Winnipeg Style

Darling Rebecca from Winnipeg Style has to be one of the cutest bloggers out there. Her style is so romantic and flirty, which I just adore! I think Rebecca has developed a very unique personal style that fits her like a glove. The way she works with colors and materials is just so inspiring! And she has to be one of the few ladies out there still wearing hats on a regular base.... yay! I'm always excited to see a new post on her blog. Go check it out kittens!

Trash Fashion

Today I wanted to put a blogger in the spotlight from my home town Utrecht. Her name is Sabine and she is a die-hard thriftaholic! Her blog is down to earth, which I like a lot in between all those high fashion blogs out there. Sabine's enthousiasm is very catching when it comes to looking for hidden treasures. Whenever I check her blog posts, I feel like running to the nearest thriftstore immediately! A fun feature on her blog Trash Fashion are the vlogs; video blogs about recent purchases etc.. Keep up the good work fellow Dutchie!

Inspirational blogs; part I

As much as I love blogging; I love watching other blogs even more! Trust me, I am an addict. 'Hello my name is Tess and I'm a blogaholic......' There are just só many gorgeous blogs (and accessory bloggers) out there, how can a girl not get hooked? So now I feel like putting them in the spotlight. I'm going to share my favourite blogs with you from now on. Here are the first two pretty ladies, whose styles and blogs inspire me every time I visit them.

Fashionista Chloë

This fashionable Dutch lady brightens my day every time I visit her blog. She just oozes positive energy in every single picture. Which I think is amazing! I find it very hard to smile in pictures, because I'm actually very shy when it comes to cameras... you should see the collection of 'awkward' faces I make while making outfit pictures haha. The fact that Chloë is very well dressed just completes the picture. Her style is a mixture of high streed, designer and vintage... just the way I like it. Say hi to the lady with the pretty smile!

Color Blind

When you go searching for 'thrifting' in a dictionary; this foxy ladys picture is probably printed next to the terminology of the term. Shana is a thrift queen a galore; and she doesn't mind sharing her thrifty adventures. I have just discovered this blog and I am already hooked. Following her thrifty ways is just a great past time. Not to forget that she is véry beautiful and has great style too.... just look at that a-ma-zing figure people. One can only say 'WOW Shana!'

Gillian darling...

Remember my post about the beautiful ladies from Boardwalk Empire? I asked who was your favourite.... Well, mine is Gillian. I think she is stunning, I'd even say mesmerizing. I got these gorgeous pictures of Gillian and her fashion from the HBO website... I higly recommend watching the slideshow in full size. What a dream of decadent fabrics, colours and details... *sigh*

Twenties from the Boardwalk

These screenshots are from the HBO series Boarwalk Empire. I am infatuated with this show! The story takes place during the Prohibition period in the twenties and thirties. I´m going to forward you guys to Wikipedia for learning more about the story (which is great!) Because this post is about the gor-gor-GORGEOUS fashion in the show! Each lady in the series has a different personality and matching wardrobe. There is saucy Lucy, pure (and naughty...) Angela, manipulative Gillian and sagacious Margaret.... which one is your favourite?
