We follow a lot of hard-edged gals with awesome androgynous style, but sometimes we stumble across an insta queen who makes girly stuff look totally cool, like Carrie Harwood of Wish Wish Wish. She makes us want to wear a tutu, for starters, which is no mean feat.

We caught up with Carrie to get a peep inside her stylish life full of cat prints, posies and rainbow cake, and work out how we could work her pretty, vintage-y look...

'I'm obsessed with hats, I feel naked without some sort of hat on my head,' says Carrie.

Her Catwalk Inspo

 

'I loved the Saint Laurent a/w14 collection - ruffled collars, velvet, a minimal palette - oh what I'd do for a few of those dresses!'

Even If You're A Girly-Girl, Rock Some Ripped Jeans

 

'While I spend lots of time in skirts and dresses, I no-so-secretly love dressing down in a pair of ripped-up skinny jeans, a band tee and boots,' says Carrie.

It Helps If Your Mates Are Super Stylish

 

'I'd be all over my friend's clothes if I were the same size as them!' says Carrie. 'Although, as it turns out, my friend Olivia (whatoliviadid.com) and I often end up buying the same pieces without even realising, so there is no need. I'm lucky to have a bunch of inspirational blogger ladies as my besties (fivefivefabulous, shinythoughts, dearestdeer, iwantyoutoknow) so I'm always surrounded by great outfits.' If you don't have such stylish gal-pals, better follow this lot on insta too.

Forget Any Rules

 

'I don't like to follow too many rules when it comes to getting dressed,' Carrie explains. 'I do like to keep it pretty minimal though - a killer hat, a cross-body bag and a couple of pieces of simple jewellery and I'm ready to go.'

Look To The Sixties

 

'The beautiful Anna Karina in her '60s films is one of my style icons - she's my beauty inspo, too,' says Carrie.

**Hunt Down The Tiny Details **

 

'There are days when I shove on whatever is nearest, but of course there are also days where things don't quite go to plan and I end up emptying my drawers to find one item in particular,' Carrie explains. If you spend any length of time on Carrie's blog, you're going to pick up on a theme - she loves a good cat motif.
