Style Spotlight: ABC Family's Pretty Little Liars


After the mysterious death of their friend Allison, Aria (Lucy Hale), Emily (Shay Mitchell), Spencer (Trioan Bellesario), and Hannah (Ashley Benson), are struggling to hold on to the secrets that only they share--so they thought. With a detective that's always on their case and mysterious text messages from a person named "A.", those secrets are sure to be revealed in time. Mysterious and suspenseful, "Pretty Little Liars" has becone of one of the summer's biggest hits...and my new favorite show!


Though many secrets are being witheld, there's one thing that is no mystery: the fashion! As a fashionista, my eyes are always open looking for what's hot, and the styling on the show has really caught my attention and is one thing that I look forward to from week to week.


Each one of the Rosewood girls has a different persona, making each girl's style very different. Emily is the jock of the group, so her clothes are kept sporty, comfortable, and slightly beachy; Aria is the artsy one (probably my favorite!) so her style is more bohemian and takes a lot of fashion risks; Spencer is the brains of the group and is from kind of a snobby family, so her style is, what I call, "preppy with a kick"; and Hannah is the school's new "it" girl, therefore, as expected, she loves her labels. Knowing this, you can take inspiration from the character who you feel your style is most similar to.


Surprisingly enough, it's not so hard for young women to achieve the looks without breaking the bank. Although occasionally the characters do wear high-end designers like Rebecca Taylor, Michael Kors, and Marc Jacobs, a lot of times the pieces are affordable brands like Urban Outfitters, J. Crew, and my FAAAAAAVORITE store, Forever 21. On a kind-of-disappointing note (well...for me), a lot of items worn are vintage and/or come from one-of-a-kind specialty shops and boutiques.

I went CRAAAZY when I saw Aria (Lucy Hale) wearing this gorgeous feather earring (It's why I did this post!). It's something that's very unique and really stands out and makes a statement...definitely something I would wear! This one's actually from a specialty shop, but feather earrings are starting to become hot...so hopefully I'll find something similar! =)




Hannah (Ashley Benson) looks cute while feeling guilty as she wears a ruffled top, tailored blazer, and tailor shorts accompanied by a brown satchel.






Aria (Lucy Hale) comes in from a rainy rendezvous. Even drenched in rain, she stays stylish in a bohemian dress and belt worn with a grey vest and a navy trench coat with floral interior and sleeves.






Emily (Shay Mitchell) goes to a party looking comfortable and casual in a grey striped cardigan, loose white tank with lace detail, and rolled up jeans.
