Piksi Style

Sometimes you come across someone in your daily life who epitomizes your ideals of what it means to live with style and poise.  Piksi on Flickr is such a person to me.  I hope that she won't be terribly uncomfortable to discover my praise of her here today, but I can't help but go a little bit gaga for her talent of pulling together the most exquisite outfits with a seemingly effortless knack (I also love how she notes sources for every look).

I love the pieces that Piksi chooses... each with a playful nod to bygone eras without ever looking costumey or contrived.  She also accessories her looks flawlessly!  Look at her shoes!!!

I hope that you find as much inspiration through Piksi as I do.  She proves that you can be smart and look pretty too (she's studying to become a veterinarian).  No matter who you are, what job you have, or whether you have an expendable income or not.... there's always room to add some style into your life.

Wow...Absolutely gorgeous and you are spot on about her ability to "nod to a bygone era" but not look contrived. She is beautiful and her style is completely inspirational. Off to check out her flickr set...and her hair, how does she do that?xoMelis

Oh my gosh. I think I am in love too. I just added her as a contact in my Flickr stream so I can continue to be inspired. Her look is exactly what I envision for myself but can't seem to pull off.

Oh my gosh. She is so cute. I love the outfits she comes up with! I'm feeling the need to dress cute today now.

[Betsy Dunlap]

Oooh! I totally agree! Gorgeous.

[Summer]

She is easily one of my top fashion icons. She throws things together so well and always manages to look unique and glamorous.

What inspiring images! She is absolutely beautiful and so stylish! Wonderful Post!

[Kathryn]

How incredible - I wish I had the style and confidence to pull of such a unique and authentic look every day!

[Making it Lovely]

Swoon! I love her style!

[Kelly]

So, I'm pretty much completely in love with her at this point.

[Miss B.]

Now this is an amazing find! Thank you so much...Piksi is a swell name as well:)

[Angela]

What AMAZING style! And not once does she look like she knocked off some magazine ensemble.

So inspiring.

[Desiree Fawn]

Pretty, pretty ^_^

[Sal]

Holy moly, you're so right. She has her style completely nailed. And what a style it is!

[staceys]

Just adorable! so stylish.

[Jackie]

Thanks for the introduction to this lovely lady. Lots of wardrobe inspiration (though I probably wouldn't be able to pull it off like she can). Off to add a bunch of her pics to my flickr faves!

Piksi is my absolute fav!! Her looks are flawless, as you said, but what I can't get over is how organic her style is, not organic as in cotton and recycled (though, I guess I should take that back seeing as a good bit of it is vintage!!), but rather that she goes to the source, finds these amazing finds as if they just fell out of the sky, and rather than a reproduction it is all so truly unique and dead proper!!She makes me jealous! But that is of course a compliment - wish I had her knack for all things fashion - not to mention poise and confidence!!Love that you profiled her - she DESERVES IT!!Cheers

What fabulous style! I love how original she is and her whimsical combinations -- and without an ounce of seasonal "trends," which in itself, is quite an ironic concept.

[Courtney]

I love all the photos here! I checked out her flickr stream and fell for even more there. She has the most gorgeous outfits that are completely inspiring. Thanks for the introduction to this stylish woman!

[Design Lovely]

She is so adorable! Love her style.

[Amy]

My God in heaven. That is just... wow.

Look at that skin tone. Porcelain. And her hair!

[Kathy]

Wow. Thanks for clueing us all in to this wonderfully stylish lady. I find her style so inspiring!

Though I won't look even one-quarter as good as she does, I'm so tempted to go thrifting tomorrow!

[joanna goddard]
