Modern Girl Style: Lily Allen

I'll admit I became aware of Lily Allen after my husband returned from a bachelor party in Las Vegas. I love magazines so he picked up a bunch and there was one that had Lily Allen on the cover. I instantly loved her retro edge!  For this post, I'm sprinkling in some music and style tips. I hope you she sparks your imagination and style decisions.








Need to get away from everything? Want to get famous?

Flower prints, retro attitude, and sleek updos will do the trick!



These picks come from Who What Wear...



Lily Allen makeup tends to be very mostly natural, but when she wants to play up an evening look she goes for drama!

The Original Devil Wears Prada

Audrey Hepburn's essence changed American culture with her grace, beauty, and humor. In Funny Face, released in 1957, Audrey Hepburn is a young awkward girl that suddenly becomes the hottest model in all the magazines. It's a classic story in which the girl transforms into a stunning woman, with a few lessons in modeling and love. These are some of my favorite film stills.

What is it about the magazine industry that always has the magazine editor playing the evil b-----? Allow me to compare the magazine editors from Funny Face and Devil Wears Prada. This is going to be fun...

Okay, Meryl Streep takes the award for most attitude, but maybe things in the magazine business haven't changed that much from the 50's.

Want some Funny Face style? Stylecaster pulled together a Jill Sander French Intellectual look that might just channel your inner Audrey.
