Minimalist denim

Hey all,
Today I wanted to put the spotlight on minimalist blogger Talisa Sutton. She’s Australian blogger for Badlands blog and works for Australian Elle magazine. Her love for symmetric lines and minimalistic styling has attracted the eyes of the world lately and her Instagram profile is proof that she knows how to squish her busy life into a stylised, beautiful and light 4 x 4 photo. I am currently obsessed with her and have lately been gravitating towards more minimalistic clothing. She is the inspiration I need to spring clean my closet and keep only the necessities. As I struggle with uni work I day dream of a life as simple and fashion forward as Talisa’s. This is what I call easy elegance!

Her outfit is so relaxed and yet so cool. if you think her clothing is cool, you should check out her daily foodstagrams-so amazing and vegan and yummy!

Love,

Vuyi

Nikki Phillippi Style

Nikki Phillippi Style

Today I’m feeling a bit tired and I’m desperately wishing for this semester to end. So I need some cheering up. Nikki Phillippi is my Youtube fave, and who better to cheer me up than the queen of happy herself. It was a rainy day today and I wore the most random outfit ever…however, I should have opted for this fun and happy outfit. I especially love the boots and the leather jacket and I have most of these items in my closet, Her hair looks awesome as always and she’s the picture of health with her water bottle in her hand.

I’m thinking of possibly doing a weekly #OOTD… what you do think? I hope I can end up looking as cute as Nikki!

Chiara Love’s Andrew

The Blonde Salad by Chiara Ferragni is one of the most successful fashion blogs in the world and Italy’s most successful fashion blogs. Chiara is and has always been my most favourite fashion blogger, for a myriad of reasons(I’ll give a more detailed post on this!). The reason I began obsessing over blogs was because of her. She portrayed her life as a student in Milan, as a fashion fairytale parading her closet on the streets of the Italian City of Fashion. I loved watching her, following her on holiday and watching her grow her shoe line. However, her personal life was in the spotlight as well. Her relationship with business partner and longtime boyfriend Riccardo Pozzoli was especially fascinating, since they were soo good together, both on the business side and the relationship side. They were soo cute!!ImageImage

But alas, their six year relationship ended in 2013, to the shock of the fashion community and Chiara’s fans. Don’t worry, she wasn’t heart broken, they remained the closest of friends and shared the news of their breakup on social media, posting matching pictures and text that they had clearly decided on together. Saying that they will remain in each others lives and that they love and respect one another and will remain friends. How sweet!

Sometime in the year 2013 Chiara met Andrew Arthur and fashion fans could gladly watch another love story unfold.

Andrew Arthur is a Los Angeles based photographer and is the true subject of this post.  Since stalking their relationship on instagram and finding some insanely cute and romantic pictures of them I have well and truly fallen for the aesthetic qualities of his photography and his personal style. I also love the fact that they have so far made long distance relationship work. Their street style combined is relaxed, cool, with a rock edge. I am also, amazed at how beautiful and successful their collaborations have been. Andrew Arthur shot the campaign images for her jewellery line CAIA Jewels, which turned out incredible!!

Other collabs include her shoe line with Superga 🙂 Image

Also some blog shots! These were taken in Paris, the City of Love.

They also travel together, last year they went to Vietnam together with their friends. But I mostly just love the way they are together, it’s very understated, laid back and chic (their style that is). And they do love each other very much as Andrew frequently posts pictures of Chiara in support and love for her. It’s so adorable.  Andrew has shot a lot more ad campaigns and photographs for Chiara, but I’d like to focus on them fashionably together. Here we go!

Long live the love birds, may they be happy and prosper.

Black Out Crew-the first photo is my personal favourite, which is yours? They are the epitome of cool!

Lots of love,

Vuyi
