California Love

So I know they’re fictional characters, but some of my biggest style icons have to be the girls of 90210. Not only is it one of the BEST shows ever, but the wardrobe provided for the three main girls also provides me with a major fashion fix :)


I do love the diversity in each of the characters’ styles but I find that Silver’s (Jessica Stroup) quirkiness isn’t really to my taste, although it definitely works for her, 

and although Annie’s (Shenae Grmes) wardrobe is pretty, I think it’s a bit too girly for me and looks like the kind of clothes I might have worn when I was a little younger. 
No, my favourite definately has to be AnnaLynna McCord's character, the show's resident fashionista, Naomi Clarke.  She has a far more mature style and I just love her ability to wear something so minimalistic but so eye catching at the same time.  I'm a massive fan of tailored trousers and blazers which Naomi wears a lot of but she manages to make her outfits fun and interesting at the same time.
While my budget is slightly different from hers (in that I actually have a budget and she's a major brat with a huge trust fund) I do get a lot of inspiration from her clothes and base a lot of my wardrobe choices on a similar style to hers. 


Top: Zara £7.99 Skirt: Zara (Although, someone did ask me if it was from Karen Millen, can't say that didn't feel good) £28 Shoes: Topshop £18, Bag: Asos £20, White Bracelet: Ted Baker £20, Blue Bracelet: Accessorize £12, Necklace: Freedom at Topshop £12

I think I could definately see Ms Clarke in this ensamble (or perhaps a similar one with designer labels); it's minimal and gives me a clean silhouette but there's still some colour in there and, even though it's all highstreet, it still looks pretty classy ;).

These are just a couple of my favourite Naomi outfits from the show that I've also taken inspiration from-


Colour Blocking
Yeah, I'm right in the middle of busting a move but it was the only photo I could fine where you can see the whole outfit (minus the shoes).
Top and Skirt: Zara, Bag: Asos, Necklace: Accesorize



Fusion Sari 
Okay hers is probably the most beautiful dress I've ever seen whereas mine looks decidedly more english with my cardigan and mini courts, but obviously I'm going for a more casual approach. I don't think we'll EVER see Naomi wear that dress after Ivy and Raj's wedding, but mine is more versatile, I can just switch accesories and it's suitable for many occasions, or just as a day dress :)
Dress: Monsoon £50, Cardigan: Vera Moda at Asos, not sure of price, Shoes: New Look £12 £6, Bag: Nica at Topshop £28, Accesorize £12 Bracelet:
