I discovered Kate Lanphear through the streetstyle blog Jak & Jil, and Taylor Tomasi through the blog Rackk and Ruin. I became amorously in awe of their unique and daring (therefore refreshing) style. As I flipped through the pictures, I couldn't help but draw parallels between these two women.
First of all, they are both style editors of two American fashion magazines that I don't really read: Elle (Kate) and Marie Claire (Taylor).

Second of all, the hair, oh the hair! Kate with her "Gwyneth Paltrow-dating-Brad Pitt-while-having-matching-hair-era." Except, let's face it, her hair resembles Brad Pitt's more than it does Gwyneth's in this epoch. Add the platinum blond and a little more edge, and she looks quite badass.

Then we have Taylor with her vibrant, red hair that looks so good it makes me consider dying my hair red.

Third of all, they have a strong flair of feminine-punk in their style, and they both incorporate a lot of black into their get-ups.
Fourth of all, Kate and Taylor are fans of showy, gaudy and highly accessorized wrists.
I must point out that I believe Kate is a fan (as am I) of Eddie Borgo, the jewelry designer that I have already mentioned in one of my blog posts. I believe she is wearing this bracelet from his collection:
And, although it's difficult to ascertain in this photo above, I believe she is wearing another piece from his Fall 2009 collection:
