We Need To Talk About... Red Velvet.


Another K-pop fashion post. Told you I was in love.

Formed by SM Entertainment, Red Velvet create catchy music, with awesome dance routines, and on top of that, fresh-off-the-runway outfits.
If you read my BlackPink post, you'll know I'm not super into the girl groups in K-pop -the boys are more my thing- but Red Velvet might just be my favourite female's in the k-pop industry.

As they've just started releasing new music, I thought now was the perfect time to write about how incredible their styles are.

We Need to Talk About... BlackPink.


Kpop is something that exploded into my life in the latter half of 2017. 
Thanks to a new friend at work, groups such as BTS, Red Velvet, Seventeen and EXO, have pretty much taken over me.
Although, majority of the girl groups aren't really my cup of tea -I prefer the boy bands within kpop- I can't help but obsess over their style.

Now the Asian fashion sense has been something I've been in love with for a while. Japanese and Korean fashion in particular has always caught my eye.

At the forefront, we have BlackPink. These 4 girls have it all. Talent, looks, confidence and style. Their outfits effortlessly ooze perfection. Whether it's on stage or at an airport, they always look on point.

We Need To Talk About... Sadie Sink.


I know. Two Stranger Things posts in a row? Part of me is sorry, and the other part is, well, not. 

If you've watched the second season of ST, then you'll be familiar with the feisty, redheaded, skater girl from California, Max. Or Mad Max as she's introduced.
Played by Sadie Sink, the two could not be more different. Max is a tough, tomboy who brings an air of mystery for her new friends. Sadie, however, doesn't play video games or skate, is quite girly, and is a passionate vegan.

The two offer some similarities though. They're both laid-back and carefree, and neither could give a crap what people think of them. Probably, the most important similarity though: they are both completely infatuating.

Before ST, Sadie had starred in The Glass Castle, American Odyssey and had roles in two Broadway shows; Annie and The Audience. But it was a little white lie that changed everything: she could skate.

For someone who's life has literally just been turned upside down, Sadie remains relatively normal for a 15 year old. (Pun intended btw) She loves fashion and dressing up, enjoys eating and sleepovers, and is best friends with co-star Millie Bobby Brown. 

For someone who is only 15, her style is pretty experimental, which is kind of given, since she's probably still figuring herself out. Packing in  lace, leather, high waists and peterpan collars, I personally love Sink's fashion taste. 



Sadie Sink is well on her way to being a top actress and a total style icon.
And I'm very excited about it.

We Need To Talk About... Millie Bobby Brown.


Like the majority of the worlds population, I spent the best part of my weekend binge watching season 2 of Stanger Things.
If you've been living under a rock for the past 365 days, Stranger Things is easily the coolest thing to come out of 2016. There's no argument there. But coming up very close behind, was it's breakout star, Millie Bobby Brown. 

 Aside from Stranger Things, Millie has starred in Once Upon A Time, NCIS and Grey's Anatomy, has been featured in Sia and The XX's music videos, and is signed to IMG models. If that's not enough, she is said to be Raf Simons' muse for his latest Calvin Klein collection, has become a regular fixture on FROWs, she's crazy confident and rocks a ballsy attitude.
Oh, and she's thirteeen. THIRTEEN.

Since ST is set in the 80's, she spends the vast amount of her time in simple t-shirts and jeans or her now iconic pink dress/blonde wig combo, but a quick scroll through her instagram proves that we could all maybe learn a thing or two from her.
Rocking bold colours and quirky prints, her style is polished and poised yet always age appropriate. At events, she wears gorgeous designer dresses, and edges it up by adding, biker boots, converse or a leather jacket.

Back in 2006, thirteen year old me was awkwardly throwing together some insane mix of emo, 90's grunge, and 70's skater looks. It wasn't pretty.
But then I wasn't overnight phenomenon, Millie Bobby Brown. She's definitely not going through an awkward phrase.



