February Style Crushes

One week into March already (I swear January lasted a lifetime but I blinked and missed the rest of 2015 so far) so this is a little late, but frankly any time is a good time to post pictures of beautiful women in beautiful outfits. With February including fashion weeks across the globe, there has been no shortage of inspiration – attending LFW this season has given me the creative kick I needed to put more thought into my styling again. Here are some of my favourite blog posts from the month, and check out my previous style crushes posts here.

Shope – sassyblack

A very cool and brand new blog by Shope, formally of London’s Closet, dedicated to the very important message that you can wear all black all the time and still be happy and sassy as heck. This outfit isn’t actually all black, but I love the proportions of the jacket teamed with the super-cropped trousers.

Amy & Naomi – twoshoesonepair

Perpetually the best-dressed duo at fashion week – these ladies just get it so spot on every time with their attention to detail in co-ordination and unique way of wearing trends. Heart eyes emoji all round.

Ellie – roseandvintage

Next up, the very very sweet Ellie who writes the blog roseandvintage. I met Ellie for the first time at fashion week and she was wearing this outfit, I’m still obsessed with these suede panelled skirts and 100% need one in my life. I love how personal Ellie’s blog is – I think it reads more like a diary illustrated with pretty photographs on a fashion, art and lifestyle theme, you should definitely check it out!

Olivia – oliviaemily

Olivia was one of the first people I followed on lookbook.nu many many years ago, and yep she is still incredible. Effortless ~grungey~ but somehow still sophisticated cool, and gosh that HAIR! Kill me!

Tiger – easytiger

Last but not least, some perfect 70s cool-girl inspo from the lovely tiger. I love the high waist flares teamed with a vintage band shirt, and just the right amount of accessorises in the form of sunglasses, a choker, and in particular the belt.

January Style Crushes

January has been a slow month of blogging for me in terms of both writing and reading, by virtue of an extremely draining exam period at university, but curating some of fave bloggers’ work from the past 31 days has really helped me to feel inspired again. Thanks ladies! As always, take a look at previous months’ ‘style crushes’ here.

Camilla – intothefoldfashion

My first ‘style crush’ of 2015 is the ever adorable Camilla, who I first found through her great Instagram. I love the layering of the oversized sleeves on the jumper underneath a 3/4 sleeve cocoon coat here, and how good are these photos?

Pandora – pandorasykes

Pandora’s blog is a recent discovery thanks to a post on pagesbymegan, but has fast become of one my favourites. I know this is a ‘style crushes’ post (and Pandora’s styling of vintage, high street and high end is absolutely spot on), but my biggest crush is on her writing – eloquent and super witty. I love looking at nice photos, but it’s so refreshing to get something more than that from a blog every now and again. I will keep returning to Pandora’s blog for the same reasons I love to read Man Repellar, and perhaps it will help inspire me to write more social commentary pieces of my own.

Luanna – le-happy

I’ll never get tired of beautiful Luanna, especially when she’s wearing one of my favourite easy fashion combinations (namely a sweet little dress and leather biker jacket) with sheer tights and classic DMs.

Lindsey – ropesofholland

Last but not least, super babe Lindsey is back in my style crushes. I really enjoy the balance of smart/casual in this outfit, plus I own this skirt and have only worn it once so far and so this is ideal inspiration!

December Style Crushes

I cannot believe it – it’s 2015! Happy new year everybody! Now I thought about doing a round up of my favourite bloggers from the entire year, but that is such a monumentally huge task and there are so many great December outfits I want to appreciate that I decided against it, and I don’t really like the idea of a ‘top 10’ either due to the limited nature of such a list. What I’m trying to say, is that I’m just carrying on my ‘style crushes’ post as normal, regardless of the fact that another year has just ticked over. If you’d like to see some of my style crushes from throughout 2014, you can do so here. Perhaps I’ll pen a deeper, more reflective new year post as and when I feel more emotionally capable of gathering my thoughts and translating them into some mildly interesting writing, but for now just I’ll leave you with all these beautiful people. Happy 2015!

Caroline – burkatron

I saved this post immediately on seeing it right at the beginning of December – I looove this pretty Free People dress so much, and how Caroline paired it with boots and black accessories.

Lucy, Tiger, Cheyenne, Helena, Heidi – confetticrowd

One of the most exciting blogs that has popped up this year is definitely Confetti Crowd, a collaborative effort from some of my favourite bloggers and general sassy ladies. I can’t wait to see more of these awesome group shots, doesn’t it make you want to be a member of a (preferably this) girl gang?!

