Holy Grail of Inspiration

Auckland-based online fashion diarist Marcella of Fashion Distraction tells trend-spotting site StyleCaster about her inspirations and icons, and gives advice to the would-be style blogger. StyleCaster reporter Kelly Mullins writes: “Coming across [Marcella’s] blog was like unearthing the Holy Grail of outfit inspiration. The girl can go from cool, laidback bohemian/rocker babe one day to chic, put together Celine inspired professional the next.” For inspiration Marcella reads other blogs, fashion magazines, and streetstyle sites. “I try to blend all the different elements which inspire me with my own spin into my outfits,” she says. Born in Hong Kong, but raised in New Zealand, Marcella recently completed a double degree at the University of Auckland. She began Fashion Distraction in 28.
