…. Ever wondered what it takes to be a street style blogger? MessyNessy resorted to some truly guerilla-style reporting to get an inside look at a day in the riveting life of a street style blogger during fashion week.

UPDATED AUGUST 14th 2012 When I first showed you these sweaters trending on the net, they were nothing more than a fun internet meme; photoshopped designs created by a couple of quirky kids with a blog that went viral. Appropriately or not so appropriately named ‘sexy-sweaters.com‘, the website has been inundated with requests to buy their [...]
It’s a well documented concern that hipsters are running out of ideas of how to differentiate themselves from the average joe these days. And so as I happened to be stumbling upon a gallery of Dolly Parton’s fashion choices today, it made me wonder. Most of the style that made neo-hipsters ‘hip’ was actually the [...]
Hi there. Don’t be shy, yes that’s a boobie and a curvy waist you just saw, we’re going to be looking at a lot of those in a moment. For a few minutes today, I thought I’d give you a little time-out from what we’re used to being brainwashed with exposed to all over the [...]
