1. Hair and Makeup: Aria has long, sleek dark brown hair (black in the books). Consider changing your shampoo & conditioner. Grow out your hair, and get trims every once in a while to get rid of split ends. Use hydrating, curl-holding products after showering, whatever works best for your hair (John Frieda has good products). Aria also has long, side-swept bangs-you can keep the shape of these by combing them into position while they're wet, putting a round brush under them, and blow drying, before gently misting on hairspray. Aria normally has loosely curled hair so to achieve that hair style curl your hair with a large barrel curling iron. For makeup put on a dramatic black liquid liner (Elf's Felt Pen is cheap and effective) just along the top of your lash line, to make them pop and make your eyes look big like Aria's. Use white eyeliner on your waterline, to make them look doe-like. Add a smokey eye, or depending on your color, green for brown eyes, brown for green or blue eyes, purple for dark eyes, or a natural nude color (not too much). Then, put on peach or light pink blush, a little bronzer under your natural cheekbones, temples and on both sides of your nose. Use a pink lip color. Her eyebrows are very defined. Try shaping yours along your natural arch by plucking, waxing, or threading.

2. Clothes: Aria is a very unique person who likes to stand out with her clothes. Her style is mainly bohemian but has an indie-hipster-girl twist. Research that style, and get some basic bohemian clothes: patterned black tights, skinny jeans, flowy tops, knee-high lace-up boots, memorable dresses, knee high suede boots, fingerless gloves, brightly colored flats, knitted hats, big bags and a signature leather jacket (Aria's is a gray bomber, which can go with almost anything). Try out second-hand/thrift stores for unique vintage pieces. Be bold! One thing Aria is known for is the confidence behind her clothes!

3.Body: Aria is in shape. If you aren't quite as in shape as Aria, it's okay. Part of her personality is being different and everybody is. But you can eat healthy and exercise like Aria, who likes to do yoga.
 
4.Attitude: Aria's attitude is sweet, funny, and unique. She is emotional but strong. She is also mysterious but also has a friendly openness to her that makes people want to get to know her better. She is quite secretive. Try to incorporate these things into your own attitude.
 
5.Travel: Aria's exotic style comes from the variety of the cultures she's experienced. She always has postcards of where she's been. Aria loved going to Paris and Greece, and living in Iceland. She also wants to go to Brazil someday. Try to travel as much as possible and always pick up souvenirs on the way: jewelry, t-shirts, and key chains which can show others how great your vacation was. With a charm bracelet, you can show off the places you visited. Pile some more bracelets on top of it, and you can also still keep up with Aria's style.
 
6.Nails: Aria's nails are mostly darkly colored. Black is okay but don't use that too much.Try to use different colors like dark gray, deep plum, rich burgundy and a nice deep blue. Always keep your nails clean and trim.
 
7.Read and Write. Aria's room is full of books. Read as much as you can, like Aria. She is also seen writing a lot in the television series.--
