June BBC Day 19: Fashion/Style Icon

Let me just state this for the record. I have little to no fashion sense when it comes to what to wear on a day-to-day basis. Normally I gravitate towards a rocker look, because its comfy not just clothes-wise, but its comfy to me in a nostalgic, warm memory kind of way.


For years, and years I have been a huge fan of the Finnish Love-Metal band HIM. Their lead singer, Ville Valo seems to have made a fine art of "dressy-causal-grunge-sexy". And yes, I'm aware that he's a dude, and I'm aware that he's in the rock scene a lot more legitimately than I, but I really don't care. I adore his style and I try to emulate it where I can.


Beaten up Converse, ripped up jeans, skinny scarves, smudged eyeliner... It's just like catnip to me! Oh, and lets not get me started on the jewelry and tattoos! Yum!

You may not like it, but you can't deny, Valo's got style!!

Next up, a more girly style icon! Lucy Hale.


I love Lucy Hale, she's what beautiful would look like if the dictionary could have pictures! She's got this kind of, dark but quirky and fun style that I find really appealing! I love the way she always looks done, but not too overdone! That's a balance I find hard to get right! I love the way she manages to look effortlessly chic in what I consider to be daring outfits!

I certainly don't think I could pull off shorts, a bright colour AND an animal print all in one look, but Lucy does it!

So, ladies, who are your style icons? Were you shocked by my choices? Have you any unusual choices when it comes to emulating someones fashion sense?

Let me know!!

xoxo,
Amy

If At First You Don't Succeed...

...Try, Try Again!

I spent AN HOUR (!!!) typing and formatting a blog post because I couldn't sleep... I was at least 1200 words long. But of course, in trying to undo a mistake, I managed to lose the whole post!! RAGE!!

So instead, I'm going to post a few pictures of my main style icons, and write a wee bit about what I like about them :)

Without further ado, I give you...

Lucy Hale.

AKA Aria Montgomery of Pretty Little Liars.

I adore Lucy, ever since I saw her in Privileged. I feel like we have similar body types, as well as similar taste in style. Its very eclectic and the colors are deep, which I love, though she can pull off brighter tones too!!
