The following is a guest post from our friends at Lucky.

The fashion industry is nothing short of obsessed with former model and MTV star Alexa Chung, even going as far as to call her the new Kate Moss. I think it’s her effortless style and the way she puts traditionally nerdy pieces, like buttoned-up oxford shirts, with sexy pieces, like short-shorts and high heels for a cute librarian look. And her hair! Whether it’s the cut or the color–I can only imagine that hairstylists groan when yet another client pulls out a magazine tear of Ms. Chung. Get her look for much less here.
