5 Street Style Blogs You Gotta Bookmark

With the concept of street fashion gone wild, many photographers have also dedicated themselves into this hot business. They would be spending a big chunk of time travelling on streets and city corners to capture fashionistas. However, this in-demand business has also attracted a lot of competition. Therefore, the standard of street wears have gone higher and so are the quality of photos. A recent article on Business of Fashion
had interestingly pointed out that the line between runway and street fashion has becoming finer and finer.  Street style is not about everyday people anymore, but more focuses on celebrities, super bloggers, and fashion editors who are wearing or carrying the newest collections from luxurious brands like Valentino, Celine and so on. What will be the future for street fashion? I'm not sure. But as a blogger and a regular girl myself, I do like to read street style blogs to get inspirations and styling ideas. So today, I'd like to share five street style blogs that i think you should bookmark right now.

随着街拍的流行形式越发强劲,越来越多摄影师也切身投入到这个炙手可热的商业机遇里。他们会花很多时间在大街小巷耐心等待并捕捉时尚达人。不过,这个需求量大,受欢迎度高的行业当然竞争也相当激烈。所以也就不难想象,对街拍达人的穿着和照片质量的要求也就被提高了。最近Business of Fashion 发布了一篇文章,讲到T台和街头时尚之间的距离已经变得越来越近。街头风已经不再展现真正时尚人士的穿衣风格,而是演变为过度关注于明星,有名博主,杂志编辑们和他们所穿着的品牌衣和携带的名牌包。街拍的未来是什么?我不知道。但是作为一个普通的博主女孩,我不得不承认我会经常在网上浏览街拍博客来寻找搭配灵感。所以今天呢,我就想跟大家分享5个你应该关注的街拍博客。



This is a Parisian street fashion blog that I recently discovered. Through the beautiful images on this blog, we truly get to see what effortless-chic or more-is-more really is.

这个巴黎街头时尚的博客是我最近才发现的。通过美丽的照片可以让你更加了解什么叫随意混搭风,什么叫多既是好的时尚。




This Korean street style blog has a really clean photography style and unique fashion taste, which is what makes it stand out from many asian street fashion sites. 

这个来自韩国的街拍博客有一种非常简约干净的感觉,它抓拍的时尚也有独特的品位,这也就是让它看起来独具一格的原因。





This blog is a very special one as it captures natural moments of fashionistas and every-day-people like mother and daughter, couples, etc. More importantly, it also has plenty of fashion features on particular topics such as The White Skirt and Dresses We Love, as well as  provides you with links to shop those looks.  

这个博客非常特别,因为它捕捉到的都是一些很真实的时刻,比如说穿着有个性的妈妈带着女儿,还有互相搭配的情侣等等。更重要地是,它不仅拍街头时尚还会展示不同的话题,比如说“白色裙子”,“我们喜欢的连衣裙”等,并且还为你提供单品的购买链接。





If you like Japanese fashion, this street style site will be a treat for you. It not only captures distinctive street styles from different cities, but also shares some information about the fashionistas. This allows you to get an idea about who they are and what they do. This little piece of information can truly help you better understand Japanese culture.

如果你对日本的时尚文化有兴趣的话,这个街拍博客一定会是一个不错的选择。它不仅展现许多城市里各种不同的街头时尚,还会在每个时尚达人的照片旁边分享一些简短的介绍。你可以更加了解这些时尚人士是谁,他们是做什么的。





Lastly, I'd like to share a Toronto based street style blog with you. As a Torontonian myself, I can sense the fashion community here is growing very rapidly. We might still have a long way to go if we ever want to be another Pairs or New York, but the uniqueness brought by Canada's multiculturalism is really what making this city's fashion stand out. By showcasing real street styles, Toronto Verve is building an online fashion community by showcasing real people with real stories. 

最后,我想要跟你们介绍一个多伦多的街拍博客。作为生活在多伦多的我来说,我可以感觉到这里的时尚社区越来越庞大。当然,与像巴黎和纽约这样的一线时尚城市相比较,我们还相差甚远,不过加拿大的这种多元文化正是让多伦多的街头时尚品味独具一格的重要元素。这个博客展现了普通时尚达人们不同的品味和他们真实的故事。




I know there are countless amazing street style blogs are out there, so it was actually very hard for me to cut it down to five. But I will probably share more with you in the near future. Please let me know if you have a favourite street style blog that you think should be on this feature.

我知道还有太多太多很好的街拍博客,这也是为什么我花了很长时间才决定分享这五个。我会在过段时间再向你们介绍更多。如果你有任何你觉得值得被大家关注的,请一定要分享哦。

I Heart You

Goodbye July, hello August! 

Although both of these heart print blouse and midi-dress are from the same Joe Fresh collection, they are made of different fabrics. So I decide to layer these two pieces together to create an interesting onezie look. 

再见七月,你好八月!

尽管这个心型图案的上衣和裙子都是来自Joe Fresh的同一个系列的,但是他们却采用了不同的面料, 所以我决定把这两件单品穿在一起来打造一个一体连身装的感觉。
