Influence

I just adore how the people of France dress. It seems that
they dress simply yet everything looks beautiful. The French
have influenced me to try and simplify my wardrobe, yet at
the same time to not loose my style. French people
just have a certain j'ne se quoi, no?
One of my favourite books is The Little Prince. It is
such a sweet story and has a beautiful message. The
book has influenced me on so many levels, it makes
me want to be a better person.

I am dying, absolutely dying to see the film 500 Days of Summer which
stars Zooey Deschanel. First off I adore Zooey Deschanel, secondly
the film looks so quirky and wonderful, and third I love the
clothes which Summer wears in the movie (Zooey's style
is pretty amazing too). Besides, I think her name is so
neat, Zooey, doesn't it have a nice ring to it?


"Influence is the most natural and necessary thing. it is one thing to replicate-
that is the most unnecessary thing. But to be influenced by something in such
a way that you are no longer the same person you were until you saw it is, well
that's what it's all about, no?"
~Subodh Gupta~

So these are just a few of the many things which I have been influenced by lately. I really love the quote which I discovered when reading Pop Magazine (the one with Tavi on the cover) since it aptly discribes my thoughts on the idea of influence.
