PLL Style Guide: Emily Fields

Hey guys! So, I previously posted a blog on how to dress like Hanna Marin from Pretty Little Liars. Today I decided to do another PLL Style Guide on how to dress like Emily Fields! Emily is known as the star swimmer at Rosewood High and the athletic one of the group. Her style definitely reflects her image. She dresses very sporty and tom-boyish...She definitely goes for more simple pieces. Although her style is definitely more casual and less flashy than the other girls' styles, she still always looks perfect and never boring! Want to know how to dress more like Emily Fields? Keep reading!

Mix simple, masculine pieces with bright, girly pieces to look sporty, with a feminine touch. 

In this outfit, Emily wore a denim skirt
with sneakers but added a girly touch
with the light colored striped top and light
blue cardigan. 

Emily likes to mix jeans, hoodies and sneakers with very feminine, girly accessories and other bright colored pieces of clothing.



To emulate this, maybe mix jeans and sneakers with a simple, plain top and a colored cardigan like in this outfit.

Emily always looks very comfortable and like she's ready to go do something active. 

To look comfortable and active, look for a hoodie or athletic jacket with a twist. Whether it's just being a bright color, or having a cool pattern, Emily wears simple, casual pieces with a unique twist. 

Here, she wore a standard running jacket, but being fuchsia, navy and bright green makes it stand out more than just any other plain running jacket.

To re-create this outfit, pair a colorful athletic  top/jacket with plain joggers and sneakers just like Emily would. 

                                                                  

Last but not least for the clothing portion of this guide, jewelry! 

As far as jewelry goes, Emily isn't one to wear dramatic, statement pieces. You're more likely to see her wearing small stud earrings, simple hoops, or a few delicate layered necklaces like in these photos.

For hair and makeup, Emily usually goes for a subtle, "no-makeup" look and natural looking hair. 

Emily's hair is often styled in loose, non-structured waves. To achieve this effortless look, brush your hair out to get all of the tangles out. Then, start picking out 1-2 inch random sections of hair and wrap them around a large barrel curling iron. Change up the amount of time you hold the hair around the iron for a more messy look. Let the curl drop down, and after you've curled the majority of your hair, spritz a little hairspray in and mess up the curls with your fingers. 

Her makeup is usually very natural looking. To re-create Emily's look, use a matted light brown color all over you're lid. Then, blend a darker brown into the crease and add a little bit of white, shimmery shadow to your inner corner to brighten up your eyes. As for lips, she usually wears a nude, pink matte lipstick. Sometimes she adds a clear gloss to the center of her lips to make them appear fuller. 

So that's all for today! I hope you guys enjoyed this post and found it useful. I personally love Emily's style on the show, and love finding ways to incorporate things she wears into my personal style. 

Thanks for reading! 

XOXO,

Shannon

Top 10 TV Shows to Watch this Fall/Winter

Do you ever find yourself bored, looking for something to watch, but there's nothing good on? I know I definitely do! If you live somewhere with rough winters, you know how boring and long the cold, winter months can feel. Without the sun shining, you probably won't be able to do all of the outdoor activities you can do in the summer. Here are (in my opinion) the top 10 best  TV shows worth binge-watching.

10:

Charmed- 

A supernatural drama, this show never fails to entertain! Charmed follows three sisters- Piper, Pheobe and Prue (later replaced by Paige, their long-lost half-sister) - who happen to be witches (the good kind). Throughout the show, they discover their destiny- to use their powers to battle the forces of evil and protect the mortals. Along with their battles against demonic creatures, you'll also see their normal sisterly battles and relationship drama. Give it a watch, and I promise you'll never be bored! -Starring Holly Marie Combs, Alyssa Milano, Shannon Doherty, Rose McGowan and Brian Krause. 

Slogan: Once lucky, twice smart, three times Charmed. 

9:

Ghost Whisperer- 

This fantasy drama starring Jennifer Love Hewitt and David Conrad revolves around a newlywed, Melinda Gordan, who owns an antique shop and possesses a rare gift...she has the ability to communicate with earthbound spirits- spirits who have unresolved business with the living. She uses her ability to help the spirits so they can cross over. She deals with terrifying visions, doubt from skeptics, dangerous conditions and mourning friends and family members, so she can help them get their messages to their loved ones and move to the other side. 

Slogan: The dead are talking...and she's listening. 

8:

Glee- 

If you like singing and dancing and you're looking for a light-hearted program, try Glee! Glee is a show about a diverse group of high school outcasts who form a glee club that helps them find acceptance, friends and the strength and courage to use their voices. The show shows the kids dealing with their personal issues and expressing their feelings through music. Although the premise is lighthearted- which it is at times- Glee offers a more realistic (though exaggerated) depiction of high school and deals with some heavy topics. These topics include bullying, insecurities, sexuality, death and much more. -Starring Lea Michele, Matthew Morrison, Chris Colfer and Amber Riley

Slogan: A biting comedy for the underdog in all of us. 

7:

Baby Daddy- 

A single bartender in his mid-twenties has to re-evaluate his priorities and change his lifestyle when his ex-girlfriend unexpectedly leaves a baby on his doorstep - his baby. This forces him to grow up fast. With the help of a few friends, he has to learn how to be responsible and figure out how to be the best dad he can be for his daughter. -Starring Jean-Luc Bildeau, Tahj Mowry and Derek Theler

Slogan: It's time to Dad up! 

6:

New Girl-

This show follows a bubbly, spontaneous music teacher in her mid to late twenties named Jess. After a bad breakup, she needs to find a new place to live as fast as she can. She moves into an apartment with three, single, dysfunctional guys. Nick- a jaded, law-school dropout who is disappointed in how his life is turning out, Winston- a competitive former athlete who's trying to figure out what he wants to do with the rest of his life, and Schmidt- a sometimes arrogant and flashy businessman who loves women. Seeing that Jess is naive and sometimes oblivious to a lot of things, the three guys take her under their wing and try to help her out. Starring- Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson and Max Greenfield. 

Slogan: Boys will be boys. Jess will be Jess.

Young & Hungry-

Decorating Vases and Candles

Hey guys,

Today I'm going to show you how to decorate vases and candles with twine. It's super easy and inexpensive (and so much fun!) 

What you'll need:

-a roll of twine

-vases or candles (or whatever you're gonna decorate- glass works best) 

-a hot glue gun 

-scissors

Step 1:

Take the vase  and find a starting place to glue the twine too

Step 2: 

Start wrapping the twine around in whatever design you want. You can just continue to wrap it around the vase in a spiral, or cross it over as you go around...whatever you want! The fun thing about this is that every time, it ends up different!

Step 3: 

Make sure you secure the dots of glue so it doesn't all come apart after it dries completely.

All done!
