Alexa Chung: Style Icon

A week or so ago I was asked by an English woman who is currently working in the fashion industry who my favourite 'style icon' was. So, naturally, I said Alexa Chung ... and to my disbelief she didn't know who I was talking about!!! I was flabbergasted, how could someone who was from the same country as dear Alexa and working in the fashion industry not know who she is!?

So I'm taking this opportunity to post my favourite looks from street style royalty, Alexa Chung. To not only educate all (just like the lady mentioned above) who have not heard of this amazing woman (I seriously don't know how you wouldn't have though, shame on you) and to rekindle the love for the people who already know and look up to this pretty face. 

Love Always

All Hail Queen Tavi

This blog post is dedicated to the one and only Tavi Gevinson.

Tavi is a 17 year old wonder woman, being the founder and editor-in-chief of online magazine Rookie whilst still in High School. Tavi's theory for Rookie was that girls needed a magazine where they weren't being bombarded with images of who they should be or what they should look like, where they'd have articles that they can actually relate to and where they could feel comfortable within themselves. Tavi's become a role model for both young and old through Rookie and her blog TheStyleRookie. Oh and we recommend that you should probably starting worshiping her just as we are because we are absolutely, positively sure that Tavi will rule the world one day soon.

Sneak peak of Casper & Pearl's new collection 'Girl Behind the Blue Door'

Lizzy and I recently came across Casper & Pearl, a label created by Stacey Hendrickson in 2011 (when she was just 18), and fell in love. The brand has a lovely girly aesthetic and is influenced by vintage fashion which, in our opinion, is the perfect mix. We were lucky enough to get our hands on a few 'sneak peak' pictures from their S/S 13/14 collection ‘Girl Behind the Blue Door', which launches in September. The collection features blue floral prints, white crochet lace and cut-outs, which we cannot wait to lust over! If it's anything like the standards of their A/W 13 'Secret Garden' collection, we will be very happy little shoppers. 

Love Always
