beautiful girl

So when I was on my yahoo today, a story came up for "30 Beautiful Hollywood actresses" and I pretty much died in excitement! I have an obsession with Marilyn Monroe. So much, that for our America themed sorority date function, me date and i dressed and Marilyn and JFK!

The sexy but timeless looks of these ladies have inspired my blog today! I love how some of the classic icons always look so put together and so classy! I love this nautical inspired look worn by Ava Gardner.

ALL of these pieces are from forever 21. I LOVE the navy high wasted, bandage skirt and with that blouse tucked in, it will look super chic. I felt that a red belt was too expected and I think the navy and bronze go well together, that way you have a nautical inspired look without actually being nautical.

Who are some of your favorite women of fashion, retro or modern?

Between jumping around to “Waking up in Vegas” at a Vegas themed crush party last night and seeing her so well put together in People Magazine this week, I decided Katy Perry would be my inspiration for a One Stop Shop.

“Time” and “budget” are definitely inversely proportional but in just a quick trip to your local Forever 21 (or even www.Forever21.com) and a little help from this retro vixen, you can look hot for a great price. All together, this entire outfit is just under $45 and chances are you already have a cool piece like black skinnys or an awesomely oversized ring.




All you need to finish off this look is to pin back your tousled, soft locks and create a smokey eye with natural to nude lips! Great look at a great price!
