Inspiration Overload

Breakfast at Tiffany's

Alexis Dawn

NYC

Zimmermann

It’s almost impossible to try and fit everything that inspires us into a nutshell, but we've some how managed to squeeze it down into 4 simple photos: Breakfast at Tiffany’s, every girl’s fantasy, a look inside Alexis Dawn, one of the most exquisite and on trend stores on James Street, New York City, the epicentre of all things fashion and just general amazement and finally Zimmerman, one of Australia’s leading labels ($$$...$)

Moon river, wider than a mile… ahh Breakfast at Tiffany’s, you never cease to amaze me. I’m forever in complete nostalgia with Holly Golightly and her glamorous life. I’m currently reading the book for the fourth time and the movie has been viewed 57 times on my laptop’s iTunes… I just checked.  - Meg

A style icon for every girl, Alexis Dawn has it all…One of my all time favourite shops to visit when wandering through JamesStreet. Every time I walk through the door of this little boutique I have to literally control myself from just running up and grabbing every item in thestore. Not to mention feeling like a million bucks when you grasp that bag within your fingers vowing 'till death do we part' to that dress you just couldn't resist and can now officially call your own. So if you haven't already visited, or paid several visits to, this Brisbane based boutique, I'm honestly not sure what you're waiting for.  -Tali

New York, New York. The ultimate epicentre of everything I could possibly dream of. This city has a somewhat exclusive and practically uncanny ability to combine my love for fashion, food, art and architecture - it must be twins with Paris. I couldn’t think of anywhere else I’d rather be, starbucks accompanied by a stroll in central park, not to mention to constant innuendo; what would Carrie Bradshaw do? Empire State of Mind and Sinatra’s classic have a tendency to find themselves on a constant loop on my iPod. - Meg

Ah Zimmerman, even though the whole 'cinnamon' joke still hasn't died yet, I'll still love you with my whole heart until the day I die. This brand I believe is one of my true favourites, the mix between relaxed and beachy and classy and feminine is impeccable. I recently bought my Semi Formal dress from there, it's called the Cabana Strapless Drape Dress in the colour Fire (an orangey/red colour) and I love the classy, timeless design. Paired with some orange Mimco heels and aqua and gold accessories, I think I've hit the jackpot. I must admit though, I was very hesitant on matching the colour of my dress with heels but much to my mother's excitement, I let her swipe her magic card and purchase my new Mimco heels! (Of course she bought them, I'm far too broke and it's her fault really, she showed me them…) So, after all that incessant rambling, what I was really trying to say is that Zimmerman will always be my true fashion soul mate. Long Live Zimmerman! -Tali
