From one Oxy grad to another, CONGRATS! I'm so excited for the book! Ever since your post on Caroline de Maigret, I've been so in love with her easy, chic vibe.

Katharine Hepburn and Jane (from tarzan) are my tomboy icons.
Sofia coppola, Charlotte gainsbourg, Gaia repossi... Can't choose one!!
Well! I gotta say the Freedom Riders of the 1960's are Iconic. Women standing-up for Peace?...hell yea!!! .... oh! and Cat Power, too.
Wow, favorite icon...Abigail Adams? Cate Blanchett maybe?
Hey! Congratulations on the book, cannot wait to see it :) Not on fb so followed your Twitter. My icon - charlotte g. Thanks :) xJ
It must be so exciting! Congratulations!
My icon is Charlotte Gainsbourg. She's just it. :)
My 8year old self is my favorite Tomboy style icon. Grew up in Long Beach, Ca and sported STUBBIES corduroy shorts, Vans slip ons in white that tied on top of my foot like a boat shoe, and various hand me down tshirts and polos from my older brother. To this day I think I am trying to re capture the freedom I felt in the 3rd grade!
Love your blog. I read it religiously.
That 3rd grader is me.
many to choose from, but Emmanuelle Alt and Sofia Coppola definantly at the top of the list for their incredibly chic and clean look.
My favourite tomboy style icon is Patti Smith.
i only just saw this in google reader...alas! but i love chan marshall, sofia coppola, & charlotte gainsbourg (and her mum) and eons more. + all the new faces i learn about on tomboy style.
Minnie Cushing is my fabulous style icon. "The Jock" archetype is so effortless, so real, and so me. What I love about every girl with cool style and a cool vibe (and something I try to embrace in myself!) is an ability to embody ALL of the archetypes, and still stay true to yourself.
Love your blog! And congrats on your book!
For me Jacqueline Kennedy is the ultimate style icon. Regards from a male reader in Denmark, Kristoffer
Hello, would love to win the signed book! My #1 tomboy style icon is Jean Seberg.
My favorite tomboy style icon is young me, as well. Sometimes childhood style is the purest style.
Congratulations for your book. I would love to win one. I wish I had Birkin or Charlotte Gainsbourgh's laidback elegance.
The most interesting and inspiring tomboy icons for me are the anonymous individuals one notices in passing. Being inspired by an ensemble or a piece worn by an unknown person brings an element of freedom and beauty you could not discover in one individual. (Congratulations on your book!)
Meryl Streep in Out of Africa! Safari chic at its best!
This is so exciting!
I would love a copy of tomboy style!
My favorite Tomboy Style icon is CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG and Audrey Hepburn.
Thank you.
CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG! I'm very excited for the book -- whether I win or not, I'm getting a copy!
My style icon would be Jean Seberg!! I love your blog and the book looks awesome! :)
Since I first saw Charlotte Gainbourg in Science of Sleep I've been in love with her. So she is my favourite tomboy style icon. Can't wait to read the book. :)
My Tomboy Style icon is Stine Bauer or Naomi Simms!
I'm so excited about your book! It's hard to pick an icon, but I'm loving the unique style of Marina Munoz.
my fav Tomboy Style Icon is Nico, definetely:
http://tomboystyle.blogspot.pt/2012/02/icon-nico.html

Patti Smith! Kim Gordon! Myself in 1984!
I love this blog and would be thrilled to have a copy of the book! My favorite tomboy icon is Katherine Hepburn!
I love this blog and can't wait to see the book - and mark it up and dog ear it with all my notes! And for my style icon, Charlotte Gainsbourg, in a heartbeat. She's the reason why I never stopped wearing keds.
I would love an advance copy and I am really excited to see the book ! I think the 'tomboy' I first related to was Jodie Foster. Did she make the book ?
Pat
pvs@dmv.com

