The Introduction



On my journey to find blogs with a combination of fashion, art, and of course good taste, I started first on Pinterest, a place where “pinners” frequently post material from personal blogs. Following mainly graphic designers, blogs, and fashion magazines gives me multiple links to sophisticated blogs.  I found many links to the Nasty Gal Blog's cite, leading me to an artful, stylish, but edgy blog. Including beauty tips, fashion look books, vintage inspiration, and more, this blog swims against the current, sharing fringe style and trends using interesting graphics with a creative title and easily read posts making for a fantastic blog.

 BOOOOOOOM! is an blog that encompasses several different mediums; film, photography, music, design, and artwork from artists of all types. Posts consist of pictures and information of final works, allowing one to explore numerous different styles of art and the artists who made them. Within the first couple minutes of looking through the feed of recent posts, I quickly found the wide range of diversity within the blog. Quirky but artistic short films caught my attention while visually stunning murals, drawings, and paintings took my breath away. Their photograph, used as the blog title illustrates an eccentric feel about the entire blog. I’m completely inspired by the collection of carefully curated pieces; treating my eye and mind without too much of an artwork overload, allowing me to really appreciate the pieces shown. 

A sophisticated and high-end blog, Her Blog incorporates overviews and pictures of newly released designer lines, fashion on the runway, and patterns of trends showing up in the latest haute couture collections. With a sharp and modern format, Her Blog emphasized futuristic vogue to me the first time I entered. Having a white background got it strait to the point, acting as a canvas for the numerous pictures of the posts’ topics.  Posts cover completely relevant and frontline subjects such as Fashion Week, Fendi’s Resort 2013 Collection, and countless fall/winter designer’s collections out right now.

Having looked thoroughly at these blogs, I’m inspired and excited to start this blog! I’m attempting to get a sophisticated (like Her Blog) yet artsy (similar to BOOOOOOOM!) style and feel but at the same time somewhat applicable to a teenager (Nasty Gal).
