I love the way the three of you talk to each other and support each other.
Hearing you all connect the dots of your style to who you are/your background/favorite shows,etc was so helpful,and it really highlighted the wonderful friendship you guys have built here! I really struggle figuring out my style,but I’m also at a very transitional “idk what I’m doing” phase of life so that is probably a lot of the reason why. Appreciate this podcast so much
I love your dynamics. How you are all genuinely compliment each other and can obviously see how you like each other. This is SUCH a great podcast 🖤
Yall have the exact opposite of mean girl energy!!!!! Love this podcast so much 🩷
Loved the podcast! Great to see you all together. Would love to hear more from Alyssa. She is so quiet.
I was just about to comment the same thing, to ask to hear from Alyssa more! She is so smart, so lovely and has so much to share. Please give her space to speak more ❤🙏🏼 All of you are wonderful, and I love your podcast!
I love hearing your views on what everyone was wearing on your travels. Love people watching for fashion but never though about the typical brit in suit and oxfords It's just the norm so it was fab to here others views on this. Plus what we wear is influenced by where we live in the ways you mentioned like the print, I gravitate to print because a lot of that is around in the shops even though I think other country's fashion (like Italy) looks better and more sophisticate. A fab podcast.
People watching (out and about or on TV) is great way to get inspiration. I've even been known to politely ask what someone is wearing and they are almost always happy to tell me. There's a particular UK news presenter whose style I admire and I once DMd her on Twitter to ask her where she got her dress from and she messaged me right back, which was amazing!
I loved so many of the outfits/looks on The Morning Show - particularly anything worn by Alex Levy (Jen Aniston). Alas, I don't have her budget... 😢
Love your podcast, which I've just recently discovered. Gradually working my way through all the episodes as my daily treat with a cup of tea. 😘 Thank you.
All 3 of you inspire me!❤️🥹
This was the best description of “my 3 words” that I have come across.
I definitely get inspiration from tons of places aside from the internet, but honestly in some places (Arkansas, me, hi) looking to the streets is not the answer 😂. So few people care about fashion and Walmart is huge. Our environment’s best feature is the nature (inspirational in itself of course), the infrastructure leaves much to be desired. Most people are wearing pajamas, church clothes that are outdated by ten years, or work clothes. Certainly tells a story, but rarely inspiring. I almost never come across people that I think are well dressed here, unless it’s the occasional Asian foreign exchange student at our local university. It’s rare unless you know where to look.
Definitely for me with that is to look less for the actual fashion in front of me but to look at the function of my surroundings and to model my style after that. So there’s a fun level of southern practical/agriculture popped into my fashion. With this I can afford to dress classy, but I can also get a lot of fun use out of cowboy hats, hiking fashion, and woodsy natural looks.
But movies, in general areas of higher culture, certainly. I’ve always sought after film for this. Movies and shows are the biggest for me because they’re creating a story that’s more than the clothes, but the clothes help manufacture it.
Buffy reference ftw! One of my favorite inspirations is Lost Boys. I love the leather jackets, the denim, the vintage skirts, etc. with a flair of fantasy.
You could be the inspiration for Arkansas 😀 dressing style
Alyssa saying the other 2 women's shows suit them, Gossip girl is the epitome of dramatic 😂😂. And i can also see Serenas bombshell vibe in Alyssa and her hair as well as the more classic vibe of Balir. Very cool!
You three inspire me! I love all three of your styles (all very different from mine but there are pieces I try), and I love your discussions and your friendship.
It's good to see 3 different styles being explained and dissected to make it easy to understand.
I take inspiration from the 3 and adapt things to my own personal style.
