I was looking for something for the sole purpose of inspiration and beautiful pictures.  I wasn't quite sure what I was looking for, but I would know it when I found it.  I thumbed through magazines, searched online, watched the style network...nothing.  I decided I needed to read a book, nothing deep, just something to take me away on a fashion dream trip.  Then I saw it. The most fabulous book cover ever.  The title alone was enough....I was smitten...  Audrey in Rome.

So, thanks to Audrey, I broke out the ballet flats, the cropped jeans and the huge sunnies.  I should have known a little Audrey was all I needed... and if she were around today, I imagine her wearing this:

 When I envision the style of the cast of Les Miserables I think of Military inspired pieces, soft billowy blouses and strong colors of red and navy.  And with the winter storm looming, it feels all the more right to be bundled up in a cape, cardigan and boots.  This is my Les Mis inspiration:

What is it with celebs? They make a trip to Whole Foods so chic, a walk through the airport fabulous and a red carpet look effortless.  Sure they have stylists, and make-up artists, hair stylists and much more disposable income.  Well - I guess that all helps.  With that said- they still inspire many and send a lot of us running to the mall.  My faves? Lately I have been loving Jessica Biel and Olivia Palermo.
