A fashion stylist's pick of the week: accessories

I've posted about the Lovisa style blog before. They dub themselves "the fashion jewellery and hair accessories mecca", which is a fair title if you look at their blog posts and their careful compilation of the latest accessories for sale in Australia. If you're after inspiration for a hairdo or just want to muse at the gorgeous accessories, head over to their blog now.

I leave you with their last to months' worth of Pick of the Week.

Bridal hair by Lovisa style box

Lovisa is a style blog with lush pictures and inspiration boards on the latest fashion and accessories. They usually feature behind-the-scenes pictures of magazine photo shoots, giving you an insight into what the stylists are into before the glossies hit the stands.
