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.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
