CALIFORNIA CLOSET

You know those books you read as a kid that always seemed to have the perfect summer where the girl meets the guy and falls in love la-de-da kinda deal? Well, this summer, my summer, was kind of like one of those in the books. Only instead of falling in love with a boy, I fell fast and hard for TV & Film Production. (Yeah, okay, that might sound super cheesy and nerdy… but it’s the best way I could articulate it, haha). I spent the majority of my summer on set, learning the ins and outs of the business, meeting actors, directors and crew. I was so enthralled with the whole experience and just kept getting deeper in and realizing that I had to, Must, NEED to be part of this the rest of my life. Whether I am the one on the screen or designing the costumes, I am so enamored with film production and all the magic and work that goes into episodes & movies. In honor of my recent episodes with Pretty Little Liars, this post is dedicated to their incredible costume and styling.

So although I did not get to meet their costume designer and stylist, I did, however, meet these lovely ladies.

And might I add, they are even prettier (& skinnier) in person, if that’s possible.

I remember reading the “Pretty Little Liars” books back in like fifth or sixth grade... but I don’t think I ever imagined how impeccable their wardrobe would be! Their stylist, Mandi Line, has done an absolutely incredible job styling the girls individually. From edgy & a little funky at times Aria, to girly & chic Hanna, rocker/sporty Emily and preppy & romantic Spencer, she has truly nailed each one flawlessly!

Here are a few of my favorite outfits from the past season or so

I'd definitely say I'm more drawn to Aria's style (Lucy Hale), as I like a bit darker and edgier pieces. But I do have days where I adore Hanna's (Ashley Benson) funky & girly style or want to be more rocker like Spencer (Shea Mitchell).