How exciting! I've been following you on Twitter for awhile.
Thanks so much for all of your work on the blog and the book. I'm excited to see it! I am inspired by so many ladies, but I really like Sofia Coppola and Anjelica Houston. I also like Katherine Hepburn and Diane Keaton. It's hard to pick just one, or two for that matter. :)

Congratulations on the launch! I always love old photos of Tina Weymouth - so cool and easy going.
Can't wait to get my paws on this book! My fav icon is Charlotte Gainsbourg!
I adore Charlotte Gainsbourg and her quiet beauty. I'm a big fan of your blog!
I can't decide on a favorite! I love Charlotte Gainsbourg, Anna Karina, Brigitte Bardot... the list goes on!
Katharine Hepburn... no one could rock a sweet pair of high-waisty slacks like her. Can't wait to browse the new book!
Francoise Hardy, of course!
The #1 tomboy must, hands down, be Betty Catroux.....she is about 60 and still she dresses like, yeah, like what age? when you are a tomboy you don´t have an age, just an style and a way of living.
Love the fact that you did an entire book about and for us!
I'm going with Bev Johnson. I had never heard of her before your blog, and am so impressed by her independence and courage, and thankful she opened the door for women in the climbing world. AWESOME!
Françoise Hardy and Bardot are tied in my book.
I can't wait for this book! It's also terribly hard to chose one favorite icon, but I think Stine Bauer epitomizes tomboy style.
My favourite tomboy style icons are Noriega foster and Charlotte gaindsbourg. They're both very cool people who are really influential andniconic.
I can't wait to see the book! Diane Keaton would be my choice!
Diane Keaton is my style icon! And I can't wait for this book, it would be perfect for my coffee table :)
diane keaton or katharine hepburn - no doubt. i could never put a finger on - or fully describe - the kind of style i adored ----- until i saw your blog. thank you.
Congratulations on the book, it looks wonderful. I love Charlotte Gainsbourg, she just oozes Tomboy Style.
I like the profiles of various Southern California skater/surfers...but for my own style look to Carey Mulligan and Kate Hepburn.
I have been obsessed with Diane Keating’s style since I first saw Father of the bride all those years ago. Can't wait to read the book whether or not I win it :)
Have to go with Meryl Streep as Karen Blixen in Out of Africa. I think this was my original style a-ha moment!
It's difficult to select one favorite icon, but I do love Françoise Hardy! Congratulations on the launch, Lizzie!
I follow you on Twitter now!
Hmm favorite Tomboy? Those kick ass surfers can rock it- they're probably on the top of my list
I hope I am not too late ! I cant wait for the book! Its definetly going to be something different ! I use to feel shy and not be comfortable trying to someone else while I was just a tomboy, a rebel but Thank you for making me feel comfortable in my own skin ! I am proud to be a tomboy. My icon is Patti Smith.:)
Congratulations on the book! I have been following your blog for forever and am so happy for you! My favorite tomboy style icons have always been Nico and Diane Keating.
Katherine Hepburn, definitely.
Cheers on your upcoming release!
My style icon is the time my mother surprised us all and dove with admirable athleticism off a motorboat. Came up smiling like a tomboy. That smile is iconic to me.
Also: Sarah Polley, the chick from Crazy Stranger, and all girls who hold their own in bars.
Patti Smith with a bullet.
my tomboy icon is Romy Schneider! I really like your blog. I wish the greatest success to your book!
Annie Oakley!
So tough to pick just one tomboy style icon!
I love Cat Power and her relaxed confidence and beauty.

my tomboy icons are charlotte gainsbourg, sofia coppola & the young diane keaton. can't wait to get my hands on your book~whether i win, or purchase! thank you!
I can't wait to get my hands on the book. I loved the movies from the 80s where girls would pretend to be boys like the Journey of Natty Gann and The Man From Snowy River...but I think Kim Gordon takes the cake for my style icon.
So many Icons to choose from! I'd have to say my faves are the Freedom Riders or Brigitte Bardot! xxo Jane
NICO or JEAN SEBERG
crossing my fingers, tara-lynn
goodnightdayshop@hotmail.com

