although not the first person to spring to mind when describing the gypsetter style, there is no denying that this little lady knows how to throw an outfit together...or two. she is best known for her preppy style of nautical dresses, shoe boots and boyfriend blazers but what us gypsy wannabes can really relate to is how effortless her style is. it appears as though she gets out of bed, leaves her hair as it is, applys little make-up and throws on the first thing that is lying about on her hip brooklyn apartment floor. ahh, if only it was that easy for the rest of us.
being named number 1 best dresser in vogue's 2009 poll and having mulberry use her as a muse for one their bags only reinstates the tv presenters impact on the fashion world.
what i love most about her though is her approach to fashion. alexa doesn't do sexy. or at least not the stereotypical ladsmag sexy that we are used to seeing other female stars filling up the tabloid fashion pages. even though she often shows off those fantastic legs in short shorts, she will usually opt for a modest baggy shirt to team with it, instantly turning the outfit from slutty to charming.
it is this approach which will make any gypsetter proud. scruffy, messy and unbelievably cool, this woman has it all. oh and just when you think she couldn't get any better, she lands herself a rockstar boyfriend in the shape of arctic monkeys frontman alex turner. jealous moi? yes. completely and utterly.
