My Favorite Floridians
Dress || Sandals (Similar) || Clutch || Earrings || Bracelet
St. Pete, Florida is known for many things, but it’s certainly not known for its fashion sense. Since moving back, it’s honestly been more of a struggle than I realized to readjust to the culture of my city. I really embraced and loved the conservative style of the Upper East Side in Manhattan. Sadly, that would look so out of place in the Sunshine City. Lucky for me, I have a team of favorite Floridians who I look to help me find my groove again. If you are a fellow Floridian in need of some style inspiration, here’s a quick look at who I recommend.
Ashley Brooke from Ashley Brooke Designs
Based in Orlando, I think Ashley Brooke has completely mastered the art of feminine and romantic style. Her blog is a balanced mixture of fashion, decor, and beauty tutorials. If you want to be inspired by seemingly daring pieces brought into a classic light, then AB is who you need to see.
Allegra from Very Allegra
In the other corner of Florida, calling picturesque Palm Beach home, you will find Allegra. I personally would describe her style as effortless. No one in the blogging world mixes high and low pieces better to make for truly inspired boho style. Whether you want to try her yummy recipes or take a peek at her luxury travels, you will enjoy every moment of her journey.
Beth and Danielle from Palm Beach Lately
You get two Floridians for the price of one with this blog, also from Palm Beach. Their joint effort to be the official ambassadors of Palm Beach makes me want to book a room at the Colony daily. It’s double the fun with their sweet style that is simply quintessential Palm Beach.
Caroline at LCB Style
Although the newest Floridian on my list, she absolutely embraces the Sunshine State lifestyle. Living in Palm Beach looks so good on her and it’s been fun to see the adventures in her new state. Learning about Florida’s polo scene from her is only an added bonus.
Stephanie at The Style Bungalow
One last favorite from Palm Beach, but I’m starting to see a pattern. Each and every one of her posts is beautifully styled with looks I couldn’t even dream about. Her background as a ballerina shows as she effortlessly glides along my Instagram feed. Recently, she redesigned her apartment and I’m instantly itching for the opportunity too.
Kristin at Color by K
Technically not a Floridian right now, but has a lot of connections to South Florida and had to make my list. Her Charleston style would be just about perfect in St. Pete and I find myself constantly looking to her for inspiration. No one wears a midi skirt or dress quite as well as her. With Kristin, you’re also going to find a lot of inspiration for entertaining with stunning table scapes.
Sarah at Sarah Tucker
Sarah is just a stone’s throw away in Palmetto. While I’m not a mom yet, she is most certainly inspiration for the future. Her classic style is coupled with amazing family travel around the world. More importantly, she does a great job of snapshotting the best that Florida has to offer.
Gentry at Girl Meets Bow
This final lady is practically my neighbor here in St. Pete. I’ve had the pleasure of getting to know her over the years and we even had a little rendezvous together while she was in NYC for work. Her style is best described as cheerful and sunny. Be sure to follow along as this bride-to-be plans her Florida wedding.
From the Panhandle and all the way down to the Keys, every corner of the Sunshine State has its own personal style. Whether you live close by, or anywhere else in the country, don’t forget to look to Florida for unique inspiration.
Love from Florida,
Katie
