Stylish Thinking - Shannen Rose Brundell.


The C.V - I met Shannen when my mum got tickets to the Itunes Festival thinking we would be going to see the amazing Mumford and Sons and Laura Marling but had to sit through interviews with Ferne Cotton and Dave Berry on the live shows instead but we got along instantly :( Shannen has her own style, the most gorgeous long hair and a figure to die for. You rarely see her without her military boots on and a smile painted on her face. Many good times to come with this girl.


I get inspired.. by other peoples individual styles and seeing how they mix there clothes and trying similar outfits myself. Also magazines and online websites such as Look Book, although being inspired by models is hard as you know you will never look as amazing as them.


I couldn't live without.. my laptop!! It holds all my pictures, school work (which is not that necessary anymore) saved favourites, memories and ofcourse access to social networking sites that i can't get enough of! Ha.


My favourite thing in my wardrobe is.. my worker/military boots! I even tried sneaking them into my summer outfits without tights or leggings as i couldn't take them off.



On a summers day you will find me.. sunbathing in my garden, at a friends, playing tennis or at a local pub sitting outside.


Im listening to.. alot of Florence and the machine at the moment.


I love.. Winter fashion over summer. Nothing excited me more than the new seasons boots (SHEEPSKIN ONES THIS WINTER), a new coat, wolly headbands, gloves etc... and patterned tights.


If i could have anything right now.. it would have to be the 'Burberry Porsum' buckle, sheepskin, heeled boots! They are AMAZING and only cost £600! Ha.


My style in 3 words.. Messy, Comfy and Bohemian.

Stylish Thinking - Camille Miceli


This months Elle magazine comes through my door this morning with dog tears and rips where my little sh*t of a dog, Dolly, ripped into it trying to bite the postmans hand off or she just wanted to read the latest fashion trends.
One of the biggest features that always catches my attention is the 'Stylish Thinking' articles and this one in particular is Camille Miceli. Her CV is one of the most amazing in the fashion industry and very inspiring to young girls. Here it is -

THE CV. Parasian Camille Miceli's first job was working with Azzedine Alaia, after which she joined Chanel, working in the press office under Karl Lagerfeld's tutelage. In 1997, she met Marc Jacobs and moved to Louis Vuitton. After several years as head of PR, a costume jewellery department was created for her to lead. In 2009, Miceli was named accessories creative director at Dior.

WOW. Did i just count 6 huge fashion names?
INSPIRING? MUCH!

Stylish Thinking - Hollie Worboyes


The C.V - I met Hollie from going out and mutual friends. Shes a really lovely girl and has as many pictures as me on facebook, which is a good thing :) Her love of jewellery stands out and her style is cute and individual and shes just as gorgeous too.

I shop at.. Topshop for basics, every time i need an outfit, i automatically think Topshop. It has the best ranges such as Unique and Kate Mosses Collections. I also love H&M for school as its cheap and i absolutely love that i can get all my six form clothes from there, i feel like a girl out of Gossip Girl in my H&M school clothes.

My fashion icon.. is Olivia Palermo, I love her, she dresses exactly how i want to, she can pull absolutely anything off. But I also have to mention Lauren Conrad as i see her first on The Hills and fell in love with the peace necklaces, cute headbands and so on, i also love her personality which Olivia Palermo doesn’t seem to have.

My weirdo friends.. make me laugh as we are so grose, yet you would never think it if you see us on a night out. If anyone sees our girl chat pictures you would be shocked!!

I love my.. Miu Miu Patent leather killers, I love wearing them. I wipe them over every time i get in and always place them back into the shoe box exactly how i bought them. Also got to love my vans, their so comfy and can wear them with almost anything depending on the colour.

My ipod.. seriously doesnt come out of my ear all day long even if the earphone is just resting on the top of my ear, i love it more than my blackberry. I love all different kind of music, but i love drake! His so cool, and i love the lyrics in his songs, there true and relate to many people. My iPod ranges from Lil Wayne to Justin Bieber to Beyonce.