Lizzie – shotfromthestreet

Lizzie is a style crush again this month, because she’s had a consistent stream of so many great outfits and amazing photos! I could hardly choose a favourite, but I went for this super simple and chic outfit because I love the layering, the coat, and of course the crazy Saint Laurent boots.

Natasha – bisousnatasha

Let’s be honest, this girl could wear anything and look incredible, but the fact that she has such a great style (and blog) just make her even better! I love the combination of this ultra sexy velvet slip dress with big black boots.

Kayla – kaylahadlington

How freaking cute is this outfit?! You can’t go wrong with a jumper and little skirt combo in my opinion, and Kayla has made it very her by adding massively statement-making white thigh high boots and a sweet checked scarf.

Erika – erikabowes

Last but not least – I recently came across Erika via her excellent Instagram and just had to include one of her effortlessly cool outfits here, and she’s really making me want to cut my hair off!

November Style Crushes

It’s already December 3rd, but don’t think I’ve forgotten about my ‘Style Crushes’ post for the month just gone. I’ve kept this up for 7 months in a row now, can you believe it? I actually can, because it is so easy to find amazing content for these posts thanks to the plethora of incredible bloggers that I follow loyally or discover anew as the months go by. See all my Style Crushes posts here!

Take a look at my December faves below, and let me know with a comment if you’ve discovered any bloggers this November that you think I should know about.

Olivia – whatoliviadid

You’re almost certainly already aware of Olivia, her blog is one of my favourites. Everything is so damn aesthetically pleasing! I especially loved this post which featured three super charming sets of colour co-ordinated photos, my personal favourite being this dreamy baby blue look against the backdrop of a pretty vintage car.

Yanin – idressmyselff

I just NEED this coat in my life after seeing it all over Yanin aka prettysickly’s Instagram, and in this gorgeous winter-casual outfit on her blog too. Who feels my pain?

Victoria – inthefrow

Victoria’s blog gets better and better each time I look at it, and as the photos in this post were taken by yours truly I couldn’t help but feature it! I really love the oversized colour-block scarf she’s wearing, especially paired with those knee high boots.

Hannah – afashionfix

Hannah’s back in my style crushes this month, I couldn’t resist that giant faux fur co-ordinated with burgundy Supergas. Fab!

Courtney – prettylittlefawn

Last but not least is Courtney aka prettylittlefawn. I love Courtney’s cute but also cool laid back LA style, and I love (but also sorta hate) following her Instagram (@prettylittlefawn) which reminds me on a daily basis that I don’t live on the West Coast of the US.

October Style Crushes

So right now I’m in FLORIDA! Hooray! I’m here for Fest (yes, the fest is called Fest, how unhelpful) and of course Disneyland, but I have scheduled a few posts to keep you occupied. To see what I’m getting up to in the US, follow me on Instagram and/or Twitter. First things first, as it’s now November I couldn’t not do a Style Crushes post. This month has been particularly excellent, and once again I’ve struggled to narrow it down, but here is a small fraction of my favourite blogger looks from the past 31 days. If you’ve missed my other Style Crushes posts, you can check them out here.

Amy – twoshoesonepair

Naomi – twoshoesonepair

I think it can be quite difficult to get a jointly run blog right, but these girls absolutely nail it. I particularly loved the posts from this month where they each did a tonal look for Autumn/Winter, both styled impeccably in their individual tastes but still looking amazing together.

Georgia – georgialuisameramo

Frankly I’d just like to feature Georgia’s incredible hair in my ‘Style Crushes’ post, but this outfit is pretty great too. Like Amy & Naomi’s looks above, I’m enjoying the tonality of the navy with the navy check, brought together with a black leather jacket and accessories.

Millie – itsaldnthing

I love a good pinstripe, and what better way to wear the print than in the form of a very striking monochrome suit? Millie has got masculine-but-still-feminine just right with the combination of the strong tailored silhouette with the high waist fit of the trousers, pretty strappy sandals, and her long flowing hair.

Leanne – thunderandthreads

This has to be one of my favourite ever outfits of Leanne’s! I’ve been trying to think of adjectives for it, but I think it suffices to say that it’s just really cool. I love the sophisticated trench and knee high boots with the cute collared shirt under a jumper combo, and the more funs silver tote to finish it off.

Charlotte – thegoodowl

A new blog I have been enjoying this month is thegoodowl, written by the lovely Charlotte. I particularly like how she styled up this patent mock-croc skirt in 5 different ways, here are two of them!

