#Friday5 : Bloggers

Yay yay yay!! The day is finally here :) I'm so excited to share with you the first of many #Friday5 posts, this week featuring some of my new & favorite bloggers ..ENJOY <3

While paroozing through LookBook.nu I stumbled across Alana's stylish sporty look featuring a letterman jacket, clutch, & studded boots. Those 3 items are pieces that I would never think to pair together in one look however she totally makes it work effortlessly! There's nothing better than finding a versatile blogger who pulls unique items together to create a solid all black errrrythang outfit. 

When you hear the saying "dress for yourself & not others" they were taking a note from Bebe Zeva because this chick legit wears whatever she wants & switches up her style constantly one day wearing pearls the next day skulls. She can successfully pull off grunge/baby doll/anime/prep/beatnik/glam .. you name it she rocks it :) If you need inspiration or want some ideas on how to create a statement look then I definitely recommend you head on over to Fated to be Hated! The following are some of my favorite looks she's posted: Steel Carnation, Give A Sugar, Long Live McQueen,& Caturday <3  Ahh there's too many to pick from, prepare to devote several hours to looking at her blog, it's addicting!! 

Jay Miranda where do I start?! First off her skin .. it's so radiant & glowing (Yes, I noticed that before her outfit, so sue me) absolutely beautiful! I also love that she's always mixing patterns & finding cool ways to layer pieces. I always struggle with pairing pieces that are different patterns because I'm afraid I'll look like I got dressed in the dark, but her blog provides plenty of perfect examples! So now we've established that she's willing to take risks, I truly admire the fact that she doesn't let "fashion rules" limit her wardrobe & style. Alright alright, I know you want an example .. "Horizontal stripes make you look wide" ... yeah whatever I don't care who said that because she is making this black & white stripe dress werrrrrrrrrrrk!!! Now that you're in love with her too go zoom over to Jay Miranda & show her some love <3

First off how adorable is Sharon?! One of my favorite things about her blog is that she's always smiling in her posts & doesn't take herself too seriously. I always love seeing a new post from her in my news feed because I always know I'm going to find a new favorite outfit :) Oh did I mention she lives in Hawaii?! Yes, I know I'm jealous but at least I can live vicariously in warm weather through her outfit posts. This fellow married lady also has a fashion forward husband who she affectionately refers to as the "Pirate" .. need I say more?! Now go run over to ELISHARON and see all the fabulousness for yourself <3

If you are not farmilliar with Krystin from Be Loud Be You you NEED to get to know her! This fierce mamma-jamma is also a MOMMA .. I know right, I was thinking the same thing "that body is unreal & there's no way she ever had a big old preggo belly!" I've had the pleasure of getting to know her over the past year or two through Cap FABB & other various events & she is ALWAYS dressed to impress :) This chica also has a fabulous online clothing shop 8 Vintage which carries AMAAAZING vintage & reconstructed  pieces that she runs with her bff Denisio! Another thing that makes Kristen one of my faves is that she's an avid & accomplished thrifter which I am all about, so when you visit her blog be prepared to see tons of vintage & thrifted pieces that she pairs with the HOTTEST heels out there.

I hope you've enjoyed reading & checking out these blogs as much as I enjoyed writing about them! Make sure to check back next Friday for another addition of #Friday5 :) Would you like to see more fashion blogs, recipes, music, or artwork for next Friday's post??