I definitely did not think I'd be getting fashion inspiration from a thirteen year old.

We Need to Talk About... Sophia Lillis.



On Tuesday evening, two friends and I went to see the new IT remake. I was in love.
Now let me tell you, I've been hyped up about this film since they announced they were remaking. When they released the trailer, my excitement levels exploded. 
When Tuesday night rolled around, thankfully, I was not disappointed. It's not a perfect film by any means, but I think it's one of my favourite horror movies already. And I'm not someone who particularly enjoys the horror genre, so that's saying something. 

But there was one person who stuck out the most for me. 
Sophia Lillis plays Beverly Marsh, the only girl in the group of teenage misfits, who band together to form "The Losers Club" and take down the evil Pennywise.
At just 15, Sophia's resume includes 37 and A Midsummer nights dream, and she'll soon appear on Sharp Objects.

It was Lillis' sweet charm and brave personality that transpired throughout the film. For me she stole the whole show. 
I've seen others say they didn't like her character being portrayed as a damsel in distress, but I didn't see it like that. I saw Beverly as a young girl who was strong and kicks ass despite all the awful things that she endured in her life. 

I get strong Molly Ringwald vibes in Sophia. And no, I'm not just saying that due to her red hair, or a certain line that appears in IT. I truly believe this girl has long career ahead of her. Her charming and relatable personality mixed in with pure talent will take her far. Coming from me, that's big. I'm a huge Molly Ringwald fan.



Her performance in IT, is memorable, and, surprisingly, her first real big break. 
I'm excited to see what the future will bring this young, spirited red head.

We Need to Talk About... Madelaine Petsch.



Unless you've been living under a rock for the last couple of months, you'll know what Riverdale is.
Netflix's take on the Archie comics, is dark, twisted and alluring. Imagine if Gossip Girl and Pretty Little Liars had some crazy, badass lovechild. Yeah, you've basically got Riverdale.

I know, I know. I'm a little late to the party. But I binge-watched the entire first season in under 48 hours. If that doesn't tell you how good this show is, then I don't know what does.

Upfront and centre, is the insanely gorgeous Madelaine Petsch. She plays Riverdale's resident scheming bitch, Cheryl Blossom, who could easily be played off as your stereo-typical, high school mean girl, but Petsch brings complexity and spice to the Queen B. Think Blair Waldorf and you're right area.

South African born Petsch, is uber-stylish. Whilst Cheryl is more made up and glam, Madelaine is more into comfy and casual clothes when off set. And when she does dress up, it's a little more contemporary than her character's. She's not afraid of wearing reds and oranges -something redheads tend to steer clear of. Madelaine's trademark red hair, porcelain skin and big lips makes her look like a real life Jessica Rabbit or Poison Ivy.

 Also, we need to talk about her incredibly, luscious, long locks of red hair. I have the exact same colour hair and my ultimate goal is to have it look like hers.

Can you tell I have the biggest girl crush on her?!

We Need to Talk About... Mary Kate & Ashley.



Everyone knows the Olsen twins. And if you don't what exactly were you doing in the 90s/00's???
Along with Vanessa Hudgens, Mary Kate and Ashley have been my ultimate girl crushes since, well, for as long as I can remember.
Starting off as child actors on Full House, they transitioned into bonafide Hollywood actresses, before becoming two of fashion's most trusted designers, with their brands The Row, Elizabeth & James, Olsenboye and Style Mint.

I grew up watching their show So Little Time, and movies like New York Minute and Our Lips Are Sealed are still some of my favourites to this day. 
Growing up I was in love with them. They're real, genuine and down to earth. But also, their fashion choices have had a big impact me. (Honestly, it was so hard to narrow their outfits down for this blogpost.)  Whilst some people dismiss their style as "weird", for me it's bohemian chic at its finest.

They both love layers, and investing in pieces that can be used for all occasions. Many say their style is scruffy, but I love their low-key aesthetic.
Ashley's style is more glam, girly and put together. While MK is all about accessorising and a little rock 'n' roll thrown in. Although, both are memorable, influential and timeless.

