Ok so *technically* Freddie is originally French but this blogger, stylist and confidence coach lives in the UK now so that works....right? Either way the combination of the hair and the too cool for school wardrobe makes us swoon.

3. Bim Adewunmi

All you have to do is follow Bim's brilliant twitter feed to see how funny she is but be careful, you could end up spending all day on it especially if it's a Friday when she does #Bims10Things. She also happens to be the culture editor for Buzzfeed UK.

4. Shirley B. Eniang
