Pretty Little Liars, Hanna Marin Inspired Outfits

     Hey everyone, so today I'm finally back on track with my Pretty Little Liars Inspired Outfit series. If you are not familiar with this series it's basically where I try to recreate 2-3 outfits whore by the main characters on the show Pretty Little Liars the hit T.V. series on ABC Family, for a more affordable price, but with similar clothing pieces. I will Pretty Little Liars linked at the bottom. So about two posts back, I did the first of this series, where I recreated two of Aria Montgomery's outfits. Today I'm doing the second of the series, an outfit inspiration from Hanna Marin. Hanna Marin on the show, is played by Ashley Benson. On the show Hanna is the most girly out of all the other girls, she has a bold and classic style, all her outfits are always so put together and preppy. She loves to layer pieces of clothing, have bright pops of color in her outfits and have statement pieces.

                                                                            Original Outfit #1
  The first outfit is probably the go-to Hanna outfit, it has all the elements of Hanna's style, shear tops, peplum skirts, statement accessories and bright pops of color. It is recreated from episode 19 season 3 "What Becomes of the Broken-Hearted", Instead of lace on top, I found a shear white long sleeve top that looks amazing with the outfit, and well suiting Hanna's style. For bottoms I found a black peplum skirt, exactly alike for half the Hanna's original skirt. For Hanna's neon yellow collar, it was originally from Zara for $15, but it was sold out so I found a really cute and close match, of a neon statement block necklace. For shoes I just with some black platform sandals. To tight the outfit together, I belted the skirt with a skinny neon belt. Also in the episode Hanna had a plaid blazer, but any blazer would be fine.

  Original Outfit #2

  The second outfit is one of more simply and casual outfits for Hanna's style. The outfit is fun and colorful. The top is a simple orange tank, that is nice and flowy. My favorite part of this outfit would have to be Hanna's pattern pants. The colors look so fun and screams spring to me. I actually found the original pair Hanna wore, it's by Nordstrom retailed for $76.
To tone down the colors go for a pair of neutral wedges. To finish the look I added a burnt orange Rebecca Minkoff cross body. This outfit can be easily recreated, you can mix and match the different colors.

Spring Break Lookbook 2013

Spring Break Lookbook


      Spring is well on its way here, and it's time to fill your closets with spring wardrobe. Put away those winter coats and chunky sweaters. Two of this spring's trends is black and white, and pastels. Also Spring break is here for most of you in school, today I put together four different outfits for you guys, that will fit almost any activity.
    Outfit #1: The first outfit is comfy and casual, its great for a day handing out if friends. I chose a graphic tank paired with a great pair of mint pastel jeans. If it gets chilly put over a gray cardigan to compliment the mint in the jeans. For shoes you want to stay casual so I chose a pair of coral Vans, also bringing out some of the coral in the graphic tank.
      Outfit #2:  The second outfit is my go to outfit for those hot days during vacation. The pastel pink top is flowy any light weight, also the polka-dots are super cute. Studded shorts are really in this season, I paired the top with some medium wash, high waist, studded shorts. Top it all of, the perfect pair of gladiator sandals.
       Outfit #3:  The next outfit is by far my favorite, it is so girly and feminine. It is a great outfit for going out, and can be worn right to dinner. The white lace top looks so cute with the black, tiger lily chiffon, skater skirt. Tiger lilies are a popular pattern this spring, and both the top and skirt are super girly. To tone it down a bit, and have comfy shoes to walk in, have a good pair of lace up boots. Here I chose a pair of super comfortable of black velvet material, combat boots by Dr. Marten. They are on the pricier side, but are easily dupable. 
        Outfit #4:  The last outfit is really easy and simply, but still cute. For the top I chose   a denim, sleeveless shirt. The white collar is really nice, because it gives a color block affect. Instead of paired blue denim, on blue denim, I chose a pair of pastel pink, color denims. To give the outfit more pattern and texture to the outfit, I picked my favorite pair of cream colored, lace TOMS.
