Favorite Fashion/Beauty Blogs and Vlogs!

I would like to dedicate my first post to my inspirations on the internet. These are women (and men) who have an interest in fashion and beauty and have been very successful in showcasing the art of fashion and beauty.





1. Fashion Toast


Her name is Rumi and she started her blog fashiontoast back in November 2007 on blogspot.com. I would describe her style as "urban chic", but she has also been known to throw in a bit of bohemian inspried looks as well. If you like Mary-Kate and Ashley's Elizabeth and James line, the Balenciaga motorcycle trend, or American Apparel, you will love this girl's styles. It doesn't hurt either that she is gorgeous to boot.

I believe her boyfriend takes many of her photos which have 'cool' angles and shadows which really help draw blog-lovers into Rumi's fashion world.





2. The Sartorialist


What fashion blog list would be complete without The Sartorialist!? This website is the "go-to" website on the internet when it comes to fashion blogging. The Sartorialist is the future of fashion photography.

The Sartorialist has very "expensive" taste in my opinion but the people he snaps always look so effortless, yet sophisticated and regal. He travels all over the world, and truly gets a glimpse of people who look alive.

Since The Sartorialist has been around for around 4-5 years now, it has gotten its fair share of critics. However, regardless of the critics, you can't deny The Sartorialist's eye for all-around well-dressed people who truly represent and embody the beautiful cities where they are "discovered". Beautiful concept, amazingly simple website. Haters to the left.





3. Juicy Star 07


This is a new favorite of mine. I have been recently introduced to an even more interactive type of internet blogging - VLOGGING!

I never thought I would listen (slash) admire a 16 year olds beauty advice so much. Okay, some people find "Blair's" southern accent and voice a little grating, but I think she is adorable, cheerful and full of life. Not only that, but she really seems to have a passion that goes beyond self-promotion. She is bursting with energy when it comes to her favorite subject: make-up! I recommend her eyeshadow tutorials any day.

This girl is too cute and I think she is definitely worth a looksie. Her make-up collections (and nail polish collections too!) are to die for.





4. The Fashion Spot


So this is not exactly a blog, but this is the ultimate fashion website on the internet hands-down. This is a messageboard community for those interested in fashion and it is invite only. You have many people here who work in the fashion industry, or aspire to work in the industry. This website is useful for not only fashionistas, but also fashion-oriented businesses that want to forecast trends and find some inspiration. Nothing can be more inspring that a group of fashionistas. This website introduced me to fashiontoast.com and has also provided me with FREE access to celebrity "style" photos - which are truly determine and predict trends!

So these are just some of the blogs and websites I frequent daily. Let me know what you think. What are your favorite fashion/beauty websites? Do you have a blog?
