East vs. West

"East coast girls are hip/I really digs those styles they wear.......The West coast has the sunshine and girls all get so tan"


Across the continent of North American there are differences between the two sides. Thre are some differences between the two coasts as well. If the west coast is The O.C's Marissa Cooper (R.I.P, lol), then the east coast is Gossip Girl's Blair Waldorf.It's the glossy lip and beachy hair versus red lipstick and blunt bangs. With this difference in locale and attitude I decided to do an outfit for each coast, based on each coast's major cities, Los Angelos and New York.This isn't a rap battle, it's a fashion battle.

West Coast

Lauren Conrad Collection "London" top

Designed by the quintessential California girl of our day, Lauren Conrad (of The Hills and Laguna Beach fame
this breezy white top encapsulates breezy Cali cool. You can get one at http://laurenconrad.seenon.com/ .

J Brand Straight Leg Jeans

J Brand jeans are favourites of the stars and the straight fit is current, but not constricting. You can get them at www.shopbop.com

Charming Leaves Necklace

A cute pendent necklace with a slightly earthy feel is first for the laid-back west coast. This necklace is from www.urbanoutfitters.com

Skyway Sandal

Only in L.A could you wear sandals in January. Sandals from www.urbanoutfitters.com


East Coast

MK2K Bubble Tunic Dress

Chic, trendy and most importantly,black.

Sparkle and Fade Red Opaque Tights

A pop of statement colour to a black outfit.

Tory Burch Reva Flats in Black

The perfect black flat from a trendy designer. www.neimanmarcus.com


These are kind of stereotypical versions of an outfit for each city. I know everyone in New York doesn't trot around in Tory Burch flats. I based it on the styles of the O.C and Gossip girl. I hoped you liked my east vs. west coast outfits and stay tuned for a Canadian version!
