I am a big blog fan. I recently tried to cull the amount of fashion blogs that I follow because I simply didn't have time to read them all. I managed to get them down to about 30. So, as you can imagine, my next blog task of choosing my favourite three, is not so easy. But, through a laborious process of elimination, I have come to my conclusions.
The Sartorialist, of course, will have to be my first. Scott Schuman pioneered fashion photography with his digital camera and blog when he started photographing fashionable city dwellers and fashion show goers in the likes of New York, Paris, London and Milan, and putting them on his blog 'The Sartorialist'. I love this blog as it is so original, and while there are many with the same idea now, this will always be the first. I also love it because of his subject choice, his muses all have their own interesting style and they are all oh-so glamourous, who doesn't love that? Mainly, I love this blog because his photos not only show us individual styles, but embody the different culture and style of these fashion saturated cities, giving fashion enthusiasts like myself a taste of the places we are aspiring to reach.

My second is Fashion Gone Rogue, which I referred to in my previous blog as displaying many of the crucial elements of good blogging. Joanna blogs mainly about high end runway shows and editorials. This is one of my favourite blogs as she writes both critically and informatively about all aspects of these shows and shoots, the clothes, designers, models, photos, photographers, critics and audience, so is a great blog for those who wish to be well versed in all ways of the fashion world. She also writes a lot of posts, which is great, and covers a lot of my favourite designers like Givenchy, Alexander McQueen and Valentino.

Last but not least is fashionising.com's Fashion Blog. This blog makes it into the top three because blogger Tania Braukamper really knows her stuff. Tania is from Melbourne, making it the only Australian blog in my top three, which is great because she is posting exactly what is relevant to Australian fashion at the time. She posts several times a day but always has something interesting to say. She is another who posts about all aspects of the fashion world; my favourite designers, runway shows, editorials, the models and the critics. She fills her posts with hyperlinks and beautiful images so that you're never left wanting more, and has a bundle of 'Fashion Blog Categories' - Clothing & Accessories, Fashion Trends, Hair & Hairstyles, Industry News, Make-up & Beauty, Photo shoots & Catwalks and Shoes - so that no matter what you are looking for, you're bound to find it!
