Karlascloset.com is the style blog ran by Karla Deras. She has taken the fashion world by storm, catching the eye of fashion editors and elites naming her the 'next big thing'

She’s a nineteen year old girl, studying at The Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising in California. She defiantly knows her Louboutin’s from her Balmain Gladiator sandals and not only post’s about her own personal style and new thrift finds but often includes ‘scanning’s’ from beautiful coffee shop table books we can all indulge in.

She is the complete epitome of personal style. From her cropped hair, Edie Sedgwick sized earrings, those amazing platform heels and beautiful feminine curves.
Her signature pieces are sky high heels and one of her many structured blazers. She likes to play around like evening clutches in the day, high waisted lace trousers (yes, actually amazing) to floor length dresses paired with a big knitted scarf.

Karla is so intriguing to watch and never fails to offer huge amounts of inspirations. Maybe it’s because she seems not to be afraid of what anyone thinks, making directional dressing work in the ‘real world’. Isn’t there a part of all of us that has that certain dress we adore hanging in our wardrobe’s but never quite have the courage to wear? Let’s join Karla in her game of dress up.

Knightcat.com

‘Knight Cat’ is a nineteen year old girl, still studying at school who can speak four different languages, (English, Spanish, Hinko and Arabic, just in case you were wondering) but her readers couldn’t tell you her favourite designers, her favourite places to shop or the ins and outs of her wardrobe, how she wears her hair or how she likes her coffee.

Knight Cat is a different kind of blogger. Instead of sharing photos of herself to the world, she posts ‘inspiration’ photo’s of anything and everything that catches her fashion spotting eye. She started blogging ‘because I used to save so many inspiration pictures that I didn't know what to do with them, thus, I created the blog to share them with everyone’.

Not that this has restricted Knight Cat in any way, blogging three times a day at the very minimum and having over 70,000 blog views in just a year, Knight Cat has become a true ‘fashionista’s’ favourite ‘go to’ place to find a vast range of images. Everything from editorials scanned from last month’s Korean Vogue, what Alexa Chung wore at the New Moon premiere or Kate Moss walking for Chanel ten years ago and that’s all just in the last twenty-four hours.

We can't help but want to see what’s inspiring the mysterious Knight Cat each day or should we say hour? A fashion blog inspiring us in a completely different way.

Rumi Neely launched fashiontoast.com in late 2007. After visitors to her eBay store ‘treasure chest vintage’ wouldn't stop asking what shoes she was wearing in all her pictures. Nearly two years has gone by and she gets 35,000 hits a day and each posts gets over three hundred comments.

Her perfectly put together outfits consist of American apparel basics, incredible shoes, a piece of vintage and a timeless designer handbag, she describes her personal style as ‘one part grunge, one part Parisian influence all dipped in a giant jewellery box’.

As the Internet started taking huge notice of her blog, designers and industry heavyweights started to latch on too. She was personally invited for a private tour of the American Apparel factory, to New York Fashion Week in fall 2008 and model Erin Wasson's line for surf brand RVCA. Playing muse to Alexandra Wang and she has been given the huge opportunity to design her very own collection for RVCA.

With her photographer boyfriend always in tow documenting her daily outfits, nights out and days, each photograph features a new picturesque setting. It really does feel like we're following a fairytale.

It’s a pleasure to read and leaves you asking. ‘Why aren’t my leg’s that long and why isn’t this my life?
