Today I thought I'll share with you the unique looks of one of my all-time favourite bloggers! German photographer Lina Tesch is one of the many talented gorgeous bloggers I came across on Lookbook. With eccentric taste and an eye for the most extraordinary accessories, Lina's style can be described as glamorous street fashion with a touch of rock n' roll. Lately I've been drawn to her edgy style more, particularly rediscovering my love of the colour black (probably something to do with my mood..)

Signature style elements:

Patterned stockings
Black chunky-heeled army style boots
Gold plated accessories - think "heavy metal" in a fashion sense

For more of Lina Tesch, check out her blog and her portfolio.

I'm hoping to pick up some of these bold, metal accessories in Europe, which I will be visiting for the first time in about 3 months. Yes I am super excited!! Also a bit anxious too as I will be travelling parts of it by myself and um..I don't have the strongest life skills >.< but hopefully it will be okay and I will make it to the US in one piece before making my way back to Australia. It's going to be a crazy 2 months away from home but considering the recent heartache, I can't think of a better time to go travelling (but more on that in the next post!)

Who are your favourite blogger style icons?

Style Inspiration | Botanical Prints

With snail-speed internet and the melancholy of a heavy heart, I haven't been able to do much with this blog until now. It took me a few weeks to recover but I'm finally starting to feel normal again and my fashion senses are thankfully, coming back. This post- Botanical Prints - is something that I have been thinking about for a while. It is a new season trend in stores here in Australia, but it has been floating around for a while in the blogosphere. I still haven't really figured out the difference between botanical prints and florals - I'm guessing it's something to do with the presence of leaves in the pattern instead of simply flowers - but I am loving this look right now and if I wasn't saving up for my big round-the-world trip (more on that later) I would be stocking my wardrobe with botanical prints! Today I am taking the style inspiration post a step further by showing you 3 different ways to style and wear this trend with a selection of dream pieces. Hope you like it!
