Desperately seeking style inspiration? Click the follow button on these six fashionistas...

Mimi Elashiry - @mimielashiry

You know that feeling of excitement you get when you discover a new blog or Instagram account? When you have so many beautiful new images to scroll through you don't know how you're going to get any more work done? Well maybe wait until knock off time before you get sucked into the Mimi Elashiry vortex then. This globe-trotting Aussie would look more at home walking barefoot across a flower-covered field or white sand beach than on a catwalk, she's that girl you want to be at a music festival and she's just signed on as the ambassador for MTV Style. She's the ultimate fashionable free spirit, crystals and all.

Jessie Bush - @wethepeoplestyle

Jessie Bush began her fashion journey in Wellington and it's taken her around the world, photographing street style, her own personal style, beauty and still life on her blog We The People. Now settled in London, Jessie's Instagram is minimalistic styling perfection - clean lines, denim, plenty of monochrome and one oh-so-perfect platinum bob, so it's no surprise this talented Kiwi has been published in some of the world's greatest glossies. We're talking British Vogue, Marie Claire US, Glamour US and Harpers Bazaar Australia, to name just a few. That's one heck of a resume.

Margaret Zhang - @margaret__zhang

It's hard to believe that Margaret Zhang has the same number of hours in the day as the rest of us, what with juggling writing, styling, photography, creative directing and, wait for it, a Bachelor of Commerce/Bachelor of Laws at The University of Sydney. Exhausted yet? Last year Zhang featured on E!'s reality show Fashion Bloggers and won us over not only with her edgy-yet-covetable style, but with her super down-to-earth personality. Her blog Shine By Three showcases stunning editorials, interviews, fashion news and more, proving to even the biggest sceptics that fashion blogging is serious business.

Natasha Oakley - @tashoakley

One half of the swimwear obsessed duo behind the blog A Bikini A Day, Natasha Oakley's Instagram is a 'kini lover's dream. Snapped pool and beachside everywhere from Bali to Bondi, this Australian beauty is a walking billboard for the ultimate bikini bod. Rarely snapped in the same two-piece twice, Natasha's posts showcase swimwear from around the globe, along with her awe-inspiring travel adventures seeking the eternal summer. We're not jealous at all.

Kirsty Godso - @kirstygodso

She's a Nike Master Trainer, head trainer for Les Mills GRIT and brand manager for Les Mills International, so while Aucklander Kirsty Godso isn't your typical fashion personality, one look at her Instagram will tell you why she's made our list. Most often dressed in top to toe lycra, Kirsty's Nike-packed closet is the stuff our workout dreams are made of. And since she works for the iconic sportswear brand, Kirsty's often snapped wearing the latest threads and kicks before everyone else. If only Instagram had an 'Add to Cart' button.

Gigi Hadid - @gigihadid

Gigi Hadid is already the name on everybody's lips for 2015. Kicking off her career at the tender age of two as a model for Guess Kids, some 17 year's later, the Californian stunner has become the newest face of Maybelline New York. The wardrobe of this 19-year-old is far removed from that of your typical teen - it's classy, refined and tasteful with the right amount of sauciness to still be deemed age appropriate. Not what you'd expect from a regular on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, huh?
