Street Beat: Cinnamon, Coffee, Laughs, & Style

We’d like to introduce you to Anna, a blogger bud from Romania. When she’s not busy boning up on histology, the University student enjoys spending time with friends, Starbucks, and blogging about, among other things, her personal style.

Why did we stalk her? Read: ladylike without being stuffy, colorful without being brash, comfortable yet not at all sloppy. Aside from the obvious aforementioned qualities we were impressed that she manages to make a humble lab coat look incredibly chic – we don’t think we’ve seen a lovelier Doctor yet.

Her outfit deets: dress: Kotton, belt: Zara Kids, tights: Accessorize, boots: Musette, bag: Stradivarius, Jacket: unknown, bracelets: thrift

Street Beat: Piksi's Instinct

Bill Blass once said “Style is a matter of instinct.” Heini, a student of medicine in Helsinki, is the living embodiment of that sentiment. Though it’s obvious that she takes great care to attend to the details; her wonderful retro coif, the glam makeup, and just right accessories are proof – the overall effect is, in actuality, effortless.

We have a sneaking suspicion that her inherent sense of style prevents her from leaving the house in sweats and UGG boots – her perfectly pulled-together look is such an inspiration that we’ve collectively stepped up our game.
