A Tribute to Reality

I can't stress the importance of remembering how difficult and expensive translating runway looks to the street is enough. And when developing a style based on what's practical and affordable, anyone can be easily tripped by trends, "trying too hard," and lack of self-awareness.

These five bloggers have managed to incorporate items that are trendy, basic, expensive, second-hand, and personal into a pragmatic, identifiable style. Kudos to the following:


Expressive Sadness, New York


Steevay, New York


Melonade, New York


Fashionsta, London


Homme, San Francisco
