Get The Look: Shay Mitchell

After the massive unveil of 'A' during the Pretty Little Liars finale, I thought I would put together a 'Get The Look' for each of the actresses. Each outfit is more focused on the actresses own personal style, as opposed to their characters style. However, if you enjoy these five instalments I will be happy to put together a 'Get The Look' for each Liars personal styling.

My first 'Get The Look' is the beautiful Shay Mitchell aka Emily Fields. I love Shay's style as it is so simple and effortless. She doesn't really use lots of colours in her outfits, but she still manages to look put together.

Outfit 1

The first outfit Shay is wearing is so simple that you can replicate it at home for yourselves, plus all of these pieces should be staples in anyone's wardrobe. Shay is wearing a simple grey cotton jumper with a pair of ripped and distressed low rise jeans. To complete the look. Shay paired the outfit with some brown wedges to make the outfit look more smarter and less casual. She didn't do anything to her hair so it gave the illusion of a just-got-out-of-bed look. 

Get The Look: Shay Mitchell (Outfit 1)
TALL MOTO Ripped Hayden Jeans - Topshop - £42.00
V Neck Jumper - H&M - £14.99 (Also in Khaki Green, Dark Grey and Beige)
Light Brown Sling Back Wedges - New Look - £22.99 (Also in Black)

Outfit 2

The second outfit has lots more pattern and creates a Boho/festival vibe. Shay is wearing a simple black off-the-shoulder crop top, which has been the craze this spring/summer. To add a vibrant mix of colours, she is wearing a patterned maxi skirt which suits her so well. For accessories, Shay paired the outfit with some of her own Quay sunglasses and a simple gold necklace. For her hair, Shay has some beach waves which makes her look put together and ready for a festival!

Cornia Ethnic Print Maxi Skirt - Boohoo.com - £12
Black Bandage Bardot Neck Crop Top - New Look - £19.99 (Also in White)
MY GIRL Sunglasses by Quay - Topshop - £30
Gold Tone Double Coin Necklace - River Island - £6

Outfit 3

The third outfit Shay is wearing is much more smarter and sophisticated than the previous two. Shay outfit is a white lace top and a suede beige pencil skirt, which makes her look like she is ready to go to the office. For accessories, Shay paired the outfit with some diamond earrings and a chunky bracelet. Shay has some soft curls in her hair and a bold red lipstick to make her look more effortless and chic.

Natasha Organza Lace Shoulder Panel Oversized Shirt - Boohoo.com - £20
Helen Tassel Chain Earrings - Boohoo.com - £5
Facet Bracelet Pack - Topshop - £14

Outfit 4

The final outfit Shay is wearing has got to be my favourite of the four. She looks so chic and sophisticated but she is only wearing three items. Shay wears another pair of ripped distressed low rise jeans with a over sized striped shirt. To make the outfit look more smarter, she paired the outfit with some black heels. I love Shay's hair in this picture, she has simply pinned her hair back but left her fringe and extra pieces of hair out to make it look more boho inspired.

Get The Look: Alexa Chung

I have been trying to get these blog post up for so long now and I have been putting it off for so long. I love doing these type of blog posts, as I love taking inspiration from celebrities and trying to find a similar outfit on the high street for half the price. However, these posts do take a long time to produce and create, so sorry about that. The blog post is dedicated to the gorgeous Alexa Chung. I love Alexa's laid back style, but she still manages to look as if she has taken a long time to put together her outfit.

I was meant to put together 3 different looks on Alexa's style, but I haven't published a blog post in so long and I thought that you guys had been waiting long enough, so I only have the two.

Look 1
Get The Look: Alexa Chung 1
Black Curved Hem 3/4 Sleeve Blazer - £24.99 - New Look (Also in Cream and Shell Pink)
White Smart Cotton Shirt - £25 - River Island
Silence + Noise North Convertible Clutch Bag in Black - £32 - Urban Outfitters
MOTO Vintage Mom Shorts - £28 - Topshop

Alexa's first looks like it should not work, however, in a odd way she pulls it off. Alexa dresses the look up with a smart white blouse (a must have in any wardrobe) with a black staple blazer. However, she makes the look more casual with some distressed denim shorts and black tights. For accessories, she adds a black shoulder bag and a polka dot tie for a pop of colour. I love this look as it shows you that you don't have to keep your shorts for the summer but can wear them all year round. I found a similar look on the high street for you. My favourite items I found were the high-waisted shorts from Topshop which resemble mom jeans, but in shorts. I also love the bag from Urban Outfitters as it is a stable and would go with so many outfits, which can be worn smart or casual.

Look 2
Get The Look: Alexa Chung 2
White Oversized Dip Hem Longline Shirt - £14.99 - New Look (Also in Black)
Flippy Panel Skirt - £25 - Topshop
Silence + Noise North Convertible Clutch Bag in Black - £32 - Urban Outfitters
Black Pointed Platform Ankle Strap Heels - £27.99 - New Look (Also in Pale Blue and Blue Pattern)

Alexa's second look is much more smart than the first. Again, Alexa wears a white blouse with a gold-studded collar to add some dimension to the outfit. A black velvet skirt makes this look appear quite preppy. The bag, as shown before, is paired with some high heels to make the look more smart.

