As much as I like to think I've developed my own signature sense of style and try to refrain from directly copying others, isn't our personal style really just a combination of our influences?

I developed a serious girl crush on this woman years ago after reading a feature on her in Vogue and ever since I've held such admiration for her career, her fashion choices and her beautiful homes.
