My Style Muses

Monday, February 15th, 2010 | 57 Comments

As much as I love fashion magazines, when it comes to the models that actually “inspire” me I look more at their blogs for looks rather than what they’re wearing in a photo shoot. I’m just more interested in what THEY choose to wear out!! Some models really do stick to their magazine’s style, but some tend to gravitate towards a more relaxed version of what you’d see them wearing in magazines. Or maybe they prefer one style more often than you’d guess from the magazine spreads. I’m rambling. Anyway~

I wanted to do a picture post! Mostly of Popteen models but some others thrown in. Of girls daily wear outfits and not magazine photoshoots!

Also, for the model blogs I follow DAILY you can find the links in my LINKS SECTION.

Before I post model pictures, these are from the SNAP BOMBER section of Popteen. I scanned these in last week before I got sick, haahaa! Just gals’ outfits that were submitted. Usually they’re super tiny photos on the bottom of the page. I find these SO inspiring because they’re everyday girls rocking the styles and it seems attainable seeing these girls pull it off! It’s one of my favorite sections of Popteen. I want to start scanning these in more often and sharing them~









These are just various outfits I had on my hard drive from different model’s blogs~~ LOTS OF THEM~! I tried to keep them all winter-related though

















I got out today~ Into the city. I could tell it made Mike really happy. I felt bad but my being sick kept him inside too. He was so nice taking care of me. Making me soup and cleaning up the house and letting me rest and getting me medicine. He took today off to spend with me though we didn’t think I’d be sick. But getting out felt REALLY GOOD. I’ve been indoors so long.

I’m feeling OK. Not “great” :F but I think work should be doable tomorrow. Thankfully the snow we got today didn’t stick, though it’ll be an icy morning.

Wow! I love it when the pictures are so casual and for regular normal outings. No photoshopping. Just regular cell phone cameras.

Being sick really sucks, especially when it’s a holiday. I’m sick too, but it looks like you’re recovering nicely.

Ok. This post is awesome. Full of so much inspiration! I have to look at it for a little while longer before I can reply on it . Thanks for compiling all those images!!

I’m glad to hear you are feeling at least ok. Sometimes it takes so long to recover and you wish your body’d just get on with it already. Oh, Mike sounds so thoughtful and caring, I am happy for you guys^^ I hope you will feel better and can get out more.

Glad you got out into the outside world (:
Staying inside while sick really brings you down sometimes! I also decided to take time off my sickness and go see the movies. And you are right seeing what the models wear in real life does inspire more. Since I know in those pictures they weren’t all dolled up and picture perfect. Allthough most of them look picture perfect still . xP

jenny said
February 16, 2010 @ 8:44 pm

Yea really, mostly they still look 100% made up but I do keep their unmake pics around to remind myself no one’s perfect ALL of the time!

Aw, how sweet! Significant others are really fantastic, aren’t they~

There are some really great pictures there. They all look cute in the overalls, but I don’t know if that’s something I could pull off myself, especially since the only overalls I’ve really known are the farmer denim ones. I think I could do a romper though!

jenny said
February 16, 2010 @ 8:45 pm

Rompers are definitely fun too and have more color & pattern choices!

Everyday fashion is so much more fascinating!

I think I may need a wc bag now O_O

jenny said
February 16, 2010 @ 9:05 pm

DO WANT! There’s a eco tote for WC too but must be store only b/c I’ve only ever scene it in random street snaps~~!!

 
 
Akaranbo said
February 16, 2010 @ 5:36 am

I kinda prefer model’s personal snap to their magazine’s look,
even if there are great look in magazines too ! Maybe b/c it’s more “natural”.
I love the first snap on the left, sweet colors and WC overall~ *heart*
And all the Chinatsu’s snap, she’s always so stylish ! c:

jenny said
February 16, 2010 @ 9:07 pm

Yea~ definitely more natural. Not so forced perhaps~

 
 
cin said
February 16, 2010 @ 6:02 am

Yup I agree! The model snaps are more “real” and not so done up as the magazine ones But then again I’m get lazy sometimes and much prefer wearing something casual over dressing up.
I do love the many peace signs though! They’re all so cute! and I just got a denim skirt like Tsubasa

And yay you’re getting better!!

