FashionToast.com has only been active for about four month, but the blog is already receiving crazy amounts of attention online fashionista’s and fashion publications alike. The idea behind Rumi’s blog is pretty simple; she keeps us updated with photos of her stylish outfits daily and also gives us a look at some of the celebrities and models who influence what she wears. One could easily mistake this every day girl for Chloe Sevigny or one of the Olsen Twins based on her clothing alone. But what we love the most about Rumi’s style is that she manages to look just as expensive as those girls, while mainly shopping at affordable stores such as Forever 21, H&M, American Apparel and the Goodwill. Save a designer handbag or two, of course.

With the number of online designer boutiques rising daily, retailers are getting creative in the way they sell clothes in order to set their stores apart. These are three boutiques that are adding an artistic touch to how they do business. They are certainly more personal and smaller than some of the major players, but we see big things in their future.

Enter the world of a cute, high achieving young cheerleader attending a posh private who knows the difference between actual couture and Juicy Couture. No, it’s not an episode of Gossip Girl, it’s the real life of the author of MissCouturable.blogspot.com. She may still be in high school but you would never know it by her writing style, which is probably one of the reasons why she landed an internship at Seventeen before she even hit the age herself. On a regular basis she covers what the most influential designers in the industry are doing, gives us a little taste of her every day style, and ties it all back to real life. Her blog is aimed at the younger set, but it easily appeals to those of us who are fashionably young at heart.
