Zooey Deschanel is not just my it girl for July….she’s pretty much my it girl for life. She’s such an intelligent and kindhearted woman…besides being brilliantly talented! If you don’t watch “New Girl”, then you need to watch “New Girl”. This girl works her booty off! Besides her show, she’s also the co-owner (with two of her pals) of the extremely successful website Hello Giggles, she currently has a mod collection with Tommy Hilfiger, an upcoming album, AND many upcoming films!!!
In the new August issue of InStyle, of which she is the cover girl, she talks all about her strong work ethic, which I truly admire!!!

One of the things I love most about her is that she is a feminist. Some people view that as a negative thing, but the way Zooey explains feminism is the way it actually is. So many people like to over exaggerate what feminists are and what they believe in…but to quote Zooey in an interview with Glamour early last year, “I’m just being myself. There is not an ounce of me that believes any of that crap that they say. We can’t be feminine and be feminists and be successful? I want to be a f–king feminist and wear a f–king Peter Pan collar. So f–king what?”. I love how open she is. She sets such a great example for young women, and I hope more and more girls will look up to her in the coming years. She knows what she wants and really goes for it!!! Here’s some more amazing quotes from Zooey:
“I don’t know why femininity should be associated with weakness. Women should be free to express who they are without thinking, ‘I need to act like a man, or I need to tone it down to be successful.’ That’s a very good way to keep women down.”
“You can’t expect to make no effort. You still have to make the effort and be kind and understanding.”
“A lot of people work out to be skinny. That’s so boring, and it seems like a depressing goal for a modern woman.”
Make sure to follow this firecracker on Twitter and Instagram! And seriously, if you haven’t watched “New Girl” yet…get to it!
