Internet It-Girls
Move over Nicole Richie and the
Olsen twins, fashion bloggers are among the new flock of style stars. Here we
profile four of the finest.
In this time and age where the
Internet reigns supreme and the blogosphere is overflowing with an endless
supply of fashion blogs, there are only a handful that are truly It-worthy. Individuality
and longevity is key in enticing new as well as keeping current followers
loyal. Here we have handpicked four bloggers that have managed to do just that.
Each chosen for their superb sense of
style, charming personal commentary and beyond enviable wardrobes, we felt it
would only be selfish to keep these leading ladies a secret.
Style By Kling
Thanks to a keen eye for fashion
and an enviable collection of thoughtfully assembled ensembles,
blogger/editor/stylist Elin Kling proves she’s a true industry pro. The Swedish
beauty that heads the magazine StyleBy is a fashion force to be reckoned with.
Collaborating with H&M on an exclusive collection has placed her in a
category along with names like Stella McCartney, Alber Elbaz and Donatella
Versace. Much like her professional life, Kling’s approach to dressing is
thoughtfully planned and perfectly executed. With a minimal and slightly
androgynous aesthetic, Kling opts for classic basics with an edge. Thankfully
there’s nothing minimal about the inspiration this triple-threat has to offer.

Caroline’s Mode
Caroline Blomst has created a source
of street style photography that oozes inspiration. In addition to her blog
Caroline’s Mode, this stylist also edits the industry favourite site Stockholm
Streetstyle. Her alluring shots of her own wearable looks have admirers infatuated.
This innovative blogger claims she
doesn’t read any other blogs, and we believe this, as her style stands out in a
world of trend fanatics. Mixing luxury pieces with inexpensive basics, Blomst
truly embodies good taste. And may we add she does a fabulous job of consistently
blending fellow Scandinavian designers such as Filippa K into her effortless
ensembles. Ms. Blomst takes casual-chic
to another level.

The Haute Pursuit
Creating The Haute Pursuit was a
growing process that allowed Vanessa Hong to find a style all her own. This chic
canuck keeps it personal when it comes to her online contributions, giving
readers a peep inside her life as a self professed fashion freak. The former model
and Aritzia sales associate distinguishes herself as one of the few Canadian
bloggers with a serious global following. Even with a minimalist approach to
dressing, the garments she acquires are anything but simple. Her striking
ensembles inspired by Alexander Wang, Theyskens’ Theory and Givenchy have
readers smitten.

The Man Repeller
From overalls to harem pants – she
loves everything that most men hate. The Man Repeller, a tongue-in-cheek blog fashioned
(no pun intended) by writer and Parsons graduate Leandra Medine, turns fashion
on its head and makes the unusual cool. “If Alexa Chung and Hamish Bowles had a
baby, that would be my style,” declares the self-deprecating blogger. With
signature phrases such as “vive le neon” and “more is never enough”, Medine has
crafted an envelope-pushing style that has attracted big brand collaborations
with Rachel Roy and Barneys. Maybe her style repels men, but it sure does
attract us!
