rita the risk-taker.

Every once and a while I'll stumble onto a celebrity and just fall in love with them-- whether it be because of their music, acting, or, most of the time, style. I just so happened to stumble upon this gorgeous girl with blonde locks on Pinterest sporting some cat eyes & thigh highs, so obviously I pinned it to my 'random pretty things' board, not thinking much of it. Then I saw her again on the 'Popular' page & made it my business to find out who in the world this gorgeous, fashionable lady was!

Turns out this beauty is Rita Ora, a 22 year-old singer/songwriter and vocal powerhouse from Britain. Her debut album, Ora, debuted at #1 in the UK and her single "Hot Right Now" is nothing short of addicting (plug your headphones in & rock out here. I have been quite frequently). On top of all of her success, her blonde locks and fashion sense are also to die for-- nothing like a triple threat!

The thing I love is that she is fearless in her fashion. Her style is eclectic, alternative--and it takes risks without being too over the top or lacking class. She knows how to have fun with her wardrobe, as well as dress it up when the time allows (& never has a hair out of place). Here are some of my favorite looks:

I've been trying to mix things up lately in my wardrobe and I love how she plays with patterns, color, and texture. Nothing like a fellow blondie to inspire me to add a little fun (while maintaining class) to my closet!
