Films capture the essence of a culture. They are little time capsules that can let us relive certain ancient periods or they can make us relate to modern day adventures. Regardless of all the great and epic stories that have been told through the magic of the silver screen, they're also great fashion inspiration. Every week I'll post a breakdown of a character's style and how you can achieve it yourself.

The Vow
Leo & Paige are a cute newlywed couple. How can they not be cute if they're played by the prince and princess of romantic comedies, Channing Tatum & Rachel McAdams (No worries, Jennifer, you're still the queen). Too bad that they live in a hollywood product, so off course something dramatic has to happen to them. After a car accident she doesn't remember that heavenly creature standing next to her hospital bed introducing himself as her husband. Girls, when Channing Tatum says that he's your husband, you do not, I repeat NOT ask questions! Unless you're as gorgeous as Rachel McAdams, then you're allowed to turn him down. Leo has to let his wife fall for him again, and he has some competition from her ex-fiance... SPOILER ALERT: He succeeds.
I don't think you would have guessed that they would find their way back to each other, it's the most surprising outcome ever of a romcom movie. I sincerely hope you'll notice the pool of sarcasm that has dripped from your screen. It's basicly a renewed version of '50 first dates' with better looking actors. But somehow I really liked it, probably because it's based on a real life experience (true story sounds too corny) from Kim and Krickitt Carpenter. Kim still doesn't remember her first years with Krickitt, but somehow they managed to get back together.
Paige
When Leo meets Paige she's a happy and bubbly woman who cut loose with her stiff family to become an artists. Her free spirit reflects in her clothing style. I would describe her as 'alternative girly'. Even though sometimes she wears some, let us say, daring prints and combinations she manages to make it look cute. After her accident, she doesn't remember anything from the point when she left her family. So it's only natural that she reaches out to them. That's when the style of her family and old friends wiggles it's way back into her closet.Bye bye artsy Paige, welcome back Ivy League girl. I must admit that her preppy side (she even colors her hair blonde) has some great outfits, even though they're less risky.
Alternative Girly

Pair a pretty white lace dress with a simple brown leather jacket. A red bow belt will accentuate your waist while providing a pop of color. A brown leather bag will match your jacket, while neutral colored ballet flats tie the outfit together without being overwhelming (the spikes on the back are a nice trendy touch). The golden necklace with heart shaped pendant, that doubles as a watch, symbolizes the eternal love of this couple. No nail polish is a wink towards her breezy personality.This fun and stylish outfit is the way to go if you want to seduce that starbucks employee who looks just like Channing.
Ivy League Chic
Start with a grey dress that doesn't show any cleavage. A navy blue cardigan will make it look less severe. Grab a small grey clutch to hold your essentials (don't try to stash your entire beauty case in it, bulky is not chic). Simple pearl earrings make everything look classy and are perfect for this 'I'm going too meet my in-laws' look. Adding a headband will certainly make things look extra preppy, so opt for an embellished one to create a trendy vibe. Paint your nails with this barely there but still noticeable pink nailpolish. Last but not least, grey pumps, because flats will make you look too boring.
