Since the summertime, I've seen my style morph and snowball into a beast of it's own. I've discovered numerous new online boutiques and bloggers as well as cute spots around my own town, all of which have contributed to my current metamorphosis. I've hung up my lululemon wunder unders and replaced them with numerous pairs of mom style in jeans in a variety of washes and brands. I cut my hair and gave myself fringe, after months of dancing around the idea. Can't say I'm completely in love, but as it grows out I'm sure I'll come around. The point is, that my style is evolving into something completely my own.
Seeing as the new year is just around the corner, I will probably be back with another post soon, to reflect on my year, but for now let's take a look at the people places and things, influencing my look at the moment.
Starting with people, I've got a few names under my belt, of those, whose own personal style and aesthetic have given me the push in just the right direction.
1. Erin Wasson
I originally heard about and fell in love with Erin Wasson (model and designer) right around the time I first started getting serious about fashion. I must've been in 5th or 6th grade, watching RAW or FashionTelevision with Jeanne Beker when she was featured, giving a tour of her gorgeous Venice Beach home.
Since that young age, I've been following her career. Her style and amazing attitude, make her one of my biggest style inspirations. Her simplistic rock edge has put her at the top of my list when it comes to muses this month
2. @Pursenboots
I discovered stylist Ashley Glorioso through Instagram, surfing through different brand's pages until I stumbled upon her account, @Pursenboots. Jewlery and acsessory wise, her page is a manifesto of almost, exactly what I've been thinking up in my head for the last month or so. Layered dainty necklaces, and some amazing statement boots, her personal style-
has influenced my buying almost as much as her commercial work.

3. Harry Styles
If you know me well enough, it won't come as much surprise that this beautiful, beautiful man has made it into my roster. Singer Harry Styles seems to be going through his very own style evolution this season, stepping out in a ton of new, out of the box luxury pieces, like the 70s fuelled Gucci suit above. Harry has surprised everyone this fall winter season stepping out in more high fashion pieces than ever before. I appreciate his willingness to step out of the box and try new fits and hems, breaking gender barriers with every piece. Below are some of my favourite looks and pieces.

Within mere weeks it seems he's done a total 360; ditching his usual skin tight black skinny for flares of all patters, like these amazing floral ones form Gucci.

How amazing does he look in this Saint Laurent jacket.
4. Rock & Roll
As blatantly vague as that sounds, I have been so inspired by rock music lately. Now I do listen to a lot of different music, and it isn't uncommon for me to go from reggae to rap to house to country, however these past two months have been dominated by rock. Whether it's a folk alt mashup, or just some classic 70s tunes, I can't keep myself from getting inspired by good lyrics and a haunting melody. Below I have a playlist on my souncloud linked, boasting over two hours of my favourite rock songs. Hopefully I can help you find some new favourites, as well as re-discover some oldies that you forgot about. Follow my soundcloud, if you want to keep up what I'm listening to!
Just Rock.
5. Music Festivals
Although season has unfortunately come to an end, I found myself glued to my phone and computer, watching countless sets and vlogs from different summer music festivals. Not only were the lineups this year amazing, but the fashion and culture continue to be frequent inspiration for me in daily life. By the end of the summer I had a list of numerous festivals I wanted to attend. Can you blame me?
6. Pinterest
Lastly, but certainly not least, is Pinterest. If you would have asked me a few months back, if I was on the website, I would've responded with a snarky remark, somehow eluding to the fact that I wasn't 29 and single. Somehow though, I found myself on the website, looking for god-knows-what, and haven't looked back since. Basically, you log in, search up whatever you're looking for -books, fashion inspiration, recipes, workout tips anything really- and pin your finds to 'boards'. Your boards help you organize your posts. I know, this sounds like a boring tumblr, no drama or multimedia sharing abilities, but that's exactly why I love it. When I'm tired of trying to uphold a perfectly cohesive aesthetic on my blog or instagram, I can pull open my pinterest app and get lost. I mostly pin photos relating to clothing but I have boards that focus on home décor, and positive thinking too. If you like the idea of blogger or tumblr, but just not all the effort, try pinterest. Perfect place to manifest whatever is on your mind quickly, no bits and bobs.
So that's all, I hope you've enjoyed that small look into my mind. Make sure you follow me through email or bookmark the page, to stay updated with the blog! I'll be posting twice a week!! Can't wait to talk to you all again,
Xo,
