how to dress like: aria montgomery

Pretty Little Liars may not be the best of shows- but let's face it: it's addicting. It reminds me of Gossip Girl, only Pretty Little Liars is much darker, more subdued, and set in the suburbs. I'm especially a fan of the style on the show- in particular the character of Aria Montgomery.

Aria has just returned from a year in Iceland, and European style has definitely been incorporated into her wardrobe. Aria loves a darker

palette. Her style can be described as a mix of trendy and bohemian.

Here are some tips to dressing like Aria:

1. Lace

The lace trend is hanging around this season, and Aria can't get enough of it. Whether it's a pair of tights or a top, lace is a staple in Aria's wardrobe. Unfortunately- lace can easily make an outfit look trashy, or like you're trying too hard. To avoid this, Aria pairs delicate lace with items that are more rugged, such as denim or combat boots. Juxtaposition is what Aria's style is all about- both girly and edgy.

2. Bohemian

Aria is a free-spirit, and this translates into some of her whimsical outfit choices. She'll opt for floral prints, layering, and long jewelry. Of course, Aria never strays too far from her edgy look, which brings me to my next point...

3. Leather

While Aria is certainly not a tomboy, she isn't exactly a girly girl, either. She's rough around the edges but still maintains her feminine charm. She expresses this by incorporating leather into many of her outfits. Whether it's a jacket, a satchel, or simple boots, Aria can often be seen wearing something leather. It's important to remember not to overwhelm yourself in leather- it's far from a motorcycle gang look. Aria simply likes a little bit of leather to balance the more feminine aspects of her outfits.

Pretty Little Liars is on tonight at 8/7 c...who's excited? I know I am!

It was GORGEOUS out today. I poked around on Newbury Street for a while and of course went to Starbucks. (Did you know that you can order a chai frappucino now?! yum.)

I wore this:

Ruffle-tiered skirt, ABS by Allen Schwartz. Top, Madewell. Bershka ankle boots.

I'm crossing my fingers for nice weather the rest of the week. I'm in desperate need of a beach day!

(not so basic) wardrobe basics

Every girl needs some fashionable basics in her wardrobe. LBDs, cardigans, dark-wash jeans, simple tanks and tees in a multitude of neutral colors. But you already knew that, didn't you?

What really makes an outfit are the items that you pair with your basics; that bright pop of color, those killer stilettos, the statement piece.

Here is my take on some not-so-basic essentials to completing your wardrobe:

1. Nude Pumps

Nude is the new black when it comes to pumps. It's a neutral, so it goes well with almost anything. The great thing about nude pumps is that they make your legs seem miles longer!

2. A Body Con Dress

Body Con dresses in basic colors are great wardrobe staples, simply because they are so versatile. You can add a full skirt for a daytime look, or you can dress it up to go out at night! American Apparel has a pretty good selection of Body Con dresses that aren't too expensive.

3. A Timepiece

One that you want to wear every day! I'm partial to Rolex, but I also love Michael Kors.

4. Standout Nail Polish

I'm loving jade right now.

5. A Biker Jacket

Biker jackets are as wearable as cardigans. I throw mine on over almost anything!

What are your wardrobe essentials? Let me know!
