Fashion bloggers can help you update your look<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\"UTNuKellyColumn\"<\/a>I am the first to admit that my fashion inspiration is often pirated from my favorite bloggers.\u00a0 I love to steal their style and transform it into my own personal look.\u00a0 One of my favorites is Blair Eadie from \u201cAtlantic Pacific\u201d.\u00a0 Check out her blog here: \u00a0http:\/\/atlantic-pacific.blogspot.com<\/b><\/a><\/p>\n

She is effortlessly chic and impeccably tailored.\u00a0 ALL THE TIME.\u00a0 I find myself feeling simultaneously inspired and annoyed when I peruse her posts.\u00a0 Does she always get it right?\u00a0 The answer is \u201cyes\u201d (which, frankly, is the irritating part). \u00a0BUT, we can all learn something from her.<\/p>\n

For example, here is Blair in a \u201ccasual\u201d everyday outfit:<\/p>\n

Now, this is every bit as easy as sweatpants, but she looks soooooooo cool and put together!\u00a0 Loving the hat and the big handbag.\u00a0 Ugh, perfection.<\/p>\n

Date Night Look:<\/p>\n

Notice the mix of pattern and texture in the top and skirt.\u00a0 The reason this works is that she has combined a bold black and white plaid with a smaller tweed pattern in the same color palette.\u00a0 The jean jacket and Chanel pin (I die!) make her look hip, trendy and classic all at the same time.<\/p>\n

She loves JCrew and Starbucks (which makes us practically soul sisters)<\/p>\n

I love the combination of primary colors.\u00a0 The chunky pearl necklace makes the cable knit sweater and ankle pant seem dressy.\u00a0 Coordinating your make-up (in this case, the orange lip) becomes another accessory when it matches a piece of clothing.\u00a0 And, splurging on fabulous sunglasses is always a great idea in my book.<\/p>\n
