As I've said before, I read a lot of fashion blogs in my spare time. A lot. Big ones, small ones, the well knowns, the hidden gems... I know, I know, color me 21-century original. Anyways, I started my summer internship yesterday and I am as busy as a small, dam-building animal with an internship, SO this morning I thought I'd share some of my favorite, somewhat off-the-beaten-track spare time reading destinations with you since My Tomayto might be a little spotty this week. Personally I am always on the lookout for new blogs to stalk, so if you have a go-to spot that I need to know about, please speaketh in the comments. Speaketh.
1) Shine by Three
![]()
This blog is a visual tour-de-force and a testament to the power of female multitasking. In addition to blogging, twenty-year-old Margaret Zhang also attends law school AND works a day job. Cray. I like Shine by Three because it has some of the best amateur fashion photography out there--seriously her pics look like an Avatar set--and not only does Margaret have amazing, unusual style and an eye for color, but she also travels to cool places and eats cool vegan stuff. Go forth and read.
2) Look Sharp Sconnie
![]()
Look Sharp Sconnie is one of those rare fashion blogs where the words are perhaps more meaningful than the images. I look at this blog every day, and every day I am hooked by whatever Gabrielle has to say. HOOKED LIKE A DAMN FISH I TELL YA. She always manages to talk about something completely original and lolz-worthy (dressing like dead people, anyone? Anyone?).
3) Love Aesthetics
![]()
Love Aesthetics is a definite face-pressed-against-the-glass kind of blog where you're just scrollin' and scrollin' thinking to yourself geez how are people made THIS SUPERLATIVE??? Ivania is one of those eerily pretty alien she-creatures who pulls off pretty much anything. I am 99% positive that she might have been the coolest girl in middle school without even knowing it. She also dresses (and lives) in minimalist white monochrome 24/7, which is impressively ambitious considering the possibility of juice stains and stuff.
4) B. Jones Style
![]()
Beth Jones always features the best thrifted finds on her blog, which is amazing (they're vintage!) but also heart-wrenching (they're one-of-a-kind!). I also highly enjoy her What Would Carrie Bradshaw Wear posts because YEAH FINE I am not above admitting my love of Sex and the City fashion. (By the by, I really like Starbucks and hummus and Instagram too so go ahead and call me a stereotypical bearer of boobs).
5) Profresh Style
![]()
This blog is a recent discovery of mine, and I freaking love it. Christina is HI-larious mainly because she has a very DGAF, no-filter approach to fashion blogging. I dig her style and her words and her funny rant videos. She also calls people "boo" a lot and has great teeth. Check it out.
6) Park & Cube
![]()
True story: when I was in London, I actually spotted Park & Cube blogger Shini on the street and freaked out a little bit. Internet people are real! Anyways, this blog is cool and quirky and filled with lots of pleasant fashion imagery with bits of lifestyle thrown in. Shini's commentary is also really funny and gives me the chuckles in a totally non-grandfatherly way.
So there's some Thursday perusing for you kids. Enjoy!!!!
