This week my entire life has revolved around blogs. Blogging, bloggers, the actual layout themselves. I have been working on a story for The New School Free Press researching how fashion bloggers have become an entirely new subcategory of celebrity. I started by furiously emailing and trying to contact a few of my favorite bloggers. I get a lot of my inspiration from people on the street, and my friends, but the majority of what influences my style is fellow bloggers.
Here are a few of my absolute favorite blogs:

In addition to fashion blogs, I read Robert Mackey's The Lede, New York Magazine's The Cut, and my new obsession is a blog called Boys Life. I was introduced to it by a friend who mentioned it when I told him about the story I was writing. He described it as disgusting, offensive, and that some deem it the male equivalent to "Sex and the City". I was intrigued. I looked up the blog expecting to be turned off after a one post detailing this guy's many exploits with women, and his "tricks of the trade." To my surprise, I was completely enthralled. What i found was a blunt, yet honest depiction of a single boy's life in New York City. I could see how infinite girls would be offended by his no apologies attitude, but the reason I am so infatuated is because the anonymous blogger is an excellent storyteller. If you are looking for an interesting, off-the-cuff quick read, check out Boys Life.