Whenever the pair step out, I'm always taking note of the way they style pieces.


These two offer endless inspiration to me.

We Need To Talk About... Girl Boss



Girl Boss dropped on Netflix last night. The 13 episodes chronicle the rise of our favourite vintage badass, Nasty Gal. 
When the trailer was released I knew from the get go that I would be in love. And, oh was I right.
I binged watched the whole show in a day and loved every second of it.

Britt Robertson plays Sophia, the lady who invented the once ebay-page-turned-worldwide-store. The show is a loose retelling of Sophia Amoruso's rise to stardom, based on her book by the same name. The book is still on my to-read list, has been for a while, and so far the show has received mixed reviews. Personally, I'm in love. But you already knew that.
A part of me really dislikes Sophia. She's somewhat self centred, vulgar and doesn't seem to care about anyone else's feelings. But at the same time she knows what she wants, she's crazy, independent and she's unapologetic. So half of me loves her.

My two main loves in life are fashion and music. The former obviously plays a huge role in this show, vintage, hippy and rocker styles are shown throughout, but didn't realise music would have such a big role in the show. The soundtrack is killer. Suzi Quatro, Modest Mouse, T-Rex and Silversun pickups. Urghh, whats not to love!


This show fills me with so much fashion inspo and basically makes me want to go vintage shopping.
Sorry bank account...

We Need To Talk About... Vanessa Hudgens



Oh Vanessa Hudgens. Where do I begin with The Hudge.
I guess I'll start with saying she's my ultimate girl crush. She has been for so many years now.

The actress always looks so effortlessly chic and constantly triggers serious inspiration in me.
Never afraid of trying new things, V loves to experiment with her fashion choices and often pairs clothing how most wouldn't.

Every April, the world awaits the outfits she wears at music festival Coachella. I've posted her outfits from the famous festival here. Seriously, there's a reason why she's called the Queen of Coachella.
In her day to day life, however, Vanessa's fashion choices are simple yet just as boho chic; kimonos, maxi skirts, patterned trousers and floppy hats.


Mixing edgy and bohemian, V basically spends her life looking like she's at Coachella.
I'm in love.

We Need To Talk About... Suki Waterhouse.

Credit | Credit.

A couple of months back I made a post called We Need To Talk About Margot Robbie. It was all about her style and showcased my fashion favourites on her. Well, I've decided I'm going to make that  into a little series. I love fashion and want to talk about it more on here. I'll probably make one of these posts per month where I talk about someone whose style I'm loving at the moment.

I've decided to start with my long term love- Suki Waterhouse. 
The 25 year old is a model, actress and designer for her own brand, Pop & Suki, which she owns with her best friend, Poppy Jamie.

I've been girl-crushing hard on Suki for quite a few years now, with her vintage and bohemian garments, who can really blame me?! 
Suki is a rare breed. Someone who manages to look incredibly cool and completely flawless, whilst also looking like she made no effort at all. 

Working with brands such as Tommy Hilfiger, Burberry and Prada, it's easy to see why Miss Waterhouse is one the coolest girls dominating the UK fashion scene.



Let me know what you think of this series because, so far, I'm really enjoying writing them!
Much Love.

We Need To Talk About... Margot Robbie




We need to talk about Margot Robbie.
I am ridiculously in love with her right now. A cool Aussie, chick who is hilarious and has excellent fashion sense. 
Margot's become pretty famous since her roles in Wolf of Wall Street, and Suicide Squad, but I'm here to talk about her style.
Boho, hippie, comfy and casual yet very girly. What's not to love?! In particular, I LOVE the black playsuit/ pink kimono out fit in the second set. 
Her outfits appear effortless yet she always looks incredible. Like the first photo of her at Brisbane airport, so simple and comfy but super stylish.


I think the whole world is getting major girl crush vibes right now.
Much Love.