My Tomboy icon Osa Johnson - her life, her adventures, her amazing hats!
Yay for the book! My all-time favorite tomboy style icon is Katharine Hepburn, hands down. My love runs so deep, I went as her for Halloween in 4th grade! Unfortunately no one knew who I was.
Congratulations on the upcoming launch! I'm so excited to see the finished product! I realized I wasn't following on twitter yet (um, what?) so that's handled. My current favorite tomboy style icon is Caroline de Maigret - I fell in love with her style the second I saw her feature in the Madewell catalog awhile back and I was so excited to see her featured here on Tomboy Style, too!
Charlotte Gainsbourg, she has a rock chick edge that I love. Good luck with the book :)
Awesome! I like Tomboy Style on fb (Aimee Gee). I love Jenna Lyons tomboy (with lipstick on) style.
Katherine Hepburn, always.
Katharine Hepburn, forever and always.
liked on fb! Charlotte Gainsbourg as my icon for sure. :)
So fun! I think Sofia Coppola or Charlotte Gainesbourg. I already preordered your book but I'll definitely take a signed copy, too. :)
Françoise Hardy of course !
Words + style = such a great combination. My favorite style icon would be an Ali McGraw-Sofia Coopola smashup, but if you force me to choose just one, it's Sofia.
Slim Keith! REALLY hard to pick just one - I agree! I am a huge fan of your blog, it is definitely a daily read. Great to see someone speaking to tomboy style in a cool, sexy, classic way. Every post inspires me!
I can't wait for this book! Congratulations.
I don't know if you have featured her before, but one of my tomboy style icons is Kim of Matt and Kim. Seriously, check out this pic she just posted on facebook!
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=194485677255863&set=a.194485623922535.38287.162606153777149&type=3&permPage=1
Jenna Lyons! I've tried to emulate her personal style (in a budget friendly way) for ages now!!
If I ever attended my own red carpet/celebrity/charity event, I'd copy the look pf La Swinton herself. No one rocks an amazing suit quite like Tilda Swinton. She's badass.
Can't wait to read the book and show all the girls at work. We need more tomboy influence at Anthro!!
Katharine Hepburn. The ultimate cool.
My favorite icon is definitely Françoise Hardy. So chic and cool.
I'm following you on twitter! You're an inspiration - can't wait for the book to be available!
Patti Smith. Always.

I follow your blog daily. I live in a remote mountain village in British Columbia and I enjoy the daily inspiration I get from your blog. The women I look up to are Jane Birkin, Charlotte Gainsbourg and while the not famous at all, I look up to my mother. I am always looking at old photo albums of her effortless style and beauty; She could make her homemade green shorts, plain white t-shirt and flip-flops into the most fashionable outfit around. Would love to have a copy of your book.
I don't have a facebook or twitter account, but I thought I'd leave a comment anyway in hopes I would somehow still be a lucky winner. Either way....love the blog..and cheers to you for making the book ;)
EmmyLou Harris!

Charlotte Gainsbourg. oxfords & black skinny jeans all day every day.
My favorite Tomboy Style icon is Audrey Hepburn in her skinny black pants, flats, and easy pixie cut.
Chloe Sevigny. And Jean Seberg. And girls like me who dress like French Sailors 90% of the time.
Chloe Sevigny. And Jean Seberg. And girls like me who dress like French Sailors 90% of the time.
Charlotte Gainsbourg and Janelle Monae!
Ooooh! Yes please :). And I'd have to say I have a soft spot for Monae's style.
[email: heather@espanaphotography.com]
Peggy Oki, hands down. She can hang with the boys and brings their style to her own level. Anything they can do, she can do as well if not better. And it's seamless and effortless.
I am so excited for this book. Brigette Bardot is my fave icon :)
I follow you on Twitter.
