November Inspiration

Well, fancy meeting you here! It has been quite some time since I have posted and I apologize for the hiatus! Between traveling, weddings and working two jobs, the Summer and most of Fall has slipped away from me. But...along with the colder temperatures, I am finding myself wanting to curl up on the couch and spend some quality time with my Mac! 

Now down to business. I have been absolutely loving the poncho/cape trend that is blowing up right now. This Fall has brought on a play with proportions and I adore the look of an over-sized top with some skinnies and statement booties. Being from Minnesota and surviving frigid temps along with ridiculous amounts of snow while attempting to be fashionable is usually difficult, not anymore. What an idea: clothing that is stylish and practical! I'm now on the hunt to find anything oversized that may or may not resemble a blanket...

Here are my fav's, ranging from ladylike to blanky-like:

Style Profile: Blake Lively

Whether she is filming for Gossip Girl, attending a red carpet event or grabbing a cup of coffee, Blake Lively always stands out with her impeccable style. I love her ability to mix classic pieces with trendier items and make it work. She can pull of literally ANY color - pink  and neon blue trousers? Blake is not afraid to play with trends and pulls it off with class. She has most recently been announced as the new face of Chanel, which is very fitting since she has worn their pieces so often in the past. It is clear that playing Serena Van Der Woodsen has impacted Blake's style so much that, at times, it is difficult to know if she is filming or not. This isn't a bad thing - I wouldn't mind raiding both of their closets!

What are your thoughts on Blake and her classic, girly style?

Style Profile: Sienna Miller

 

After deciding that I wanted to do a post on Sienna Miller, I almost couldn't stop editing and adding pictures. This girl really knows how to mix it up and inspire with her vintage/boho style. Although I have not been much of a fan of her work, I am completely obsessed with Sienna Miller's style. She literally makes the hippie chic trend all her own and I think she has been a big reason why it has become so popular in recent years. Sienna always looks comfortable and confident while being a free spirit and having fun with her style. She tends to emphasize her style with statement accessories and mixing her favorite pieces unconventionally. I am definitely going to take some pointers and try being a little more spontaneous with my own fashion sense. I mean, it's just clothes, right?

Style Profile: Alexa Chung

To say Alexa Chung has brought back the androgynous look is an understatement. A self proclaimed tomboy, Alexa is constantly styling her looks with tailored menswear and adding a vintage-feminine appeal all at the same time. This ultra cool British It-girl has such a playful take on fashion and always seems to be having fun with what she wears. Not only can she mix high with low (Topshop with Chanel?!) but she always looks comfortable doing it. Although not exactly my taste at times, I can appreciate Alexa Chung's unique style and am definitely in love with her taste in accessories....case in point: leopard print handbags.
