A STRONG & FASHIONABLE WOMAN: GIOVANNA BATTAGLIA

Giovanna Battaglia: Italian, fashionable, gorgeous, chic, elegant, phenomenal hair whether curly or straight, dressed head to toe in designer pieces...basically all in all the woman I aspire to be, if only I could be transformed into the Fashion Editor of L'Uomo Vogue & a former Dolce & Gabbana model... Well until then I will seek inspiration from her impeccable ensembles.

Above are only a few of Giovanna's looks that I admire daily when styling myself (aka getting dressed every morning) but I wanted to focus solely on the photos of 'Gio' taken by another one of my girl crushes, Garance Dore.  If you have not checked out her fashion illustration/street photography blog do so now...absolutely breathtaking!  The Parisian datesScott Shuman aka The Sartorialist, another favorite street style blogger of mine.

How to channel 'Gio':

Option one=menswear trouser+cozy sweater or tee+statement heels

Option two=girly skirt (pencil, flared & flirty, A-line)+feminine blouse embellished with bows, lace, ruffles+textured tights+booties or statement heels

**add do not fret even Gio repeatedly wears her favorite pieces, she just reworks them to create consistently beautiful looks**

For a final 'Gio' touch add a hodge podge, if you will, of accessories ranging from layered watches, long strands of necklaces & a signature ring....
