So I obviously get my fashion inspirations somewhere right? And while I adore Vogue and W and Harpers Bazaar, their clothes aren't something I can wear on an every day basis. There are a few celebs whose daily fashions I see and crave. That's why I decided to make a weekly/monthly/yearly (??) or whenever the hell I feel like it post of fashion styles I wear or crave.

So here's my first one.

Okay. So everyone knocks the Olsen twins for their wacky fashion sense but most of the time, I actually dig it. Mary Kate, not so much. She's a bit more extreme in her 'I need to look like a hobo' style. Whenever she walks around like a bag lady, there's only really one or two pieces I really like (usually the shoes or bag) and the rest just looks ridiculous. However, I think Mary Kate's wacky style works better on the red carpet. I've seen her rock some pretty awesome outfits on the red carpet.

Now as a disclaimer: I cannot tell the difference between the two. I can usually only tell when the caption below the photo tells me so.

Moving on:
I'm loving it. Classic black blazer, cigarette pants and white tee. Black stilettos, elegantly mussed hair and red lipstick. So simple yet striking. This is definitely an outfit I'd wear out.

God. I love this. So fucking casual yet bad ass. I love the shoes. She could have worked it with a pair of flat unlaced military boots also, but the heels make it work. The half un-tucked plaid shirt, red sunglasses, bag and funky jewelry all even it out. Love it. Perfect Sunday afternoon outfit, after you've been partying all night Saturday.

Ooh where do I start? Okay. Starting with the twin on the left (Mary Kate?).
Love: bright jade flats, motorcycle jacket with contrasting textures, funky scarf, huge sunglasses, elegantly disheveled bun.
DO NOT love: weird '90s jeans. Lace up? Really?
Twin on the right (Ashley?)
Love: Long funky cardigan thing.
Ambivalent: Riding boots, grey jeans, sunglasses

Another casual celebrity style I love is Rachel Bilson.
Love the whole outfit and how casual it is. I know a lot of people hate the pockets sticking out of the shorts but it makes me think of carefree summer days which is nice. I'm not a big fan of flats so I'd probably switch out those flats for simple flip flops. There! That's my summer outfit.

This is a little more boarding school reject which is a style I find myself drawn to. I like the almost little girl style of the cardigan and skirt roughened up by the stockings and flat boots. Oh yeah. LOVE the boots.

I like the rock 'n roll element of this outfit (which reminds me, I need to find a nice pair of leather pants). Black blazers are my go to cover up. I'm not sure how I feel about the grey booties. It either brings something new to the outfit or is too jarring. I vote for jarring. Maybe blood red stilettos or metallic would have worked better. I feel like the grey dulls the outfit.
