Girl Crush: Alexa Chung

The obvious reason to buy the September issue of Marie Claire this month was the cover story with 1/2 of the dynamic design duo behind Elizabeth and James and The Row. But as if a luxurious spread with Ashely Olsen lounging in vintage lingerie (more on that here) wasn't enough, I was also treated to a few pages of buzz worthy it girl Alexa Chung posing pretty in some very desirable fall fashions.


While I have yet to see this brit beauty's MTV show It's On with Alexa Chung (the show only airs stateside) i've been stalking her personal style on WWWD for a while now. Her eclectic fashion choices and "oh i just threw this on" ensembles demonstrate that this former model is definitely in the know when it comes to style without ever trying too hard. Perhaps i'm girl crushing so hard because her distinctive and quirky outfits have a London chic vibe that makes me nostalgic for the UK and reminisce about fashion forward high street offerings across the pond.


Whether she's grabbing coffee, stomping around a muddy festival or sauntering down a red carpet, this girl is looking good in such an effortless way. So - if, like me, you're craving some more eye candy from Alexa's wardrobe click here and take a virtual tour of her inspiring style. And if her clothes don't speak from themselves you can read more from this style savvy girl as she recently added 'journalist' to her growing list of accomplishments - coming on board as a contributing editor for British Vogue, of course.

And Katers: if there was ever any doubt whether or not to maintain your middle part - this it girl's enviable locks should inspire you to avoid messing with your tresses for little while longer.
