Sailor Stripes

Who: musical duo Tennis

Signature style: The Nautical Influence

Circa: the 1860s

How to rock it: You don’t need to own a yacht to pull off this breezy style. Classic white & navy stripes and short-sleeve collared shirts are a few easy elements to look for. Add a splash of red to accent your look but remember to keep it crisp, clean and simple. Lastly, ditch those thick winter socks and slip on a pair of relaxed loafers or keds.

Mod Muse

Who: Edie Sedgwick

Signature Style: Sweater Tights

Circa: the ’60s

How to rock it: Wintertime doesn’t have to mean packing away your favourite mini. Take a tip from everyone’s favourite party girl: throw on a pair of thick stockings and knee high boots and pour yourself a holiday cocktail.

Victorian Vixen

Who: Jennifer Love Hewitt (aka Melinda Gordon)

Signature Style: The Victorian Blouse

Circa: the (19)00s

How to rock it: This fall wardrobe staple is a perfect fit for Jennifer Love Hewitt’s gig as an antique shop owner on the hit T.V. series Ghost Whisperer.  Elegant on its own, the high collar adds a feminine touch under any peacoat or can be layered with warm-weather garments to winterize your wardrobe–and given its classic simplicity, add an accessory or two without looking overdone.

Temptress Tresses

Who: Brigitte Bardot

Signature Style: Tousled Sex Hair

Circa: the ‘60s

How to rock it: Brigitte’s signature sex kitten style works best with long, slightly wavy hair. The great thing about this ‘do is it allows for maximum sex appeal with minimal effort: you really want to play with the messiness of your natural curls. First, blow dry the hair with a round brush or set in large curlers. Then comb-tease your mane, section by section, starting from the mid-top of your head and working your way back to the crown. Once you’ve achieved your desired volume, tousle the hair back with your fingers or a light comb and sprintz with hairspray. For a more polished look, loosely tie the hair half up or pull it back into a messy ponytail.

Domestic Doll

Who: Zooey Deschanel

Signature Style: The Cocktail Dress

Circa: the ’50s

How to rock it: These dresses are fitting for everyday wear or a special occasion. Zooey often opts for a casual cotton/linen style of cocktail dress that is lighter and more versatile than your average party dress—but equally as elegant. Pair with big rollers and ballet slippers or stylish oxfords to complete this adorable look for spring.

Prettiest Pout

Who: Katy Perry

Signature Style: Bright Fuchsia Lipstick

Circa: the ’80s

How to rock it: This look is super hot for spring 2010. When going bold in the lippy department be sure to keep the rest of your makeup light and simple. Start with a light powdered foundation and add thin liquid (or pencil) liner across the top eyelid + mascara, and complete this look with a light dusting of pink blush.

Concert Tease

Who: Drew Barrymore

Signature Style: Concert Tees

Circa: the ‘90s

How to rock it:  Drew is a true fashion chameleon. One of the few Hollywood babes who can rock a red carpet in Versace and kick back in worn-out jeans and a toque—with equal playfulness and ease. Drew marries the best of both worlds in her signature look, pairing vintage concert tees with a relaxed blazer. This is a subtle and sophisticated way to showcase that favourite band shirt you’ve had hiding in your bottom drawer.

Romper Room

Who: Jenny Lewis

Signature Style:  The Romper

Circa: the ’70s

How to Rock it: This high-cut 70’s inspired  one-piece is great for bumming around in the sun. Rock it to a summer festival, at the beach, or on a patio.  Customize your look with big retro sunglasses, a belt, or cute hair clips.  More modern versions in cotton or silk can be worn with tights and a long cardigan for those cool summer nights on the town.

Babelicious Boots

Who: Nancy Sinatra

Signature Style: the boots + the sweater dress

Circa: the ’60s

How to Rock it: Frumpy sweaters never looked so hot! This look is perfect for those transition months as temperatures begin to cool off. Pair this outfit with thick tights for a cozy sexy look you can wear well into the wintry season.  Warning:  Short-shorts recommended.

Fancy Felines

Who: Cat Power (a.k.a. Chan Marshall)

Customize this trend with a sequined cotton/polyester version to add a little glitz and glam to any outfit.
