"I draw inspiration not from direct sources such as "style icons" but from different eras, mentalities, and ways of life." Linsey Ballas

Style for Linsey is like living in her own book. It seems as though anything and everything, consciously and unconsciously, becomes a new sentence or paragraph in her wardrobe and then like a chameleon, her experiences continuously manifest into something unique. “A childhood heirloom on my wrist, one of my grandmother’s scarves, a shirt that I have stolen from my father’s closet….I layer the pieces of different generations.” Linsey doesn’t miss a reference if it’s worth it from her love of blazers found at boarding school, to her Jan Brady dress and of course, hard-to-find Lolita sunglasses. She creates a “dialogue” between the pieces which is not meant to be ironic, but playful. Killer for me is her classic menswear oversized blazer with the most provocative of YSL pumps and the legs that go on forever.

    Love her style and her passion for clothes shines through in how she talks about them. My favorite look was the oversized blazer worn as a dress. I agree with her- it’s classic but really makes a statement. I need to go out and get some oversized vintage blazers now! -Mel

    Realize that I am from the 1930′s as I say this, shut up, woman. But man, is she sexy.

  • THE POST

    Mr. Highpantsberg,
    Well, I have not referenced anything from the 1930′s per se. It is safe to assume you are referring to my love of the 1920′s. However, as I have explained, it is the spirit of the age- the frivolity, folly, disillusion and delirium that inspires me, not the “look.” Maybe your high riding pants have caused you to be crankier than usual. xo
