Style "It" Girl: Alexa Chung

Via, via.

Maybe with the Olympics about to start I'm seeking some London flare, but regardless, Alexa Chung has got style.  Her sense of fashion is almost effortless as she pulls together unexpected combinations of prints, textures, and colors all with seemingly such ease.  Alexa will wear a gorgeous sequin skirt, but then throw on a casual menswear t-shirt on top.  She can pull off a super feminine floral pencil skirt, but then add men's smoking slippers with tassles for a much more laid back effect.  Although I'm sure she does actually put thought into her style, I wish I had that je ne said quoi that she possesses that enables her to look like she just threw something on walking out the door and it is perfect and stylish, but casual without trying too hard at the same time.  See after the jump for how to get Alexa's look...
