10 Reasons Why Alexa Chung Should Be Your Style Icon

Anyone who knows me knows that I love, love, love Alexa Chung. Her style, sense of humor, everything. If she wears it, I'll try to wear it. If she makes it, I'll buy it. (that will be true for her brand next Spring). In the spirit of New York Fashion Week, here are 10 reasons why Chung should be your style and life icon.

1. She is the reason you wear half of what you wear.

Denim and floral tops, check. Cardigans with almost anything, check. Skirts, flats and sweaters with collars. Check. Denim on denim she can do it. Leather jackets and jean jackets she made cool again on her own.

2. She dated Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys.

Iconic enough. One of their biggest albums "A.M" was based on their breakup. Her looks during that relationship were amazing. More rock influenced but with a girly touch. She also sported a lot of band tees...

3. She actually cares and pays attention to what goes on in the world.

Alexa was very active during the UK Referendum (to stay or leave the EU). Her, like many young Brits, wanted Great Britain to stay. She went out voted, joined protests and encouraged others to do the same through social media. She's very open minded and calls for a greater social change. Most celebrities are focused on themselves half the time.

4. Her sense of humor is one of a kind.

Anyone that pays great attention to British culture, like me, knows that their sense of humor can be a bit strange. Her Twitter and Instagram feed are not full of self-promoting, selfies and yacht vacations. But rather of nights out with friends, "ugly" pictures of herself and her posing with funny things she'll find along the way.

5. Her app "Villoid" is fun and addicting!

It is basically like Instagram for fashion lovers. You create your own looks with real pieces from designers. Inspiration can come from anyone or anything. Most of the users use Alexa herself as their inspiration.

6. Her close friends

Her squad includes fellow Brits Nick Grimshaw, Poppy Delevingne (older sister of Cara), Pixie Geldof, Rita Ora, Kelly Osborne, Matty Healy of The 1975, and even Harry Styles. You thought T Swift's squad was stacked.


7. Forget Coachella, this Brit shows that Glastonbury and the UK still reign supreme.

She stuns every year during the festival. Who knew Hunter boots where so chic?

8. She can pull off anything.

Literally anything. And look good while doing it. It takes a lot to pull off Chanel and Gucci but she makes it look easy.


9. Her signature look is the cat eye.

It is iconic. There are tutorials everywhere on how to do your makeup like Alexa. She even made her own eyeliner with Eyeko to get you as close as possible to her look.

10. The IT girl is finally going to be the head of her own brand!

After campaigns, TV shows, walking the catwalk, and writing a book, in Spring of 2017 it will be launching and I predict it will reflect everything that Alexa is.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