Luanna – Le-Happy

I’ve been doing these ‘Style Crushes’ posts for 4 months now, and I almost can’t believe Lua hasn’t featured yet. I’ve followed Lua since I very first signed up to lookbook.nu about 5 years ago and she has gone from strength to strength, recently hitting 1 million followers on Instagram! My favourite thing about Lua is that her style has been consistent since then, but still looks fantastic all the time. I like this particular outfit because of the relaxed vintage vibe, and that incredible hat.

Megan – pagesbymegan

Another familiar face to finish off this month’s style crushes, the lovely Megan. We have a shared love of a black and navy colour combo, and she has absolutely nailed it with this look. I love all the leather, and this beautiful deep v-neck navy top paired with a choker.

September Style Crushes

I cannot believe another month has gone by already. I am still loving putting together Style Crushes posts, but they are really making me panic about how fast time is flying. As September was fashion week month, I was not short of inspiration – you can find lots more of it in my LFW posts. Here is just a fraction of the blogger outfits from the past 30 days that I have loved:

Zoe – zoelondon

My first style crush of this month is the blue haired babe that is Zoe of zoelondon. I love this sleek all black look with the massive colour pop from a quirky vintage cardi, and cute 90s choker to keep things very ‘zoelondon’.

Charissa – charissarae

Charissa is officially the second person to have featured in my monthly style crushes post twice! I couldn’t not include this look after spotting it yesterday as I was starting to write up this post. This is a silhouette I’m really loving at the moment, and Charissa does it so well.

Emily – emilycocklin

I found Emily’s blog through Instagram – hers (@emilycocklin) is one of my faves to follow! I love this laid back ensemble, and the inventiveness of tying the top part of a co-ord around the waist to create cool detail.

Amy – saltandchic

I started following Amy because, like me, she falls into the niche category of law student / fashion blogger. I continued following her because she’s just such a doll! I particularly liked this look of hers this month, I’m still feeling printed palazzo trousers and this pair is styled perfectly.

Lauren – thegirlwhostolelondon

I had the pleasure of meeting the wonderful Lauren at fashion week this month – the self-titled ‘lovechild of Derek Trotter and Carrie Bradshaw’ (lol) does modern-with-a-vintage-twist so well! None of this particular outfit is actually vintage, but I think the shoes easily could be and I love how they look with the longline dress and duster coat combo.

Lizzie – shotfromthestreet

Another lady who I was introduced to at fashion week is the gorgeous Lizzie. I admire her minimalist aesthetic so much (along with her taste in shoes), and just had to include this look featuring the French Connection trousers that I’m still lusting over in my Style Crushes post.

Sarah – thatpommiegirl

Sarah has gone from strength to strength in recent months. In case you’ve been on a different planet, her Instagram (@sarahhashcroft) is absolutely huge now, and with good reason – she is such a sweetie! I loved this look from fashion week, definitely a refreshing change from Sarah’s go-to pastels, and she really pulls it off. I particularly like the matching red lips and shoes!

August Style Crushes

I can’t believe it’s September already! An exciting month for many reasons, including the fact that I’ll be heading to London Fashion Week for the first time, and that I turn 21 (on the 19th, take note!). Here are some of my favourite blogger looks from this past month:

Hannah – afashionfix

Hannah just has the best style, and has nailed the effortlessly cool look in her blanket cape and pointed boots.

Amy – thelittlemagpie

I’m not sure how I haven’t featured Amy in my ‘Style Crushes’ posts before, every single outfit is incredible and a girl who loves a leather biker is a girl after my own heart! I particularly love this look, how great are these trousers?

Shope – londons-closet

I had the pleasure of spending some time with the babe that is one half of londons-closet in Manchester this month, although I already had this image saved ready for my August ‘Style Crushes’ post! I am obsessed with how this jacket compliments Shope’s amazing hair.

Charlotte – blondecanvas

This is exactly how to do a print clash without being too in-your-face! I also love the combination of browns and beige against a monochrome top, a contrast I’m sometimes a bit frightened of, but Charlotte has done it so well!

Rachel – style–soup

Rachel is another blogger who always pulls of effortlessly cool, in exclusively monochromatic outfits. I love the sports-luxe style trousers paired with leather boots here.

Megan – pagesbymegan

Is it ok to include Megan in every single one of my ‘Style Crushes’ posts? Yes? Good. I love a bit of colour coordination in an outfit, and the green in the dress matching the green accent of the trainers is spot on.

