Always on the lookout for new blogs and fresh inspiration we recently started to follow a few of the design houses’ blogs. From JCrew and DKNY to one of our favourite edgy/feminine American brands Alice + Olivia. Their Tumblr is packed to the rafters with inspiration, New York moments, quirky pictures, vintage finds, party pics and fashion snaps. Our favourite category on the blog is State of Stacey.

 

Stacey Bennett is the fashion mind behind Alice + Olivia and we love how she shares her eclectic style, huge sunglasses, even huge(r) hats and creative energy.  Follow the blog here

For a trip to Disneyland with her family Stacey shared what she packed on the blog (this is why we love her):

Off to LA/Disneyland/San Francisco

The Packing Run Down:

Well…A full closet…obviously!

Well, there are the hats for Disneyland, I had to have Kokin make me a turquoise one so I stand out in the crowd.
Then I brought a black/white polka dot hat with a big bow in front so Minnie Mouse will want to be my friend.
An assortment of alice + olivia dresses.
Bright green and magenta Cady cuff shorts.
The new Fall 2 pleated one shoulder dress to wear to dinner at Soho House tonight.
The Fall jumpsuit to wear to dinner in Santa Monica tomorrow night.
Guidi grey back zip FLAT boots (if Eric is really telling the truth about all the walking at Disneyland).
My favorite YSL hot pink and bright coral lipsticks.
3 different sun blocks.
Wide leg Eric pants and the new alice + olivia cropped blazer with magenta lining.
Long rainbow pleated skirt and a solid white pleated skirt.
Vintage belts.
alice + olivia red patent Juliets.
