Style Icon: Alexa Chung

I feel as though this blog is almost urgent and irrelevant to any other blog I've ever posted but I'm excited about the idea! Ever since the delivery man arrived this morning -whilst I was singing a song from Matilda the musical at the top of my voice (cringe)  - and passed me the much anticipated amazon parcel, I have this sudden urge to become Alexa Chung. 

Indeed, I had ordered the book 'IT - Alexa Chung' and 10 minutes after opening it I had to pace myself to actually spare a little bit of daily enjoyment and not read it all in one day. 

I love Alexa's style. She is that British idol who brings a French elegance along with inspiration from movies and often flaunts the 60's edge. Her wardrobe must be heaven. I wonder if she ever has clear outs because I volunteer. She showcases effortless stripes, neutral shades, oversized coats, loafers (love these) even attempts the tomboy look and looks great in all of these looks. 

I'm inspired to dig deep into the darkened layers of my wardrobe and recreate something you can't go to a shop and buy.
