We think she’s N.E.E.T. because of: her love of color and pattern, her style icon is Carrie Bradshaw, and we featured her in N.E.E.T. way back in 2007 – and she’s still working it!

What’s the meaning behind your blog’s name?

I used to have the fashion blog, The Vintage Society.. it started with the idea to eventually open a store with that name. Over the years, things changed a lot and I started working as a stylist and fashion editor and I felt I need to re-brand myself and my blog. B. Jones Style is my brand with my name in it. It is about my style and how that effects every nook and cranny of my life: fashion, home, travel and shopping.

Your style icons?

Recently, I have been really inspired by Diane Keaton during the 70s and 80s. I love people who go all out like Catherine Baba or Iris Apfel. My all time icon is Carrie Bradshaw… till the day I die!

How would you describe your style?

Vintage-Inspired, Eclectic, Dram-glam.

What inspires you?

I’ve been really inspired by movie/tv characters lately: Annie Hall, Play it Again Sam, SATC, Clueless, Mary Tyler Moore Show, etc. I am also inspired by vintage pieces – I love buying something unique and then letting that inspire an outfit.

Your favorite item in your wardrobe?

High waist trousers. I wear them all the time and make the layered up and simple.. any season and always classic. Love them.

How would you describe your blog?

Very much me! It is about my style and how the effects my fashion sense, my home decor and how I shop. I thrift and vintage shop a lot… mainly because I love the hunt and I love pulling off the “runway looks” without breaking the bank. I am every day kinda girl who loves bringing glamour into every aspect of life. I believe women should dress up and have fun even if their life consists of errand running, dinner dates, and just the regular ‘ole stuff.

What are your fashion plans for this spring?

Prada-esque stripes on anything, coveralls, big flashy earrings, wide leg high waist pants, gold paired with a bohemian piece, and big florals.

Local Shopping Secrets:

I do shopping features on my site which showcase my favorites places to shop, so here are a few: Crossroads Trading Co. (for designer pieces at low prices), Elsewhere Vintage (amazing vintage), and MaCalistaire Vintage (gypsy vintage).

Online Shopping Secrets:

I buy a lot on Etsy but not neccessarily from one shop. I love to shop for the trends that I am looking for, like shopping for key words such as “wide stripes”, “big florals”, etc.

What’s the meaning behind your blog’s name?

I think it was some kind of word play, it sounded good to my ears. The basis is “Alice” which is my real name. ‘Point’ means my point of view about fashion, trends etc.

What inspires you?

Fashion blogs are my first inspiration. I’m also inspired by fashion shows and magazines, by music, and art. I also love watching people and so get many good ideas while strolling along or going by tram.

What’s your favorite item in your wardrobe?

Levi’s denim shorts, bought second hand for about 1 euro.

Mamushka was actually a nickname my boyfriend gave me when we first started dating, he is always coming up with silly names to call me… I then added my middle name Marie and it stuck!

How would you describe your blog?

Lydia Okello, 21, from Vancouver, Canada, is currently a barista at Starbucks, but is starting a Fashion Merchandising program in November, so hopefully won’t be a Barista forever! She blogs over at: styleisstyle.blogspot.com

Who are your style icons?

Where do I start? I will never get enough of late 50s/early 60s housewife, debutante goodness. I know that the 1950s come and go as far as trends go, but to me there is nothing better. So so many bloggers inspire me! Some of my favourites who are “iconic” to me are CaliVintage, The Clotheshorse, Mitzi Cocoa, Taghrid, Kristin Gisors, and Hannah of Hannah and Landon. As far as celebrities goes, I really like Chloë Sevigny and Zooey Deschanel’s style. Chloe has a fearlessness that is unparalleled, and Zooey has a panache for vintagey looks that are too good to resist. I love the music and style of Florence and the Machine and La Roux. Florence truly is dreamlike vision come to life, all romantic and mystical (in the least costume-y way), and La Roux has effortless, androgynous cool, of which I am very jealous.

How would you describe your style?

My style is first and foremost girly. I love anything frilly and feminine, and I wear pants all of 10 times a year (on average). I think my style is best described as feminine, vintage inspired whimsy.

What inspires you?

Anything vintage always gets me going. There is something about “the good olden days” that gets me going. There are so many blogs that I read (my Google Reader is a out of control), so I’m inspired daily by bloggers from around the world. I’m also a bit of a magazine junkie, Lula Magazine is hands down my favourite. You’ll never be disappointed by an issue of Lula! Other than that, I’m inspired by random ordinary things, and my friends and family.

