My Girl Crush

I confess...I have the hugest girl crush on actress Gillian Zinser.

She plays the character Ivy in the TV series 90210. I'm not actually a big fan of the show; give me a funny, realistic TV series like 'The Inbetweeners' over the overly glamorous lives of the Beverly Hills crowd any day. But I swallow all my TV viewing snobbery for the sake of this leading lady. I absolutely adore her relaxed bohemian style; both on and off the set.

I love Gill's (that's right, we're on a first name basis now...) staple method of adding casual accessories to her outfits to dress them down and add that bit of oh-so-chic flair to them. The leather jacket and the trillby completely make the outfits.

Ooo just look at the close up of all the bright clashing jewellery. Uber street cool.

This outfit is a particular favorite of mine....and the best part is, it can be totally emulated with high street goodies! The similar look can be pieced together with a casual black unitard, some trendy vintage jewellery and these beauties...

Now to only adjust this summer beach wear style, to the cold November night of London....

Okay, I know she's not technically really wearing much in these last pictures, but I couldn't resist....just look at that face!

It is good to know though that even the epitome of cool gets it wrong sometimes. This outfit Miss Zinser wore in the summer is just plain bizarre. But hats off to you for trying G!
