• INSPIRING WIT // STYLE BLOGGER SPOTLIGHT

    Inspiring Wit fashion blogger in Hello Parry

    To kick off a series of style spotlights on some of our favourite fashion bloggers (who love Hello Parry!) we chat to fashion and travel blogger Jenelle of Inspiring Wit. With plenty of blogger babes wearing Hello Parry, make sure to sign up to our newsletter to keep up to date! 

    Jenelle incorporates a little bit of rock-n-roll cool into every outfit for a relaxed and playful vibe. As a wannabe Parisian, Jenelle is influenced by the nonchalant attitudes of the essential French style. We chat to Jenelle about what is on her lust list this winter. 

    HELLO PARRY: How did Inspiring Wit start?

    INSPIRING WIT: I had been blogging for a few years before I decided to take it more seriously and rebranded to Inspiring Wit. The idea is to have a place where travellers and fashion lovers can find inspiration that is both accessible and exciting. 

    The brilliant part has been how many people I have met from all over the world who I would otherwise have never met. Blogging has brought so many cool people into my life and given me opportunities to share things with people that I am truly passionate about. 

    HP: Describe your personal style in one sentence:

    IW: My personal style is French inspired for the modern Australian woman. I love to be comfortable and fuss free, but I seriously LOVE fashion. It is on my mind almost all day. I am always thinking about colour themes, silhouettes and textiles.

    HP: What's in your bag?

    IW: Three sets of keys (home/car, office, other car), a Louis Vuitton card wallet, my iPhone, Kora Organics lip gloss, at least three lipsticks (by TMF cosmetics, bareMinerals and MAC), hypo-allergenic band-aids, hair ties and a glasses cleaning cloth. I use mini bags all the time so nothing really fits! Then I chuck the small bag and everything else I actually need into a basket bag. This is where my notebooks, water bottle, an orange or apple and camera go.

    HP: Who are your style icons?

    IW: Erin Wasson, Clemence Posey, Emmanuelle Alt, Lauren Hutton, Caroline de Maigret, Giorgia Tordini, Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen.

    HP: How would you spend your last $50?

    IW: I think I'd stretch it out as long as possible. Ironically paying for parking would probably get me. 

    HP: What five items would make up your perfect wardrobe?

    IW: A black blazer, a moto black jacket, jeans, a summer wrap dress and my buckled ankle boots.

    HP: Current obsessions?

    IW: Red anything, low heel pumps, gold hoop earrings, ruffled wrap dresses and acai bowls. 

    HP: What three items are on your Hello Parry wish list?

    At the moment I am really loving midi skirts, long cardigans and statement tops. 

    Hello Parry have so many beautiful cardigans and knits coming in at the moment, which is perfect for a relaxed winter look. I love wearing a long cardigan over a jeans and tee look or a simple slip dress. This is obviously the year of statement sleeves and Hello Parry are doing all kinds of ruffled, flared sleeve and striped options. Plus I have only just really discovered midi skirts, so I am trying to wear them non-stop at the moment.

  • Style Spotlight // A Minute Away From Snowing

    A long-time love of Hello Parry, Michelle blogs over at A Minute Away From Snowing on all things fashion, travel and lifestyle, as well as for Vogue Australia via their Spy Style blogging network.

    Since we are always so inspired by her effortless style and knack for combining high street finds with her designer classics, we caught up with Michelle on her wardrobe essentials, current obsessions, and what's currently trending on her Hello Parry radar. 

    How did A Minute Away From Snowing start?

    A Minute Away From Snowing came about as a fluffy, superficial, peripheral escape from the 9-5 daily grind and has become a little place where I share my wanderlust and inspiration for all things fashion, lifestyle and travel. After working on it for years as a side hobby, I recently decided to give up the day job to start freelancing as well as give my blog 100% focus. It's something I've always wanted to do and I can't wait to see how far I can take it. I'm working on a few exciting freelancing projects at the moment, which I owe all of it to the late nights and weekends I've spent working on my blog over the past few years. It's been such a long but rewarding road but it's a huge passion of mine that it never really feels like work.

    Describe your personal style in one sentence:

    If you asked my husband - all messy hair and mismatched socks; but on a good day, I try to dress classic, smart, French voguette-inspired and casually sophisticated with a twist.

    What's on your bedside table?

    My Kindle, a couple of Wallpaper travel guides for my upcoming Europe holiday, a Diptyque candle, and a framed photo of my grandparents from the 1950s.

    How would you spend your last $50?

    Flowers and breakfast at Mary Street Bakery with my best friend.

    What five items would make up your perfect wardrobe?

    A striped breton top, Chloe ankle boots, an oversized coat, my Celine Trio in dark navy, and black matchstick trousers.

    Current obsessions?

    Packing lists, burning my favourite candles before bed, coats that feel like a warm hug on a cold winter's day, bikram yoga after a long day in front of the computer, and wrapping my hands around a mug of Ginger Spice tea from T2 (a new favourite of mine - the cinnamon, ginger and orange notes work so deliciously with warm milk).

    What three items are on your Hello Parry wishlist?

    Tiffany Mint Oversize Coat, Stella Tunic Dress, and the black Savi Lace Cut Out Skirt which I'd style with an oversized, chunky sweater.
