I want to be her

Have you guys seen the amazing new site I Want to Be Her? Andrea Linett, the former creative director of Lucky, stops adorable women on the streets of New York and asks them about their style. Then she features an illustration or photo, along with the girls' fun styling tips, like where to find glow-in-the-dark spider earrings and the perfect black leggings. See her fabulous blog here.

What a cute idea! Sometimes the best shopping finds are hidden and hard to come by, I love the idea of all us girls helping each other out!!

NMWELLS said...

NO. REALLY, THIS WAS SUCH A GRAND IDEA! Because sometimes women don't like giving their secrets away or they would never tell where they "bought that" from!

awesome! there are so many women i see on the street and i want to go up to them and say "really good job on that outfit." it's about time we women stopped being so competitive and appreciated each other! (that was so spice girls.)

Thanks so much for posting about her blog! I loved the monthly sketch from Andrea that was always featured on the last page of Lucky, and was sad to see it disappear. Now it's as though it's back!

Mich said...

L said...

Yes I have.. and because in my sheer excitement my cousin Leigh was on it. What a great idea though!

Miranda @ Haute Headquarters said...

I was devastated when I heard she left Lucky. To me, she is a style icon all her own (in cartoon form, of course)! So glad she's back in action. I only wish she'd show more of her outfits! xo

Siwa Soul said...

Thanks Jo,
I have just discovered your blog and am reading backwards through the entries. Love this one! And for the 52 year old, 5'11" writer, when I was a teenager I had an aunt about that age, and taller, with size 11+ feet, and she was the most stylish dresser I knew. Though she is no longer with us, Aunty Fran still inspires me in my dress choices, because now I am 52!
