Style Crush: Taylor Tomasi Hill

The Sartorialist

Yesterday's post revolved around recreating the stylish yet functional look of one Taylor Tomasi Hill. But upon further review of her famed looks, I just had to dedicate an entire post to her many takes on fashion.

As I researched Hill's images online, I realized that I had already drawn inspiration from one of her looks almost a year ago. Last Christmas, I received the Sartorialist book, which I quickly filled with Post-Its stuck to looks I loved. One of my first swoon-worthy Post-Its awarded itself to the picture featured above. Hill's simple tank and plain black pencil skirt are quickly elevated (literally and figuratively) by her strappy cone heels and stackable bangles. Yet, she still manages to look so cool and carefree. Her style without attitude makes her look seem so attainable.

Here are some more of my favorite shots...

Hill's style seems to evolve around experimentation as well as a love for the classics. Motorcycle boots with tweed jackets? Check. Tee shirts and statement jewelry? Check. Signature red hair next to cat-eye sunglasses? Check, check, CHECK! And don't forget the necessary nonchalance!

It's fun to see simple clothing get a boost by accessories with personality. This winter is a great time to invest in classics such as tweed blazers and trench coats and then amp them up with faux leather leggings or faux fur. You'll find that great staple items are always a smart buy. But remember to have fun with the extras, a la Taylor!

Style Snatcher (On a Budget)


Taylor Tomasi Hill has emerged as many fashion insider's favorite It girl, influencing the way we dress and shop without some of us even realizing it! Even if you haven't heard of her yet, chances are you're already familiar with her work as the accessories editor for Marie Claire. Her personal style definitely reflects her accessories-focused approach to fashion, enabling her to turn the most basic wardrobe staples into fantastically put-together outfits.

The look above has me pining for winter days out and about...and over-the-knee boots. Hill's base for her outfit is really quite simple- a grey sweater dress and opaque tights with boots. But layer on the fur vest, cable knit scarf and fingerless gloves plus up the cool factor on the boots and add an infamous vintage Chanel bag and we're suddenly in serious fashion territory!

Here's my style snatch of her fabulous wintertime outfit- scaled down to real world prices. After all, there's no need to blow it out of the water when it comes to your accessories, especially if your purchases are seriously trendy...


Sparkle & Fade sweater dress from Urban Outfitters- $48



Rachel Rachel Roy Faux Fur Vest from Macy's- $99


Merona Cashmere Scarf from Target- $24.99


Guess Riselan Over the Knee Boot from Macy's- $139.30


Diane Von Furstenberg Parcment Fingerless Gloves from Shopbop- $98

Chanel Vintage 2.55 quilted bag from Luxe Voute- $825 (similar)

Sorry to blow the real world budget on the Chanel bag, ladies, but for some accessories, there is no replacement...I think Hill would agree.
