I am obsessed with fashion blogs at the moment. My current favourite is ‘What Katie Wore’. It’s a blog written by Katie’s boyfriend who challenged himself to document what his eclectic and colourful lady wears everyday for a year, whilst she had to make sure it was something different everyday ( it’s like a more personal version of The Sartorialist.) It ticks all the boxes for me – pretty clothes and  a peek into someone else’s, far cooler, life. The sweetest thing is thats it is also like a 21st century love letter by him to her, capturing all the little quirks he loves about his girlfriend….all together now, awww. It’s www.whatkatiewore.com

Another one i just found was the writings of a slightly weird but compulsive mini fashionista called Tavi Gevinson who has taken the US fashion scene by storm (http://tavi-thenewgirlintown.blogspot.com/)  She describes herself as a ‘tiny 13-year-old dork that sits inside all day wearing awkward jackets and pretty hats’ and writes incredibly eloquently on all the season’s shows, what she’s wearing and dissecting the latest collections. At first people naturally assumed it was a fake, but Tavi then took a week off school to visit New York fashion week (accompanied by her dad who is a teacher and waited for her outside the show…) and since then has been courted by some of the biggest names in fashion and graced the cover of Pop magazine.

Obviously it is a bit insane to be interested in a 13 year old’s thoughts on fashion as a grown person, but I think it’s pretty interesting to see how influential these bloggers have / are becoming and the coverage they have been receiving in the wider press…..All hail the power of the blog!
