Style Inspiration...

Now more than ever, generations of women are dressing not only for themselves but for other women their girlfriends, we want our female friends to comment on and approve of the things that we wear. For this reason, there is now a huge amount of websites and blogs written by women who post daily or weekly photos of what they are wearing to perhaps gain approval but more than likely to give inspiration to other women who may not find it quite so easy to experiment within the world of fashion. We think that this is such a great phenomenon; it’s almost like unlimited people-watching from the comfort of your own home, what could be better? There are so many of these sites around so we thought we’d give you the low down on our favourite ones that us girls here in the office visit daily.

Karla Derass has a fashion sense which is simply sublime. Her blog, “Karla’s Closet”, is full of pictures of the amazing places that she visits and the just as amazing outfits that she wears. She is so sophisticated in the way that she dresses and the simple ways in which she accessorizes, and she has one of the most amazing collections of shoes that I have ever seen.

Karla is a great person to take inspiration from as it has become a trend now to over-accessorize yet she shows that you just need a pair of sunnies or a gorgeous clutch to make an outfit. Check out her blog at http://karlascloset.blogspot.com/.

Another of our fave websites is http://www.whatkatiewore.com/ which fairly obviously features daily photos of what Katie wears. She has a very different fashion sense to Karla but just as gorgeous and individual and perhaps more achievable to the average woman in terms of purse limitations. Her wardrobe features so many vintage pieces and she has such a fun and colourful style. The two images below are my favourite outfits that she has worn recently. She looks really classic and sophisticated in the vintage dress at the top and we absolutely love that gorgeous straw bag! However my favourite outfit that she has worn is this stunning silk Pringle dress (bottom image) teamed with bright red shoes and oversized accessories. The whole outfit is so cute and individual and we just love it!


There is so many great websites like these around so more to follow soon! Take inspiration from them and have a browse if you ever feel like you need a little bit of help with what to wear.

We’d love to see some of your favourite outfits via Twitter at www.twitter.com/4couture.

Love from Katie xx
