Back in the Blogosphere

Today is the first day that I have been able to check out any blogs since I left Berlin and it felt quite nice to sit on the computer again and see what everyone has been up to. Here are some things that especially caught my eye.

Copenhagen Cycle Chic

Anyone who knows me or probably anyone who reads my blog knows I love fashion and I love bikes. Not so sure if I love Copenhagen, as when I was there all I got to see was the inside of a fashion week trade show but I have a feeling I might like it if I actually got to hang around — and one of the reasons is this blog. So I wrote a story about what is "cycle chic" for my jobby job and how it has changed the way the world looks at bikers. Read it here.

Before I went on my vacay I posted a blog about the article I wrote on the rising star of bloggers in which I of course mentioned Tavi and her big old bow in the front row of Christian Dior. And today on her blog she posted this amazing photo that her dad (remember she is 14) took of her talking to John Galliano after the show. Oh to be a fly on the ridiculously large loop of that bow...

It's a Blog World

I love being a blogger. It is a consistent hobby — albeit a bit of a narcisstic one — when so many of my others I only dabble in sporadically (sewing, yoga, soccer, learning German eek!) or tried to get into and just failed miserably (lomo photography, baking, hopefully not learning German and most likely my recent fantasy of learning how to play the accordion, don't even ask).

Being an avid personal blogger as well as one professionally has got me pretty good at navigating the Internet and the blogospere and finding things and people that entertain and interest me and hopefully my few readers. Anway, there are actually two things I am trying to say. 

1) Despite this love and maybe addiction to the blogoshpere, it's always nice to make such connections in the real world. Yes, the real world. While I was in Copenhagen I got to meet the lovely Sarah Leigh, who is an avid blogger and fashion hound herself and who has a much more comprehensive tale of Copenhagen Fashion Week over on her blog. You should definitely check it out and get lost in all her style musings.

2) Also, I wrote a story about bloggers — the ones with actual followers, personal invites to fashion shows, design collaborations, marketing campaigns and well their own celebrity status. Check it out here.
