Be Like Peyton Sawyer from One Tree Hill

If you have seen the series One Tree Hill and love the character Peyton Sawyer, played by Hilarie Burton, then this article will show you how to be like her!

Steps

  1. Express yourself. Peyton expresses herself through art. She loves to sketch, and 9 times out of 10, her sketches are based around depressing moments of her life. Be true to yourself, and try to express your own feelings. But if you don't want to do this, you can maybe find something like writing poems, or something else.
  2. Become more interested in music. Peyton listens to a lot of punk, rock and lots of alternative bands. She also listens because of the lyrics, sometimes listening to different music depending on her mood. Music such as the bands below are places to start. Peyton doesn't go to any concerts, or at least not so much.
    • The Cure
    • The Flaming Lips
    • Honorary Title
    • Audioslave
    • Smog
    • NOFX
    • Haley James Scott/ Bethany Joy Galeotti
    • Mia Catallano/ Kate Voegele
  3. Begin collecting CD's and vinyls. Vinyls show that you are more passionate about music, but owning a CD doesn't mean you like it any less.
  4. Make sure you have a tight knit group of friends. Peyton has a best friend Brooke, whom she trusts most in the world. They have their ups and downs but true friends always become friends again.
  5. Try a variety of different hairstyles. Change the length, straighten it, curl it (a signature Peyton look) flick it. To get hair exactly like Peyton though, you'll need to create tight curls (season 1-3) or soft curls (4-5) or even long and flicked (6). You'll also need blonde/brown hair.
  6. Tone it down on the makeup. Use eyeliner on the lower lid, and some mascara. Clear lip-gloss or light pink lip-gloss for day to day wear, maybe some red eye shadow for the night, and for the day you can have light brown and earth colors. At night, Peyton experiments more. Use a bright red lipstick or a deep red and add some blush for colour.
  7. Purchase a leather jacket in either black, charcoal or brown. Wear it as much as you can for true Peyton style. You can pair it with a pair of skinny dark jeans or throw it over a flirty dress.
  8. Peyton's style changes a lot. For season 1-4 style, try the following items:
    • Black skinny jeans
    • Logo/graphic tops
    • Plaid shirts
    • Denim or plaid mini skirt
    • Band shirts (The Ramones, The get up kids etc)
    • A few pretty tops
    • Tank tops
  9. However if it's her season 5-6 style you're looking for, it consists of more girly yet punky items.
    • A LOT of tank tops! Try a variety of patterns/cuts
    • Tunics
    • Waistcoats to layer with
    • Shirts
    • A couple of logo/band t-shirts
    • Skirts
    • Fitted blazers
    • Plain dresses in different cuts
    • Jumpers/cardigans
    • Coats/Jackets
  10. Peyton has her own webcam, and she frequently posts podcasts. Her webcam can be viewed online by many people. She also has Myspace so she can take a look at different bands. She also has her own "blog" side, there she just tell you which music she listen to, and she shows her art and she have some links to different web pages.
  11. Make the look more 'you' by customizing it and giving it your own personal touch.
  12. You can copy some of Peyton's art if you can't think of any yourself.

Tips

  • If you need money to buy CD's or vinyls you can always check out online stores like eBay where they sell used but in good condition things for a bargain.
  • If you don't want to wear a leather jacket, you can always substitute it for synthetic fabrics like "pleather".
  • If you want to try your hand at art, but know you aren't that good, give it a go. You can take classes and read books to help you.

Warnings

  • Remember to cover your webcam before you undress, there might be some perverts/stalkers watching. You don't want a Psycho Derek stalking you!
  • Don't try too hard to be like Peyton. Remember the fact that she's a different person and no one can ever be like her. She has many flaws too, so does everyone. Don't forget that it's a character of a daily soap. Hilarie might be entirely different from Peyton.
  • Don't write negative things about people you know on your LiveJournal. They might find them.
  • Remember to listen to music YOU like.
  • Don't become depressed.
  • People might call you emo because of your outfits.
