Style Icon: Blair Waldorf

Well over at British Style Bloggers the theme for the month is style icons which suits my personal Style Icon series just fine.
I adore the way Blair Waldorf, a character from Gossip Girl dresses. I must admit (please don't all come after me with your stilettos!) I'm not loving Season 3 at all but Blair keeps me turning to ITVplayer, maybe it's our shared headband addiction. Still it's not the same now she's not living in her family apartment with it's regular supply of beautiful flower arrangements! In the first two series she's still at school and the basic uniform guidelines seem to be a navy skirt and white blouse. In general at this point Miss Waldorf favours a nautical colour palette, adding in red and always topped off with a headband.

Some clothes for the day:

Make up wise Blair's hair is always pristine and curling tongues never go amiss, plus lots of lip gloss. Fresh blush or I suspect at times they opt for bronzer instead and eyes contoured in natural eyeshadow colours and defined with a black eye pencil. Now my hair's a bit more 'Serena-y' and to say that kohl eyeliner doesn't suit me is a mjor understatement.

I personally love it when Blair branches out colour palette wise and goes for something soft and pretty:

In the evening Blair's style is still classic with lots of black and monochrome with some metallic tones and the occasional jewel colour.

And to complete the look? Why a beautiful headband of course!

Style Icon: Elle Woods

I've been thinking that I'll do a series on style icons from film and TV using a mixture or internet resources such as Polyvore, shops and my own wardrobe.
This first one had to be shot with my old hair colour (ahh the roots! something had to be done) as the style icon is Elle Woods of Legally Blonde (2001) played by Reese Witherspoon. Elle is the Beverly Hills blonde who decides to go to law school to win her boyfriend back.
This is a closet of two sides; the pink one and the serious lawyer one.

On to being a law student:

I'm really looking forward to featuring the characters I've thought of; who are your style icons of film and television?