My favorite thing in my wardrobe are.. my leggings, you can wear all different kinds of colours and patterns, they are just so comfy i feel like I’m wearing pajamas! You can wear them with a lot of things and they sell all different kinds of new patterns everywhere, they’ve even come up with jeggings which i love!

Stylish Thinking - Harry Farmer.


The C.V - Harry 'mush' Farmer is one of the coolest boys in Essex with his individual style going on and his new hair styles every now and then. We met when we were at school and get on realllly well seeing as hes a cutie, Hes an A* student but way toooo coool for schooool.

My fashion inspiration.. is music, movies (1960's quadrophenia and dessert boots, wow), art and culture, i am influenced by everything i come into contact with daily.

The people i look up to in fashion.. are Raf Simmons, his stuff is elegant, sharp and original. Also Brandon Flowers, that feathered blazer in the 'Human video, OMG.

My shoes.. have got to be my favourite thing in my wardrobe, A decent pair of boots dont go a miss, chelsea, military, dessert.

For me style is.. an expression of self, It's about not conforming to what society would dictate, become alternate. Be comfortable and wear 'you'.

My favourite places to shop are.. Vintage and thrift stores, boutiques in Brick Lane and Spitalfields market. All Saints is still a must even though its now beseeched by 'posers'. Urban Outfitters is like my second home and at the end of the month, Dover Street Market.

The best things about those places.. are the music, Vampire Weekend while i rumage through rags at rocket mmmm. Talking to people with a fashion conciousness.

I found my own individual style.. when i first started chasing girls, i was superficial and wanted to look good.
My style in 3 words.. Bespoke, Mixture of classic and innovation.

I couldn't live without.. my vintage brown Prada bag, that used to be my mums.

I shop.. at Zara for clothes, Kurt Geiger for shoes.

I really enjoy.. reading Grazia but for high fashion ofcorse it has to be Vogue.

My favourite book.. has to be the Twilight Saga’s but for fashion I adore my Teen Vogue hand book, which is with me at all times.

The wardrobe i would love to raid the most would be.. Olivia Palermo & Carrie Bradshaw.

You can never have too many…Dresses & high heeled shoes.

My favourite handbag… is my cute dark green crocodile one.

My most treasured possession… is this gorgeous Swarovski ring my parents got me for my 18th.

The best thing about fashion… is expressing yourself & showing what mood your in and to be creative and fabulous. It’s a big part of life and living.

I started blogging… because I wanted to share my love with other people who share my same interest.

Stylish Thinking - Danny McCree


The C.V - Came across Dan on Myspace (remember those Myspace days) about 3 years ago and got along straight away. His style is cool and individual and i love the way he wears his bangles and bracelets. I would call him a best friend, always makes me laugh and loves me for my bum chin.

My style in 3 words.
. plain, baggy, new

I couldnt live without..my baggy carrot fit jeans and my GHD'S, they are for men too.

Im a big..ASOS fan but have always been an Alsaints boy, Your Eyes Lie for Men is a new fav too.

The best thing about London.. is that there is so much to do, round every corner there's something different be that fashion, the people, the look there's something for everyone. Oh and The Big Issue!

On a sunny day.. i love a good run on a sunny day along the embankment, taking in the heart of London while keeping in shape, making sure I remain looking good in the slouch vests for the fast approaching summer.

In 5 years time.. i want to be working hard but making sure I'm still enjoying life. Oh and still cleansing and moisturising.

My iPod.. is a bit diverse last song I purchased was "my imagination" from Charlie and choc factory. I think that had something to do with Sky using it in their adverts. I'm not to proud to say you'll see both NDubz albums on there.. Na na naiiiiiiiii!

Stylish Thinking - Olivia Monghan


The C.V - I met Olivia working in a restaurant when she came to England to visit her friend. She lives in sunny Australia and im very jealous. Shes got gorgeous hair and i love her tattoo. Her style is really cute and we both look up to Olivia Palermo. She found love in England and im ridiculously happy for her.

