Style Muse: Laura Marling

I really love the simplicity of Laura's style. It's very "intelligent dreamer." She usually wears lots of classic shapes and solid colors, and then pairs them with a singular delicate pendant necklace or teensy hoop earrings. She also wears hardly any makeup, which gives her a refreshingly natural, windblown-elf sort of look. Her hairstyle changes rather a lot (pixie cut, superblonde, then brunette, ballerina bun, bangs, no bangs, wavy-messy-down, pulled back ponytail...) but it's always something that winds up looking easybreezy, effortless, and thoughtful all at once.

She looks the way she sounds...