Great content ladies as always
I am surprised that one of Signe’s 3 words isn’t Soft. That is the first thing I see with her colouring and demeanor .She reminds me of actress Saoirse Ronan. I think Dramatic is a perfect modifier for Alyssa. There is something about her that reminds me of Carrie Bradshaw from Sex and the City. And Christina has that corporate edgy thing going on a la Miranda from Sex and the City. Love all you 3 ladies! So nice to see you all together for your podcast ❤
I love the supportive friendship you 3 have - it comes across through the screen :) Great video :)
Funnily enough, I get my inspiration from my childhood self growing up in the 70s. I only have a handful of photos of those years but I remember wearing a lot of straight slim jeans with trucker denim jackets and I still wear classic style denim on denim, I have a gorgeous Levi's denim tote in a darker wash so I've been known to wear triple denim too. In the 70s I also wore striped tops, a red & white gingham blouse, white jeans in the summer, lots of navy and neutral/solid colours with the odd patterned blouse, and without realising it, I have bought very similar pieces for my grown-up wardrobe. My winter outfits were preppy chic, homemade knitted jumpers/zip cardigans, pleated skirts - I didn't like them at the time because I wanted shop-bought clothes like my schoolfriends, but now i see the love that was put into making them by my Italian auntie and grandmother. Finally, corduroy trousers for the cold months and faux fur collars, coats, scarves, etc. My style got a bit lost after that, I've been rediscovering it in my 50s and loving it, it's a modern classic, simple and chic, I think it'll stay with me for the rest of my life xxx
❤ and fancy that! I have been following all of you for years. This is perfect. Thank you and I will eat it up and soak it in. PS- it’s my no buy year. I’m 3 months in.
I recently got my real time inspiration in my closet. I had forgotten I have a pair of silver tone flats from years ago.
I love that Buffy the Vampire Slayer fashion was mentioned! Because a big style inspo for me has always been Willow (the complete opposite of Faith😝)! The whimsy and color of her wardrobe brings me such joy💕 It was so fun to hear all your ladies’ inspiration!
Oh you guys inspire us! Thanks for the lovely talk. I can feel the appreciation you share and there is nothing better than women supporting and holding each other up.
My style inspiration growing up in the 90's was also definitely Wynona Ryder. She was my style icon. Especially, as she was the ultimate indie anti-establishment IT girl. I mean she babysat for Tom Waits kids. So yeah. She's an indie fashion legend, although she was a huge star. This was also a time when people didn't get dressed to be photographed or had stylists.
I would also add 90's Gwyneth Paltrow (short pixie bob years) and Cate Blanchett to style inspo. Then of course the indie music scene in the 90s and early 00s. And the 80's. LOVED that era in terms of music and style.
Otherwise, being out in an urban center on the first few days of spring or summer....then people just look amazing busting out of their winter cave. :)
I love getting inspired by playing with what I have! I can feel the fabric, see the pattern and colors in person and up close, and try out different things in real time.
I can decide if I want to contrast it (sporty meets feminine vintage for example), play into it (an all-over vibe of sporty) or have one piece as the 'star' and the rest of the outfit as the supporting cast. It's the time that I play in my closet where I come up with the best styles - and they are unique to me and what I have! Talk about reciprocal gratitude ❤
That's wonderful, we should all wear our clothes, restyle them, enjoy them, and definitely not save them for special occasions.
Ali McGraw's preppy style in Love Story, Audrey Hepburn's chic black top-to-toe outfits, Twiggy's A-line dresses - they inspired my mother who in turn inspired me. I love Jane Birkin's simple French chic, Kate Moss's and Cindy Crawford's 90s style, but to be honest from the 90s onwards I had a stressful time and did not look after myself. Thanks to some wonderful channels/vloggers on TH-cam, I've rediscovered 70s/90s/Parisian style in the past year or so and making up for lost time. I'm finally blossoming in my 50s and getting lots of approving looks!
Whenever I admire a woman's outfit, she's always wearing something simple and easy to reproduce, for example dark wash bootcut jeans, simple sweater/jumper tucked in and a faux fur coat. It's never the overdressed women in designer clothes. It tends to be women wearing the perfect pair of jeans (for them) and a simple t-shirt or jumper, usually with just one accessory, e.g. a scarf for a pop of colour or a stylish bag, even a fabric tote can look amazing, I bought some wonderful ones from animal rescue centres and one featuring a beautiful artist's bunny drawing from Prufrock Cafe in the UK, only £10 and people often compliment me on it. I do think that being slim helps to look amazing as all the clothes hang well. I am petite and staying slim is essential for me to look good, feel good and for staying healthy of course. Good posture is also important, no hump behind my back and head held high, I smile too to avoid looking old (I have saggy bits at 58 y.o.). I have a lovely collection of scarves, simple belts and structured mid-size handbags. I read somewhere that all most women want, no matter what age or economic/social background, is to look amazing in a t-shirt and a pair of jeans - I agree!
