Below are two of my style icons whom I look to for inspiration and fashion ideas. I've included four of my favourite outfits from each of them and written something short about what I love and why. This is only part one, so keep your eyes peeled for part two!
Alexa Chung
Alexa Chung is, without a doubt, an 'it' girl. She's a model, a writer/blogger, a style icon and a British socialite. I mean, this girl has everything! She can pull-off practically any look she goes for, whether it's preppy or grunge or girly and she really knows how to make her clothes work for her.
I will always love how good Peter Pan collars look on Alexa. They have the ability to make or break an outfit, and in this case, the collar has completely made it! The grey jumper makes the outfit look slightly preppy, but the feminine detailing on the skirt keeps it looking chic.
One of my favourite items in this outfit is Alexa's yellow coat. It's a statement piece that doesn't exactly scream at you, but rather just says 'hey, look at me. I really know how to pick coats well'. It also adds a 'pop' of colour to the otherwise plain outfit and well, it also does what a good coat is supposed to do, keep you warm.
This outfit is simple and classy and that's what I like about it. There isn't too much going on, which I think also adds to the charm. I love how the denim jacket looks with her black skinny jeans and plain white top. I'm a sucker for denim jackets. They match anything and are quite literally a saviour when it comes to my wardrobe.
This is by far one of my absolute favourite outfits. I love how she's tied the flannel shirt around her waist instead of wearing it normally. I've noticed a lot of people have been doing it lately, especially me. I think it adds more interest to the outfit and gives the whole look a grungier, more laid back vibe. I'm also loving the red lippy. Let's be honest, who doesn't love a good red lipstick? It makes you look fierce and ready to kill a man whilst also making you look sophisticated and smart and that's just what I need.
Miranda Kerr
Miranda Kerr is one of my biggest style icons, especially because she's also from Australia (although she's now living in New York *sigh*). She was the first Australian Victoria's Secret model and has been one of my role models since I was ten. She's an entrepenuer, a mother and a model. Being a mum is already hard as it is, how she manages to fit in modelling and being a businesswoman into her schedule is beyond me!
I am in absolute awe of how well Miranda wears double denim. It's not everyday that you see someone who knows how to flaunt it so flawlessly. I'm also in envy of how she has made the grey on her coat work so well with the brown tones on her shoes and duffle-style bag; a mix of colours I would have never even considered pairing together.
I love love love this outfit. If I could marry it, I would. The black, paneled, chiffon blouse looks sophisticated whilst not looking too formal and matches well with the same leopard print shoes that she was wearing in the outfit above. Another reason I adore this ensemble, is the black Givenchy handbag she's carrying. It's my absolute favourite handbag of all time. I mean, it's simple and classy, and it matches virtually everything!
I love this outfit mostly because it has so many layers. There's a shirt, then a button-down shirt, then a pair of stockings, then leather-look shorts, then an award-worthy coat and a pair of ankle boots. Oh, and it also features that Givenchy bag that I'm in-love with.
This is just an overall great outfit. It's so simple but it's accessorised to perfection with that statement bag and matching fedora hat. This outfit has inspired me to at least try to accessorise, and well.
