Fancy Finery from ASOS and Celebrity Style Quotes

Celebrity-inspired looks start here, and so does our week. Check out these gorgeous pieces from ASOS while reading through some truly inspirational style quotes from the masters.

(Uma Jane Dress)

COCO CHANEL: "I don't understand how a woman can leave the house without fixing herself up a little - if only out of politeness. And then, you never know, maybe that's the day she has a date with destiny. And it's best to be as pretty as possible for destiny."

"Luxury must be comfortable, otherwise it is not luxury."

(Collar Dress)

Manolo Blahnik: "About half my designs are controlled fantasy, 15 percent are total madness and the rest are bread-and-butter designs."

Bruce Oldfield, The Independent: "Fashion is more usually a gentle progression of revisited ideas."

Yves Saint Laurent: "A good model can advance fashion by ten years."

(Embroidered Belt Detail Dress)

Oscar Wilde: "Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months."

John Fairchild: "'Style' is an expression of individualism mixed with charisma. Fashion is something that comes after style."

(Nikka Rooster Silk Print)

Elsa Schiaparelli: "Fashion is born by small facts, trends, or even politics, never by trying to make little pleats and furbelows, by trinkets, by clothes easy to copy, or by the shortening or lengthening of a skirt."

(Zebra Low V-Neck Dress)

Karl Lagerfeld: "Sunglasses are like eyeshadow. They make everything look younger and prettier."

"You can not take yourself too seriously."

"Fashion designers are dictators of taste."

"Coming out after a show is good discipline for me because I have to watch out that I don't look like an old garden gnome next to all these 20-year-old models."

"I hate the word 'cheap'. People are cheap. Clothing is either expensive or inexpensive."

(Gold Disc V-Neck)

Let's have a stylish start to the week, shall we? I'm already inspired for style greatness, and on a Monday, no less. . . this is something to be relished!
