Rebecca Roe, aka The Clothes Horse, 23, lives in Fort Lewis, Washington and is a fulltime blogger over at theclothes.blogspot.com
Who are your style icons?
I really admire the style of Sofia Coppola in her sartorial choices and in her films. I also love Anna Dello Russo’s style – more people should wear looks directly from the runway! And Faye Dunaway’s character in Bonnie and Cylde has my ideal wardrobe.
How would you describe your style?
Quirky, whimsical, and feminine.
What inspires you?
Everything; I like looking at other bloggers, but I’m also largely influenced by old movies and my surroundings.
Your favorite item in your wardrobe?
A dress that Neneee (neneee.com) and I collaborated on; it’s split right down the middle featuring two different brocades.
How would you describe your blog?
My blog is an artistic personal style blog; I capture my daily outfits in the wilderness near where I live and I’m just as likely to post on illustrators, Romantic poets, and graffiti as I am on runway collections.
What are your fashion plans for this summer?
This summer I’m playing with unusual lengths (for me) and vintage fascinators. I find summer looks are all about the accessories, so finding interesting ones is the current goal. I’m actually trying to experiment this summer. A few items I’m into: flower crowns, sheer black blouses, nude heels, socks with sandals and oxfords (cool weather in WA makes layering possible all year long), mixed prints, gold jewelry (mostly rings and double finger rings), colorschemes of berry, navy, black, and matte, bright red lipstick. I want to try lots of new looks this summer!

Tieka Dierolf, 23, from Grand Haven, MI, is a freelance designer, office manager and blogger over at selectivepotential.blogspot.com
Who are your style icons?
I absolutely adore Tennessee Thomas (and the other girls from The Like) style-wise. They are so classic! I also love Zooey Deschanel, Diane Kruger and Rachel Bilson. Especially their street-style. I feel like all of them combine feminine with an edge and all have vintage inspired style. Definitely something I strive for!
How would you describe your style?
I’d say I’m very girly with feminine florals, but with a rocker edge. I love mixing the two looks! But I’d definitely say I fit to match my surroundings. A ship tour? I’m dressed nautically. A picnic in a field? I’m dressed in florals. A downtown concert? I’m in lace up boots and a lace dress. It all depends!
What inspires you?
Definitely the seasons. I feel like in each season my style changes to fit whatever my surroundings are! It’s so fun to see my fall looks, compared to my winter looks to my spring looks. It’s like a new person emerges each season but each season has elements of each other. I’m also really inspired by old photographs, movies and other bloggers just like me.
Your favorite item in your wardrobe?
I adore my new Jeffrey Campbell splendid sandals. I feel like they could be dressed up so many ways – in so many different styles. Plus the combination of black and brown is my favorite color mix.
How would you describe your blog?
Selective Potential is a place where I talk all about my own personal style, my marriage, trips we take, adventures we have and I also talk a lot about Michigan. I like to show people how amazing any place can be if you make the most of it!
What are your fashion plans for this summer?
I plan on living in a skater summer dress, Rayban Wayfarer style sunglasses, lugging around a canvas tote, with 70 SPF sunscreen, cut off jean shorts, panama black ribboned hat and a vintage inspired high rise bottom bathing suit. It gets so hot and muggy here in Michigan in the summers, so any type of free dress, protection from the sun and a tote to carry around my beach towel and necessities – it’s all I need!

Age: 24 Style Icons: Of course I adore everyone’s favorites (Alexa Chung, Zooey D., Kirsten), but I think most of what influences my style has more to do with someone’s perspective than their actual outfit. I guess my two favorites there are Ellen Von Unwerth and Leith Clark. They both deliver such playful and romantic energy, Ellen with her videos and Leith with her magazine, that I often find myself dressing as a character in their worlds. |
