fly:
andrea is a design maven based in philly, and her ridiculously colorful, positive, and dynamic blog focuses on anything from food to art to fashion to whatever strikes her fancy to write about at a given moment. bright hues, geometric patterns, bold accessories and clothing abound. she loves african fabric, clothing and accessories (!!!) to say her aesthetic resonates almost exactly with mine is to put things lightly…sometimes i feel like she’s living inside my head and somehow (weirdly!) talking straight to me. haha! i literally get pangs of excitement every time i see she has updated her blog.

threadbared:
where i like to get my academic fashion fix satiated. it’s wordy, intelligent, political, thoughtful, and of-the-moment spot-on…reading it makes me want to get my phd in fashion theory (something i am seriously considering)…

***

button candy:
like buttons? vintage and new? this blog is definitely for you.
[as an aside: i am a poet, apparently i didn't know it...]

    My two favorite blogs in the world are Already Pretty (http://www.alreadypretty.com/) and Kingdom of Style (http://kingdomofstyle.typepad.co.uk/my_weblog/). Sally’s body-positive writing and clear explanation of various style issues makes any day a little bit brighter, and the Queens of Style constantly post things that make me drool–and contemplate busting out the ol’ Featherweight.

    I’m so thrilled to be a blog you love! My current favorite is Lipstick Eater (http://lipstickeater.blogspot.com), Joon Oluchi Lee’s meditations on bodies, sexualities, genders, and the clothes we use to “make up” these things. I also really enjoy Fashion Intelligentsia (http://fashionintelligentsia.wordpress.com), and Fashionist (http://fashioni.st), possibly my favorite street style blog because it makes me miss the Bay Area so hard.
