My Ultimate Streetstyle Inspo.

We all need to find inspiration from somewhere and if you can't be at fashion week to discover some, it's time to turn to Pinterest and bloggers. 
I'm not sure about you but I find myself having a scroll down Pinterest a good couple of times a day, hoping to find something that inspires me or purely just to admire the clothes on the back of fashion muses - Anna Dello Russo is the perfect one for fun style. 

Knowing that I am forever looking for more sources to gain inspiration from, I have put together five of my go to sites/people I google when in doubt. 

Miroslava Duma. 
We all know now that the Russian's are rising in the world of fashion, and Miroslava Duma is certainly one of them. An ex editor at Russia's Harper's Bazaar, Duma now runs the website Buro 24/7. Despite her website being so successful, it's her style that I have fallen in love with, she makes things look incredibly chic and high fashion but never seems to look so extremely over dressed that for someone like us it just would be impractical to even dream of styling something up similarly - unlike Russian designer, Ulyana Sergeenko, who looks amazing 24/7 but also wears couture day in day out, which is something most girls can only dream of.  

FaceHunter.

Yvan Rodic. A streetstyle photographer before it became a hyped about thing. This is the man of FaceHunter. He trails the streets of fashion week and from it provides us (through his blog) the most chic, creative, collaborations of style and fashion. You are bound to find many looks to suit your taste regardless of how minimal or uber creative you like to be. It's a blog for all. 

Ring My Bell - Ashley Madekwe

Do you recognise her? If you have indulged in the E4 drama 'Revenge' then you will know her. Born in London, Ashley Madekwe is an actress living in LA (it was this move that inspired her to start up the blog, initially in order to keep in contact with her parents(thanks Company Magazine for that info.)). 

Her blog is a personal favourite of mine, she has a style that I would say could be described as fairly normcore, making it accessable but still loveable thanks to her perfect styling. 

Vanessa Jackman

She, similar to Yvan Rodic is a photographer who's job requires having a good wonder around the streets of fashion weeks spotting out the uber stylish to then share with us through her blog. She is very efficient at keeping up to date too. If you need daily inspiration she is pretty good at providing it. 

The looks she shoots vary from the model off duty to the fashionista on a mission. 

P.S. I couldn't resist not including a style shot of Leandra Medine from The Man Repeller. I love the blog too much. 

Syvende

When will I find a Pinterest board this amazing for it's style inspiration.

This tumblr is full of streetstyle shots that in the real world (not fashion week) are actually practical! As well as this it also contains many shots of celebrities; Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen, Vanessa Hudgens and Cara Delevingne to say a few, rocking some great outfits. 

               

Hope you enjoy these style inspo. looks as much as I do.

Brushstroke

Celine - a brand with a minimal aesthetic that one day I dream of affording disappointed and excited many with Phoebe Philo's colourful, modern take on minimalism with the Spring Summer 14 collection. I loved it. So much so that as soon as I got my eye on this Zara dress, that I'm taking a wild guess was inspired by the collection, I had to snatch it up. It may not be the most versatile dress, the boxy shape doesn't fit too brilliantly with many jackets but on a nice day like this, you can rock it without worrying about a jacket.

For the song of the post, I've picked this Paulo Nutini song that I am absolutely loving at the moment Paolo Nutini – Fashion feat. Janelle Monáe. Hope you enjoy it.

Rearrange

Its slightly matchy matchy, but matchy matchy is my thing. I find it inspiring when you walk past a woman on the street that isn't afraid to clash a little, or a lot. But unlike women e.g. Susie Bubble (stylebubble) I'm not that uber-cool and creative.


Despite my mums comment "Hmm, that looks like a hairdressing cape" this mid-length kimono is growing on me. It'll be perfect for the beach on holiday this summer and paired with black denim cut offs will also be a festival outfit I'll be packing.

I tried my best to find a song that had some relation to the outfit one way or another but I was unsuccessful, so in replacement here's a song I'm loving this week Miles Kane – Rearrange .

Black And White Town

Due to the monochrome trend this season and my personal admiration for the colour combination it seems that this trend is the one reigning my spring/summer wardrobe this year. 

I picked up this playsuit today bikini shopping - by far the worst form of shopping, changing room mirrors are not the most forgiving, wouldn't you agree? 

Similarly to many products at the moment it is made from that thick, elasticated, lycra type of material making it incredibly comfortable, although it was the pattern that drew me in more than anything. 

And the shoes. The shoes. I loved them since the moment I saw them and finally gave in to temptation and decided it was completely necessary I have them. They are very versatile after all, and the fact Zara only seem to stock their products for roughly six weeks enticed me even more. I didn't want them to become the shoes that got away. 

These heels have also become my alternative to the strappy sandal, a wardrobe staple (those A line midi skirts don't look the part without them) that I will never buy into - I'm not someone that likes shoes that reveal my toes.

In fitting with the black and white outfit and title of this post here's a song;
