In Other Superstar Style Blogger News: Garance Shoots Jane Aldridge and Tavi Gets Up-Close and Personal With ALT at Miu Miu

In Other Superstar Style Blogger News: Garance Shoots Jane Aldridge and Tavi Gets Up-Close and Personal With ALT at Miu Miu

While the biggest mainstream fashion news unearthed over the weekend seems to be the rumor of Anna Wintour receiving the Legion d’Honneur, the style blogosphere is rife with good bits.

This morning, Sea of Shoes’ Jane Aldridge revealed that she’s been hanging out in New York and was photographed by Garance Dore for an upcoming spread/campaign of some sort. Style Bubble’s Susie Lau was also in town, so we’re speculating that she too may be involved. We’re also going to assume that it’s for an advert, not an editorial, given the exposure these ladies have already received in the glossies. But we’re sure whatever it is, it’s bound to look lovely…

Over in TaviTulle‘s world, it’s all about ALT and Miu Miu.

Best Dressed 2010: The 30 Most Stylish People of the Year

It’s been a very fashionable 2010, so to celebrate, we’ve decided to compile our first-ever list of the year’s best dressed. Professionally styled or not (most are not), these men and women have consistently gotten it right this year, or at the very least, impressed us with their individuality.

For each actor, musician, model or industry person on our list, we’ve selected five of his or her best looks from the past 12 months, so hopefully this list is also full of inspiration. In alphabetical order, we present to you our top 30 best dressed of the year.

Fashion News Roundup: Pre-order Chloe Sevigny X Opening Ceremony, Snooki’s Slippers and Nicole Richie Wed in Marchesa

Fashion News Roundup: Pre-order Chloe Sevigny X Opening Ceremony, Snooki’s Slippers and Nicole Richie Wed in Marchesa

Get it While You Can: Chloe Sevigny’s latest collection for Opening Ceremony is available to pre-order until December 20 on Opening Ceremony’s website. There are handbags, sunglasses, t-shirts, adorable dresses and many to die for shoes. One item we don’t quite understand, however, is a lookbook on sale for $65. If you want something from the collection, which you do, pre-ordering is probably your best bet for actually getting it, as these collections tend to sell out pretty quickly. {Opening Ceremony}

Jen Brill’s Makeup Routine: Photo/Styling agent Jen Brill is the latest to be featured on Emily Weiss’ beauty blog Into the Gloss. She divulges her simple yet well thought-out beauty routines in its entirety. We’ve definitely learned a few tricks. {Into the Gloss}

Hanneli’s Winter Picks: Street Style Blogger Hanneli Mustaparta has an amazing eye for others with great style as well as her own. Check out what she has her eye on this winter. Coming from someone who pretty much always looks perfect, we’d definitely take note. {The Moment}

Snooki’s Shilling Slippers: Remember those huge, dirty-looking slippers Snooki wore both in and outside the house throughout Jersey Shore? It was only a matter of time before Snooki endorsed her own line of slippers. They’re bizarrely huge, come in leopard and pink and have shoelaces for some reason. To be honest though, they do look kind of comfy. {Blackbook}

Most Influential Street Style Bloggers

When I started writing about fashion in 2004, street style photographers were not yet a breed. Well, at least not in the Western world. But with advent of The Sartorialist in 2005, that all changed. Today, just about every fashion related website, blog, what-have-you boasts some form of street style photography.

And while Scott Schuman, founder of The Sartorialist, may be the pioneer, he is no longer alone in his work. The streets surrounding fashion week runways have become flooded with a special type of paparazzi–the kind who you want to be bothered by.

Other than a good blog post, and some great inspiration, what do street style photographers get out of this work?

In the suddenly web-obsessed world of fashion, bloggers are some of the industry’s brightest stars.

How to Wear a Tutu

Britt and I have wanted tutus for a while now. From this, this, this and this, tutus are everywhere and anywhere. When we finally found our dream tulle skirt, at a Mango press presentation no less, we were smitten. The good people at Factory PR were nice enough to send over a few extra skirts, Read more →
