Who better to take fashion inspiration from than street style icon and model herself, Alexa Chung. The unique gal has mastered the art of eclectic style with a mixture of boy-meets-girl and preppy-meets-edgy looks.

Alexa Chung Facts:

She's a contributing editor for British Vogue:Even before she dreamed of becoming a model, Chung had aspirations to become a journalist. "I love writing," she said. And with a steady stream of assignments on the horizon, she is honored to join a renowned group of contributors. "I know Sophie Dahl writes for them, so I am in good company."

She is obsessed with photography:After spending years in front of the camera, Chung relishes the view behind lens. "I enjoy reportage photography or portraits," she says. "And I shoot on film, just on 35mm. I like doing that for me."

THERE ARE FIVE AWESOME BEAUTY PRODUCTS SHE CAN’T LIVE WITHOUT.  “Papaw is a favourite, which I’m planning on stocking up on while I’m here. I’m an avid fan of moisturising, too. I’m addicted to it, actually. I love Weleda Baby Calendula Face Cream, which I slather onto my face morning, noon, and night. (I love) Chanel black liquid liner, and for the lips I like to mix things together. M.A.C has this one lipstick called Vegas Volt, which I mix with a light concealer to create a salmon colour. I want my lips to look like salmon. (With nails,) Essie is a good brand, or OPI. I love coral. I’m sort of addicted to coral.”

SHE THINKS BLOGGERS ARE PRETTY ACE. “I do think the rise of the blogger is such an interesting phase in our modern times because I grew up in the middle of the countryside and would’ve loved to be involved in fashion. I think it’s brilliant young women get to feel a part of the fashion industry.”
