A Few of BANGSTYLES Favorite Fashion Bloggers
Today, girls seeking the latest fashion don’t flip through the pages of Elle or Vogue, they visit the popular fashion site Lookbook.nu and get ideas from international fashion bloggers. Instead of celebrities, these bloggers are the movers and shakers of the fashion world. I talked to seven stylish bloggers from around the world to learn what inspires them:

“Blogging is like a diary of sorts for me. I’m very influenced by the urge to create moods, i want everything around me to be visually pleasing and also reflect how I want to feel. this translates into me dressing myself every day based on whatever mood I’m in, or trying to capture, and I wanted to have a catalog of that to look back at and be re-inspired by.”

“I think I’m inspired by everything in this world when it comes to fashion. There’s always famous people and other bloggers to be inspired by, but some of the people that inspire me the most are people on the street. The streets of Denmark are a great place to look for style-inspiration. I love how such a small country can contain so many different kinds of people and different styles. Even though most of us visit the same stores, we don’t look alike at all. That’s what I love about styling, too. Although I don’t have the biggest closet in the world, I can put my clothes together in so many different ways that I’ll have outfits to wear for a lifetime.”

“Style for me is more than just clothing. Fashion is truly an art, and my favorite part of the day is getting dressed in the morning! I love mixing palettes; knits with metallics, chiffon and leather, contrasting bright colors — small details like these are just so exciting. Personal style is extremely important to me, as it’s a way to express my creativity daily.”

I am not that interested in clothing items, but looks and ideas of an outfit that tell something.
