Inspiration comes mostly from others not from ourself, and anyone who tells you they are never inspired by others is probably not being completely honest with you. Why am I telling you this, because this was partly the reason why I started this blog, so many of you, yes you out there, inspired me in one way or another or just simple gave me a good idea at some point. And you have to believe me when I told ou that every picture that I ever spend more han 5 seconds looking is saved in Iphoto. Wich brings me to today’s post and title. When I was looking through my collection of ‘inspiration pictures’ I came across these two, I just think it is great that two ladies living in different parts of the world managed to get up one morning and dress almost identical. You have got to love the blogosphere for this.

On a trend subject, it looks like peach/pink is the colour to go to this Summer in terms of jackets. I am still not quite sure what I would look like wearing peach but I think it might soon be time to find out as I am increasingly loving this trend.

Also check out the interview I did for StyleScoop HERE. Thanks Jasna I love it and so amazed to be featured in her column amongst some other great bloggers.
sorry it took so long for me to get back to you!
i didn’t think about a peach/pink blazer until now and i’m in love! i want one now
I have this exact problem, except it is with every trend post I do
I know that some of the girls are wearing the peach jacket from h&M which looks pretty good.

Oooh, thank you for featuring me in your post. I love your blog and you have such a beautiful sense of style. And beautiful hair, too, i must say! And just remembered that I was cover girl for the latest hypeed magazine. Lovely! I will make sure to mention this in my next post.
xoxo,
Dylana
You are more than welcome and as I said before choosing you as the cover girl was an easy choice and a ‘no brainer’. Love your style!!

Peach and pink is just so gorgeous in the sun! I would love to wear something peachy pink right now, pop a bit of blush on and go to the nearest park!

Indeed, it is the perfect item for summer in London
I definitely need to get myself one of these

That is WILD about Hedvig & Columbine! I’m looking @ her blog now.. whose shot was first? Not that it matters. You’ve said it so well, Toni (and in your interview, too): for me, it’s not about fashion (and I like the distinction, and your choice of the word CLOTHES). It’s about the connection.. an old boyfriend (who also had naturally gorgeous, straight copper hair: such a cool look on a guy) used to talk about ‘memes’ – these ideas that take on a life of their own. Trends are memes, but also, ideas.. and we become connected thru these memes.
There’s influence, but there’s also this strange, magic spark of just waking up and feeling like wearing your peach jacket with jeans and really really wanting that Longchamps bag.. it is entirely possible that neither (beautiful) woman was influenced by the other: that it’s simply the magic of coincidence.
Oh I so want to post about this!! Actually, I’m going to. That’s what blogs are for.
Hope to see you in a few hours ; ) xo
p.s. that said… I love peach jackets & I swear, after I read this I opened my closet & looked around… just to see if there was one in there. Sadly, there’s not. Not remotely peach.
Haha I love this, this is exactly what I want these trend post to do. I swear every time I do a post and then go out hunting for the item in question or like you go rooting through the closets
xx
yep, they are everywhere around, hehe! see a trend coming! love the color as well! the ladies look fab!
The more I see these around and on the girls the more I think I need one and will definitely go out and find myself one.

i loved the last look… with the GNS T-shirt… PERFECT! I could wear it for sure!!!
xoxo

So glad more and more people seem to be enjoying these trend posts. I love doing them even though they take time and work
I had a great week-end but and exhausting one too haha
xx
wow love them all
Thanks and glad you like it

Great post! I couldn’t help thinking of this one outfit Liz of Late Afternoon did awhile back, in the same blazer as above. I’m definitely inspired by what real girls wear more than what runways or trend forecasters dictate.
I totally agree with you, i prefer by far the inspiration for the streets than the catwalks, real people do it better!!

Just discovered you blog and instantly fall in love with it ! Xx
Thank you so much Clara for the love, deeply appreciated
xx
I’m constantly inspired by other bloggers – isn’t that the whole point of style blogging? To share outfits, inspire others and be inspired yourself? I think so anyway.
I just discovered your blog through Carrie at wishwishwish – hello!
My point exactly that is why you go to blogs and probably why you create one; sharing inspiration.
Hello there, I just saw her post it is incredible, she did an amazing job
xx
What a great resource!
My cousin recommended this blog and she was totally right keep up the fantastic work!