Hope you enjoyed this blog post. Let me know if you enjoy these type of posts and I will try and get into a schedule in writing more blog posts and quicker.

Get The Look: Blair Waldorf

Sorry, I haven't posted in a while, but I have been so busy with school, university applications, coursework, homework etc, so my life has become a little bit hectic at the moment. But, I have finally made some time in my schedule to sit down and write a blog post.

As seen previously, I thought I would continue doing my 'Get The Look' posts, as I really enjoy making them and hopefully you enjoy reading them. Continuing on with my Gossip Girl theme, I decided my next 'Get The Look' is Blair Waldorf - the popular, preppy, smart character in the show. I have already done Serena van Der Woodsen, so if you would like to see how to get her style, then click here.

Personally, I think my style is very similar to Blair's than Serena, as I really enjoy wearing quite preppy clothing, with peter pan collars, skater skirts and a tailored coat. Therefore, I love watching another episode of Gossip Girl, as I like to see what Blair is going to be wearing as she always manages to pull off any look perfectly.

As with my blog post on Serena, there are going to be three different looks that Blair wears during the show, I will be showing you where you can get a similar look for much cheaper on the high-street.

Hope you enjoy!

1) Spring/Summer Outfit
Get The Look: Blair Waldorf
Top - Yellow Curve Hem Keyhole Back Top - £12.99 - New Look - (Also in Black, Grey, Winter White, Blue, Plum, Spicy Orange)
Skirt - Grey Floral Print Pleated Mini Skirt - £25 - River Island 
Heels - Glory Suede High Heel Shoes - WAS - £58 NOW - £30 - Topshop 
Bag - Light Pink Croc Mini Cross Body Bag - £20 - River Island 
Bracelet - Gold Gemstone Flower Stretch Bracelet - £7.99 - New Look 

Although summer is over and autumn is upon us, I thought I would still share a spring/summer outfit of Blair's, as this was one of my favourites. Although I couldn't get the exact same outfit as Blair's I did try to get similar items that would still make the perfect Blair outfit. A bright yellow top really makes this outfit stand out, paired with a patterned skirt, it adds more drama and volume to the look. While keeping the top similistic, it makes the bottom half more exciting and dramatic. I love the shoes Blair paired with this look. The pop of orange adds another hint of colour. I found more of a darker tone of orange instead, which would be perfect to wear this autumn! Blair keeps jewellery to a minimal as the skirt is the main vocal point. I chose a simple gold bracelet with a flower pattern which have similar colours to the skirt. I could not find a orange bag anywhere, or the ones I could find I didn't like. Instead, I picked a light pink to tie the whole outfit together.

2) Autumn/Winter Outfit 
Get The Look: Blair Waldorf
Coat - Double Breasted Wool Coat - £89 - Miss Selfridge 
Gloves - Black Leather Long Gloves - £30 - River Island  
Heels - Bright Yellow Angular Court Shoes - £45 - River Island (Also in Black and White Snake, Black, and Navy)   
Scarf - Monochrome Houndstooth Oversized Scarf - £12.99 - New Look 
Bag - Tres Chic Clutch - £16 - Miss Selfridge

The second look of Blair's is more suitable for this season, especially with the oversized coat, which is this year's trendiest style. Blair begins her look with a bright green oversized coat which is the main focal point of the entire look. I could not find a similar coat to Blair's so I opted for a lighter shade of green instead, which I personally prefer rather than Blair's bright colour. Blair adds bright accessories to the look which detract from the coat. The bright neon yellow bag and shoes draw your attention, and I managed to find some similar shoes to Blair's from River Island. Instead of getting a handbag, I chose a clutch instead which makes the look more wearable for the evening. Blair finishes the look with some long gloves and a scarf to make her more warm. I found a checked scarf which I think would look perfect with the mint green coat and the bright accessories. To complete the look, I found some leather black gloves, just like Blair's.

3) The Preppy Look
Get The Look: Blair Waldorf
Blouse - Long Sleeve Cotton Shirt - £20 - Topshop
Skirt - Navy Belted Skater Skirt - £12.99 - New Look (Also in, Black, Grey, and Purple)
Pumps - White Studded Toe Cap Slipper Shoes - £30 - River Island (Also in Blue)
Socks - 2 Pack Navy Knee High Socks - £2.99 - New Look (Also in Warm Grey)
Headband - Gold Tone Double Row Alice Band - £5 - River Island 

The final look of Blair's has got to be my favourite. I could probably see myself wearing this outfit as I absolutely love wearing blouses with a cute skater skirt. Blair represents the perfect student in this outfit and showcases the ideal school uniform for all girls. A crisp, white, fitted blouse is my favourite item to wear at the moment, as you can pair it with anything and everything and it still looks like you put so much effort into your look. A skater skirt in a block colour adds some colour to the look. Blair keeps hers at a neutral colour as she is at school. However, at New Look you can get one similar to Blair's in a wide range of colours. For accessories, Blair adds some knee-high socks to add to the schoolgirl/preppy look and some white pumps. I chose some pumps with a gold toe cap to add some extra detail to the look. Finally, Blair finishes the look off with her signature hair band, so I obviously had to finish mine off with one as well.

 Which look of Blair's was your favourite?
