Got to show off the gams!  

What or who inspires you?  Why?

Well different people inspire me in different ways, but specifically on a fashion front, my godmother (Aunt Bea) is a big inspiration.  She has such a style that is all her own & is fearless.

What or who is your style icon?  Why?

I love the fashion sense of ladies like Camille Bidault Waddington, Francoise Hardy, Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourgh.  Their style just seems so effortless & natural.

Whatever you choose to do or be in life, be truly moved by it.  

The wonderful owner of B&B has been so integral in helping us style shoots for our blog www.apleasuryof.blogspot.com.  This particular picture is taken from our New Year’s Eve photo shoot that Tara helped style.  Every piece is from Black & Bold.  This shoot solidified & reinvigorated my interest in fashion & community.  
Thank you for the inspiration Tara!
