Inspired by italian blogger Chiara Ferragni and her “A Lovely Day with 7 For All Mankind” shooting around in Los Angeles, we decided to show you some more beauties at the beach…

…and what’s better than some snaps by south african photographer Henrik Purienne?

First of all, Purienne is out now with a new book: a 240 pages and hardcover publication that definitely deserve all your attention!

The fashion photographer owes its success to his portraits of beautiful girls that are just having a girly-fun-time at the beach, representing the american dream of almost ridiculously good-looking blondie and brunette chicks wearing nothing more than a bikini… and sometimes not even that one!

A little bit of Italy in the USA…. 

We spent a whole day running around between Venice Beach and Santa Monica with one of our favorite bloggers, the popular and super italian Chiara Ferragni, aka The Blonde Salad!

“Well, I decided to live one of my last days in California exactly in this way: good music, a lot of smiles and one only partner: 7 for all mankind!“

7 For All Mankind spent some time with her, jammin’ to her california dreaming songs…

“Some of you will remember that one of the things that I always love doing is imagining a soundtrack throughout my journeys. Just set foot on the dock, headphones in my ears and lets go ‘But on the telephone line I am anyone, I am anything I want to be.. I could be a supermodel or Norman Mailer and you wouldn’t know the difference or would you?‘… couldn’t have made a more obvious choice but would It have been such romantic? Santa Monica from Savage Garden! Listen to it and feel the breeze of the wind blowing through your hair and smell the sea air refreshing your soul.“

“Elegance is the only beauty that never fades” – Audrey Hepburn

Clothes, clothes, clothes… we can’t get enough of them! Yet in this fast-moving world of fashion, we are true believers that a girl must radiate elegance from top to toe, no matter what her style or trend. So our top tip this Friday is to make yourself happy knowing that whatever you wear is a true statement to who you are. One blogger, who we think has elegance entwined perfectly with her own personal style, is Irene from the blog Irene’s Closet.

In the past we’ve featured Irene in some of our blogs with her chic 7FAM outfits, with her favourite pair being the bootcut style jeans. This week we wanted to hone in on her trend-led style, which is utterly effortless to the tee.  Starting her blog in 2009, Irene has been sure to show off her fabulous quirky Italian outfits to her fans that are always immaculately put together. Paired with statement accessories that anyone would love to have in their wardrobes, whether it’s an oversized jumper, studded bag or winter accessories to keep her warm in the snow.

Irene radiates the 7FAM look both inside and out and we think she is a style-conscious fashionista who everyone should follow for some great inspirations for your own wardrobe. Whatever the season, Irene oozes new modern elegance and sophistication no matter what the occasion. You can follow Irene on Twitter @ireneccloset.

Gala Gonzalez of Amlul.com is a blogger we couldn’t resist showing you this week. Not only does she have a fantastic personal style but she also gets it right on every occasion. Gala is a Spanish stylist and creative director based in London. Her goals are to “display, share and learn” to captivate the heart of her style inspirations to share with her fans.

We think Gala’s style is chic, effortless and trend-led. We particularly love her in this photo below where she looks so happy and stylish in the snow in Scotland. With the stunning statement hat, parka coat and skinny jeans – this is such a great outfit that we just had to replicate it with some 7FAM pieces.

A good pair of skinnies is the essence to this outfit. The blue-black skinny gummy denim is the perfect pair, making you look and feel outrageously sexy and fitting to a tee! These jeans are lightweight and super stretchy to deliver supreme comfort yet dressed to kill on all occasions.

Team with this sensational burgundy leather parka down jacket. It will be your go-to jacket either for a countryside escape or urban adventure. Constructed with exceptionally soft Italian leather, this is a masterstroke of youthful femininity and practical casual chic that will ensure you are able to recreate Gala’s stunning style.

With the festive season over and we’re well into January it’s fair to say most of us are in search of motivation and inspiration, especially when it comes our 2013 wardrobe! Say goodbye to the black and grey outfits as the new season collections have started to trickle in, allowing us to embrace the bright spring colours once again. We couldn’t have been more excited to unearth this weeks Style Diary blogger, and we’re sure you’ll be wanting to recreate her look this year for sure! Read on to find out more…

The gorgeous Jazmine is behind the personal style blog Jazabelle’s Diary. Based in London, Jazmine has a sixth sense for styling and all things vintage-esque, which she demonstrates in her blog. With her dreamy photography and modelling ability we can see that Jazmine is always on trend, yet staying true to her personal style at all times. But it’s her effortless chic style, which we adore the most, particularly when we see her rock her denim jeans, which ties in with her statement jackets to create a trendsetter look.

Do you love Jazmine’s look as much as we do? You can begin to recreate her outfits with a few key pieces from 7FAM. Firstly choose your favourite pair of jeans. Are you more of a dark denim or coloured jean type of girl? We love the Olivya Leather Light Drill Black skinny jeans or if you’re looking for more colour go for the skinny Coloured Gummy Apricot jeans, which will give you the perfect look for Spring.

You’ll require a trend-led statement jacket like Jazmine to ooze confidence and personal identity. We’d recommend going for the Bomber in golden brown, which will bring the luxury element to the look. Alternatively, for a more tailored look, try the indigo denim stretch tailored jacket, which can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion and will definitely get you noticed. Finally, finish off adding some luxe accessories and a gorgeous pair of shoes and you will have Jazmine’s look in an instant.
