Fashion Inspiration - Aria Montgomery

Aria montage from That Samantha Girl.

I absolutely adore the character Aria on PLL. I love her quirky style, which I think is a mix between grungy, vintage, punk and girly. My favourite outfits from this montage are the burgundy dress - fourth outfit top left, the stripy top and hat look - second from the bottom left, the lace looks - both bottom left and the red-ish dress - bottom middle.

I loved this outfit and was able to find a similar hat and top.

Morgan and Taylor Brim with Bow Hat $79.95 from Myer

Glamorous Stripe Sleeveless Blouse £7.00 from Republic

Matilda Cameo Necklace $16.00 from Boohoo.com

I know this necklace is very different to the one Aria is wearing, but I just think it fits her and this particular look. Oh, and I like it :)

Black and White Stripes

I stumbled across this Boutique by Jaeger Alexa Sweater in Fine Stripe for $227.71 on ASOS's website and realised I own something similar, purchased for a fraction of the price.

This is a photo of me with my cousin's baby, wearing a stripe pullover from Sussans (from memory, about $70) (sized up to XL) and a black floppy hat (about $20) from Target.

Perfume Pendant

I ordered this Gogo Philip Perfume Bottle Pendant $12.20 from ASOS last night. Excited about next weeks post!

Celebrity Fashion Inspiration - Sophia Bush and Troian Bellisario from PLL

Sophia Bush attended the InStyle Summer Soiree mixing Ted Baker's colorful separates, Nola Singer statement jewels and a striped Edie Parker clutch.  I love the colour yellow and floral, so this was a 'win win' outfit for me. The soft waves make her look slightly more casual, avoiding the 'too put together' look. Her shoes appear to have a lace panel, which I also adore. (Picture and outfit information from Look of the Day on Instyle's website).

I adore Troian Bellisario and her character Spencer, on Pretty Little Liars. I have watched many interviews of Troian on YouTube. She always presents intelligently, with humour and originality. I especially like the clips where she sings, particularly the song, 'Skinny Soul'. Her musical partner, Shane Coffey, is equally talented. Troian's outfit choices for the Teen Choice Awards have been stunning. Off the carpet, she dresses for comfort and rocks a more laid-back look, which I also like, especially her fedora.

Metallic inspired outfit

A casual look for tea with the girls. I have a crush on 'metallic'.

I purchased this metallic tank from Sussans.

I layered it on top of my longline tank (sized up to XL) from Sussans (which then looks like a metallic top and skirt)

I wore black leggings (the pair pictured are Sussans)

and my Windsor Smith Betty Black boots (purchased at Myers).

For accessories, I chose my black ring (old)

and wore my Giselle Vintage Diamante and Gem Bracelet from Boohoo.com for the first time.
