How To Dress Like A Pretty Little Liar...

Pretty Little Liars not only has cute boys, a creepy stalker and a mysterious story line - it is also full of amazing fashion. All four girls have their own unique style from sporty to edgy, preppy to chic. You have to wonder, how can these girls have an alleged 'stalker' after them and they still have time to look fabulous even when they are going to bed? (The answer to this question is a make-up artist and a little TV magic, but we'll just pretend they are that perfect.) If you're like me, Emily, Spencer, Aria and Hannah are constantly inspiring my own personal style and I really enjoy watching how they put outfits together. Anyone can re-create the liars style from their own personal closet. Here are some tips on how you can dress to impress just like the four friends, without spending a dollar.



  Emily Fields

Emily Fields is the sporty one of the group. Her style mostly consists of jean jackets, tank tops, coloured pants and rocky band shirts. For this look I wore maroon skinny jeans, a black tank top and an acid wash jean jacket. I paired this with black combat boots. You see her wearing a lot of converse running shoes and boots. Emily is very tom-boyish so she usually wears minimal eye make-up - usually just a light brown eye shadow, a bit of eyeliner and some mascara. Top it with a bit of blush on the apples of the cheek and a neutral coloured lipstick and she's ready to go to the pool. She's a swimmer so her hair is mostly down in natural waves - for my look I did the half up half down look and just let my hair go natural. As for jewellery, Emily usually doesn't wear much. She will wear a long chain or a dog-tag necklace just to add a little flavour to her outfit. I love Emily's look because it's comfortable and simple yet still stylish and modern.






Spencer Hastings  
 Spencer Hastings is the smart one of the group and she definitely shows this through the way she dresses. She is always done up very classy and professional looking and looks as if she's always ready to make a serious business deal with 'A' at any moment. Spencer's style consists of a lot of vintage clothing - collared shirts, blazers, blouses and cardigans are most likely in her closet. For my outfit I wore a collared shirt with gold buttons down the middle, jeans that are rolled up passed the ankles and brown oxford type shoes. Spencer usually has her hair naturally down or in a headband, which I did here, or she has her hair up in a pony tail for when she's having a crazy study session. Her make-up is not far from Emily's, which is quite natural looking, mostly browns. She never usually wears anything heavy on the lip, just a neutral or pinky colour, or even a clear lipgloss. As for jewellery, a must for Miss Spencer is a watch, so she always knows the time. Again, like Emily, she doesn't go too over the top on the jewellery, she keeps it quite simple. Spencer's style is always smart and trendy. She takes the "strict uniform" look and turns it into something sleek and upscale.


 Aria Montgomery 
 The only way to describe Aria Montgomery's style is fun and edgy. She tends to layer A LOT, and she wears things that are very bohemian and indie. Aria is not afraid to throw different patterns and colours together that wouldn't necessarily go together, but she always pulls them off amazingly. For my outfit, I wore a cat faced dress from Top Shop, with black knee socks and black studded ankle boot heels. Aria's make-up is a little edgier - with a dark smokey eye and heavy contouring. For hair, she has basically done anything and everything whether it's up in a high pony tail or down in loose curls. I put my hair up in a high bun, leaving some pieces down to frame my face, and finished it with a black bandana. For jewellery, Aria wears quite 'out there' pieces such as a spider necklace or crazy feather earrings. I wore a bunch or silver bangles, big rings and brown circle-shaped earrings. Aria's fashion sense may seem crazy and over-the-top to some people, but if you have the confidence, you can rock this cool style just like her.





