Capturing an online community of artistic, peer-inspired and -supported fashion pioneers, this collection of more than 250 images gives an unprecedentedly unique insight into the real style of girls today. Forget the Paris runways to spot the style vanguard, here are young women for whom taking photos of themselves in their bedrooms, kitchens, and hallways and posting them to blogs and flickr is a daily ritual. The images include favorite peer-voted style gurus from flickr, MySpace, and fashion blogs. Fascinating as an intimate look at street style and as a record of the new wave of amateur portrait photography, this bright, colorful, eclectic read showcases the community where the internet generation get their real fashion inspiration.

The quality and design of this book isn't the greatest, as each image is of completely varying quality and brightness or darkness (the cover gives an indication). It would have been much better if each person was given an equally clear page and layout, like in FRUITS. The varying quality does show the actual variation of amateur digital photography posted by bloggers, so I suppose it's accurate to include.
As far as I know, this is the only book so far to include a very broad range of online outfit bloggers, regardless of how well-known they are, and it is nice to see them all together on paper. This book is useful if you want to get a good idea about the world of online fashion blogging as a whole, as it includes the average girl as well as those with almost celebrity-status online.

Me and every girl at my work thought that this book was awsome. We loved looking at all of the clothes that regular people decided to wear and it has inspired us to take on a similar project. Even though you can look at fashion blogs online any time, its nice to keep a book so you can maybe one day look back at what people thought was inventive and fashionable at this time. I'm way into this book, go buy it.

If you're looking for a severely intellectual dissection of the fashion blogosphere,this isn't it. It is however an entertaining look at the people and clothing that make up the world of online style inspiration.Think along the lines of Nylon's Street,and there you have it.
