Just as style takes us places, so did our favorite Disney characters. Why not reminisce a little and try on some modernized mixes of our favorite Disney characters style? Let’s face it- we still haven’t fully made it out of our ‘I want to be a princess’ phase… so why give up on our dreams now?
Earth, Wind & Fire is a band formed in 1969 that perfectly fused disco, jazz fusion, soul, funk, and rock. The group found its name “Earth, Wind & Fire” from the original group member’s astrological sign, Sagittarius, that has elements of fire, air, and earth. The group won 6 Grammy awards, 4 American Music Awards, and are Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees. The earth, wind and fire elements could also be a great influence for a person’s style. Check out these style selections inspired by the mighty elements:
Ever wonder how it would be if you lived in another time period? If it were up to us, we would live in the 20s. Its just something about the sex appeal, mystery, and allure of that time period that always gets our attention. Imagine speakeasies, the Harlem Renaissance, zoot-suits, and long cigarettes. We found a way to bring the flapper into the 2013. Scroll through some of our amazing selections to see how you could incorporate this look into your wardrobe:
Blue suits seemed to have been a hit all year long, but the Christmas day release of Django Unchained put the trend back on the map. In the movie, Jamie Foxx’s character Django gets a chance to pick out an outfit. Of course, out of all options, he chooses a flamboyant royal blue suit. But Django wasn’t the only person fond of the look this year. Check out the others who unchained their style with bright and bold blue suits:
Jean Michel Basquiat was an American artist. He began his career as a graffiti artist and quickly evolved into a renown neo-expressionist. The focus of his art was on ‘dichotomies’, such as the rich vs. the poor.

Watching YouTube videos is a bit like jumping down the rabbit hole of the internet, it’s incredibly easy to get sucked in, clicking on the next related video and before you know, hours have gone by and you’re watching a turtle try to eat a grape, not really sure how you got there in the first place. On one rainy afternoon I found myself doing exactly that except I did have a theme. Music videos from the 90s (mostly early 2000s) and before I knew it I was obsessed all over again with Spice Girls wardrobe, wondering how Britney Spears managed to dance in any of her scantily clad outfits and realizing that Beyonce was always the star in Destiny’s Child. It’s bittersweet and a bit nostalgic to draw inspiration from pop stars and celebrities that may have been in the posters covering your walls from childhood. Whether or not they’re still making music or are completely washed up, they are never really forgotten, thanks to the magic of YouTube and their timeless music video moments in fashion.

Staring into a closet with nothing to wear is a bit like an artist staring at a blank canvas or a writer at a blank page. You feel stuck, your creativity stifled and your wardrobe dull and boring. But don’t blame your clothes, yourself or anyone else for your fashion rut, it happens to everyone. We go shopping and return from the store empty handed or with half hearted purchases. We look at the same perfect piece in our wardrobe for months and can’t seem to figure out what else to wear it with. You can call it whatever you like but it all comes down to one thing that’s missing, that beginning spark of inspiration. After all, every artist needs to muse so why should fashion be any different?
