Heather Kathleen Rudd is a Lookbook.nu enthusiast, a self-described "obsessive tea drinker and cereal eater" and a Englander that can rock the messy hair look like nobody's business.

Judging by her mismatched attired, lassie faire hair and brightly dyed locks, one may think Rudd's style is a little off-the-wall or eccentric. However, true fashionistas (and hipsters) should admire her ability to take the chaotic and make it work in her favor.

Take a look through the gallery above to see some disheveled, messy hair looks and some seriously offbeat attire.
