Style Highlights: Alexa Chung

I feel that lately I've been starting off each post with an apology. And for that I'm sorry. I posted about Dakota Fanning the day before yesterday and I wrote this post at the same time that I wrote that one because I knew that I was going to be SO busy today and I honestly wouldn't have time. I need to stop aologizing and just blog. :) Next week will be better but I think I said that last week.

Alexa chose to wear a simple trench over and blue and white plaid mini-dress. Her up-do and super chic Valentino shoes keep the her from looking like she is dressed up as Dorothy, from The Wizard of Oz. She's a beautiful girl who looks young and fresh.

This is what rocker chic looks like! Alexa hits the nail on the head again. :) Her simple grey sweater is perfect for the cold days ahead but it becomes instantly chic when paired with a sleek leather mini-skirt. Her legs might be a little chilly but fashion knows no pain. Or at least that's what they say. Her leopard print purse is the perfect accesory. It is fun--without being over-the-top.

Alexa always look great in Chanel. This blocking pattern exposes a bit more skin than Alexa is used to showing. The blue compliments her skintone wonderfully. Doesn't she look like she's glowing? Maybe it has to do with the fact that she's at a Chanel fashion show. Her soft, whispy locks frame her face to perfection. Lovely. :)

Aha! Alexa still looks fabulous in pants. This simple peach top, tied around the waist to accentuate it, is laid-back and simple. Alexa knows that less is more in the fashion world--not including fabric, that is.

Burberry! Oh, I'm in love. Burberry is one of the most iconic brands in the world. And Christoper Bailey has managed to maintain Burberry's classic reputation while creating a brand that is edgy and fashion-forward. The military green color is super popular at the moment but what really stands out is that cross-the-shoulder purse. Perfect to stow away makeup, cellphones, and other neccesities.

Another Chanel look and Alexa still looks gorgeous. Her black tights and black shoes enlongate her legs. Plus black is very flattering. She takes this classic frock and makes it her own by adding a funky skull necklace and heart shaped pin--featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono. She doesn't take fashion too seriously. I admire that. :)

Alexa Chung's Street Style

Alexa Chung has risen in the ranks of my style inspiration. She's fun and modern. Not afraid to take chances. But her taste level is quite outstanding and she makes her risks work. Not exactly easy. :)

She easily tops best dressed lists both in the UK and US. But if you want to know why Alexa considers Williamsburg her lover and London her husband, check out this video on Style.com. Plus you'll get some tips on what to do when you're vintaging.

What do you think of her style?

Alexa Chung in military jacket and jean cuttoffs [left] and polka-dot dress and leather jacket [right].

Alexa mixes the soft and the tough together wonderfully. The off-white lace top balances the masculine, oversized military jacket. Her light-washed jeans  and sandals paired over socks keeps the look casual and young. She is not afraid to show skin but she keeps the look classy by not showing too much.

Alexa is mixing tough and soft again. Biker jacket equals tough while the polka dot dress is a touch of innocence and youth. Who says polka-dots are for little girls? The cut is fairly simple as not to compete with the semi-loud print. The cut-out booties make the outfit fashion rather than pretty girl in cute dress. They're fashion forward and edgy.

A flash of metallics every once and a while is completely warranted. The silver brocade shorts sparkle as she leaves the MTV's Times Square Studio. The rest of her outfit is kept simple as to keep from competing with a truly extraordinary piece. Next, he plaid dress--by itself--would have been a little too much plaid. Wether its her confidence or her peacoat, one thing is for sure, she looks stunning. A prefect look for roaming New York City in style.
