trends for model only bodies!
