How to Dress like Hanna from PLL

After the summer finale of Pretty Little Liars, I found myself wanting to dress more and more like Hannah- a fashion inspiration for any girl.
So how do you dress like her??
Here are a few tips.

*Try a structured jacket or boyfriend blazer over your favorite girly dress. Hannah loves to be girly, but borrow elements from cute boy clothing!

*Define your waist with a skinny belt over a blazer, or belt buckles over dresses!

*Hannah likes blue, so find your hue! Everybody has a favorite color for outfits! Tell me yours in the comments below!

*Don't go light on jewlery! Wear big necklaces or elegant hoop earrings!

On the episode "Know Your Frenemies," Hanna wears a beautiful feather ring! Here's a similar one:

Fall Clothing

As fall rolls around the corner, us fashion junkies need new outfits! But what's in, and what's out?

My number one piece of advice is to dress appropriately to the weather. If you live in SoCal, well it's still 80 degrees. If you're in the Midwest,  it's cooling down to 70s and 60s.
Some great stores include Forever 21 and J Crew.

Mixing colors of similar hues is in right now, for example bright cobalt blue mixed with purple and emerald.

Fashion designers are saying animal print is in, what do you think? Let me know in the comments!

If your in a colder area, a cashmere scarf with a cardigan go really well together! Silk scarves are still beautiful to me, though.
Good luck this fall on fashion!

Closet Essentials

Every girl should have the basic things in her closet. Remodeling your closet? Know what to look for. Here is my list of closet Essentials.
Whether your preppy, goth, edgy, or girly, there are five main things you need in your closet.
1) At least five different colored camis. You can do so many things with them, and you need them for almost everything. Wear them under a sort-of see through shirt, and you've got a cute, school and work appropriate outfit. Wear them with a nicer sweater and you could go to a nice restaurant. Wear them with pajama pants and you could go to bed!

2) Jeans. Or jean shorts, or skinny jeans, or jeggings, or any jean material you wear on your legs. As long as you own one pair, it's good. I would reccomend 4-6 pairs. Jeans are important because they're casual, but can still look nice. Maybe not fancy restaurant nice, but they can look very cute for school, and they might look alright for casual Fridays at your work :)

3) A pair of athletic shorts. Comfy, and very breathable.  If you play a sport, or even just go to the gym, a pair of athletic shorts is a must-have. If you go to school and they have a gym uniform, you'll want to get another pair any way, that's cute and will match a cute t-shirt for working out with friends, or even just a lazy day around the house. 

4) 1-3 Cardigans. Depending on your style, you may have different amounts, however I would reccomend one to three. These are nice, while still casual. Cardigans are great for going out with friends, and can be found at H&M and Gap. For things like cardigans, it's great to shop at wal-mart or Target because they are cheap, and save money for other good things!

5) A big bag, preferably black or white so it matches more outfits. They key to this bag is it has to carry a lot of things. This should be the bag you carry around with you on vacation, around school/work, and even to the movies! This bag needs to hold: cell phone, extra lip gloss, feminine products, water bottle, and depending on where your going it may need to hold a flashlight, or a snack!