My style in 3 words...disfunctional, edgy, feminine.
My greatest inspiration.. is to be the best me that I can be, someone I and those closest to me can be proud of. To get as much out of myself and every day as is humanly possible! And laughter. Laughter inspires me!

The greatest thing about Australia..to me is the long hot summers, the sand beach and sun! The laidback lifestyle, and tiny little towns along the coast waiting to be discovered. We might be a little behind but there is a great amount of creativity starting to come out of Perth too, great fashion and art and a new take on things. Also the diversity of Aus, one city will be the cultural capital and full of inspiration and all sorts of ppl, the next will be sleepy beachside, and the next will be altogether different again.
I look up too..Women who have made it in a man's world! My Mum the strongest woman I know and one of my best friends. Fashion wise its Nicole Richie, and Olivia Palermo just breaks my heart with all her pretty - and her wardrobe!

My favourite thing in my wardrobe..at the moment is my puff sleeved and embellished shoulder tops and dresses...and my navy clothes, I have a big colour crush on navy at the moment! Oh and it doesn't live in my wardrobe, but my purple Jimmy Choo wallet that got stolen...I'm still mourning! :-(

On my ipod.. are alot of singular songs, I love Pendulum, Florence and the Machine, Lily Allen, god I could go on all day! Songs to sing and dance to!

The 3 most important things to me are my..Family & friends, health, laughter!!

The person who changed my life...This one is tough because the person who changed my life came out of the experience that changed my life!! The experience was living in England, I met the lovliest people and learnt so much about myself and a whole different world outside of little Perth...plus the fashion made me feel so much more creative and helped me find my own sense of style. The person who came out of this would be Martin...I don't want to be soppy but he is just the most DECENT person I've ever met, what you see is what you get and he has helped me be proud of who I am and confident in being me. He makes me the person I want to be and feel like I can do anything :-)

My own imagination.. is my greatest inspiration.

My style in 3 words.. clean, classic, neautral.

I own so many.. cream or white silky tops.

Being subscribed to Elle, i get to read the glossy every month and i always flick to the 'Stylish Thinking' feature where you see designers, models, singers etc telling you about there life and experiences. I have done my own version answering myself -





The C.V - Jodie Speight, studys at The Fashion Retail Academy. Dreams of working for Chanel, wears her heart on her sleeve.

The home i grew up in.. has always been noisy and full, homely and special.

My first fashion memory.. was when i was on a school trip to the theatre and me and my best friend became inspired by these two gorgeous girls in maxi dresses with messy hair and lots of jewelery and from then on, we wanted to be just like them girls at the theatre. Also as a toddler, i never wanted to wear dresses, only baseball boots and boys pants.

My greatest inspiration.. is those who dont take themselves too seriously and designers, models, friends, my mum, celebrities, places and even people on the tube.

My style in 3 words.. Cute, stylish and individual.

My favourite place in the world.. is anywhere that puts a smile on my face or makes me laugh. Either being at home with mum, being at a festival or laying on a beach if i have my favourite people around me.

Its not very fashionable but i really like.. Horseradish, on everything!

I wish i had never worn.. odd converses in Paris?

I spend all my money on.. Magazines, going out, nice little things, clothes, shoes, bags, you get the drift.

The person that changed my life.. would have to be my mum. I wouldnt be the person i am without the friendship and relationship we have. Its so strong, shes amazing. Rare to find anyone like her. She makes amazing cupcakes too.

Im in love with.. Anyone that makes me laugh, also Jamie Redknapp, Jude Law, Jesse Metcalfe and about 100 other guys.

My home wouldnt be the same without.. Dolly and Jemima.

The thing i like most about my appearance.. are my dimples.

The most important things to me.. are my family and friends, my home and my personality.

Best friends matter.. My mum and my girls are so important.

My life in 5 words.. Exciting, fashionable, happy, unexpected and loving.
