Alexa.

-
Once again Alexa Chung has ruled the style stakes. Here in her Charlotte Olympia flats and floral dress she is still the icon that everybody loves.
On top of it all, Alexa is now featuring in one of THE best TV shows ever. The firmly fashion based Gossip Girl has a new star. Yes Chung was captured making her debut on the set of the Manhattan based show. And in true Gossip Girl style, the "costumes" if you could refer to them as that, are beautiful.
How is that Alexa can transition between the most girly and feminine of looks to the leather wearing, biker image and never fail to look amazing? Looking back over some of her most amazing outfits, I have become even more jealous than I was even at the beginning of this post!
Rocking ankle grazers, high heels and a black leather jacket, Chung embodies everything that is cool. 
Back in 2011 she had managed to team an Isabel Marant jumper, skinny jeans, french sole shoes and a coat from her own Madewell collection to look nothing less than chic.


Whether it is tailoring,shift dresses, high waisted, skinny, boyfriend, high heeled, flat, tapered, flared or lets face it even a bin bag, Alexa rocks every single thing she wears with the up most confidence and charm.

Once you are over the complete love of Alexa's clothes, you reach your high jealousy of her fantastically disheveled hair. How does such a simple cut, look so good?! She has been through numerous small changes with her hair, her biggest taking the chop from her below the shoulders cut to her short bob. Recently she has been seen with her long hair once again,post highlights and dip dye. 

Finally to un-veal her skin secrets. Nobody really ever comments on Alexas skin or make up, simply because her trade mark eye liner look is always flawless on her equally as flawless skin. Her secret? Pawpaw ointment! The Australian brand makes ointments mainly used for burns or scars, but Alexa also uses it as a moisturiser and face mask. She has been reported as saying she hates beauty buffs favorite Elizabeth Arden 8 hours cream and would choose her Pawpaw anyday. 
But hey it obviously works!




So I assume by now you are equally as jealous of Alexa as I am?
Chung we love you!
xoxo

Seth Cohen was my first love

The last month or so has flown by! As if we are already in July. Terrifying. I've been a bit slow on the blog posts lately, I've sort of felt a lack of inspiration to write about much but something yesterday spurred on my need to write. ALEXA CHUNG IS DESIGNING HER OWN LINE. Yes that is right, our favourite style icon is finally adding to her mark on the fashion world with her own collection.  This got me thinking about how quickly your taste and opinions on everything change. From clothes you like to food you eat. So I thought I would take a look at some of my first favourites I'm talking teenage years by the way this isn't going to be a break down of my first word and hair cut. 1. First TV Addiction - The OC Seth Cohen was my first love. Hands down, his geeky little comments and penguin jumpers were all I needed through the OC. I actually remember it was on every Tuesday night and it was the highlight of the week! Also I mea

Next festive competition

So feelingstylish.co.uk is running a competition for us bloggers to create a Christmas window for Next. All you have to do is simply design your window using next products and submit your entry in a comment on the feelingstylish.co.uk blog. I have done my own entry (I will admit it is hard to create the window and make it look realistic so make sure you explain your concept) My window focuses on a pale colour scheme. It is extremely feminine and not obviously Christmas themed in the way that there is no red or gold to be seen! I chose to use the two glitter Christmas trees as features as they are adorable! I would actually have the fairy lights on the left wrapped through the branches of the trees for a more whimsical feel. I have then chosen two party dresses. Seeing as party season is all about the sparkle I chose to pale pink numbers both embellished beautifully with sequin. They are both quite loose fitting and therefore PERFECT for when you've eaten a bit too

Money vs Style

As I sit here next to my best friend searching Amazon for a cheap pot of OPI muppets collection I can't help but wonder if having more money makes it easier to be more stylish?  Think about it..... Being a student means I am poor 99% of the time apart from my birthday or Christmas. Luckily for me it is my 21st birthday on Sunday and therefore had the luxury of having over 200 pounds to spend on of course clothes! Although I wanted my Mulberry Bayswater for my birthday I was EVEN more over joyed to unwrap my beautiful Michael Kors rose gold watch off my parents. (partly because it is extremely shiny) but mainly because this is the first truly expensive item I have really owned. The first thing I know I will keep for the rest of my life.  So does money make you more stylish? Look at celebrities, they are always the ones captured and photographed for the style pages of magazines, so why not photograph normal people? I know that people are not really interested in those "normal
