Muse Of The Month: Lady Gaga

Muse of the Month is back is and could it be anyone else than Mama Monster aka Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta aka Lady Gaga. Have you listened to Lagy Gaga's new album Joanne? I think it's her best album so far. Songs I would recommend you to listen: Grigio Girls, Diamond Heart, Million Reasons, Come To Mama, A-YO, John Wayne

Lady Gaga definitely has the most extravagant style in the music industry nowadays. She always reinvents her style and she is not afraid to shock the world with her outfit choices. I find it really inspiring and I have big respect for Lady Gaga, not only as a style icon, but as a human being and as an artist, which she is with a capital A.

I've created two shoppable collages, the first one with Gaga's #JoanneVibes -pastel pink hats, cowboy boots, high rise denim shorts, blazers and big aviator sunglasses, and the second one with some "old school Gaga" pieces. But Gaga has no rules in fashion, so why should you?

It's almost the end of April (and Vappu in Finland! Already?), but here it is - The Muse of April: a girl who's been a significant part of little girls' life since 1959.

To me, Barbie was my first fashion icon. I was born in 1995 and I have a big sister who's six years older than me, so my Barbies were from 90s to 00s, but I think we had some late 80s Barbies too, which is cool. Our collection of Barbies was really big (and still is), from typical 90s Barbies to collectors Barbies, Disney princesses, the whole collection of 1998 and 1999 Generation Girls and a lot of different fashionista Barbies from the 00s. Even though I grew up during the era when Barbie wasn't the only popular doll available, it was always my favorite.

I've loved clothes and fashion as long as I can remember, and I think Barbie is the one to blame, along the genes from my mother of course. I always loved to dress Barbies and I had a huge collection of their clothes. I even have some unique pieces that my mother's friend sew for Barbies.

Barbie's style has changed during the decades and it varies between different Barbies, but the characteristic style of Barbie is very pink, girly and colorful. Just like Jeremy Scott's Spring/Summer 2015 collection for Moschino: matchy tops and bottoms, fun prints, roller skates and bubble gum pink.

MOOD

Couple of weeks ago I created an account on Seezona and now I've created three mood boards with it. I've been making mood boards a lot on the blog, so I'm happy to see that it got a lot easier with this new site. On Seezona you can create your own mood boards, shop the looks and follow inspiring people.

These three mood boards were inspired by Saint Laurent's rock vibes, Tommy Hilfiger's iconic 90's look with the trends of today.

Muse Of The Month: Whitney Houston

February's almost over, but here's the Muse of the Month - Whitney Houston (9.8.1963-11.2.2012). I got inspired by her 80's style and picked some items so you could get the look.

Whitney's style in the 80's and early 90's was fun, girly and feminine. The 80's was all about shoulder pads, mom jeans, bright colors and big hair. Whitney is a good example of that era. I especially love that blue jean, white top and leather jacket look. I'm also seriously considering a perm, not as wild as Whitney's hair though, but maybe a 'surf perm'.

Prairie Affair

Background photo by Gordon von Steiner, Vogue, January 2016

I've always loved prairie -inspired style, so when I saw those romantic florals, ruffles and lace in many collection for Spring/Summer 2016, I was pretty excited. One of my favorite editorials this season is the picture above of "Little Sisters" Kylie Jenner, Bella Hadid and Lottie Moss, wearing beautiful blossoms. If you're not into super-romantic-and-sweet look, choose combat boots -for example Dr. Martens, to bring some attitude and 90's feeling to your pretty blossoms.
