Style Crush: Carolyn Bessette Kennedy

Carolyn Bessette Kennedy was one of my first style icons. At age 16 I would dissect images of her in Vogue magazine and want to emulate her style albeit on a tight high street budget back then. Carolyn was beautiful, chic, stylish and a poster girl for 90's minimalist luxury fashion favouring Prada and Calvin Klein for whom she worked as a publicist for the brand. She made the simple white shirt look feminine, the beanie hat stylish and cargo pants chic. She was never overdone, favouring simple luxe basics such as camel coats, cashmere sweaters, and dark blue denims with her trusted Hermes Birkin.  If she had been alive today I am sure the Internet would be awash with images of her still looking as stylish as she was back then. Below are some of her outfits that were captured on camera.

Style Crush: Elin Kling

My Style Crush this month is the very stylish Swedish blogger Elin Kling. I have to admit I have only just discovered what her name is, so, this is why I have now decided to dedicate a post to her flawless style. This is one lady who can make the most basic of pieces look uber sophisticated and modern. I am loving the way she teams a pair of straight legged tailored pants with an oversized men's sweater and still manages to look feminine. This is one fashionista I will be watching in the future as I am sure we are going to be seeing a lot more of her.

Style Crush: Caroline Sieber

My 'Style Crush' this month is Chanel ambassador and London based Stylist Caroline Sieber. Gosh, does this girl know how to dress, and so she should having Chanel and almost every other high end label at her finger tips. She tends to favour monochrome and floaty feminine fabrics accessorised with cutting edge bags and jewels and to top it off she has the best legs in fashion and she is not afraid to show them off.

Style Crush: Valerie Boster

A newly discovered style crush of mine is Bookings Editor of Vogue US, Valerie Boster. My favourite looks are the the first image in which she is rocks this fabulous coloured fur with skinny jeans and the chic, simplicity of the navy and camel outfit in photo 5, impeccable.

Style Crush: Delfina Delettrez

Hailing from one of fashions most iconic families, 23 year old jewelry designer Delfina Delettrez daughter of Silvia Venturini Fendi has the best personal style I have ever seen. I love how she mixes designer with vintage and prints with texture to create a look that is unique to her.

Style Crush: Natalie Massenet

My style crush this month is the gorgeous Natalie Massenet founder of Net-a-Porter.com. I have long admired Natalie's style and her ability to mix fledgling designers with high end, luxury labels, but I suppose you wouldn't expect anything less from the founder of the worlds best online boutique. With her elegant poise and Audrey Hepburn looks, to me she is the ultimate style icon.
