Fashion Is A Playground

Today's style inspiration comes from yet another style blog (sorry, I'm just loving 'stalking' other people at the moment haha). This one is from French blogger, Aurelia from Fashion is a Playground. Not only are the photo set in France (making them a million times better than any other fashion bloogers photos) but I find her what appears to be Alexa Chung inspired looks to be amazing, with the right combination of preppy, vintage, rocker and tomboy. 

I really love the salmon coloured jeans!

Hope your week has been swell- the weather here in Adelaide has been horrible the past couple of days, and with no Olympics or Masterchef Australia all I have to do is homework! Well at, least it's getting done, I suppose...

Fashion Inspiration- What Olivia Did...

So, you must be starting to realise my obsession with fashion blogs! I don't know why I like them, I guess I just love reading about people's lives!

Todays inspiration comes from What Olivia Did, I am currently loving her style- both vintage and rock at the same time (a look I love, however, I think pulling off the rock look would make me fail massively, with my natural blond hair, pale skin, big blue eyes, and full face!). Not only that, she labels her posts with lots of song lyrics, including some from Arctic Monkeys, Miles Kane, and the Last Shadow Puppets! Fashion + Alex Turner song lyrics= me likey!

Have an awesome weekend, hopefully with more sleep and rest than I will be getting! xx

Dahlia Lookbook

Dahlia Presents: One Dreamy Day from dahliafashion on Vimeo.

How sweet is this lookbook from British brand Dahlia?! How I love video lookbooks! They're so sweet, and I always want to live the life of the girls in the dresses- well, of course that's the point... All of the necessary info is at the end of the video, and here is their website if you want to check out their clothing:

Style Inspiration- Bonnie from Flashes of Style

I am currently adoring Bonnie from Flashes of Styles look. She has what I think is the perfect combination of edgy and feminine style. Everything in her wardrobe is gorgeous and perfectly styled, then photographed on the streets of the few American cities she's lived in. 

She is also great inspiration as I have some similar pieces in my wardrobe and haven't known how to wear them, so I am keen to hit the streets of Adelaide again wearing these things (rather than them collecting dust in my wardrobe). Alas, that will be a few weeks away still, until then I will be checking out chunky knits and high waisted shorts to add to my wardrobe. 

To see more of her style, check out her blog: http://flashesofstyle.blogspot.com.au/, or find her on the ever-inspiring Lookbook.

How stunning are these Nadinoo videos?!
I love the feeling of the first one- just relaxing at home, listening to music. However, it's something that we usually do shamelessly (or shamefully) in our trackies or PJ's, and it looks just way more fun in pretty outfits! Maybe dressing up would get rid of some of the guilty feeling usually associated with doing nothing!
I particularly love the second one- the idea of camping in a forest wearing cute clothes and exploring sounds like so much fun to me! I also love the little collections. I also like the red-riding hood style coat, and the feel of fairytales.

Have a wonderful weekend xx

Welcome to the first Fashion Friday!

I adore this months Vogue Australia cover! I think it's very tea-partyish for some reason... I just love the softness, and the gorgeous shade of pink.
