Every now and then, a fashionista comes along to truly surprise us. We asked guest editor Erin Lucas to name her ultimate style icon and—forget the usual suspects (Jackie O., Jane Birkin, Audrey Hepburn)—it's not who'd you'd expect. She says, "I love Stevie Nicks to death. Anything flowy and fringy and feathered, she can do no wrong in my eyes."

Didn't see that coming, did ya? So, we played a little game with our new '70s-inspired rocker chick friend. What would you wear for drinks at Stevie Nicks' house? As usual, she didn't hesitate:


"A Dolce & Gabbana bodysuit...because they're just so sex. Then, a sheer maxi dress with some really great, big boots. Like, dirty Fiorentini + Baker boots and the little turquoise vintage necklace I just told you about. This is an outfit I'd have to photograph because it looks really good in my head right now, but it might look terrible on. And maybe a shawl or something on top—I'm picturing something hippie. "

But not so fast! Our own Erin Lucas is truly an editor at heart: She emailed us the next day with a change of plans and a picture of her revised look. She says,

"Had a dream last night I was at Stevie Nicks' house party wearing that sheer outfit I described, and I woke up in a cold sweat. Too naked. Wrong outfit. So I sorted through my folder of 'wardrobe inspiration' shots and found the perfect ensemble for such an occasion...I forgot where I pulled the shot from—probably lookbook.nu? Don't know who makes the dress, but I love it."
