Tavi Gevinson's Blog

http://www.thestylerookie.com/

The place to start. It follows the typical format: straight-up photos of the blogger, scans of fashion shoots and vintage magazines, all captioned with chirpy commentary. Fashion has fallen for 13-year-old Gevinson in a big way; the little Chicagoan can also fill you in on what it's like to model for the Rodarte label or grace the cover of Pop magazine. Some "proper" style journalists have expressed disbelief that a child has produced such informed fashion reports. As if you need a doctorate to be enthusiastic about clothes.

The Sartorialist

The Sartorialist's street style shots are probably viewed by more people than any others on the web. Since launching the blog in 2005, the 41-year-old New Yorker has been named one of Time magazine's biggest design influences, worked for Burberry, modelled for Gap and published a book. The praise is deserved: he is an excellent photographer and his captions insightful. He excels at projecting his own world view – the key to all successful blogs – and it's impossible to follow his work for long without finding your idea of style has subtly shifted.

What Katie Wore

The original challenge was for Mackay, 27, to wear a different outfit every day for a year, with Sinclair, 28, documenting the look, the labels and what they got up to. Simple enough, but the Shoreditch couple, who both work in marketing, are as adorable as teacup pigs. Mackay's eclectic style namechecks TK Maxx as often as trendy young designers, and Sinclair's smitten prose is a love letter to their life together. The blog became so popular (7,000 hits a day) that they couldn't ignore all the messages begging them not to stop once they hit their year deadline last month.
