Plaid Shirt Fashion ★

In this photo, Miranda is wearing a simple purple plaid shirt. She made it her own with a black beanie, a white cami under, two cute necklaces in different sizes and jeans.

Abercrombie / Hollister sells colorful plaid shirts, jeans and camis. You can find a black beanie at Forever21. The necklaces can give your ensemble personality so find 2 that is perfect for you. Since you are not Miranda, you don't have to copy her style completely. Be yourself a little.

Shoes: You can't really see what shoes she's wearing, but I would wear chocolate Uggs in the winter, silver flats in the spring, flip-flops in the summer, and converse in the fall. You could wear this outfit all throughout the year!

Goodluck with this Miranda inspired look and have fun making it your own!

Pink ♥ Accessories

Miranda loves to accessorize! Accessories can change the entire outfit. In this photo, Miranda is wearing a cute, pink heart ring... Perfect for Valentine's Day, which is in a few days!

I think the best place to buy accessories is Forever21 because it's affordable and the jewelry and accessories are great statement pieces if you really want to express yourself!

The jewelry is priced at $1.50 - $10.50. Accessories like bags, hats, and shoes run from around $3.00 - $30.00. Nothing in the store is over priced so its a great place to look if you want a entire new wardrobe under $100 because the prices and clothes are amazing!

Edgy Rockstar Look

Lately Miranda's been wearing all dark clothes. In this photo she's probably giving her concert and we all know that black is the cutest color to wear if you're going to a late night concert... Or if you're giving one!

Miranda is ever seen now without a leather jacket. This look (left) is clearly all black and a little edgy for the actor / singer. But every star has to grow up. Is she going to quit iCarly just like Miley Cyrus quit Hannah Montana? Well, let's just enjoy her new style and see where it goes now!

So if you want to get this edgy look, you'll need a black leather / pleather jacket, a cute black tank top and a dark purple skirt. If you want, you could just wear a dark purple or black dress. To complete the dark look, painting your nails black and straightening your hair will make you look more like Miranda when you wear this ensemble.

She accessorize with a small gold braclet you could probably find at Forever21. And that's the entire look! All the pieces could be found at stores like Wet Seal, Charlotte Russe, and Forever21 (of course!) Have fun with this dark Miranda look and embrace your inner rock star!

Miranda's Rockstar Black Nails

If you look closely on Miranda (right) you can see her black nails. A lot of people think that black nails are gothic, emo, etc., but they're actually really cute! Miranda makes them look happy & girly with this bright red shirt and white cami. She also paired it up with black skinny jeans. Accessories: silver bangles and black flats.

Black nail polish is really cute & super cheap. You can buy it at Claire's, Icing, Target, CVS... almost everywhere! You can go on youtube and look for really cute nail designs that require black nail polish. It's a great color to add to your nail polish collection and Miranda wears it almost all the time!

A really cute Miranda inspired nail idea:
1. Take your black nail polish and paint your nails.
2. Glue on rhinestones and paint a sparkly clear coat over it.
3. In a neon paint, write a different letter on each nail spelling out "love". On the thumb, in the same color, draw a small heart! ♥

It makes the dark, gothic color happy and bright!

Howto: Miranda's Sleek, Straight Hair

Miranda has the shinny, long, straight brown hair everybody would die for! I look at mine and it's a bush of dead, brownish/grayish curly fluff. So to achieve this gorgeous hair -- it's easier than it looks!

Things You'll Need:
- - One ripe avocado
- - 1 egg white
- - 1 tsp of olive oil
- - shower cap
- - Bumble & Bumble repairing shampoo & conditioner
- - Straightening hair cream
- - Tangle-free hair spray
- - A good brush
- - Frizz cream
- - Blow dryer
- - Round brush
- - Hair Straightener

Step 1: Make the avocado hair mask like the one in this video: click here.

Step 2: Rinse the mask out with cold water and wash your hair with Bumble & Bumble repairing shampoo & conditioner. Even though it's a little pricey, it will help your over heated hair and make it shinny, like Miranda's.

Step 3: Towel-dry your hair lightly. Too much pressure will damage the hair. With a good brush and tangle-free spray, go through the hair gently, removing your knots.

Step 4: Now, go through your tangle-free hair with a frizz-be-gone hair cream and a straightening cream that will keep the hair straight. Check stores like the Bath & Body shop, CVS, and Target for these products.

Step 5: Take a well-made blow dryer and and a big round brush and dry the hair straight. You can air dry it too for healthier results, but blow drying is quicker and it makes it easier to straighten if you blow dry it straight.

Step 6: Last step! Straighten your hair with a straightening iron. Do this slowly and in little bits at a time. The fast you pull that iron through your hair, the more it damages it. Be careful and do this part slowly.

* Don't do this everyday because it could ruin your hair. REMEMBER: the more products you put in, the greasier and dryer your hair may appear. Give your hair a break from the heat, especially during the summer. For the best results, get a trim every 6 weeks for healthy hair and don't color it. I went a whole summer without straightening my hair and it helped! Do what you need to do and you'll look great!

* Miranda's hair is done by professionals to make teen girls feel self conscious and unsure about the way they look. Love the way you are. If you have curls, celebrate them by wearing a pretty flower in your hair. Got straight hair? Braids are cute and never go out of style. Love the way you are and don't try so hard to look like a celeb.
