More STYLE icons!!!!!!!!!

Keira Knightly

I really like the dresses she chooses (or her stylish chooses) to wear to events. The colours and fabrics she wear suit her so much. She keeps jewellery to a minimum which helps people focus more on the clothing and shoes she wears. Her dresses also have beautiful detailing on them.

Trends I am into right now!!!!!!!

I like socks and sandals together. So trendy, stylish and very cute

My favourite style icons, right now, at this very second, right ............... now!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!



AND THEY ARE................. drumroll pleeeeease ! pretty please...........



Alexa Chung:

Chanel Iman:



Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen:

I love that everytime I go out I always see different people with different outfits. Most of New Zealand is quite casual in terms of dressing, but there are also some that choose to shop completely at op shops and come up with their own unique styles. and there are some that choose to shop completely at Designer Stores, in New Zealand we have the likes of Karen Walker, Kate Sylvester, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and much much much more. Many people I see on the street inspire me to come up with my own unique styles and not follow trends all the time, and I also like sewing some of my clothes so noone else has the same outfit as me.



My Styles this week:::


Tweety bird singlet.
Purple shirt I am holding, I made.
Long checkered white and red shorts which I made.

My beach bag I got for Christmas I think. HaHAHA!!!!!!!
My socks are from whatever shop you get socks from.
My shoes were $5 from a shop called Lotsa Shoes. Bargain
seriously. I wear them every week and have done for years they
are still lasting.


Bye bye for now. Everyone have a great day and great week - remember be an individual you don't have to spend thousands just to get one look that doesn't really impress many. People might look you up and down then they will walk passed and forget what you looked like within 10 minutes. Dress to impress yourself. You could use that $2000 you plan to spend on expensive shoes bags and clothes to travel overseas somewhere amzing and buy some stylish clothes and bags and shoes from different op shops instead. then you will definetely stand out from the crowd, will be an individual. Remember even celebs shop at vintage stores, like Mary-Kate. Yayyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love using many actresses, models and random people off the street as inspirations for my styles. Some of my style icons are Alexa Chung, MaryKate Olsen, Sienna Miller, Chanel Iman, and many people that are on the blog TurnedOut.Tv ...... Love them all!!!!!!!!!!!!
