TRY. checking out "it girl" alexa chung.

i have just recently noticed british model and tv star alexa chung while reading through some of my magazines and i have fallen in love with her style. she mixes girly pieces with a sort of boyish grunge and rocker look. her style is very casual and creative. and one thing i love about her is with almost every outfit i see her wear she has piled on necklaces. and since i love to pile on jewelry where-ever i possibly can...it's nice to know someone else has the same problem. here is a collection of some of my recent favorite outfits of hers. she is so cute!

i am gladiator.

TRY. adding a heel.

gladiator sandals have been my obsession for the past two summers now. they come in so many different styles and make any outfit look more unique than they would with a boring pair of flip flops. but recently the gladiators have branched out a little bit more by adding a heel. the platform gladiator sandals are everywhere this summer and i am obsessed. they are stylish and can be dressed up or casual. 

these jimmy choo gladiator heels which go for around $800 would have been the ultimate heels to purchase...but these gorgeous and ultra comfortable michael kors heels had to do :)

vanessa hudgens also shows a great example of the gladiator wedges..which i love too! 

my next shoe purchase?

fringe sandals!

raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens.

TRY. being an artist with your style.

i decided to make my own personal lookbook of a few of my favorite outfits i have put together recently for summer and to enjoy a few of my favorite things that inspire me...other than raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens of course :) enjoy.

viva la vida.

"i believe in music the way some 

people believe in fairy tales."

real men wear skinny jeans.

TRY.

v-neck white tee-check.

vans/converse/toms-check.

skinny jeans-check.

ray-bans-check.

these style conscious guys otherwise known as "hipsters" are commonly seen at indie concerts, are obsessed with anything produced by apple and have a style thats a mix between a hippie and a rocker.

other than loving god, having a sense of humor, and playing the guitar...this is another trait i want my future guy to have. i am so attracted to guys who can throw on a white v neck, skinny jeans and some vans and look stylish without even trying hard.