Hannah Marin 
Hannah Marin's style is very girly, classy and dressy. She wears a lot of lace, ruffles and printed dresses. Coloured blazers are quite popular with her style. For my outfit I paired a cream lace dress with a teal blue blazer and blue heels. You'll always see Hannah wearing some type of pump, heel or high boot. Chunky jewellery, such as big necklaces, rings and hoop earrings are Hannah's ultimate go-to accessory. I accessorized with a long chain cross necklace, hoop earrings (which you can't see) a jewelled bracelet and some knuckle rings. Hannah usually wears her hair down and curled most of the time. She will sometimes wear her hair up in a messy but cute pony tail if she's having a hard day. As for make-up, I would say Miss Marin is the girl who wears the most out of all of the liars. She usually goes for lots of eye make-up to give her blue eyes a nice pop. Hannah also tends to wear a lot of black eye liner in which I don't usually go for but with her eyes, she can definitely pull it off.

Eight Ways To Wear Leggings...

I don't know about anyone else, but in this cold, wintery weather, my favourite go-to outfits at the moment are leggings paired with just about anything. The beneficial thing about leggings is you can pair them with so many different accessories, wear them in any season and they are extremely comfy - bonus! There are millions of different ways you can sport leggings, but I'll be focusing on eight main different ways...

8 Oh That Blazer Just Don't Faze Her

 
Hilary Duff looks smart and classy, dressing up her leggings with a white v-neck, black blazer and pumps. This outfit is perfect to wear to work, a party or - if you have a book coming out anytime soon, a book signing. Accessorize by adding dangly earrings and a long chain and you're picture perfect ready. You rock Hilary, don't ever change... 

7 Be A Flirt In A Light T-Shirt

 Whether you throw on a a short fitted t-shirt or a long oversized off the shoulder t-shirt, like Lauren Conrad, this is a simple yet stylish way to wear your leggings. This look is great for running out to do some errands or, if you throw on a pair of heels like Lauren did, you automatically dress the look up and are ready for a night out for dinner with the girls. This outfit is so adorable that it will definitely make anyone else in the room run for the hills...

6 Brown Boots Get's You Hoots

One of my favourite ways to wear leggings is with brown boots. Tall brown knee boots are very in this winter season, especially with black leggings. Wear them with a smart fitted trench coat, like how Pippa Middleton did and you'll be ready to royally face that harsh winter weather in style.  

5 Give Her Hugs In those Uggs 

Okay admit it, we have all done this look at one point or another. Many call this look a fashion "don't" but I say, "why not?" Wearing leggings with Uggs is comfy and warm and I don't care what you say but I like it! Olivia Wilde showed the haters that you can still make this get-up look fashionable by adding a cute jean jacket and pink scarf. Even with this casual outfit, the paps still went wild taking her photo. 

4 Getting Slim At The Gym 

Who says you can't look cute and fashionable at the gym? If you look good you feel good, so dress to impress even if you're going to sweat it out. Ashley Benson looks trendy with coral running shoes, a matching bag, along with a purple work-out shirt. Leggings are great to wear when working out because they are easy, comfy and make your legs look long - you'll be ready to strut your stuff on that treadmill, and that's no pretty little lie.  

3 Leave The House In A Sexy Blouse 

Pairing a smart and simple white blouse with leggings is basic and easy yet looks elegant and chic. Selena Gomez's ensemble looks movie premiere ready with that gorgeous black necklace and cute pastel pink pumps. Wear this outfit to a business meeting or dinner party and all eyes will be on you, naturally. 

2 Make The Crowds Stop In A Cute Crop Top 

In the summer time, the perfect way to show off your toned and tanned tummy is with a crop top and tight leggings. Miley Cyrus looks adorable and chic with this loose grey striped crop top, leggings and patterned tennis shoes. Whether you're going to the beach or just out for a walk in the warm sun, this outfit is so simple, fun and trendy that we can't stop looking at it.

1 Don't Be Sad, Wear Some Plaid 

Plaid shirts, whether tied around your waist or used as an actual shirt always look fantastic with leggings. Lea Michele's outfit is so bold and striking, yet simple and to the point. Both plaid shirts and leggings are so comfortable, but look amazing and fashionable paired together - two gleeful benefits in one! Add the black high-heeled knee boots and you have the perfect look to hit the town with.