I wish I could get inspiration from the street 😢 I live in the suburbs of Texas, and don’t go into the city often. My inspiration comes from you all, social media and film!
My sister just spent 6 months in Dallas and she couldn't believe how little 'style' people had (and we just live in fairly casual part of Australia). She said she was the only one wearing pretty summer dresses. Everyone else was just wearing plain jeans and a top. Interesting
@@stephallen9819 they’re so basic here 😭😭😭
I love your style and sisterhood you gals are building! I loved the style from sex and the city! I agree with Signe’s description of floating through life! I can’t picture her getting mad in traffic!
Excited for this ladies ❤
Great podcast, thank you.
Do you think style can be inherited? I do that quirky London style and both my parents were British. I didn’t realize that was London style until Alyssa brought it up and I went Ah Ha
Absolutelyyyy loved this podcast! I draw immense inspiration from day-to-day life, travelling on the tube(referred to as "Metro" here in India), i get inspired by people that i get to see daily while travelling to and fro from my office..Also nature is an amazing source of inspiration for me! Keep up the good work ladies!
The way you communicate with each other is so balanced and harmonious. In the future, I would appreciate it if you could capture images of the inspiring looks you mentioned. Having visuals would greatly enhance my understanding and appreciation of your descriptions.
This was my favorite episode! You guys are adorable.
I'm one of those that can't figure out their words so this was helpful for me 😌
☠️ listening to Christina talk about Buffy. I forgot who was talking for a second, Christina or myself lol
I love the idea of diversifying your sources of inspiration ❤ Just get out of home a little more and explore the places you like, and watch and analyse for a bit what people wear in those places is a great tip 😍 I admire Danish style, Italian style and style in modern Ukraine too ❤ that’s why I follow all of you, I think ☺️ My sources of inspiration are often some events I go to, like theaters, movies and concerts; because usually people put a little bit more effort to dress up for these events and I enjoy admiring their outfits very much ❤❤ Thank you for this episode 🤗
That hotel looks magical ❤
You are my inspiration 🥰 and then I shop cloths in London. 👌
Loved this episode! Especially the part where you give compliments to each other and describe each others style! I also get inspired by the things people wear on the streets, artists (like Georgia o Keefe or Louise Bourgeois), my sister and as for TV shows I loved the style in Sex and the City.
I’m traveling to Brussels and Amsterdam next week and I’m going to be paying attention to street style for inspiration thanks to you ladies 😊
I'm from Brussels, born and raised...I hope you weren't too deceived because, well, people dress really bad here. Except maybe for expats or some people in the center.
@@az6462 well the fashion wast eye catching but the people are lovely and the vibe and food excellent! 🍻🍟🍫
This is just the best.
Christina's parents were bikers? This explains a lot about her own edgy cool style lol
heheheh doesn't it?
26:00 vivacious!
Where I live people only wear jeans and hoodies or tees. (Yes even to weddings and funerals) It's hard to get inspo here. There is such a lack of even basic grooming like bathing let alone styling clothes. I've seen a very few people who are styled well and have been inspired to find my own style. However I don't share a style with them, it's just been cool to see someone wearing something that suits them so well and I want to figure out what suits me.
I’m so curious, where do you live?
@@bbappzz98 in a very rural area of the US with high poverty and drug rates.
Thanks for sharing. I am attracked to the style of Signe, casual, simple and put together. I m not that classic, more a naturel casual. And a little bit edge, western influence.
I love the podcast but I long for a sound editor who could remove the “like”s.
I could never find style on the streets of Lexington. At its core it's a college town. It's full of kids in jeans backpacks and sloppy t-shirts. It all looks like they just got of bed and haven't brushed their hair in days.
What if I live in a city where people dress extremely bad ? 😅
I enjoy watching your content in collaboration and individually. One thing to note, watch out for the overuse of "like".
Now I can't go back to not noticing 😂
😂@@DevinaHeriyanto
Hahaha, also "yeah"
Promo SM 🙈
