MEET THE NEW QUEENS OF STREET STYLE
Our obsession with street style never waivers, but with a batch of beautiful ladies getting behind the camera, our passion just stepped up an excitable notch or two. 2011 was the year the girls really hit street style’s highest heights – and they’re proving they can get the job done just as well as any of the boys, and look damn good doing it too. They’re snapped as much as they snap, and we’re not quite sure how they look so glamorous and unflustered whilst dashing around getting the greatest shots of ADR et al, but they do….
Tamu McPherson
FASHION STATS: Tamu’s street style blog, All the Pretty Birds, was set up in 2008 after the fashion bug caught her – she was originally training to be a lawyer! New Yorker Tamu was appointed as Fashion Director of Grazia Italia earlier this year.
SIGNATURE STYLE: Although a pair of Miu Miu neon green heels was one of her most spotted fashion week choices, she cemented running trainers as a chic and acceptable alternative last September – and shamed an entire brigade of stiletto-wearing hobblers in the process!

Hanneli Mustaparta
FASHION STATS: Is there anything Norwegian native Hanneli doesn’t do? This model/photographer/blogger/stylist/VJ was recently snapped up as the face of Rag & Bone’s JEAN campaign and finds herself on many a best-dressed list. Her website is mega online and she’s even had her face printed on a range of Zara tees!
SIGNATURE STYLE: Hanneli’s winter wardrobe is full of winter whites and pastels at the moment – but she’s crisp, cool and chicly turned out all year. There’s not a scruffy bone in this girl’s body, and whilst she champions Scandinavian labels like Acne and Stine Goya, her collection of Alexander Wang, 3.1 Phillip Lim and Mulberry is enviable.

Garance Doré
FASHION STATS: Garance Doré and Scott ‘The Sartorialist’ Schuman are THE power couple in this street style biz, but photographer, writer and illustrator Garance captures intimate moments – and more often than not, full convos - with ladies who fascinate her. She entertains us daily with her musings on the merits of hiking boots orhow brilliant Pears soap is.
SIGNATURE STYLE: Corsican-born Garance oozes Parisienne cool and simplicity. Bon chic, bon genre. And neutral is the name of her game.

Candice Lake
FASHION STATS: Australian model-turned-photographer Candice travels the globe shooting street style for every glossy mag going. See her work here.
SIGNATURE STYLE: Elegant, understated and lucky enough to look so fabulous in flats. Candice oftens jazzes up her a look with a head-turning hat.

Mia Marionette
FASHION STATS: So Norway churns out great street style photographers, huh? Scandi girl Mia is still relatively unknown – but her quirky personal style already has just as much of a following as her blog.
SIGNATURE STYLE: Cute-o-rama and approachable - she's very fond of a midi skirt.

Natalie Joos
FASHION STATS: Belgian-born New York-based Natalie is a fashion power house – multitasking between her full time job as a fashion consultant and casting agent and creating her wonderful blog, Tales of Endearment.
SIGNATURE STYLE: She’s all about the unadulterated girliness – and we LOVE it. Natalie has the best selection of statement knits, and with her connections she’ll rock up in pieces swiped straight from the catwalk, too.

Marianne Theodorsen
FASHION STATS: And here’s ANOTHER cool Norwegian girl! Marianne’s ultra-nonchalant style and cropped (currently red) ‘do has really boomed online – with many bloggers branding her as an absolute fashion inspiration.
SIGNATURE STYLE: Well, anyone who can successfully mix a skinny band tee with a polka dot pencil skirt gets a thumbs up from us. Check out more of her punk-fused looks on her blog Style Devil.

The 2011 Style Blogger 'It' List
A quick look at any of the many amalgamated personal style websites like Chictopia or Lookbook and it’s hard to not be overwhelmed by all of the outfits on offer. In fact, it’s positively saturated, and sifting through the average to find the extremely good is a time consuming and exhausting task (not to mention, rather depressing for the morale of one’s own sad little wardrobe!). I spend more than enough time trawling said websites and blogs, so I’ve done the hard work for you. So I picked the top eight online ladies that you MUST keep googling for 2012. Some you may have heard of, some may be total newbies to you – either way, they've been a fashpiration all year and we can't wait to see their next sartorial moves...
Atlantic Pacific
This Californian Fashion Merchandiser sums up the new type of fierce – not all tough and harsh – but where wearing killer heels, looking ultra-groomed and buying only the very best are all top priorities. Her look defines luxury.
Stella Katterman of Stella’s Wardrobe
London-based student Stella has so much fun with her wardrobe that we can help but fall in love with each and every outfit. Her signature thick, black eyeliner and blunt fringe only enhance her natty and sometimes nutty little looks. She was recently snapped for Style Hunter’s trip to the Tiffany Ice Rink at Somerset House.
Karla Deras of Karla’s Closet
Just how insanely beautiful is Californian Karla? Her wardrobe is brimming with brilliant designer and vintage finds. She’s nailed a modern femininity we’d love to emulate. This girl has sooo many fabulous dresses – and totally owns that cropped ‘do.
Rosalind Jana of Clothes Camera and Coffee
16 year old student Rosalind basically plays a wonderful game of fancy dress-up and takes dramatic photos using a background of what she describes as her home in ‘the rolling hills of England’. We adore her outfits, but love her write-ups even more!
Aimee Song of Song of Style
Blogger Aimee exudes laidback L.A. coolness with every ankle-booted step she takes. Her swishy hair, a mixture of off-duty labels like Alexander Wang paired up with thrifty pieces and her pitch-perfect accessorising has us hooked.
Ebba Zingmark
Swedish Ebba has quite a following. It’s no wonder when she manages to casual so very well. Her fiery locks are always complimented by gorgeous colour combinations, too.
Severine Cristine of Clothed Chameleon
You may recognise Severine as one of Style Hunters most stylish girls this winter, but we’ve been following this hippy 23 year old jewellery designer for quite some time. She mixes up grunge with a hippy ‘70s Woodstock vibe and we can’t get enough of it. Swoooon.
Annemiek Kessels of Mode D’Amour
No one online does boyish quite like Netherlands fashion student, Annemiek. She’s given baseball caps and sneakers their cool back!
