Five must-follow fashion blogs

I have found that one of the greatest qualities of the internet is that it is the proud keeper of the style blogs that define our fashion fantasies. These blogs are the sites we regularly stalk and frequently reference, and a great source of innovation and creativity. Behind each of these lofty URLs are talented bloggers who are fierce icons, inspiring role models and mysterious forces of impeccable style. There’s an endless amount of blogs to explore and discover that are unique in their own way, for the beauty of fashion is that it is an entirely personal and individual form of expression. So, for those of you looking to shake it up and try something new, here’s a roundup of five “under the radar” fashion blogs that are guaranteed to satisfy your sartorial soul:

1. PARI DUST by Pari Ehsan
One of the best, Pari Dust is the triumphant fusion of high fashion and modern art. Created by USC alum and architect-turned-model Pari Ehsan, Pari Dust explores the relationship between color, texture and form to pair carefully curated outfits with gallery and museum masterpieces. It’s a one-of-a-kind production to appreciate not only for its originality, but its dedication to exploring and exposing the crucial relationship between fashion and the arts.

2. GARANCE DORÉ by Garance Doré
Garance Doré is the eponymous style blog by the Parisian “it girl” who wears many hats. Part-time illustrator, photographer and style guru, Garance Doré is the epitome of the alluring French demeanor we all wish was our own. Her site is simple yet amazing; it is honest and relatable, and always has new and interesting ideas, looks and information.

3. STREET PEEPER by Phil Oh
Characterized by his slogan, “Peepin’ Ain’t Easy,” Phil Oh is the former NYU busboy who made it big completely by accident. He entered the industry with no fashion background or photography skills, and now works part-time for Vogue while running one of the most innovative street style blogs that’s 100 percent international and 100 percent cool. What sets Street Peeper apart is its simple and often overlooked search button. With it, viewers can search any brand, trend or location, and will be presented with an extensive feed of images from across the world linked by that one desired keyword. It’s pretty special, and very inspiring.

4. THE GLAMOURAI by Kelly Framel
The Glamourai is your one stop shop for anything hip and everything glamorous.
