Street Style #1

So when it comes to fashion inspiration I always find myself most innovated by street style. When I'm on social media it tends to be all I look up. So to put all my hours spent doing this to use I decided to feature some of my favorites with you guys. Every week I will share five of the best street style snaps that I have come across. Lately I've been loving laid back, casual styling and this is very much reflected in the images below. As part of my new job I will be sourcing amazing street styles throughout London and may feature some on this blog so keep an eye out. Hope you enjoy this weeks looks.

Festival Fever

With Coachella done and dusted for another year, it really does cement the beginning of festival season 2014. When I first began my blog, almost a year ago, my favourite topic to write about (and still is) festival style/boho chic, the hippy genre. I loved the laid back, effortless approach and honestly, I would dress this way everyday if I could. But unfortunately I can't! So I talk about this as much as I can and that's how I get my fix! Over the next few weeks/months I feel festival topics will appear on every blog, fashion magazine/website that we come across, it's just that time of the year. The good thing is I don't know anyone who doesn't like to hear about it :) I will be focusing my attention to boho inspirations, styles I'm loving & looks that I have spotted. I will do this by carrying out the posts festival specific, this is just a small warm up to the season approaching us. 

What festivals are you heading to this summer?

Ooh girl, love your style: Miranda Kerr

So, she has been on the scene for awhile ( 10 years to be precise) but it seems that in the last twelve months Miranda Kerr has gone from just another model to my street style icon. Many of the shots that we see of Ms Kerr are taken while she is either leaving her home with her son or simply walking down the street. This shows her natural style personality, and it is practically flawless. Not only has she been blessed with those looks but the girl knows how to work the best looks! 

What I love most about this girls style is the simplicity of what she is wearing but yet how well it looks. When you think about it, apart from the high-end event outfits, her casual style consists primarily of blue wash skinny denims, a basic tee, a winter cardigan and/or over-sized tailored coat. This is nothing that is not in our own reach, I'd say we have all these in our wardrobes already but there is something effortlessly beautiful about these scenes.

The above images with the aqua-blue maxi is probably one of my personal favorites, mainly because it is one of those outfits that is noticeable "I can only wear this once" statement which is not necessarily meant for casual attire but yet it is. It is effortlessly chic and beautiful.

"I believe to be successful at anything you have to give it a 100% commitment and that is what I still do to this day."- Miranda Kerr

Ooh Girl, Love your Style: Nicole Richie

Love love love this girl so much that I just had to dedicate something on this blog to her. I seem to have a wide variety of different style crushes from celebs to girls who I hang out with so I've come up with a little idea to every now and then post a little piece on how I much I appreciate their particular style, so i had to start with Nicole Richie. She has come such a long way from The Simple Life with Paris Hilton when pink tracksuits were the daily attire. Over the years she has become a mother, got married, gained a sense of style and ditched Paris, all of which have created wonders for her. I am a little obsessed with any BoHo look, but she seems to always look great. effortlessly beautiful. 

The other day when I was looking for images, quotes etc of Nicole Richie, I ended up on this website starstyle.com. At first I honestly didn't know what I was actually looking at due to the cluttered layout of the site, but when you look past this aspect it is actually a great website to guide you where to buy certain aspects to re-create various looks and styles from the fashion icons. Her style is described as "laid back bohemian" and is very much reflected in her fashion boutique House of Harlow 1960. My favourite part of this brand has to be the jewellery collection. With gold and aztec as the fore fronting theme for the collection, it has Ms Richies signature style all over it. 

"Fashion give you the ability to express yourself, your mood; it's a creative outlet in many ways."

"I've always loved the possibility of being able to transform yourself through the way of dress".
