STYLE ICONS & LIFE IN...


By Jane Young, Guest Blogger, Cellist.

THE GORGEOUS CELLIST JANE YOUNG TELLS US ABOUT HER STYLE ICONS AND LIFE IN THE FASHION CAPITAL NYC

Tell us about your style?
I'm positive I was born in the wrong era. I'm madly in love with vintage clothing, particularly 1940's & 1950's dresses. I only wear dresses and I'm proud to say I do not own a single pair of jeans, shorts or trousers.

Tell us about what inspires you?
My idol is Grace Kelly. She was a woman of effortless beauty and style, and continues to inspire me every day. The gorgeous city I live in is also highly inspirational, as I am surrounded by talented friends, beautiful architecture, the worlds best museums and a highly competitive cupcake culture that always keeps my days sweet.

Your favourite way to spend a day in your city?
Morning coffee with my best friend at Stumptown, afternoon session in the recording studio, dinner date with my husband at Inoteca, finished with a nightcap on our rooftop.

What inspired your outfit?
There is a gorgeous photo of Grace Kelly boarding a plane in NYC, which I absolutely love. I have always craved her travel attire. You can never go wrong with a classic vintage black belted dress in your wardrobe. It's timeless and beautiful. My dress is enhanced by my Atlantic Pearl Necklace which gives it perfect modern twist.

How do you wear your SAMANTHA WILLS jewels?
I wear my beau beauty ring every time I am in the recording studio, it has become my addiction and I can't live without it. A lady can never go wrong with a gorgeous bow sparkling on her hand. 


Has living in your city influenced your style?
Living in New York City has given me the creative freedom to wear whatever I desire. There are amazing stores and incredible flea markets that have fueled my vintage obsession.

What is your tip for jewels/accessories this season?
As NYC is coming into winter, there is nothing more surprising and glamorous than discovering a SW statement necklace hiding under your winter coat.

The beauty behind SW jewelry is that it translates to every woman's style palette. I wear highly stylized vintage dresses, yet a woman wearing a military coat & jeans could absolutely share my SW jewelry collection. Samantha Wills' designs are a perfect fusion of culture, beauty and creative design. Her artistic vision never ceases to amaze and inspire me.
