Lindsay Lohan...her life is a trainwreck, but her style is still chic

Lindsay Lohan emerged as a lovable child star in flicks such as The Parent Trap II and Life-Size. These days however, she's become TMZ's favorite accident waiting to happen...literally. It seems like everytime I turn around, she's either stumbling out of a night club with BFF Samanta Ronson, or vowing sobriety the next morning. Either way, j'adore vraiment her style.


Here she is wearing the Signature Lohan Look...grayscale, leggings, leather handbag, and boots. The bag is by Rebecca Minkoff...and it is a beauty.











I've never heard that name before, so I went ahead and did some research on this designer. Turns out, she is not simply a one-hit-wonder. Below are just a few examples of her genius.

Rebecca Minkoff Small Nikki Hobo $600.00
Rebecca Minkoff Matinee $625.00
Rebecca Minkoff Royal Blue Tote $595.00


I did even more research and turns out, Ms. Lohan is not the only celeb with a Minkoff beauty draped on her arm...


Hilary Duff

Hayden Panettiere

Back to Lohan. Another facet to her signature style is eyewear. I can't remember the last time I saw a picture of her without a pair of cooler-than-cool shades. She may be responsible for bringing back the Ray-bans.





And again, she's not the only one...

Ray-Ban Wayfarer $139.00
Rachel Bilson



Lindsay Lohan Leggings. This should be her official title or something. Yet another one of her signatures is the ever-present leggings paired with a leather boot. No matter how often she dons this combo, it never seems to get old. Completely unfair. If I wore leggings even half as much as she does, I would never hear the end of it.



The last, and probably most recognizable facet of the Lindsay Lohan Look is the chameleon-esque transformation. In other words, one day she's a red-head, the next day she has Audrey Hapburn black hair, and the next day she's Miami platinum blonde! She gets to live the best of three worlds! NOT FAIR.








Which do you like best?

The funniest (if not saddest) part about Lindsay Lohan's little shopping habit is that she's going broke!!! MediaTakeOut.com states that Ms. Lohan has nearly spent all of her $30M by shopping it all away! I can't even imagine how someone who dresses so casually (note the leggings-boots-tshirt uniform mentioned above), can spend even 1/3 of that.

Anyway, Lohan is now reportedly on a $1,000 a day budget. She is often seen putting dresses, bags, etc. on hold and waiting until the next day to purchase them in order to stick to this budget. $1,000/day is pretty staggering to us average non-celebrities since it equals out to $365,000 a year...on clothes! I would consider that a pretty handsome salary, but I guess when you're used to wearing $2,000 Chanel handbags, I suppose this budget could take some getting used to. After all, Britney Spears is known to spend over $16,000 a month to ensure that she doesn't wear the same thing twice.
