Mimosas and Manhattan | Inspired By…

Inspired by…. (blank). A question so constantly asked to bloggers. Tbh we are inspired by EVERYTHING. Our lives are constantly filled with travel, people, places.. FASHION that take us to another world or inspires our next outfit. However we are also constantly inspired by each other. Other bloggers and influencers that are doing exactly what we are doing. To be clear there is fine line between pure inspiration and direct copying (we have actually had to deal with this this past month… it does not make for a happy Courtney or Kelly).

But it is important to find other girls in this same field that you admire and even look up to. Whether it be for their writing, photography, editing, styling, humor or personality. Kelly and I are learning more and more lately that we only want to continue to follow other bloggers that portray a REAL & HONEST lifestyle. They are not afraid to say they are not perfect. So sit back and relax and get inspired by the 9 influences that bring that extra bit of joy to our lives.

Cait of How Do You Wear That – Every photo she takes brings a smile to our faces! Her feed is dreamy, perfectly put together and makes you want to live in every frame. She is also one of the sweetest girls you will ever meet and is so humble even through all of her successes. Thanks for being so true to yourself 🙂

Lex of Lexicon Of Style – OKAY OKAY WE MAY BE BIASED BECAUSE WE LOVE HER SO MUCH. But! She has legit the coolest style of any one we know. We love how she steps outside the box and doesn’t fall victim to the current trends aka “Gucci Belts.” She is a mix of vintage, high end, low end, bargains and puts outfits together like some award winning stylist. She also doesn’t take herself seriously which means we tend to have way too much fun together.

Kathleen of CarrieBradShawLied – We have loved Kathleen since we first started our blog 4 years ago. We loved her even more when we met her at NYFW 2 years ago. She is one of the most down to earth, funny, wine loving women we have ever met. Her insta stories will make you laugh out loud and she doesn’t hide who she is. This is something that is truly missing in the blogging world these days.

Payton of HustleandHalcyon – Payton! Seems like just yesterday this little one was flying from Texas to NYC and we got to meet her over our mutual love for each other via the gram. Payton is the prime example of NO FILTER attitude. As we spoke about earlier there needs to be more girls who aren’t afraid to portray an imperfect lifestyle. We love that you show every aspect of your personality in your writing and we will always be inspired by that! Keep doing you it is so admired.

Alice & Hannah of BelleandBunty – We have to give it up for the duo girl bloggers. There are many of them out there but few that do it right. These girls do it to a tee and we are constantly inspired by the way they style their looks to be one and their overall feminine girly vibe. You girls make being a woman fun and we will always be fan girls of you two London babes!

Kate of KateMaree – This girl is about to blow up and we cannot wait for when she does. Kate is seriously the master of editing and bohemian vibes. Between all of the city/nyc imagery on our page we are always in need of a care free stylish babe like you. Thank you for bringing our love of small town and flower child vibes to life. 🙂

Courtney of Color Me Courtney – Woo! Courtney! A blogger we have followed since the beginning. We are CONSTANTLY inspired by your body positivity and overall positive demeanor. There can be so much negativity in blogging but you do all you can to never let that bring you or this community down. We love your openness and constantly push ourselves to share more and bring our walls down. Thank you for being you!

Thania of Catcher In The Style – This is an influencer whose style we just fawn over. So many bloggers strive to tell a story with their images and Thania does it so perfectly, from everything to her clothes, to her surroundings to even the weather. Her readers are able to grasp the message she is sending. Keep telling those stories babe 🙂

Noelle of Noelle’s Favorite Things – To the girl that makes us want to wear more red lipstick, eat more macaroon’s and drink more coffee. Thank you for your inspiring POV and stunning photography. You give us all the itch to move to Greenpoint and live life to the fullest, with a few balloons of course.
