I have no problem with people taking things that are mine because it simply let's me know that you're feelin' my interests. For instance clothing. Once a girl wears a certain underground clothing line, everryyyybodyy wants to get it. When that kinda stuff happens, it just makes me wanna find other things that people can't hype up. Inspiration is bound to happen. Taking other people people's ideas is kind of a good thing. If people didn't find someone to look up to, the world would honestly be a mess. Simple enough. It's more like a motovation to chase after somethin' else I got in mind. So do what you gotta do. Basically, everyone's a trendsetter, whatever you wanna call it. It's just really over-rated.

"a woman who appeals to her audience with genuine swag. She is a self-governing revolutionary who embodies all that is sexy. She proclaims her opinion and attitude through adventurous dress. She is educated by books as well as the streets. "
My biggest inspirations would be Olivia Lo AKA "Wild Cat". People really didn't know anything about her until I put a picture of her on my myspace page. She is one of the many Hellz Bellz models whos style I really look up to. She has modeled for "Miss Wax" as well. My second inspiration would be Nida Elizabeth. She is another model who collabs with Nastygal Vintage. These two vogue models are the true definiton of being fashion-forward.
Some people are very mistakened about their "own" originality. They take someone else's, and make it as if they made it up. People who have the tendencies to copy and paste things from others to me is called "being inspired"
