Legs, Doubletake

The Similarities between Garance Dore and The Sartorialist are overwhelming. The other day she posted a photo that seemed a little too familiar. This picture is of the same girl, in the same outfit as one that Scott Schuman posted last week. The location is different, the hair has changed, but these two lovebirds are losing themselves a bit. Which photo do you prefer?

And bonus points if you can guess which photographer took which photo......

Silk Turbans

So The Sartorialist and Garance Dore must be dating. The two fashion photographer bloggers have both posted a series of images of women wearing silk turbans this week. Also- she has been in New York all week. That's all I am saying. But turbans must be in a pre-trend stage, as I have yet to see any on real people recently. Garance writes, "And then I also like how sometimes, when I wake up with an unidentified hair-like object on my head, 'Oh hello Amy Winehouse,' my mirror says to me, I should say, this happens a lot more often than I’d like, but I like that I can just grab a headscarf, tie it up, and off we go." If only life could be that simple, I don't think I am quite ready to rock a turban, but these women look great. Am I alone here? Would you wear one?

Fashion Tweets

Garance Dore is on Twitter!

Ugh, she's so cool....
Also if you happen to be on twitter, make sure you are following TheMoment, NYTimesStyle, and Women'sWearDaily. Even in Pougkeepsie you can get play by play updates of global fashion.

Kim Kardashian's Blog/Thigh High Boots

So I didn't realize Kim Kardashian has a blog. Now I have a whole new way to procrastinate.
"Spring is here and my stylists, Monica, Angela and I hit up the stores to see what we could find. It seems as the day went on, my outfit kept changing! I stopped at Vionnet on Robertson and picked up a headband, then at Intermix I added on the camel leather cropped jacket, then at the end of the day my feet were killing me, so I bought some amazing thigh high suede boots that were flat so that I could make it through the rest of the day. They were 50% off, which was cool. I definitely love shopping. Who doesn't! I love to see what other stores have, compare it to Dash, and see what we could do better! Are you feeling my hippie look? I loved it!"
-Kim Kardashian
This is a girl who has two stylists and shops at Intermix. Why does she dress like this? Now Kim, I too love a good bargain but just because it's cheap doesn't mean it works on you. Thigh high boots are in and all but you don't need to do all these trends at once! It looks like this style might only work on super skinny french girls.

I Heard it Through the Grapevine...

If you are a fashion blog junkie, there are two blogs you almost definitely have bookmarked: The Sartorialist, and Garance Doré. For those of you who have yet to discover these fantastic blogs, the gentleman behind The Sartorialist is Scott Schuman, and the lady behind Garance Doré is, well, Garance Doré. Both blogs are all about street style, and while Garance's is mainly based in Paris and Scott's in New York, the two have become globe trotting style gurus, traveling to cities to snap pics of everyday individuals who have paid that special attention to detail, or given their outfit that interesting twist. WELL....







...the word on the street (blog gossip!!) is that the two are dating! I know that Scott has kids, and had thought he was still married, but I guess that's no longer the case.

A stylish looking duo indeed.

Bloggers: "The Future of Fashion?"

When most people think about the major power players in the fashion industry, usually editors, models, and big-name designers come to mind. However, times are changing, and bloggers are quickly rising to the top of the fashion ladder. Bloggers such as Scott Schuman (The Sartorialist) and Garance Doré (Garance Doré) are two of the most popular style bloggers and are quickly becoming accepted into the high-fashion set. In this month's issue of Teen Vogue, the magazine profiles several up-and-coming young bloggers whom they herald as "the future of fashion." From 16 year-old Texan Jane Alridge (Sea of Shoes) to 19 year-old Filipino Bryan (Bryan Boy), this list presents the new stars of fashion. With all this publicity and their rising influence, do you think that bloggers will eventually replace magazine editors and other traditional fashion jobs?

It's all in the details

I love love love the outfits this gent is wearing-- every ensemble has some quirky detail or twist, but is still masculine.
