I can't say I have a lot of obvious fashion influences. I think I tend to cobble together lots of little ideas from a wide range of resources, whether it's more traditional sources like magazines, TV (mostly Gossip Girl these days, if I'm being completely honest) and people I see on the street, or a little more abstract sources like photography, art, all my traveling, even books.
Which probably explains why my current fashion hero is the adorably unique Eloise, star of the iconic children's book by Kay Thompson and illustrated by Hilary Knight about a funny little girl living in New York's famed Plaza Hotel. She's wildly creative, absolutely quirky, highly imaginative, very opinionated and completely adorable. Not a bad package to aspire to, no? Here are some shots from the book (my well-worn copy of which still lives on the bedside table at my childhood bedroom in Delaware). Plus: Pink pantaloon-style underpants? *Love.*

I, too, am now in love with Eloise and toe shoes...of course you blog, too.
omg. eloise has always been and will always be my all time favorite character/book/series. i have been obsessed with her since i was a very little girl, and am always pleased when other people know of her existance!!!! there seem to be so very few of us that grew up on her!
she is adorable and reminds me of one of my nieces!
man, what would i give to see those pantaloons worked on the runway...
Eloise is the best! Who wouldn't love to have the run of the Plaza (back then)?
