fashionista is a pretty amusing blog - it's got a lot of sample sale tip offs & magazine scans but i don't think trendwise its a great site. to get a better handle on trends i would probably be more inclined to visit who what wear daily. its got cute videos about transforming looks from the runway to reallife. the sartorialist is also really great - scott has a great eye, especially for beautiful details. and i check the blogs at elle - carol han is a great down-to-earth and interesting fashion writer. does wwd have a blog? now that would be a fun one to look at!
