Style Icon Saturdays by Cate Featuring Ashley Olsen

I am a true child of the 90's and Full House was my favourite show as a child and I have been a fan of the Olsen twins ever since.

Although many girls my age related to Mary-Kate and her tomboy edge, I was always a fan of Ashley and her girly style. Now that the twins are older and their style has evolved, I still find myself relating to Ashley and her sense of style.

Her style is quite unique and often times very casual, which if you know me that is exactly what I go for.

All Black is Always Chic

Ashley is a big fan of the All Black look and she always keeps it looking less goth and more street chic either with a great pair of heels or even Birkenstocks.

A Button Down is a Good Idea

It doesn't matter is Ashley is walking the streets of New York or Los Angeles or if she's sitting front row at the latest designer runway show, she can take a classic button down either pair it with jeans or a skirt and it looks appropriate and effortless. 

You CAN Mix Black and Navy

Okay, I know a lot of people are not a fan of the navy and black colour combo but I always have been and Ashley seems to be as well and she does it really well.

Adding a Good Pair of Heels Makes an Outfit

Regardless of where she is, at a fancy event, or grabbing a cup of coffee, Ashley takes her outfits to the next level with great heels.

Wear a Cool Jacket

Whether it's leather or tweed, Ashley doesn't skimp especially on her jackets. They are just as cool as the rest of her outfit. 

Smokey Eyes on the Red Carpet are a Must

On the Red Carpet, Ashley loves to play up her big eyes by making sure to always add lots of black eyeliner and gold smokey, shimmery eyes. 

When in Doubt: Rock a Headband

I love headbands, I own a lot of them and so does Ashley and she always looks fabulous in them. 

These are just some of the looks that Ashley wears that I am a huge fan of. I like that she loves to mix in different elements of styles into every look and she certainly isn't afraid to dress the way she wants, when she wants. 

We could all learn to be a bit more bolder with our styles and also to not be afraid of mixing trends or wearing things other people may not like as long as it makes us happy!

-Cate.
