Ok, so typically my style inspirations and girl crushes have one thing in common-slightly grungy/tomboyish/quirky looks a la Alexa Chung, Erin Wasson and Taylor Momsen. But I have recently found myself going green with envy over the perfect features, glossy hair and luxe-bohemian glamour of the model Rosie-Huntingdon Whitely. Of course having such a grandiloquently long and aristocratic sounding name does help create an aura of self-importance and grandeur but just one look at the sharp cheekbones and jaw-line and pouty lips and OMG let's not forget her enviably slim and toned body (who else could have the honour of being crowned the first British Victoria's Secret model?) and you could be forgiven for instantly loving this girl.
But, yes, despite her stunning looks and killer body Rosie also has great style. If you check out her blog on Vogue.com, 'What I'm Wearing', you can see that her daily look is all high-impact luxe glamour with furs, Missoni stripes, J-Brand jeans and Isabel Marant boots. Rosie's red carpet appearance also show off her penchant for vintage finds, high-street buys and beautiful draped Grecian style goddess gowns.
Wearing a Topshop sequined trophy jacket and a vintage dress, looking FABULOUS.
The Louis Vuitton drawstring 'pochette' bag as I like to call it (or as my housemate Sam prefers-'papoose', no idea why but it's far more entertaining than a traditional bag label)
Working a cut-out Mark Fast design long before the rest of the Fashion pack cottoned on to the genius of his sexy knitwear.
I also love that despite her sex icon status Rosie remains modest about her appearance and promotes edgy, rather than stereotypically 'pretty', beauty: "Prettiness is the enemy of beauty- it cancels out beauty's greatness, grandeur and presence"
