Update Your Status!
If not, I’m thinking it’s a safe bet that you probably will within the next 6 months, if not before.
Why? Well, this is apparently one of the newest and now hottest social media trends right now. I myself am rather intrigued by the approach and think it may just have some legs.

I often wish I could travel the world and people watch. I love to check out street style in my own town too, but I don’t have limitless time to do that either. This is why I love The Sartorialist. He travels the world capturing the everyday styles of everyone from street-wandering eccentrics to carefully coiffed celebrities and shares them with all of us online on his site.
“I started The Sartorialist simply to share photos of people that I saw on the streets of New York that I thought looked great. When I worked in the fashion industry (15 years), I always felt that there was a disconnect between what I was selling in the showroom and what I was seeing real people (really cool people) wearing in real life.”
People such as:
I want him to be my cool neighbor that throws great dinner parties with expensive wine.
I love the purple socks
And don’t worry if you are not a fan of adding one more site to your daily check list… you can drool over his book at your leisure, anywhere you like: The Sartorialist by Scott Schuman.

Apparently I am not that cool because I just found out about this blog. Each day features an incredibly striking photograph of one or two people that exude coolness. The extremely simple backdrop of the blog highlights the chosen photographs wonderfully and helps show off what these people have that some, well, don’t.
Thanks the function key for the heads up.

From Le Blog: “The Uniform Project was sent to me by a friend this week and it certainly captured my attention. Sheena Matheiken has taken it upon herself to wear the same dress every day for an entire year as an exercise in sustainable fashion, whilst also raising funds for the education of children living in slum communities in India. It’s an interesting exercise and a great cause but what really gets you in is the visual presentation of every day… this is one girl who knows how to work her accessories!”

Like many others in the office, I have become mildly obsessed with the life of Little Edie. At first, I was shocked by her “eclectic” lifestyle. She lived in filth, wore the most outrageous ensembles and acted as if she were a permanent fixture on The Ed Sullivan Show. Then, after getting over the initial shock, I was hooked. I needed to know what she was all about – her past, her present and, most importantly, her fashion choices.
What sold me was her passion, presentation and the unpredictability behind both. It didn’t matter whether others liked her “costume of the day”, believed in her vision or made fun of her. As long as she was happy with her choice then she was able to exude that infectious confidence that is so inspiring and made me love her.
If “Little Edie” were a brand, I’d be its biggest fan and, after googling “little edie fashion”, I’d say there are plenty of others that feel the same way.
