Jamie Beck {Style Icon}

I've been a follower of Jamie Beck's photography blog for a few years now, back when it used to be From Me to You tumblr and is now Ann Street Studio.  I instantly fell in love with her sense of style and her beautiful photographs and cinemagraphs (moving photographs) that she and her photographer husband, Kevin Burg, created.  Her style is vintage-inspired (from the 40's and 50's), chic, glamorous at times, and always timeless.  She's never trendy and instead invests in classic pieces that will be relevant for years to come.  If you were to ask me to pick one style icon to gather inspiration from for the rest of my life- it would hands down be Jamie Beck.  Below are ten reasons why ...

1// She actually looks good sitting on top of a horse, camel, or bike, which is seriously hard to do ...

2// She can pull off a hat better than most anyone...

3// She wears the most perfect red lips on an everyday basis (no seriously, everyday) ...

* The color of red that Jamie wears is NARS Cruella Velvet Matte Lip Pencil

4// She rocks a swimsuit like nobody's business and makes a one-piece suit sexy again!  I love the 1950's vibe of these swimsuits!

5// She often looks better than the celebrities she's photographing on the red carpet.  Let's talk evening wear- she always keeps it classic, glamorous, and timeless ...

6// Anyone can look glamorous in evening wear you say?  Maybe, but she also looks glamorous in her everyday/casual looks.  These looks just reinforce the fact that we should all be investing in quality of pieces over quantity.  I absolutely love the vintage feel of all these outfits ...

7// Her wedding gown- not trendy or flashy, just perfection ...

8// And speaking of her husband- he's some serious arm candy.  These two together are one stylish and talented couple ...

9// She's traveled around the world and never looks jet-lagged (how?!) and always mirrors the style, trends, and culture of the place she's in ...

On the move ...

On safari...

In Paris ...

In Morocco ...

In St. John ...

10// And most importantly- she's an insanely talented, creative, and independent business woman, who does what she loves everyday and takes amazing photographs to share with the world.  I admire this most of all, above the fashion and clothes, and aspire to be a little more like Jamie Beck everyday.  Plus, her best fashion statement is her camera ....
