Hip

like most twenty somethings today, i am really into fashion and art and the marriage between the two. street fashion blogs often give me exactly what i'm looking for when i want to be inspired by the art in fashion. the sartorialist: fantastic photography and gives me wonderful menswear, garance doré: amazing photographs and even more amazing illustrations of gorgeous clothes and great accessories, and my newest obsession the unknown hipster: combines crazy good imaginative drawings (i love crayola) with incredible looks and you don't even have to use your imagination to see his vision.
