Style Inspiration: Spencer from "Pretty Little Liars"

Today I am bringing you another installment in my "style inspiration" series. With this series I re-create work appropriate looks worn by celebrities/ characters. Be sure to check out my earlier posts on Anne Hathaway & Amal Clooney if you missed them!

So I have to admit to you all that one of my biggest guilty pleasures is the TV show Pretty Little Liars. I know, i know, it's the epitome of a teenage drama, but it's just. so. addictive. The fact that all 4 main characters have unique styles with amazing wardrobes doesn't hurt either!

I've really loved Spencer's style- especially in the most recent season. The character of Spencer does work chic so well. When I first saw this casual look I knew i needed to recreate it!

I didn't have the exact peach cardigan - but I really loved the depth that the black trim brought to the look. So, I went with a blouse with black trim to re-create a similar effect.  

How do you think I did?! Do you like this look for work? And, most importantly, am I the only young professional who watches pretty little liars?! Let me know in the comments below. The remaining outfit pictures (and outfit details) are below.

Style Inspiration: Anne Hathaway as Jules in "The Intern" (Look 2)

Today's entry in my Style Inspiration Series is another look inspired by Anne Hathaway as "Jules" in The Intern. I have re-created one of her outfit's before (here), but I think that her wardrobe is the best "young professional fashionista" wardrobe I have seen in a movie. I want every outfit worn by Anne Hathaway in this movie magically transferred into my closet!

What I like about this look is that it serves as a great reminder that the bold combination of red & leopard print can work for a professional look if styled correctly. Keeping the accessories to a minimum and wearing a menswear style blazer tone down the red/leopard and create an excellent work look.

What do you think of this work look? Would you wear red & leopard to the office? I'd love to hear your thoughts! My main tips on wearing a combination of red & leopard print to work are:

1) Keep your accessories to a minimum

2) Keep the leopard print to a smaller item (shoes or a handbag are perfect)

3) Look for materials and fabrics that are high quality to keep the look professional

I hope you all have a great start to your work week. It has been so nice and warm here in Vancouver so I plan on wearing spring looks to work all week. If you follow along on instagram I'll make sure to post some of them.

Style Inspiration: Amal Clooney

I'm so excited to be sharing the second post in my "Style Inspiration" series; (you can see the first one here). When it comes to corporate chic, and looking like a fashion goddess while taking the professional world on by storm, there is no one greater than Amal Clooney.  

I have been following Amal's style for a while now, and one of the outfits that always stood out to me was this all white suit she wore last year to meet the Greek Prime Minister. I have always shied away from suit sets that are anything but black or blue. Something about the matching effect always felt very 1980s. This suit inspired me to throw that rule out the window & get myself a cream suit. 

Similar Suits: 1, 2  // Bracelet c/o (20% off w/ code LegalLee) // Handbag // Heels // Similar Sunglasses: 1, 2

Amal is quite minimalist when it comes to accessories. Inspired by her, I matched her look of black pumps, a black handbag and bold sunglasses. I did however add one simple, gorgeous bracelet to accessorize the look. I love the 'old fashioned' look to this bracelet, and I think Amal would approve haha.

Thanks for checking out today's post and I hope to see you back here on Wednesday!

My Mama - Classy and Chic in your 50s and 60s

Turtleneck: Old. Similar: here and here 
Pants: LNA Similar: here
 Flats: Old. Similar: here, here and here
Purse: Michael Kors
Necklace: Aldo

How glam is my mom you guys!?! My mama came into town to visit me and I talked her into doing some photos for the blog! She was so hesitant but I persisted.. and let's be honest I can be darn pushy and insistent about things haha.

My mom is a huge style icon for me. She LOVES to tell her friends about how I steal her suits to wear to court haha. Growing up I remember thinking she always looked classy. Her outfits were always put together and she ALWAYS had pink lipstick on. Nowadays, She loves sheath dresses and classic jewelry like pearls.

I love this particular outfit for her. It's a perfect "day out" outfit - the comfy shoes and stretchy pants make walking everywhere a breeze, while the statement necklace and pop of pink make the outfit look polished and chic.

My mom is coming back into town this week for just 2 days, so I am excited to get to see her again (even if it's only for a quick mimosa brunch! haha)
