Alright dear sweet readers of mine, here is another fun and happenin’ fashion game that I’ve created for myself to share with you guys every month that also flexes my styling muscles and allows me to pretend that I have tons of money to spend on tons of clothes. Le sigh. This game is called Celebrity Outfit Mash-Up Challenge!! Sounds pretty epic, and that’s because it is. I started off the creation of this game by making two lists: the first list is 9 celebrities and 1 wild card option, the second is 9 locations or situations and 1 wild card option. Then I took my original lists, put them through the random number generator and mixed them all up. A fun picture is below.
Now based on these mash-ups, I’m challenging myself to create an outfit for this celebrity when they’re in this situation, and then… the end. So for all the squealing people who noticed who is first in line for the styling extravaganza, may I present Justin Bieber- At the Airport.
What do you think? Well, I guess no one can answer me, so I’ll tell you what I think. When travelling (as I never do), I hear that the smartest way to dress and look fashionable is all about rocking layers, which is why I gave the Biebs a smart plaid shirt to wear underneath a cardigan that he can cuddle up in when he’s cold or easily throw in his little messenger bag to roll up his shirtsleeves when it’s warm. I’ve also prepared him with a hat and sunglasses that look super cool regardless of whether he actually needs it or not, and of course the man needs his super happenin’ kicks. And being the cunning little stylist that I am, I would definitely throw a magic eraser (complete with instructions) into his bag to clean up any scuffs or dirt he may pick up on them on the way. See guys? I understand the importance of clean shoes.
And there you have it! Girls can totally rock a similar look to this as well- and can you imagine Selena Gomez in her own little plaid shirt and cardigan? And them holding hands and staring at each other romantically as they go down the moving sidewalk? I actually don’t know whether to “Awww” or whether to barf. I’m a little ashamed of myself.
. I’m not really too into magazines but I do like Nylon.

So I have to apologize dear readers for my slight vacation that I’ve been on, but I’m back after finishing school and celebrating my 22nd birthday (I can’t believe I just admitted that) to start off the merry merry month of May with a brand new outfit post!
Now I’m sure that I’ve made it clear by now that I am somewhat of a girlie-girl when it comes to my fashion choices throughout the years. In fact, I have an SJP-esque tutu skirt in my closet. That I actually wear. With complete seriousness. But this decidedly princessy influence is not the only source that I find fashion inspiration from, no no! In fact, I get inspired by almost everything I watch, see, hear, feel, smell… even taste. Yep, that’s all the senses. I never tie myself down to one way of dressing (or thinking, fashion and otherwise) and although it used to really bother me that I would have trouble identifying my style of dressing for the benefit of others, I’m not so bothered anymore being a bit of a style chameleon. Now that doesn’t mean that tomorrow I’m going to go out in 6-inch platforms, glitter pants and a silk shirt and an Afro. That’s just weird, and illegal in some states. But on a day like the one when these pictures were taken, a beautifully sunny but run-of-the-mill workday, I wanted to spice things up with some boho-inspired pieces. And oh fine, I was depressed that I wasn’t at Coachella, but come on- can’t a girl dreamily accessorize?
But do you see how easy this is, so much so that it’s worthy of the fashion mission stamp? It’s time to put down the fashion labels, or maybe instead of putting them down, we can put more on! You can be an elegant goth, a sexy tomboy, a girly rocker- it’s all possible! Why don’t you try putting together outfits that are true to your style and personality while still taking inspiration from different and unlikely sources that make you happy- a movie, a song, a time period, a celebrity, a friend… need I go on?
Yes I do! Because (drum roll please!) YOU COULD WIN THIS JEWELLERY! Yep, that’s right! My bracelet, earrings and necklace, courtesy of Ardene, could be yours with a few clicks- in celebration of my new Mission:Fashionable Facebook page! Here are the rules:
GOOD LUCK!! I can’t wait to hear what inspires all you dear and lovely and wonderful readers! And I secretly hope someone out there is wearing glitter pants.
<3, L.
