Cher Lloyd admits being a fashion trendsetter is hard

Cher Lloyd has spoken out about the pitfalls of being a trendsetter.

The former X Factor star has a relatively notable style and it seems her devotees are keen to follow suit.

Speaking to Fashionista.com, Lloyd admitted that starting trends often leads to a "vicious cycle" in which you have to try to move on from a specific look. She said:

"It's very difficult because on the X Factor I did the little headband thing with a scarf, folded it and tied it in my hair. When I started wearing it on the show, everyone started wearing it. Then I was like, okay, now I'm going to have to leave that behind. It's this vicious cycle where you start a trend and then need to leave it behind."

Speaking about where she gets her fashion inspiration from, the 'Sticks & Stones' star added:

"I'm an Instagram person because I can see where it's coming from. Style bloggers are definitely important to me. I don't like dressing in just Topshop, I don't want every girl in the front row looking exactly like me. So I have to shop online, really, at boutique stores. Online there are the best places to shop because they have limited amounts of items. In other situations I'll take jewellery and I'll say, 'Okay, put it on this shirt, sew this onto that to make it original."
