 Clutch 22
Apart from being an appealing fashion and shopping blog to read, it is also really organized.  Interesting links are easy to locate because it does not go OTT (Over The Top).  It really does focus on how to bag bargains, however it is based on Stateside retailers.  Nonetheless, it helps to know these things on a global basis.

For a ‘girl next door’ to be blogging this way, this sight looks very professional.  The photography is appealing, the page is clean and clear, this blog looks editorial.  Yet she speaks from the heart, you can clearly pick up on the author’s fashion ‘obsession’.  It covers everything from photo shoots, to clothes she wears and trends she sees, to retailers such as Forever 21 .  Again another blog focusing on American retailers!  Tsk tsk, this compelling read needs to be brought over!

Dream Sequins
This is a very fun name – we like it!  It seems more like a lifestyle blog that incorporates fashion on a high level.  Her everyday musings, fashion statements and even any interesting meals she has eaten, making this very real.  However, she also shows her creative element through interviews with other top fashion bloggers, twitter topics of interest as well as designer profiles.  This one works!

La Petite Fashionista
This one is fun and frivolous, reflecting a college writer.  But even so, her writing is proficient, and she definitely knows how to make a page work for her.  We love the three small tabs at the end of each entry, because they are colourful, bright and concise, making the reader want more.  This blog is eclectic in terms of page styling, but completely fashion oriented in content.  This is one to keep on observing…

WHERE’S TOP 10 FASHION BLOGS

Tuesday, June 2nd, 2009

We at Where Fashions have been scouring the net for the most interesting and captivating blogs out there. Rummaging through different fashion magazines’ musings, we have collated our favourite top ten. Tell us what you think…

style-bubble

Style Bubble blog
Featured in Thursday’s Metro (28 May 2009), everyone now knows this one! So it was inevitable for Miss Susie’s blog to be on our top 10. This blog is extremely personal, an easy read, but not at all frivolous. It is inspiring to see the blogger herself style herself up in new designer gear while she writes about her musings. It is only set to get better and better.

The Cool Hunter

The Cool Hunter
This one was a keeper! It focuses on fashion trends, as well as style within music, architecture, cultural movements, interior design and the like. And for a magazine that covers so much content, its page is surprisingly not ‘busy’ – it is bright and edgy, but very easy to navigate. This one with help you hunt out the cool factor!

refinery29logo

Refinery29 blog
Refinery29 has a very individual, high fashion style. Its blog page is clear and elegant, set up quite similar to the New York Times and The Sartorialist. It features a list called ‘Tip Us Off’, their list of inspirational websites, which we also found very interesting. Do look at the rest of the magazine; they have a style section that breaks down a celeb’s look and shows you how you can get it. Definitely refined!
hint-magazine

Hint Fashion magazine blog
How cool: “have an idea for the Hint blog – email us”. Talk about sticking to their name, and hinting at what you would like to read about. This magazine blog was less intimidating because of the way it was written and set up. Still covering high fashion, with edgy editorial photographs, this still felt quite personalised, making it an easy and informative read.

fashion-156

Fashion156 blog
This is a London based magazine featuring the latest goings-on in the fashion realm. Predominantly featuring extremely edgy photographs, we couldn’t help but stare at the pictures! They are awe-inspiring. This is definitely one to inspire avant-garde photo shoots!vlogo_new
V Magazine blog
V magazine has always been known for their underground stance in fashion and art. This is why their blog features less writing and more pictures – absolutely stunning; you actually feel like you are behind the scenes at these fashion shows. Very kooky and quirky! We like!

themoment_logo

The Moment blog
As part of the New York Times Style magazine, this blog has a clean editorial feel. Just like The New York times itself. It covers men and women’s fashion, as well as design, food and travel. Its content is cultured and worldly – there are numerous interesting topics for everyone. This blog is a must!

style-sightings

Style Sightings
The best way to describe this is a picture blog. Run by some of the ladies at StyleSight, this blog illustrates trends happening at street level. Its striking pictures look like they were taken as part of a photo shoot, meaning the readers will then take these trends seriously. And the great thing is, StyleSightings reports from all the fashion hotspots around the globe: London, LA, New York. Great website for inspiration!

shoe-wawa

Shoewawa
A website dedicated to the coolest of shoes. The most recent blog post is ridiculously crazy – in a good way! A shoe with a 16cm heel and no middle? Wow. Large photos and a few brief writings make this website a breeze to read and check out the latest fashions (and where you can get them) within the footwear realm.

style-es

Street styles blog
Rather than a writing blog, this is a gallery blog. But the best part of it all…this one summarises a number of the best fashion blogs all on one page! And another nifty element, this blog lets the reader know when all these other fashion blogs were updated! So instead of trailing through a number of websites, go to this one first to find the photographs that inspire you the most! A photographic directory…nice one!