What’s your favourite item in your wardrobe?

It is very, very difficult to choose one item, but I would have to say my thrifted tulle skirt is one of my very favourite finds. It’s the perfect amount of sweetness, and I had been searching for one for so long that when I finally found it, I was ecstatic! I also love my navy wool cape, also from a thrift store. I’m currently love my self made leopard print turban headband. It was crafted from a 50¢ tank top, and now it’s an indispensible bad hair day staple!

How would you describe your blog?

An outfit heavy photo blog, with snippets from my daily life. I try to write a little something with every post. I also post lots of editorials and images that I find visually arresting and inspiring, as well as other bloggers who inspire me.

What are your fashion plans for this fall?

This fall I’m craving chunky knit sweaters and scarves, anything in a bitter shade of mustard, lots of capes, stacked oxford heels, gravity defying platforms and leopard print. All things leopard print are looking deliciously tacky and awesome to me lately!

Local Shopping Secrets:

I’ve just moved from a smaller city (Abbotsford, BC) to a major city – Vancouver, BC. I haven’t done tons of shopping, but I really like USED on Granville Street and Front and Company on Main Street. The first is a really great vintage shop, with decent (read: not stratospheric) prices, and the second is a well laid out consignment store with a great selection of new, vintage and consigned clothing.

Online Shopping Secrets:

Modcloth!!! I know they’ve been growing in popularity, and with good reason. They carry amazing pieces, and who doesn’t love store updates every day?!? I also really like Ramona West Vintage for reconstructed vintage that looks deliciously modern (without losing its retro charm). As far as Etsy goes, I like to drool over Gardens of Whimsy‘s amazing collection of floral adornments. There are some beautiful pieces over at My Loved One and Lisa Zain kills me with their array of exquisite vintage shoes.

Carrie Bradshaw, Kerri Washington, Grace Kelly.

How would you describe your style?

I would describe my style as timeless, and understated. I do like to incorporate trendy items into my wardrobe from time to time, however I usually style them around classic pieces to add more longevity to my wardrobe.

What inspires you?

I guess an easier question to answer would be, what doesn’t inspire me! Everything inspires me. From nature, and architecture, to art and ancient antiquities. I am a very visual person; I love images that evoke some sort of thought, and emotion.

What’s your favorite item in your wardrobe?

My favorite item in my wardrobe would most likely have to be my Diane Von Furstenberg silk wrap dress. I’ve had it for almost 10 years, and it is still as relevant today as it was then.

How would you describe your blog?

My blog is pretty much an extension of me. It encompasses my love for all things creative, touches on my quest for self-advancement whilst inviting others to come along on the journey with me, and of course, I talk a lot about hair!

What have you been wearing this this summer?

MORE tribal prints, shorts with a nice scalloped edge, vintage floppy hats, vintage pin-up swimsuits, vintage rompers and high waist shorts.

Everyone names them, but I do adore Alexa Chung and Zooey Deschanel. Big influences for me are also Katharine Hepburn and Diane Keaton’s movie characters in Annie Hall, Baby Boom and Manhattan Murder Mystery.

How would you describe your style?

Modern and vintage American classics with a dash of menswear.

What inspires you?

Music, movie characters, books, England, my mom, and other fashion bloggers.

What’s your favorite item in your wardrobe?

Hardest question, but I would have to say my great grandmother’s fur. It has her initial in the lining. I’ll never part with it.

How would you describe your blog?

My blog is glimpse of my ever changing sartorial moods. It’s about attainable (wearable) fashion with a hint of risk. It also shows bits of my life with my amazing husband, Cole, and two crazy dogs, Wellington and Pipin.

What are/have been your fashion plans for this summer?

I’ve been on the hunt for vintage lace blouses, anything 90s’ and floral, some tough kick arse boots, a felt floppy hat, the perfect high waist denim shorts, and platform clogs – all of which I can transition into fall.

Local Shopping Secrets:

The Salvation Army is my local go-to shop. I live in a very rural area, so we don’t have much in the way of fashion. In Royal Oak, MI (which is where I grew up and my parents still live) I always hit up Lost and Found Vintage.

I can’t go a day without checking ModCloth’s new arrivals. I also stalk several Etsy and eBay shops. I’m all about finding vintage on the cheap.

