Which Celebrity is Your Style Icon?

http://www.quizsnack.com/quizzes/21838bd9e6442f1c382886382q173108

Your result: Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift is known for her feminine style: You’ll usually catch her in a-line skirts and dresses, patterned tights, and layered sweaters and jackets. Like Taylor, you enjoy embracing all things girly when you get dressed.

Quiz-Celebrity Style Icon-Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift‘s style is girly and slightly whimsical, and this lace dress is right up her alley. Pair it with a bright red coat for a fun pop of color, and try a pair of vertical striped tights to add in an element of whimsy. A crochet beret, brogue shoes, and a clock necklace add the finishing touches to this Taylor Swift-inspired look.

Couldn't be a better result for me. Love the outfit too, the watch necklace, crochet beret, and red coat especially. When you get yours, it also shows descriptions for other style icons, and they're pretty accurate.

Style Inspiration: Faerie Princess

I've been rereading "The Looks Book" which is designed to help you appreciate your body (although frankly some of the pro-fat, anti-skinny comments annoy me) and figure out what your personal style is. i adore the Ice Queen, Gamine, and Bohemian, but I think the one that suits me even more than those ones is the Faerie Princess- loose waves, ethereal beauty, corset vests, Victorian boots, circlets, pale dewy makeup, and of course, the POINTY EARS!

Some of my new style icons and inspirations:

Cate Blanchett as Galadriel in LOTR
Michelle Pfeiffer as Ladyhawke (LOVE that she doesn't have the stereotypically long locks, cropped and pixie instead!)
The bohemian fairy rocker Stevie Nicks
Ethereally beautiful Tori Amos as the Ingenue, a makeup style based off many a Botticelli painting in Kevyn Aucoin's Making Faces
Tori Amos on a snail. Because what says magical being more than a chiffon-drenched redhead on a snail in a gorgeous forest?
Queen Susan (Anna Popplewell) and Queen Lucy (Georgie Henley) in The Chronicles of Narnia.
Robin Wright as Buttercup in The Princess Bride
Taylor Swift, with her flowing golden curls and girlish love of long sparkly gowns and fairy tales, is a true Fairy Princess.
Exotic singer Leona Lewis is fairly modern and edgy, but she's always very romantic looking.

This is a great look because it's so modest! (Unless you go as "sexy" Princess Aurora or something, in which case, you're doing it wrawng.) So basically, Faerie Princesses just need lace, antique jewelry, shimmery light makeup, loose waves and curls (or short, feathery hair if you love Isabeau's unusual look), and just look as if you'd stepped out of a fairy tale or Botticelli painting.
