Attention fashion lovers: It's that time again. Vanity Fair has named March's Best-Dressed Challenge winner. Tracie Howard, an Atlanta-based author, is taking this month's chic title, and we've got all the scoop on her style inspirations, favorite trends and more.

Tracie described her style as "classic bohemian-chic basics with a flair" when E! News visited her home. And we were feeling her look just as much as VF's readers were—she loves pairing leather and lace? Can't be mad at that! Crediting Audrey Hepburn, Kate Moss and Jay-Z among her fashion inspirations? Girl after our own heart!

Submit photos of yourself via Twitter, Instagram or Trendabl using the hashtag #vfbestdressed. Or hit up VF.com and submit your pic directly on the site.
