I've always got at least one real-girl style crush going, and right now it's Milan-based model and mother of two Candela Novembre. She's clearly a pro at going head-to-toe bold, and as these pics prove, her wardrobe is a kicky mix of bright, offbeat prints, colorful accessories (retro-inspired bags are definitely her thing), and edgy basics with some sweet, schoolgirl-esque pieces thrown in. Some of her style signatures I'm inspired to integrate into my fashion uniform: a color-block jacket (this Rag & Bone topper is similar to the one in the last pic and is 30% off), a oversize camel coat (I actually just bought this one the other day and anticipating its arrival!), a graphic print top such as this or this, a statement pair of sunnies, low-heeled ankle-strap pumps, and a boxy satchel such as this Zac Posen and this Topshop. (The burgundy bag she's carrying in the picture immediately below and in the last image is by Tory Burch and is sold out everywhere but still available and on sale in another color here.)
