Look to the stars for style inspiration

We've made it through the first week of the new year and, hopefully, most of us are following through with our 2017 resolutions. Though I didn't make any life-changing resolutions this year, thoughts of making a few subtle changes are always on my agenda and my style is not far from that list.

From social media to your favorite style magazines and television, there's not a shortage of style inspiration. Whether it be the real or fictional character, we all aspire to have a certain lifestyle and/or image to some degree. Here are a few of my favorite style stars of the moment that I think have a great look and image in 2017 and why:

Olivia Palermo: She is a socialite and a star of the 2009 reality show "The Hills." I've admired Palermo's style because she exudes a young elegance that's effortless yet high fashion. From her embellished jackets to her tennis shoes paired with leather pants and furry sweaters, she's the best at mixing and matching.

June Ambrose: She has daring hats. When you think of hats, you might think of Pharrell or Lady Gaga, but for me, it’s June. This celebrity stylist and fashion designer is so fun and has an eclectic mix of daring styles and whimsical hats to match. Her sense of humor and love for dancing on Instagram isn’t bad either.

Aurora James: Because she brings out the bohemian mama in you. Her style represents a warm, free spirit of casual cool with a touch of glam. The Brother Vellies creative director is popular for her unique handbags and shoes. Her home and closet are described as a "Pinterest board come to life," described by Coveteur online where her dresses hang from real branches installed in her bedroom. She's known for handcrafted shoes from South Africa, Ethiopia, Kenya and Morocco and her unique uses of fur on her footwear designs are amazing.
