Currently Obsessing Over: PLL Fashion! - Carlisle

On a scale from 1 to white girl, how basic does this post make me?

Hello everyone!  Today I thought I would talk about my favorite TV show, and it's AMAZING fashion.

I love Pretty Little Liars, I've been watching it for years.  I for one, am super excited for the PLL Halloween Special.  Although I am kinda upset about us not getting our traditional Halloween episode! (They are my favorites)  But we are getting a Christmas episode so it will be fun to see how the Liars celebrate that.  And what about that fatal finale?!  I was actually beginning to like Mona a little!

Anyways, on to the fashion.  Ahh, it's to die for!  I wish people at my school actually dressed like that.  I actually dress up for school, but most of the people I know don't.  I don't know about you guys, but I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a t-shirt and yoga pants to school or as a matter of fact, anywhere.  (Trust me, I tried it once and felt awful all day long)

Can you guess who my favorite Liar is?  If you guessed Spencer, then you're totally right!  I love her classic and preppy style.

Spencer:


Spencer has always been my absolute favorite.  She's by far the preppiest and classiest in style out of the 4 liars.  I love her personality and out of all the liars, I'm most like Spencer.  Her clothes are so daring and classic and I just love it!  She has the neutral preppy style, which I love! 

Hanna:

 

Ah, Hanna..  I love this girl!  She's hilarious and SO fun!  I debated on whether to do her older style of her new one.  Honestly, I love the new Hanna!  I did love her old style.  She could totally pull off the chunky jewelry and neon dresses.  But I think the new Hanna is better!  She's finding herself and experimenting with different fashions and I for one, LOVE it!  And come on, punk Haleb is life ;)

Aria:

 

I love Aria's funky style!  She's always wearing super cute and fun outfits!  The first picture is actually one of my absolute favorites.  Her chunky jewelry and skirt made out of ties are so artsy and major statement pieces.  Sometimes I wish I had the confidence to wear her style.... sometimes ;)

Emily:

 

As much as I hate to admit it, Emily's style just isn't my cup of tea.  I love her character and all, but her style is just too tom-boy for my liking.  Shay Mitchell does an amazing job of pulling it off though!  The style is very tom-boy/punk which is very popular this day in age.

Thank you SO much for reading my blog!  
Don't forget to comment and tell me who YOUR favorite Liar is!

Preppy Girl Tag! - Carlisle

Hello ladies!  I stumbled across the "Preppy Girl Tag" on youtube and thought it would be so much fun to recreate onto blog form, seeing as I don't make youtube videos.  So, without further ado, here are the questions:

What's your definition of preppy? 
Classic and timeless.  I feel like this is everyone's answer - but it's so true!  Ralph Lauren, Lilly Pulitzer, Brooks Brothers...  They all hold that classic and timeless air about them.  I feel like preppy is an attitude, not just your style of clothing.  Preppy is mature and sophisticated.  Preppy is trying your hardest.  Preppy is about doing more than the minimum.  

What's your all time favorite brand? 
I definitely love Ralph Lauren the most.  Literally - if I had an infinite amount of money, I would buy everything in the store!  I also love J. Crew and Vineyard Vines.

What is your favorite Lilly print? 
Okay so to be honest, I'm not a fan of Lilly Pulitzer that much.  I love the phone cases and agendas, of course.  But I'm just not the type of girl who likes to wear bright colors and prints.  Don't get me wrong - I don't think there is anything wrong with Lilly Pulitzer, just the clothes aren't right for me.  My phone case is in the print 'Tiger Lilly' and I love it!

Favorite preppy YouTuber? 
I LOVE GlamourKate08!  I've watched her videos for a while and I just think she's so gorgeous and her style is to die for!

Jack Rogers or Sperrys?
Definitely Sperrys!  I practically live in mine!  I usually get a new pair every 1-2 years because the hold up so well and they are SO comfortable.  I wear mine all year long.  I'm not a super huge fan of sandals, but I do think Jack Rogers are cute.

Jeans or Khakis?
Jeans!  I love khakis also, but a super cute pair of plain medium wash skinny jeans are my staples for this upcoming fall/winter!

Duck Boots, Riding Boots or Hunters?
Riding boots!  I love the look of Hunters but I've never been a fan of rain boots.  Duck boots are on my list of 'to purchase' for this fall.

Navy or Black?
Black!  I seriously love black so much!  It's slimming and super classy.  I do love navy also though.

On a scale of 1-10 how much do you love J.Crew?
10!  J. Crew is one of my absolute favorite stores and the jewelry is to die for.

Favorite Ralph Lauren clothing item? 
HOLY GRAIL QUESTION!  I love Ralph Lauren so much!  My favorite RL clothing item would have to be either my blue oxford or my black pleated stretch skirt (HEY it's on sale right now!  CLICK HERE!)

Pearls or bows?
Pearls!  I've never really liked bows that much.

Fall Statment Pieces - Emerson

Well friends, it's officially October!  Fall is probably my favorite season, I mean who doesn't love sweater, scarves, and Pumpkin Spice lattes?  Fashion this time of year is all about layering, especially sweaters, coats, and scarves for those chilly days.

The best accessory (in my opinion) is a patterned scarf. A unique print can add that perfect touch of sophistication to an otherwise plain outfit.  And the best thing?  Just add a different shirt and you have a totally different outfit.
Another fall staple is a warm jacket.  I personally love my North Face windbreaker, it keeps me toasty warm but it also has the advantage of not being too bulky to carry if I decide to carry it.  Best of all, it looks stylish and classy without much effort!  Pair with a tee and a scarf for a perfect fall outfit!

One of my favorite things this time of year is to explore new fashion ideas on Pinterest.  I'm always inspired by the crazy cute outfits I find on there! (Seriously though, how do they do it?? Give me your sense of style... or your whole wardrobe.)

Hope ya'll have an awesome October!  Have a favorite fall fashion staple? Comment below!

Stay Classy,
Emerson
