Real People+Fashion+Flickr= AN INTERNET OBSESSION


Oh holy fashion heaven! I've sat at cafes and stared at people walk by. I've silently judged and felt that nothing in a magazine could even begin to inspire me as much as the people I see on the street. Even the chicest of street fashion blogs such as The Sartorialist or Facehunter fail to capture the true vibe of everyday fashion. That is way I love, love, love wardrobe_remix. It has got to be one of the most interesting Flickr groups out there. Created in September 2005, it is a "DYI street fashion community". It's got over 36,000 photos, over 8,000 members, and it grows everyday. Thousands of women around the world post their daily outfits.

Whatever your style, there is true inspiration to be found amongst these photos. The outfits you'll find on wardrobe_remix aren't chosen because they are one person's idea of what is fashionable. It is a true documentation of the varied sensibilities and asthetic that exist in the world of fashion for "real women". It's especially fun to find that one person whose style you enjoy and track back to see all the outfits they've worn all year. Some real "wardrobe remix stars" standout. Check it out and be inspired.

One of the ways Bloggystyle spent it's winter days was obsessively surfing the web and in particular the Apartment Therapy website. Our obssession with the shelter site hasn't wavered one bit, in fact it has grown. And just in time for spring, AT is holding their annual Small Cool contest. There are some great little apartments featured. Take a look, find some inspiration, loose two hours of your day.

Hello Lovelies! Bloggystyle awakens after a loooong, cold, lonely winter.

After this very long, very cold season we are very happy to be back with the fresh eyes of a new born pup. So many new happennings, wine experiences, restaurants, stores , etc. to report on.
Here is a very enthusiastic glad-to-see-you-again "hello" and a big welcome-to-the-lovely-days- of-spring kiss from Bloggystyle.
