There’s been a sort of manhunt for Agathe amongst fashion bloggers lately and I guess it has ended when upon typing stylebytes.net you’ll find out that the site has probably now shut down. I’ve been checking stylebytes religiously and have made it my morning paper equivalent. Now that it’s gone, it’s difficult to replace it, but not impossible. Still, nobody can replicate Agathe’s unique sense of style and having no access (maybe, forever) to her site and style leads me to one great regret - I didn’t save much of her outfits. It’s oh-so-selfish but that’s what I should have done. This is the part where I say, you don’t know what you’ve got til it’s gone. Agathe, you will be sorely missed.

One of the many reasons I’m in love with fashion is because of fashion editorials like these. Rachel Bilson in Nylon March 2008 issue.

I also happen to be going gaga over these oriental umbrellas. These will be very helpful for work.

I have to admit, the best things in life are free. Take for instance my fashion cravings, fashpirations (fashion inspirations), and fashion reading. I used to have to go out to shop to ease my fashion cravings now, there’s online shopping and Ebay. Fashion inspirations and fashion reading had to be provided by magazines which cost a lot if you’re hooked on lots of magazines *cough cough* such as Vogue, Teen Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, Elle, Lucky, etc. All these readings and inspirations are now ready available online, thank goodness! Let me share some very interesting online fashion blessings I’ve come across.

Wardrobe Remix

Wardrobe remix is a street fashion community from all over the world. Think, fashionably daring women joining forces to show off their personal style. You can get tons of great fashion ideas and fashpirations as well. Leaving comments on looks you love is highly encouraged. Downside, you have to be a flickr member to join and comment, but for voyeurs, it’s all free!

Boboniaa

I just stumbled upon her blog as I like to browse links on different fashion blogs and this has since become one of my favorites. She has a quirky fashion sense and yet we can all sort of relate to her. Her grin and her posing in different punchy colored backgrounds adds to her oomph factor.

N.E.E.T. Magazine

Don’t you just love a free magazine? I do! Neet Magazine features indie and creative fashion. Highlights include featuring fashionable bloggers. Ooh, let’s hope Neet stumbles upon this or your site so it can feature us.

Park Avenue Peerage

68thandpark gives us insider coverage on the world of park avenue princesses. Lush clothing is to-die-for while juicy tidbits are icings on the cake.

The Sartorialist

The Sartorialist is a photographer who has a great eye for fashion, and he’s a man! He provides tasteful fashion pictures of women and men (!) on the street.

Frugal Fashionista

Providing you with up-to-date celebrity fashion and giving you a hand to pull of their look. Thank you to the maker of this site. It’s not easy to pull off looks, what more having to look for similar clothing items to designer pieces! Frugal Fashionista takes you to fashionable heights, the Hollywood way. Oh, and the site links the items properly providing easy access to online shopping.

WhoWhatWearDaily

“We don’t care who you’re dating or if you eat. We only care about what you wear.” -WhoWhatWearDaily’s tagline says it all. It’s a celebrity fashion site, but without the hookups, breakups, and well eating disorders. Straight to fashion is what you get.

There are hundreds of inspiring sites to venture into out there and dozens are springing daily. And I assure you, there will be more fashion sites to come. This is Free Fashion Volume 1 signing off.

Could anyone other than Mary Kate Olsen pull this off?

I believe no one can. I would never have thought anyone can put a leopard dress with knit leggings that look like socks, a bustier belt and platform shoes and still look hot. This can only be the MK effect.

 I believe them when they say…

…that Katie Cruise’s style is very reminiscent of Jackie O. But she ups the Jackie O ante with her classic-with-a-twist fashion pairings.
