I've just been reading a book about my style icons style through throughout her career (very deep of me!) and made me wonder who other people's are.

There are quite a few women whose style I take inspiration from but if I had to choose just one it would be Kate Moss (after a little diet).

I have never really found an ultimate style icon, despite searching for one! I like aspects of the style of Emmanuelle Alt, Kristen Stewart and Cara Delevigne, but would love to find another 'grown up' like Alt whose style I can really admire and take inspiration from - I'm getting a bit old to be getting style inspiration from people born in the 90s!

Carla Bruni-Sarkozy always looks great, even when forced to wear flat shoes because her husband is a shortarse.

I've decided David Bowie is actually a great icon for my Ingenue Natural (house of colour) style personality. He was a brilliant layerer.

Mine is Olivia Palermo. I love her style, especially her relaxed everyday style.

I can't think of anyone modern.
Maybe Paloma faith minus the make up and hair or that Florence and the machine girl.

Sorry, there were a couple I forgot:
Katharine Hepburn
Edith Sitwell

Please don't say I can only pick one!

I can't think of anyone younger either. Emmanuelle Alt and the like may always look good but they don't inspire me.

I really like olivia palermo (quirky trendy looks), rosie huntingdon whiteley (sexy bikery trendy looks) and jennifer aniston (casual and natural). Together they sum up all the looks I like and suit me.

I think Emma Willis always looks great. She's so tall and slim she'd look good in a bin bag though!

I like Millie Mackintosh's style as well. Particularly her day time makeup/clothes, she always looks groomed but in a natural way.

Jennifer Aniston and Angelina Jolie are so beautiful but too simple and understated for my tastes.
