Every street, club, shop and magazine seems to be channeling Alexa's style, and why not, she is the epitome of effortless chic. This girl has the skill to achieve what very few can; to look like you have not tried, and to look good with it. Having an indie boyfriend on your arm also can't harm your style status...
Now for those of you , who like me, want to add a little bit of 'Alexa' to our wardrobes you'll be pleased to know that there are some very easy style tips to abide by. Firstly, Alexa never wears tights, bare legs are a given. Secondly, long pendents are worn with anything and everything. Then there's the matter of the cut of the clothes; Alexa always opts for classic cuts giving her a timeless look, this teamed with vintage accessories, a boyfriend blazer and bed-head hair finish the look.
However what makes this girl's fashion sense so enviable is that she has such natural style and never ceases to amaze us with her ingenious piecing together of outfits, take the pink velvet Luella ruffle dress at the Elle Awards as a prime example. Alexa we adore thee.
i love alexa she is definetly a style icon for this generation.
ReplyDeleteshe looks amazing all the time, I've never once, hated any of her outfits.

I love her pink 80s style dress :)
ReplyDeleteWow, with a picture of a breton t-shirt on the first page AND beautiful pictures of cupcakes, I am definitely up for trading blog links!! You should be up on mine very shortly.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment on my blog. Your blog looks great. I am happy to swap links and have added you to my blogroll.
ReplyDeleteOf course we can exchange blog links, I really like your blog :)
ReplyDeleteThanks fir all your nice comments xxx
I agree with your sidebar list's item about the French pedicures. UGH! Let's all grow our toenails and make them obvious to everyone!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a great blog, I'm about to add you, and thanks for stopping by mine. It seems we have similar writing styles :)
I may have to get in touch next time I'm in London so you can show me all the hidden shopping treasures (if that's not being too bold!

I do love her style, I really like the first image. I hate how everyone has copied it now but all made the same mistake of making it so schoolgirl that her reputation has been muddied a little.
ReplyDeleteAlso you are so right about the classic cuts - never underestimate the perfect silhouette and fit.
I would love to exchange links (:
I like a lot of Alexa's laid back style - she can pull off a lot of outfits that others can't.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to do the link exchange, by the way - I'll add your blog to my list now! :) xxx
Aaaah no Alexa Chung is overexposed!
ReplyDeleteI think a lot has got to do with her face to be honest. She has a unique yet beautiful face which ensures that she can carry off clothes effortlessly. ;) x
ReplyDeleteI do like her style but I think her style is quite imitable.
ReplyDeleteShe looks good granted, but it's pretty high street on trend stuff and she is a model, everything looks good on her! Its not such a challenge to look good when you are a clotheshorse!!
ReplyDeleteshe never, ever makes a faux pas, too timeless for that. And yes, I'd love to exchange links!
ReplyDeletealexa is simply a natural at being stylish
ReplyDeletecomeby the blog sometime

Hey, I love your fashion blog! I have my own~ http://london--rose.blogspot.com ♥
ReplyDeleteIt's brand new (started on the 7th Jan) and already has over 1300 visitors - reached the 1000 mark in just three weeks. And the blog is growing every day, getting more & more daily hits.
I'm going to start advertising now to get even more visitors & build popularity. I'm also starting a new area in the right hand column, to link other fashion blogs I love. I was wondering if you wanted to be linked, and link me back?
Let me know, either by email or via the blog.
Hope to hear from you soon,
Hannah ♥
PS: if you have any opinions on my blog, or any tips for a newbie =P I'd love to hear them!
I don't disslike her style but I don't get that excited by her either. I like the first picture.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I've tagged you!
ReplyDeleteI like Alexa Chung's style, but I wouldn't say she's a fashion icon. To be a fashion icon, in my opinion you have to be on the fashion stage for more than a few years and you have to be able to influence more generations. Alexa has yet to prove that. And although I like her style [that first outfit!!! <3 <3] I wouldn't say her style is THAT unique. If you showed me a picture of only her clothes, without her face, I wouldn't probably be able to tell for sure "That is Alexa!!", whereas I would recognize a Jackie O outfit immediately.
ReplyDeleteIt was very interesting reading "Alexa's style tips" though. I don't think I could live without tights though - I love my opaque tights ^^
By the way, I already added your link!
Kisses,
Cate
ha ha! I managed to link you!
ReplyDeleteloving your work! xx
I LOVE Alexa's style, and most importantly, I love that she doesn't shy away from speaking her mind on all sorts of touchy topics which mags usually like to shy away from.
ReplyDeleteWe've linked you and would love to be linked. Thanks for dropping by.
hey, I really like your blog so I tagged you for a blog award thing. You'll find the picture for it on my blog (:
ReplyDeleteThe Elle awards dress is so, so, so cute!
ReplyDeleteI'd love to swap links, will add you asap!
She has an ease but I see so many 'Alexas' daily. She looks nice but I think she emulates Carine Roitfeld a wee bit!
ReplyDeleteAlexa's style works because she is the girl next door. She wears workable items that you can find on the high street and are imitated by those who walk the high street. Like Kate Moss and Siena Miller we love her because she is one of us.
ReplyDeleteIsn't her boyf from the artic monkeys too?!
ReplyDeleteLove her!
