style idol - amy winehouse

By now everybody has heard the tragic news of Amy Winehouse's death and at the moment we don't know the exact cause.  In the meantime, let's not judge Amy by her demons but instead celebrate her soulful vocals and unmistakable style. World renowned for her retro beehive, red lips, and liquid liner that looked like it was drawn on with a Sharpie, it is no news that Amy Winehouse was an incredible artist and also an iconic trendsetter .  The Jewish girl from Camden took 50's flare to a new level.  Often rocking colorful bras busting out of wife-beaters and revealing skanky tattoos on her skinny arms, topping off her wig with a wild hair accessory. What I love the most about Amy is that she wasn't scared to take risks.