Good luck today, bebe *hugs*
& you know I totally agree~ ‘real life’ is so much better than the mags, haha! I definitely prefer Kumikki’s style outside of her Popteen ‘image’… It’s so much cooler imo. Jun always looks fabulous though & Chinatsu wins it hands-down for me, but I wanted to ask~ who is the model in the pink shirt with the salopette standing next to a guy, 8th row down on the left? She’s adorable!

Lanna said
February 16, 2010 @ 11:49 am

Isn’t that Kumikki next to Ayumu

jenny said
February 16, 2010 @ 9:09 pm

Yup! I think it’s an older picture *last winter*

Oooh… I love the one wearing the cream color knitted cardigan and the gray v neck t-shirt!! It’s sooo hot here, all this talk of winter makes me wish it were colder already.

I’m glad you’re feeling better!!

ugghh why do models all dress so nicely! jealous jealous.. if only i had the money to buy such nice clothes over wherei live in australia cute clothes like that is pretty expensive @__@ everything is so so overpriced!!

glad to hear you’re feeling better! dont forget to sleep early and drink lots of fluids!

We got some snow here in NY last night, it left everything mushy -_-

Hopefully there will be more sunny days to melt all the leftover ice!!

thank you so much for all the effort in scanning them! I totally agree with you about looking at models’ personal styles! Do you happen to know if Chikako from Vivi has one? I adore her!

In 8th row left pic, the guy looks like he walk right out from a manga or some japanese game!! @.@

Awww….. Mike has got to be the best hubby!! I wish my bf is like him. He’s been heading out having fun knowing that I can’t go out. =( Sadness.

jenny said
February 16, 2010 @ 9:02 pm

I couldn’t find one for Chikako Watanabe, sorry =Y

Thanks I agree with you here,I prefer the blog photos over magazine shoots.My favourite section in mags is always the street snaps
Just find it more inspirational.

Love all these models styles,especially Chinatsu and Kumikki
Its nice to go out after being inside to for too long

きよみ said
February 16, 2010 @ 4:47 pm

it’s nice to see the models dressed like that. It makes everything seem more ‘real’ and less ‘fake’ if that makes any sense. haha~ like you said it all seems more attainable for the ‘regular’ person and makes you feel like you can be pretty like them too. That gray WC shirt reminds me of the one you ordered It’s real cute! Glad to hear you’re getting better jenny! And thank you for the inspirational pictures!

jenny said
February 16, 2010 @ 9:13 pm

Ah yea! I got the red version of that shirt….if it EVER gets here =___=;;

February 16, 2010 @ 5:49 pm

Hhaha - the model’s looks are great! THE BIG HAIR - OMG, THE BIG HAIR!

But yeah, great cute looks - although the only look that I could emulate without looking super-douchey would be the absolute last picture /sads Good to hear you’re feeling better lah!

PRO TIP: TOTALLY SHOULD FEEL BETTER SOON!

I really hope you feel better & the weather clears up! ♥

The shorts + tights combo is really cute, I’ve always wanted to try it but it’s getting warmer and I hate wearing shorts… OTL they make it look so good.

Amazing styles! I love the minnie mouse girl up there near the top x3

i agree with you completely! Fashion shoots are usually just stuff that people put on the models..it’s not really their style~ it’s much more fun and inspirational to look at their own stuff~~ I love the pictures~~

I agree with you. I much prefer checking out what the model’s are wearing on their blogs than in magazines. I think it looks much more natural, and in my opinion better, than the put together looks you see in the magazines. Although I do like Ageha, because the majority of the looks in there always seem as though you might see them on the street.

 
February 18, 2010 @ 11:45 am

Hiya Jenny! Thank you for scanning and sharing these pics with us. Seeing what real girls and models on their off days are wearing are always fun! Aw, how sweet of your hubby to take such good care of you. Hope your status changes from “Ok” to “GOOD” soon!!

This is such a refreshing blog to read. It’s so light and fun, do you know what I mean? :3 I’m a work in progress, but I hope I can achieve that sense of style some day. He-he?
