With every year passing, we always get a lot of new fashion fixes. It could be the new It Handbag that everyone has to have, be it original or a totally cool high street copy. It could be the fashion forward new IT designer, whose influence filters into everyones life one way or another. Well, for the Style Stealers at least, it's the new IT girl's that give me the most fun. The up and coming actress, singers and teen queens, that not only have talent, but an incredible sense of style.
While this article celebrates one of just the many talents that has arisen this year, it's also celebrating some of my favourite style queens from the past 2011. These 4 people not only have the ability to look good in whatever clothes they choose, but they are also talent in their own fields too. So hail the Style Queen's of 2011, you truly deserve it!
001 - Ashley Tisdale

People who read this article regulary will know - I'm a huge Ashley Fashion Follower!!!! This year, I felt Ashley wore some incredible outfits, even when she was just heading to the gym. It was really hard to choose which outfit was my favourite, so I went for what I would call a staple Ashley everyday look. Comfy, yet cute. I think that would describe her style perfectally. What impressives me most about Ashley's style, is her ability to choose affordable pieces. Some of her evening weear this year from the likes of Planet Blue and ASOS was way under the price of the $1000+ outfits most wear, one even came in under $100. That's Fashion Savy!

Hints and Tips: Ashley loves a good pendant necklace. When it comes to a staple piece, it might often be best to spend a little more on a keeper, than a few pence on something that doesn't last long. Try looking for a unique necklace that no one else owns, that is your signature. Why not shop around craft stores for amazing pendants or check out Antique Shops, Markets or even Ebay. Then simply buy a chain to put it on. That's DIY the easy way!

002 - Blake Lively

Blake never fails to impress me with her style, because she's not afraid to try somethings a bit different. Take for instance her Marchesa dress at the GG 100th Episode Celebration. Some might not like it, but I thought it was completly whimsical and the girl pulled it off. Blake has a keen eye for colour tones, with the outfit I've choosen to steal, just proof of that. A colour palette so perfectly picked, it's no wonder Blake styles herself. Save the expensive of a stylist for more clothes! That's Clever!

Hints and Tips:Blake's actual Louboutins are amazing, something out of Where The Wild Things Are! If like me, you couldn't stand that size of killer heal eveyday, there are a few tricks to mastering high heels. Try looking for shoes with a hidden heel. These shoes tend to have the height, without the discomfort. Practice walking round your house before a big event (just watch you don't cave holes in the carpet). Alternatively, hide a pair of flats in your bag for emergencies. A quick change, before catching a cab :)

003 - Chloe Moretz

Last year we might have said, Chloe Moretz who?. This year, it's oh yeah, Chloe Moretz. This girl has not only impressed in her incredible acting skills (most of her movies like Kick Ass, Hugo, Let Me In have been given rave review), fashion lovers have comended her for actually dressing not only amazingly, but appropriatly for her age. I knew there was only one outfit I could try and steal, and that has to be her outfit to the "IRIS - A Journey Through The World Of Cinema" Premiere. So incredibly eyecatching and unique, only she could pull that off. Well, now you can.

Hints and Tips: While I think Chloe is probably wearing jeans, (who made those - even they were beyond my style powers), I found it hard to find a pair of jean that colour. I opted for layering lace leggings, over yellow leggings to achieve the same look. Make sure to try them on before purchase, as you need to know that lace leggings (which might not have much stretch or give), will layer over the top, without discomfort. Even try a pair of lace ones that are one size bigger than your yellow ones..

004 - Lauren Conrad

How could Lauren Conrad not be in an article that is about fashion. While she got her start on reality TV, Lauren has put that behind her to concentrate on her fashion and beauty empire. While she continues work on her collection for Kohls, she also released her own line, Paper Crown, which has piece not unlike the ones that Lauren wears. She also launched her amazing new site LaurenConrad.Com, a mecca for any creative people, as well as it's offspring, The Beauty Department, packed with great advice and tutorials.

Hints and Tips: Lauren's outfit could easily be turned into a lovely summer's day outfit (not that you would wnat to wear it in the freezing cold winter). Exchange the pants for a lovely pastel skirt and as an extra trade black pumps, for a pastel coloured pump, a bright summer colour.
