The stylish and quirky 27-year-old author and fashion blogger, Leandra Medine is the style icon today. For those who do not know, Leandra is the brain behind the American fashion blog – Man Repeller, a blog famous for documenting outfits women love to wear, and men love to hate. Leandra is known for her take no prisoners style, and the fact that she dresses for herself, and not for men or anyone else. In her words, she choose fashion over men, and she started her blog to showcase her style:

“There is a story that I’ve told a million times about being in Topshop with a close friend of mine, and I was complaining about the state of my love life and she essentially said, ‘Of course nobody wants to date you, you don’t dress for men,’ and it was sort of this really empowering moment for me where I was like, oh my gosh, I’m single by choice because I’m choosing fashion over the men. That’s when I started the blog.”

I first noticed Leandra’s style in 2013 when I set up Fashion and Style Police. She was one of the few fashion bloggers that caught my eye, and I have since been intrigued by her sense of style, and her writing. If you are having a bad day, just head over to her blog, you are sure to find various light-hearted posts to put you in a better mood.

I don’t think I will look half as good as she does, rocking most of her pieces, but I think it all boils down to self-confidence, which she has a lot of. For you to have a true personal style, you have to sort the confidence bit first. Leandra Medine can look good in anything because she CAN. I would want to be like how when I grow up, but then again, I am older than her, so I guessed I am grown up right?

Style is all about personality, and Cate Blanchett has a lot of it. I have admired this pretty woman’s style for as long as I can remember. She is the definition of a true Style Icon, and I love everything outfit I see on her. This woman rocks my style world.

Every piece and accessory I see her rocking,looks so stylish on her. Cate Blanchett possess a strong personal style that sets her apart from those that merely follow fashion trends, and what they think is in vogue. This beauty sets the style bar so high.

Cate Blanchett is daring enough to mix various labels, designs, and periods when putting together the perfect statement outfits, and I love that about her. I love the fact that she is not afraid of wearing colour, and colour does look good on her.

Another thing I love about Cate Blanchett, apart from her incredible sense of fashion and style, is her striking pose. This woman knows her angles, and she knows how to strike the perfect pose. I have never spotted her not camera ready ever!

I would love to look like Cate when I grow up. She is like the style goddess to me. I adore her style and everything she represents. I am always eager to see what she has on , on the Red Carpet, and she never fails to impress me. Her confident approach to her personal style is so fascinating.

Cate Blanchett has proved time and time again, that being over 40 (she is 46 years old), is no barrier to being stylish. I may find her acting and movies boring, but her sense of style gives me life.

All hail the Queen of Style.

On Sunday – 10 January, we lost a legend. David Bowie died a peaceful death after a courageous 18 month battle with liver cancer, 2 days after his 69th birthday. His death is a huge loss to all his fans, especially the music and fashion lovers.

The Style Icon: David Bowie

David Bowie was an iconic singer, artist, producer, actor and fashion god. He successfully invented his own style and made it look good. He grab fashion ideas from everywhere and put his spin on it. If anyone else wore most of his pieces, they would look stupid, but on Bowie, it was stylish. Guess that is why he is known as a Style Icon, he could get away wearing anything. He was a risk taker, and he was daring. This man had no comfort zone, Before Lady Gaga, there was David Bowie, and no one did flamboyance like him, no one even came close.

I adorned David Bowie’s music, style, confidence, willingness to try new things, and his ‘over the topness’. Sometimes I wish I could just let go and be like that, even if it was for 1 day. David Bowie did that to us, he was like a breath of fresh air, he had no rules, he lived his life on his own terms, and it felt good to watch. While other stars were busy being serious, he was having so much fun producing great music, playing around with his look, and standing out from the rest Guess that is why he was loved by many all over the world.

I am going to miss so much about him, but I believe he has gone to a better place, free from illnesses and worries, and I believe his music and style will continue to live on. My thoughts are with Iman and the rest of your family.

Rest in peace David Bowie.
