Style Icon: Lily Collins


Lily Collins has been making a lot of movies lately, and she's been popping up all over the place for red carpet appearances or just walking around. I've always seen her style as super preppy, but lately she's become more fashionable and I've been loving her look. 


My personal favorite look was her 2013 Comic Con look, with the coordinating top and shorts. Her look can be anywhere from girly and classic to edgy and modern. While I may not always absolutely love her look, I certainly love how versatile her style is. I can definitely identify with the changing aspect of her look - one day I feel like a rock star, and the next I'll feel like Audrey Hepburn.


Lily wears a lot of clothes that are more polished, such as collared shirts, nice but casual jackets, and dark wash jeans. She can also wear clothes that are a bit more fun, such as patterned trousers or skater skirts and graphic tees. With her style, you can pretty much pair anything from her wardrobe together. Its cute and versatile, and practical - you can take any piece from day to night just by changing around a few pieces like shoes, or pants.

Tell me what you think of Lily's style in the comments.

Love,

Caro

Style Icon: Mollie King


I felt it was time for me to write a post about a style icon who was a little more modern, and who better than Mollie King from The Saturdays? She is just so adorable and british, and every time she goes out she looks impeccable.


Her style is very girly, preppy, and classic. She wears certain trends, but she never overdoes it, and as a result her outfits could fit into many different eras of style. She loves prints, especially polka dots, collars, and statement jackets.


For jackets, I kept it simple and classic, with a tan trench coat and a black moto jacket. For dresses and rompers, I chose a leather look shift dress (which is perfect because leather and leather look is a trend, but shift dresses are classic) and a lace romper. Mollie loves big bags,, that are held on the wrist, in neautral colors that can be paired with anything. For shoes, she wears heels pretty much all the time, mainly classic pumps and heeled booties, but for some flat shoes you could try some brogues or ballet flats with a cute little bow. And finally, she loves statement and printed shorts and skirts, so I put a few options up in varying styles - a standard denim hot short in a girly color, a pair of culottes in a neutral color, and a pair of patterned cotton hot shorts. 

Some items I didn't include but are essentials to get Mollie's style are classic blue jeans, white or neutral shirts or t shirts, and t shirt dresses. But, I figured that these are pretty standard wardrobe pieces, so I left them out of the polyvore set.

What are your thoughts on Mollie King's style?

Love,

Caro
