A Little Something for the Men Out There

While most fashion blogs these days cater to women, I decided to do a short post for the men out there (who may have heard of PLL because of their girlfriend's, sister's, daughter's, etc).
The one thing about Pretty Little Liars that makes it such a good show is the beautiful eye candy featured every week. From Caleb to Toby, I'll show you some of my favorite looks from the men on PLL, and help you find that same exact look to recreate in your closet.


Toby Cavanaugh, Rosewood's bad-boy-turned-good, has a simple, all-American boy, fashion sense.

This plaid shirt, which I believe works well on any body type, can be easily put together with any color undershirt underneath (because it's a neutral color), or you can go solo. Pair it with a pair of blue, rugged looking, jeans, and the girls will definitely be all over you. Try here for the shirt, and here for a nice pair of fresh jeans. 

For the guys who like a "rocker look," definitely turn towards Caleb Rivers, who has a dark past, but a sweet soul, on Pretty Little Liars. Every episode that he's in, you can see Caleb wearing dark colors, jackets, and beanies. My favorite look, however, is when he wears a t-shirt with a leather jacket, and jeans. 

Also wearing a plaid shirt (which can be found easily at any clothing store,) Caleb pairs this look with a gray t-shirt and leather jacket. Caleb loves wearing straight jeans, and boots such as these. For the upper look, try this leather jacket for a biker look. Pair any color t-shirt underneath, whether it's white or red for a pop of color, or black/gray for a more dark look. 

Ezra Fitz, the teacher/lover/bad guy (that's all I will say for those who haven't seen the show) is the character everyone loves to watch. He has different fashion choices, whether it's his street wear, or his professional look when he's teaching at Rosewood High School. He's usually seen walking around Rosewood High in a dress shirt, tie, and vest. 

For this look, any simple dress shirt would do, depending on your own style. Pair it with a vest, try this one for a cheap, yet sophisticated look. Add a tie, your preference, and pair with dark rinse or black jeans (if your job allows), which can be found here. 

If you prefer a more casual look, seen below:

Try adding a tan jacket, this one that I found here is leather and a little more on the expensive side. If you don't like tan, any color would do. I found a similar shirt, seen here that he paired with the jacket.  To complete the look, any pair of jeans would do (American Eagle has the best) and any shoes would do.

Simple Makeup Tips from Pretty Little Liars

The best part about watching a TV show such as this, is taking a look at the beautiful makeup on the cast of Pretty Little Liars.

What's best about the show is the fact that most of the girls wear very little makeup (if any, sometimes). It's easy to recreate by using simple products you can find at your local drug store or beauty supply store.

Let's take a look at the makeup on each of the four main characters.

ARIA: 

For this subtle look, use a liquid foundation, such as Maybelline Dream Smooth Mousse, to get that shiny, but clean effect. For the eyes, use a tint of brown eyeshadow first, then use a liquid eyeliner (my favorite is the N.Y.C. HD Felt Tip Liquid Eyeliner in Soft Black). To top it off, use a volumizing mascara to add to the intensity of her eyelashes. Try using Maybelline Illegal Length Fiber Extensions Mascara. Add some soft blush to the cheeks, then use a soft pink lip stain for the lips, any brand that you feel comfortable with. Following all of these steps will recreate Aria's subtle, but beautiful, look seen here.

EMILY:

The one thing I love about Emily's character is that she always wears very minimal amounts of makeup. With this look, the three thing's you'll need are bronzer, mascara and lip stain. 

Take some bronzer, I suggest Almay Smart Shade Powder Bronzer (because it contours to the color of your face, and blends in perfectly). Use the bronzer, and with a bronzing brush, gently swipe up and down your cheekbones, until you can see a slight difference in the color on your skin. 

For mascara, anything will do, but since it's not as volumizing as Aria's, I suggest using something like CoverGirl Lash Blast mascara. For the lip stain, a soft pink, like CoverGirl Outlast Lipstain Everbloom Kiss, will do. 

SPENCER: 

For one of the more dramatic looks, featured in one of the special Halloween episodes on the show, Spencer looks stunning in smoky eye/red lip combination. To start, use some blush to contour your face. Next, for the eyes, use a combination of silver and black eyeshadow. Mix it together, and add silver eyeshadow in the corners. The combination of silver/black gives it a classy, smoky eye look. For the eyelashes, I suggest using falsies (but only for a few hours or so); Ardell fashion lashes are the best ones to use. Last but not least, the red lipstick, which totally ties this whole look together, NYX Lipstick in Chic Red would work best. 

HANNA: 

Hanna's look is extremely subtle, but still completely perfect. For this look, a powder foundation works better, because it doesn't look as shiny, as say Aria's above. Almay Smart Shade Loose Powder would work best, because it matches your skin tone perfectly. Apply using a foundation brush, so that the powder doesn't go all over the place (it can get a little messy). For her eyes, a soft brown eyeshadow along with a subtle, not too dramatic, liquid eyeliner would do. For the lashes, use a mascara that is in between a volumizer and a clump crusher (the last thing you want is for clumps in your mascara). Maybelline Volum' Express Mega Plush would probably work well for this look, because the volume isn't that major with that brand. Finally, a soft pink/peach lipstain on the lips would work the best. N.Y.C. Smooch Proof 16 HR Lipstain, Orange on the Go, would finish off this look. 

The best thing about all of these products is that they are mostly all $10 or less :)
