Pop Inspiration // Pop Inspiration: Pixie Geldof

Pixie Geldof, sister of Peaches Geldof and daughter of famous parents Bob Geldof and Paula Yates, is a British model and socialite, most known for her ad campaigns with brands like Levi’s and Diesel and more recently her role as singer of her own band, Violet. Pixie got her start when she showed up on the cover of British magazine, Tatler, for the first time in 2008 at the tender age of 17. Her bleach blonde coif that matches her fairy-like name set her apart and she continues to be followed by fashion bloggers and the tabloids. Everyone wants to know what Pixie is wearing, who she is dating and what she will do next! We love Pixie for her totally unique take on style. She is the perfect blend of the soul of Warhol star Edie Sedgwick mixed with classic British undertones. We’ve showed you how to get two of her rock ‘n’ roll looks below and be sure to check out Violet’s first music video for their new single “I Come Undone” for an extra dose of Pixie!

Pixie can often be found strolling the streets so we thought she would be the perfect muse for a mid-afternoon lunch outfit. Pixie’s casual rocker look appears effortless and will ensure you look like you managed to roll out of bed and still put together the perfect outfit. To get this look, we recommend finding an oversized long sleeve stripe tee like this one from J.Crew to balance the short hem of the black mini skirt.

Pixie is known for her red carpet rock ‘n’ roll style and while she dresses up slightly for a night out she still maintains her edge. We love the way she mixes feminine fabrics with bold black accessories. To emulate Pixie’s party attire, pair a simple tank like the one shown below from Old Navy with a flowy mini skirt from Topshop.
