How to dress like Elena Gilbert

I am obsessed with Vamipre Diaries. Its one of those shows that gives me the creeps, but it is so good that I just cant tear my eyes away from the screen. Elena Gilbert played by Nina Dobrev has a very simple and effortless style, and it's definetly very easy to copy.


I noticed she wears alot of solid colored shirts, paired with demin jeans, shorts, or skirt. The colors are usually not extremely bright, they are usually more mellow and darker. ex:  maroon, plum-purple, grey, black, and blood red.  






 She also wears black or brown leather jackets, which adds more of a biker look to her plain outfits, but is still quite casual.
Alot of her plain shirts have lace detailing, which adds a sort of sexy effortless vibe. These shirts are very easy to find in most stores. Abercrombie and fitch, american eagle, abercrombie, hollister, etc.

Makeup and Hair:
Elena normally wears her hair down, but occasionally (like in this picture) she has it up in a ponytail.
As for makeup, it looks like she's not wearing any makeup at all, she looks very natural but still very pretty.  She does have very long and defined eyelashes, and maybe a bit of brown eyeliner on the upperlashline, to play up her eyes. But from what I can tell, no blush or eyeshadow.

Fashion Icon: Selena Gomez

Selena Gomez is probably one of my biggest role models and fashion inspirations. She dresses very casual cool, very effortless, but still very put together.







1. Jeans
Selena gomez is almost always seen in jeans in her street looks. She pairs them with T-shirts for a casual vibe, or even dresses it up with a more flowy and pretty shirt.

2. Silver Hoop earrings
In most of her looks, Selena usually keeps the accessories to a minimum, but she likes to sport her silver hoop earrings. They give more boho vibe, and are a simple accessory to add some glam to the outfit.

3. Flats and flipflops
For her street looks, usually selena is wearing either flipflops or flats. They are alot more comfortable than walking around in heels, and are also easy to pair with any outfit.

Fall fashion essentials

While trends come and go, there are some essentials that I believe everyone should have in their closet.  These are some essentials that I think are pretty necessary for the fall season.

1. Jean Jackets
Jean jackets in all shapes and colors are perfect for the fall season. You can throw on one of these over almost every outfit; they'll keep you warm and stylish for chilly weather. They also give a more casual vibe, great for looking effortless and cool.

2. Booties

Every fall season, I love taking out my booties and pairing them with different outfits. They come in so many different shapes and colors, and you can get them with heels or no heels. You can make a simple outfit of just jeans and a t-shirt so much cuter with a pair of awesome booties.

3. Scarves

Scarves are great for a fashion fix. They can really spice up your outfit by giving texture and color. They come in all different patterns and colors, and they are relatively cheap in places like forever21 and H&M. When I have a formal event to go to, I like to use a large and pretty scarf as a shawl, in case I get chilly in my dress. If you have a smaller scarf, it can also be used as a head-wrap, headband, or a belt. Scarves are great for the colder seasons becasue they provide warmth and are super comfortable.
