Mastering the perfect ‘I just rolled out of bed and look
how fabulous I am’ look that young starlets like Mischa
Barton, Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan have
been sporting all over town is not as difficult as you might
think. Although not everyone is as blessed with the endless
cash flow, talented stylists and free merchandise that these
young fashion plates are, this does not mean that we cannot
recreate these looks to fit within our own budgets, and with
our own Canadian spin.
Start with your favorite and most comfortable pair of jeans
to get this hip and casual look. Pair those jeans with a flowy
white camisole and the look really begins to take shape. Try
Club Monaco’s sexy silky lace camisole for $59.00
(#3).
One of this season’s hottest looks that has been seen
on virtually every celebrity is the slouchy suede boots. These
boots echo the bohemian inspired looks seen on the runways
and high streets all around the world. Aldo offers
both leather and suede versions of this look for $129.00 (#5).
Available for purchase at www.aldoshoes.com.
This particular look that Miss Lindsay (or LL to which some
may refer) is wearing really is all about the accessories.
Even the most basic outfit can be made stylish by adding the
right little accents. For instance, Lindsay’s oversized
Gucci bag shown in the photo can easily be swapped for a less
pricey version. Shown here is Canadian Leather company Danier’s
version of an oversized tote. Entitled the ‘downtown’
(#1) this suede bag is perfect to fit all of your necessities,
and then some. This piece currently retails for $69.00. Available
for purchase at www.danier.com.
No starlet’s look is complete without oversized sunglasses.
These super-sized shades popularized by the likes of Mary-Kate
and Ashley Olsen are from Aldo (#4) and retail for a wallet
friendly $12.00. Available for purchase at www.aldoshoes.com.
Finally, all you need to finish off this look is a great
piece of jewelry. Lindsay is seen here wearing a chunky gold
chain, which looks just like a piece from Canadian jeweler
Foxy Originals’ paradise collection. The ‘sin
necklace’ (#2), which is available in gold, silver and
bronze is a great piece that not only completes this outfit,
but also can be worn with virtually anything else! Available
for purchase at www.foxyoriginals.com.
