We decided to take a few of our favourite street style shots that showcase spring/summer trends and create outfits based on them, focusing on the elements that we believe really make the look and giving them a Bicyclette spin. With an order of Deux Lux that just arrived and a few pieces from Lauren Elan‘s new collection, we had fun playing with new accessories and styles that touched on brights, florals and pastels.

Pssst! One of Bicyclette’s favourite west coast bloggers, Taylor of Sterling Style, was spotted wearing the Wildfox Couture Tea Roses Tee from the shop, styling it with the ever-fantastic James Jeans and a little bit of glitz, in true Bicyclette fashion.

It’s always fun to see how other people style their Bicyclette pieces, so when someone mentioned they saw a Bicyclette dress in Flare’s online Street Style section, I was excited to see that it was Gloria from Urbane Bloc. I had the pleasure of meeting Gloria a few weeks ago at The Clothing Show, and have been a longtime reader of the blog, which made the discovery even better.
She’s wearing the Dolce Vita Sylvia dress, one of our favourites from the Summer collection and perfect transitioned into Fall with tights and leather, exactly how Gloria styled it.

Love the simplicity of this look and the gorgeous minty colour. The simple layered accessories and the long length. I’m currently on a hunt for long skirts and dresses for the shop, as I think they make the perfect transitional piece.

I can’t believe it’s August. Where has the summer gone? But a new month means a new advertising opportunity, and this month I am pleased to be sponsoring Sterling Style. One of the reasons why I chose this blog in particular is because I feel that Taylor’s aesthetic and style are closely aligned with that of Bicyclette, and her and her blog have always been a source of inspiration for me. I love her tendency towards romantic and feminine pieces while still incorporating edgier accents and unexpected details into an outfit. Needless to say, I’m excited to be working with Taylor and Sterling Style, and I can assure you that you will be seeing more of this collaboration in the near future!
Can you spot the new Bicyclette ad design?
Also, be sure to check out two other blogs that Bicyclette is supporting again this month: Bleubird Vintage and Final Fashion.
This photo is just so perfect. I fell in love with it immediately and had to share.
That is all!

Another Wildfox shoot for Resort ’10: “USA”. I believe this collection consists primarily of reissues of their bestselling, classic styles. I think the blurb from their blog sums it up nicely:
“When you start to feel down about the weather or your location, just take a local tour bus ride or a road trip to LA. That’s what we did! When you are with beautiful, Australian “it” girl, Tiernan Cowling, and Mark the Cobrasnake, life is always a vacation; Especially now that Tiernan’s moved to California. We chased her down Hollywood BLVD, sprawled out across the stars, bought maps to the stars homes and filled bags with fake oscars. We ran to the top of the tour bus right before the driver left, the air felt great up there as we whizzed past In N Out burger and Chateau Marmont. We jumped off the bus at McDonalds and got soft serve ice cream, we fell even more in love with LA and each other.”
Curious if you’re drawn to photo shoots like this, which are more spur-of-the-moment and street style focused, or prefer more orchestrated and studio-oriented shoots? I suppose there’s a time and place for both …
Ever since I started haunting street-style blogs, they’ve been my number one choice for outfit inspiration and a reference for my bicyclette buys. I don’t read magazines nearly as much as I used to, partially because I find a lot of the styling unwearable and the clothing out of my reach, so instead I turn to online sources.
Garance Dore, with her witty, honest writing style and beautiful photos of beautiful girls is always a pleasure to look at, and I love the simplicity of her one shot per post style. Today’s outfit inspiration is drawn from here, and I think it’s perfect for the transitioning of seasons and the onset of light layers.
There’s something about letting a little lace peek out and embracing the lingerie-inspired trend with a soft palette of neutrals and blush tones. And so, I decided to piece together my own outfit.
I happen to already own this gray lounge dress, so I might have to attempt this look myself, I’m just missing the perfectly-edged lace dress.
And that bag, what do you think? I’m a little bit obsessed with it … and the whole line, really.
Dear Perfectly-Dressed-Girl,
Your outfit is styled with perfection and you exude an effortless chic that I strive to obtain. And your hair is amazing.
Thank you for the inspiration.
