My style icons: Audrey Leighton



ALL IMAGES LINK BACK TO THEIR ORIGINAL POST

If you're an avid reader of fashion blogs then you have probably already heard of Audrey, the girl behind befrassy.com.  With a quirky sense of style, this too-cool for words lady serves up a daily dose of fashion inspiration that will leave you coming back for more.  I found her blog a few months ago and I have been reading religiously since!  At the age of only twenty three she has lived in more countries than some people even travel to in their LIFETIME, and amazingly she's now living in Paris (ah oui!) which creates amazing backdrops for her daily outfit photos.  The thing which drew me to her was her brave choice of outfits and her unique sense of style and reading her blog has taught me a valuable lesson about fashion: to have fun with it (see last picture).  In her words: "...I am constantly encouraging: be yourself, dress for yourself. Keep true and instead of taking "fashion" seriously, put all importance on your clothes and how they make you feel. Because in my mind, if it isn't fun, then it isn't fashion!", how great is that?  I am definitely starting to step outside of my comfort zone thanks to Audrey.
Her blog has come so far, especially with her recently starting up her online shop 'Frassy Rags', and she really does deserve it.  You can tell from every one of her posts that she is in love with fashion, which is exactly what fashion blogging should be all about, really!  Not the free things or how 'rubbish' you think your blog is compared to someone else, but as long as you are passionate about fashion then you should be proud of what you are doing.
