Delightful
Big, bold & bright is how we would describe 'Delightful' a blog set up by 23 year old Dee. A simple guide to a few of Dee's favourite brands & things of the moment. We particularly like her choice in visuals, plus the quirky addition of her own mixtape to accompany your browsing.

Chris Moore
With an outstanding pedigree, fashion photographer Chris Moore's blog is a visual delight as he takes us through a variety of runway shows both in front & behind the scenes. Having worked for the likes of International Herald Tribune, Harpers Bazaar, and The Times to name a few this 'access all areas' blog gives us a photographer's view, which remarkably remains quite serene despite the madness of the world of fashion.

Fantastic resource, this blog effortlessly combines directional fashion with a unique opportunity to gain a real insight into the industry through insider's knowledge & guides.

10
Slightly haphazard blog, but we like the idea that nothing on it is too polished. You can quickly flick through the musings of this blog - what we find the most interesting though is the access to the various 'press days' these bloggers attend. As always a mixture of fashion find and general ramblings, but also has handy links to many key brands.

Liberty London Girl
Liberty London Girl was set up by a fashion editor who wanted her family and friends to be able to keep up with what she was doing when she started her new job in New York. Her blog became more and more popular due to her scathingly honest reviews on fashion shows and even more popular, opinions on various fashion editors. She finally decided to tell her readers who she is when it became extremely hard to carry on anonymously blogging. Since then she still provides a first hand look into her life as a fashion editor and has begun to run competitions from her blog and twitter site turning 'LLG' into a brand in itself.