How would you describe your style?

I think it’s slightly eclectic, experimental and messy. Its a mix of bold patterns, classic dressing and being fun. I don’t stick to trends and like to play around with different styles.

What inspires you?

Everything and anything. I’m inspired by patterns, colours, print, people, places, art. I think its all part of being an artist at heart. I like to write down things that inspire me in my notebook.

What’s your favorite item in your wardrobe?

A pair of leopard moccasins I bought for £2. They are threadbare and I wear them all the time, they have a funky smell and the soles falling off, but I just cannot part with them. They are my all time favourite shoes!

How would you describe your blog?

LLYMLRS is a normal blog for normal girls, with obtainable clothes and normal lifestyle. It’s just real and not like some fashion blogs who are like ” This is 24 pictures of me, walking down the street in a $500 vintage designer dress with my new Balenciaga handbag, just holding my latte…”.

Who are your style icons?

I’m very inspired by Chloë Sevigny and Zooey Deschanel. Both of them have adorable styles without looking oh-so-trendy or too ordinary either. They’re just so unique in their way. At the moment, I love Charlotte Gainsbourg because she is a beautiful French lady that can pull off masculine look in amazing way. I also adore Natasha Khan from Bat For Lashes because of her breath-taking style and she stands out of the rest musicians nowadays.

How would you describe your style?

It’s a bit hard to explain. I’m crazy about vintage stuff but I love to rework it in my outfits in a modern way. I love all kinds of clothes and mixing styles, depending on my mood board and my current inspirations. Monochrome, matching colors, and layering are the keys of my outfits. I barely wear jewelry, but I’m a hats and scarves junkie. I also combine socks with everything. When I dress up, I love to get into a character, with my signature style and I just wear my heart on my sleeve.

What inspires you?

Ummm.. basically everything! From music, movies, books, or random things. I love vintage eras from 1950s to 1980s because each era has their own uniqueness. I take every little essence of the eras and bring them into my outfits. Browsing fashion blogs or street style blogs is also one of my favorite ways to get inspired. Everyone has their own fashion taste which is essentially down to their individual sense of style and it’s very interesting to get inspirations from real people. I enjoy flipping through fashion magazine pages. While imagining those unaffordable clothes, I try to integrate little essences of those editorials to incorporate what’s in Vogue into my wardrobe in a way that expresses my personality.

Your favorite item in your wardrobe?

Definitely my leather jacket! It’s my timeless wardrobe staple for every occasion and every style. I’d love to buy a leather jacket every week if I had unlimited shopping budget!

How would you describe your blog?

Well, as a little kid from nowhere on earth, I find the internet builds tremendous connections between me and people around the universe on the same page. My passion for fashion, inspiration, favorite things, thoughts, and little stories of my life are the reasons I created a blog, rather than just to show what I’m wearing today. I put fashion as a form of creativity – how a person dresses and acts with the clothes through the freedom, passion, difference and style, it becomes the art of individuals. It’s more personal than the fashion community websites (like Lookbook.nu and Chictopia) that I belong to.

What are your fashion plans for this summer?

A boater hat (I’ve been looking for this for ages!), brown chunky wedges (should be comfy ones), a summer trench in khaki/pastel color, sheer patterned tights, a floral romper, and leather shorts!

Who are your style icons?

My favorite era is probably the 1960s but I adore 50s’ swimwear! Highwaist bikini bottoms, swimsuits with floral patterns and all that kind of thing. I don’t follow celebrity style, but I adore the style of fashion editors like Kate Lanphear and Anna Dello Russo.

How would you describe your style?

Usually minimalistic. I have loads of accessories and jewelry but I never wear them… I even don’t know why. And my style isn’t very girly.. rather like boyish.

What inspires you?

Music, other blogs, tons of photos and looking at Tumblr blogs every day, books, movies and of course – magazines.

What’s your favorite item in your wardrobe?

My simple khaki high waist shorts, I wear them way too often!

How would you describe your blog?

It shows the fashionable side of my life.

What are your fashion plans for this summer?

On the top of my wishlist are new denim shorts, a feather headdress/headband, some maxi dresses, a big knuckle ring with an amethyst cluster, leather t-shirt à la Céline (I know it’s probably not the best choice for summer but maybe for colder weather) and a hat which looks like a turban… I have no idea where I can find something like this.. I should try Ebay – as always!
