Learn the top 5 rules the voice behind 'Found, Now Home' swears by for conveying her unique style...via her closet.

Leigh is one of those women with style that makes you wonder - how does she make it all look so easy? She manages to author an exquisite vintage-inspired blog, contribute to publications like the UK's 91 Magazine, and mother a 3-year old...all in flawlessly unique style. High-five, Leigh! And thanks for sharing your top-5 style tips below.

1. Comfort is a top priority. I think people look more confident if you can tell they are comfortable in their clothes.
2. Shop sales wisely. When shopping sales and thrift stores, I ask myself, "if this was full-price, would I really want it or do I just want it because it's inexpensive?" If the answer is yes, I'd get it if it was full price, then I get it. The cute red dress (above) was an end-of-season Urban Outfitters score last year. Love it! Also, end-of-season sales are the best time to buy shoes - you just have to wait a few months to wear them!
3. Buy 2 if you REALLY love it.
4. Invest in good jeans. I have never seen a pair of cheap jeans that look great!
5. Shop independent or thrift to add some individuality. The classic tweed cape (above) was purchased from an indie-boutique, is comletely unique and adorably granny-chic.
