I'm usually pretty frustrated with
lookbook for a variety of reasons, but every so often some awesome person will pop up on my
lookbook widget and completely blow my mind. Enter Olivia Harrison, 18 year old fiery haired fashion vixen from Manchester (well, a small town right outside of Manchester). What I love about her is not only does she dress completely amazing, but she has no qualms about letting you know that she's not some rich bitch who's probably sleeping with her photographer while getting clothes handed to her on a daily basis (my translation). To quote her
lookbook profile: 'I don't own that many clothes, my looks always look the same, if this bothers you, feel free to send me some new clothes.' FUCK YES! She is a girl who works with what she has, and creates completely rad outfits based on a specific piece of clothing, shoe, or accessory. She is so talented at this that if you looked at two different outfits in a row, you wouldn't notice that the same pair of shoes or belt or jacket was in both looks. One of my favorite looks of hers is probably also her simplest: A cropped vintage tee, velvet bomber, cuffed
skinnies, white doc martens (need I remind you of my favorite shoe ever in the entire universe?), and her hair styled in a loose side 'fish' braid. Simply perfect. Also, she was featured in this month's issue of
lookbook's 'Beyond The Hype', and when I saw this I nearly squealed. It is so refreshing to read about a budding fashion icon who is also completely down to earth. To top it off, she has stunning red hair. Red hair is a fashion accessory in and of itself. And for all you ginger haters out there, fuck off. You're just jealous.