July Style Crushes

It’s August (yikes!), which means it’s time for my July Style Crushes post. If you saw my June Style Crushes post, I promised to keep this up as a monthly feature to show some blogger love, and I have not forgotten! Without further ado, here are some bloggers and outfits I have loved this month:

Arabella – arabellagolby

I struggled to choose which of Arabella’s outfits to include in my Style Crushes post this month because THEY ARE ALL SO GOOD, but it had to be this one. The skirt is to die for and is just so Arabella, I think I need to borrow her whole wardrobe for my trip to Paris this month.

Kayla – kaylahadlington

Kayla aka queen of quirky vintage cool is another blogger whose outfits I have been obsessed with this month, I particularly loved this. Such beautiful photos, too!

Rosie – rosie-glow

Beautiful Rosie of rosie-glow has been showing off some amazing swimwear in poolside posts this month, I love love love this colourful bikini with a more boho sheer top and Birkenstock-esque sandals.

Charlotte – thingsidothinkandbuy

Pastel queen strikes again – Charlotte’s gorgeous outfit photos have me super envious of her beautiful Isle of Wight home and also of her ridiculous wardrobe. Mega babe!

Tilly – tillyjayne

Tilly is one of my more recent follows. I found her Instagram first, then fell in love with her style! I love this girly-but-still-edgy look, it’s definitely something I would wear but it looks so much better with Tilly’s amazing hair.

Sara – waiste

Sara is the ultimate boho goddess. I particularly loved this Missguided outfit because it demonstrates that you can still achieve this style in pieces from the high street and online, without having to be a car boot sale regular and charity shop expert (although a quick scroll through Sara’s blog shows that that definitely helps!)

Eleanore – contagiousblog

Last but not least, the newest blog on my list is contagiousblog. This one is especially exciting as it has numerous contributors, so has lots of really varied content. The highlight for me so far has been El’s stunning outfit posts, I can’t get enough and I’m so pleased that she has started blogging!

Hope you enjoyed this month’s Style Crushes and are feeling suitably inspired. Do let me know if you’ve done a similar post, I’d love to check them out!

June Style Crushes

This post is inspired by the lovely Amy Valentine, who kindly included me in her April ‘Fashion Favourites’ post a couple of months ago. With the discussions about and feeling of community amongst bloggers recently, I thought it an appropriate time to share my love for some other bloggers with some outfits I have absolutely loved from the past month. I’m hoping to make this a regular feature; I know I take so much more inspiration from my fellow bloggers than I do from celebrities, editorials or any other source, so I hope these posts will inspire you too!

Megan – pagesbymegan

My first June Style Crush is Megan – everyone knows I love a trainer and dress combo so I am absolutely obsessed with this look. Megan was shortlisted with me in the Best Personal Style Blog category at the Company Awards this month, and so deservedly came away with a ‘Highly Commended’ award!

Charissa – charissarae

Charissa and her recent post about how we all need to pull our fingers out and show some blogger love via more frequent blog comments is another inspiration behind this post, and her blog is a total inspiration in general! I had the pleasure of meeting Charissa for the first time this month; she’s such a dedicated blogger, plus this outfit is spot on.

Bianca & Dani – kastorandpollux

The cutest blogging duo I ever did see – Canada based bloggers Bianca & Dani are behind the Kastor & Pollux brand as well as their great blog. They have coordinated outfits down to a tee! This image is from Dani’s Instagram, @daniesque.

Yvet – yvetvdn

I’ve followed Yvet on Lookbook for ages; she is one of my favourite more minimalist style bloggers. I love how this all black outfit is so simple but also really interesting? I think the rolled bag ties it together so well.

Lindsey – ropesofholland

Showing some Manchester blogger love here for the gorgeous Lindsey from ropesofholland. I’m obsessed with these trousers, sadly they didn’t have my size when I popped into my H&M, but they look so great with the leather that Lindsey has paired them with.

Lo – theriverwolf

One of the reasons behind my current obsession with boho California girl cool is Lo from theriverwolf and her Instagram (@theriverwolf_) – I’m desperate for her trouser collection!

Lucy – lulutrixabelle

How excited are you that Lucy is blogging again? This girl can pull off the kind of print and colour clashes that I wouldn’t even dream of – I love her take on the Motel sunflower print.

Carrie – wishwishwish

Finally, another blogger I met for the first time during my most recent London trip is Carrie. I have the biggest crush on her Instagram (a weird thing to say, but take a look at @wishwishwish and you’ll see what I mean!) but she has the most amazing style too. Who knew flared jeans could look so sophisticated?

I hope you enjoyed this post and have found some new blogging or outfit inspo, do let me know if you’d like to see more!
