Style Crush: Juliet Simms

I'm not big into a lot of competition shows, but for obvious Adam Levine reasons, I watched The Voice this year. 

Contestant and second runner-up Juliet Simms, singer of Automatic Loveletter, was my absolute favorite. Her voice is a combination of old soul meets gypsy rock, with killer style to match. I think she could be the next modern day Stevie Nicks as her looks go from classic rock n'roll leather and lace vixen to etherial couture. She's outright beautiful, and isn't afraid to be a little gritty, two of my favorite combinations to mix. I'd classify her style as Florence and the Machine meets Joan Jett.

And let's not ignore the fact that she has bangs!

Some of her looks absolutely inspired. Take a look at how you can mimic this siren's style!

70s Fashion Icons That Still Rock!

Music is a huge influence on my style. And while we've got Lady Gaga, Madonna and Gwen Stefani who have become some of biggest fashion icons in music today, I find the ladies of the 70s got it right.

These ladies had killer dos and of course, knew how to sing with style. Even today, a lot of fashion emulates the 70s, and I can't help but think these women had something to do with it. I definitely draw inspiration from each of them.

Debbie Harry

 

What: Lead singer of Blondie.

Why her style rocks: Ms. Harry was the ultimate fem punk rock gal of the 70s, mixing gritty glam rock with a dash of sexy streetwise style. 

Signature look: Punk rock glam.

Cher

What: Was married to Sonny Bono, a la Sonny & Cher. Wore some crazy ass ish.

Why her style rocks: As much as her voice is unique, Cher was never afraid to wear over-the-top costumes and experiment with style. 

Signature looks: Her dark black hair and winged out eyeliner combined with variety show costumes and that weird outfit she wore in the "If I Could Turn Back Time Video". And she's got an ass tattoo.

Stevie Nicks

 

What: Singer of Fleetwood Mac

Why her style rocks: This songbird with an affliction for the magical and mythical rocked 70s platforms and bohemian flowy frocks like it was her job. Just consider her the good witch of boho/gypsy.

Signature looks: Gold dust woman.

Diana Ross

What: Singer of The Supremes, was also in the movies The Wiz and Mahogany. Oh, and she touched Lil Kim's boob at the VMA awards in 1999.

Why her style rocks: From show-stopping gowns during her time in The Supremes, to her mod style in the 60s and disco in the 70s, Diana Ross pulled it all off.

Signature look: Huge hair and over the top Hollywood glamour.
