Style Inspired


While it’s not necessarily a goal of mine to change up my closet or reinvent the way I dress, I do think of style as evolving and as I’m turning another year older, my view on what I find stylish is also changing. With that being said I find inspiration for fashion not just from fashion blogs or pinterest, but celebrities and their every day clothes. I thought it would be fun to round up the celebs whose style I swoon over!! 



Lauren Conrad


I may or may not have a small girl crush on LC. Ever since seeing her Pop Innovators interview on E! I’v become an even bigger fan. She’s always effortlessly dressed and so well put together! She’s got the California Girl thing down!

Blake Lively

Blake Lively Style


Aside from me just wanting to be friends with her, not only is she drop dead gorgeous, but she also doesn’t use a stylist which just proves that all you have to do is have a passion for fashion to make it work!! Well that an unlimited budget for clothes!

Olivia Palermo

Olivia Palermo Style


If I ever saw her on the street I’m pretty sure I’d think out loud, “could she be any chicer?” I had a really hard time narrowing it down because she seriously wears clothes so well!!

Also really liked this look!

Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton Style


I have to be honest and say while I love Kate Middleton’s every day style, I’m not a fan of her dressed up looks. Since she is royalty I understand she has to be a bit more demure which is not currently my style, but I love her casual outfit and they are relatively affordable too!

While I’m not particularly in need of any new clothes, I will be doing a huge closet purge in the next few weeks and have my eye on a few things to replenish said closet with! I also want to find more pieces that can be worn for multiple purposes like work appropriate tops, that are just as cute for a date night. These cargo pants that Lindsay introduced me to are at the top of the list!! 





Who do you look to for style inspiration? Are you changing anything about your look in 2015?

    I'm with you on all of these! And I especially love the pics you chose too!
    As fashion evolves one thing can be sure, there will be lots of texts between friends of "does this look ok??" ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Love all of these looks. You picked the Hollywood girls who have got it figured out, for sure! You know how I posted a couple of days ago that I had ordered that faux fur vest and couldn't wait to have it delivered? Well David read my blog yesterday {he binge reads on his phone… probably when ESPN doesn't have anything worthwhile} and he said, "YOU bought THAT?" Yeah. "Why? That's doesn't look like something you'd wear at all." So apparently I'm expanding my style without even knowing it.

    These are all my fashion icons too! I love Kristin Cavallari also. I find Lauren's styles to be the most wearable though! xo

    I totally used to watch the Hills…….Olivia drove me nuts on there but I'm sure that was all scripted and they needed a "villain" if you will. Her style is so gorgeous and do you follow her on Insta? Her man and her are like model worthy all the time! Fabulous picks girl!

    Well, you and I are pretty similar in our celebrity style inspirations! Lauren Conrad and Kate Middleton are the ultimate's in my world – they seriously can do no wrong when it comes to fashion. Blake Lively is just perfection, and although she's not my favorite person, Olivia Palermo does wear clothes very well. Thanks for all the great inspiration today – it makes me want to purge my closet, too!

    Love all your fashion gals, they are extremely chic and put together.

    I want to be a bit more daring with styles in 2015. I usually wait before I try a trend, out of fear, but I want to try one thing right away this year. I might be giving you a shout though, to make sure it's okay ;)!

    I totally want to be friends with Blake Lively as well, ha ha! How about this…. my friend teaches middle school aged kids and she mentioned to them that she was going to cut her hair like Lauren Conrad (her new short do) and they had NO idea who she was talking about. How old does that make us sound now?! ha ha!
    Loving your fashion icons!

    I love all of these looks. Lauren Conrad is probably my fave because she always looks put together but comfortable, without even tryingโ€ฆif that makes sense? I've been working on my wardrobe/style a lot the last couple of months so I don't expect any major changes this year, just more of figuring out what I like ๐Ÿ™‚

  33. Julia
    January 8, 2015 / 3:27 pm

    Yes to all of these! Especially LC and Kate Middleton, they are just flawless! So classy and chic! I feel like I'm kind of just now coming into my own as far as style goes, and while I still have a lot to learn and I am no fashionista, I feel a lot more confident in my fashion choices now than I did in my 20's! So my style is definitely evolving and I'm wanting to try some new things this year!

    I love all these ladies!! Good choices! My style changed quite a bit when I started working (I added a lot more work tops that could be worn out). My style in SF was diff because it was colder so now that I am back in sunny SoCal I do dress a bit more playfully.

    I prefer Kate Middleton's casual style over her more polished, public appearance appropriate looks too. I like how simple and reasonable they are. And I don't know what rock I've been living under but Blake Lively really does have a great sense of style. Why am I only realizing this today?

  43. Paige @ An Uncomplicated Life Blog
    January 8, 2015 / 5:08 pm

    I think Blake not only has great style, she's also one of the most naturally beautiful people I've ever seen! LC has GREAT style, and I'd totally raid her closet if I ever had the chance. I think Kate gets it right for some of her evening looks, but others are too conservative and I usually think her hair is off (the long ringlets thing, over and over again, gets boring!)

    Lauren Conrad and Jennifer Aniston are a couple of my faves! I have been slowly getting rid of some old & cheap clothing and replacing it with some nicer pieces over the last year for sure.

    I love Kate Middleton, but definitely her casual looks – I can't relate to the fancy ball gowns lol. I love Lauren Conrad as well, and of course Blake… but Olivia.. I mean she always looks ahhhmazing and chic but she also doesn't look very friendly… so I don't know haha.

  50. Brittany @ Perpetually Daydreaming
    January 8, 2015 / 5:51 pm

    Love these! Kate always looks so polished, but I agree with you on some of her dressier looks. Blake of course is flawless! And she would have her baby early so she never even entered the huge whale phase. haha

    I was just talking about this yesterday. My styles change over the years and I suppose that is a good thing…. especially because I'm in my late 30s and should NOT dress like I did in my 20s.

    I am really liking the simple yet classy looks of these celebs. Great picks!

    I've always adored how Lauren Conrad dresses (and I've always been Team LC ;)). She's got the sleek and sexy and simple thing down PAT. And Kate Middleton, oh man. More than once I've just stared at a photo of her (THAT HAIR!) hoping that somehow I can absorb her style if I just stare hard enough haha. That probably sounds really creepy, huh?
