Flickr muse of the month: September

Yes finally, a new Flickr Muse. September’s muse is Andi B. Goode who has been a real inspiration with her cool late 50s early 60s look. It’s the little details – hair bows, vintage glasses, brooches – that really make her look so special.

Check out more pictures of her lovely vintage outfits on her Flickr.

Flickr muse of the month: February

It’s time for a new muse, especially since I shamefully neglected to find one in January. This month I just had to pick the lovely Roseate Spoonbill. She does what I would call American vintage to absolute perfection: little colourful thrift dresses, peter-pan coloured tops and lace-up brogues. Ah, it just makes me want to jump on the next plane to the States.

Flickr muse of the month: December

The Snail and the Cyclops is one of my flickr favourites and one hell of a stylish American. She has a gift of finding the most amazing vintage dresses and accessories and combines them to absolute perfection.

Do check out her blog, it includes her gorgeous home style finds.

Flickr muse of the month: November

Is this the best dressed girl on Flickr? I am tempted to say so. Vitamininmotion, who comes from Sweden, is one of those rare people who have amazing natural style and beauty. I am in awe of the way she styles her outfits, carefully matching hair and make-up, and ends up wearing so many different styles – jeans & T-Shirt, 60s mod, 40s tea dress – to absolute perfection. Vitamininmotion I salute you!

This month’s muse is Rachael, better known as softspoken. This extremely stylish American really knows how to wear vintage. I love the way she mixes her cute ebay dresses with old print T-shirts and her own self-made accessories. Also, I just love her coloured tights.

Flickr muse of the month: August

This month’s muse, another Scandinavian, is one thrifty lady. Her vintage finds are amazing, and the way she combines colours, textures and accessories to create her very own style is incredibly skillfull. I love her style as it is cute, playful and yet edgy thanks to her amazing hats and bag collection. This is clearly someone who enjoys dressing up.

Flickr muse of the month: July

Oh those wicked Scandinavians dominate my flickr favourites, and this month’s muse is no exception. Johanna Oest is an artist living in Sweden, and I just adore her retro 1950s/1960s style. I love the way her nostalgic dressing is without a hint of irony, this is not retro mix up, this is not a 2008 take on the 1950s. And please, can I just take over her flat?

Flickr muse of the month: June

June’s flickr muse is the queen of thrifted fashion. Piksi does sweet summer dresses, structured tailoring, Marimekko prints, high-waisted trousers and the most fantastic bags, glasses and jewellery and always manages to look cool, sweet and like herself. Who would have thought she’s training to be a vet?

Flickr muse of the month: May

This adorable lady from Thailand is giving me serious wardrobe envy. There is cool and there is uber-cool Boboniaa. She just oozes style and confidence with a natural ability to throw things together into amazing outfits. She wears her vintage dresses, little shorts and rock T-shirts with the ultimate accessory: a cheeky smile.

 

 

Flickr muse of the month: April

Just how much do I like this girl! Sandra, or Mademoiselle Molly Fryxell as she is known on Flickr, has perfected the art of doll like dressing. I love her little dresses, her perfect blond bob and share her love for high heeled shoe boots. It’s the little touches here and there, a necklace, a hair pin or scarf that artfully pull her outfits together and add a hint of cheekiness.
