Yes, I read fashion blogs. As I have become more passionate about communication and design it has become clear that communication design is a full package, head to toe. To be honest this doesn’t mean you should look to me for my fashion sense. I’m a work in progress.

My fashion reading is more in the area of street fashion as apposed to fine fashion…not that I’m not in to fine fashion it just doesn’t fit into the real world very well.

Sartorialist

Probably as high fashion as I get. The Sartorialist is a photographer who captures people he sees every day on the street. Rather than the runway he hits the city looking for real people in real places to find fashion inspiration.

Hypebeast

Hypebeast is an all around fashion blog that also focuses a bit on the culture and industry that produces it. With a strong influence from skate culture, Hypebeast has a good pulse on what fashion is hitting the streets.

Nice Kicks

Nice Kicks is a local shop here in Austin but they have a world wide following due to the fact that they get access to rare and limited release kicks from various companies.

This week’s three blogs are news blogs. In my world of social media and internet, things move super fast and I need to stay on top of all of it. Sure there are the news sites, but I want more thoughtful and focused stuff. Here are three blogs I keep an eye on to stay on top of the game.

Fast Company

Fast Company sits in a niche right in the middle of business, technology and pop culture which I’m finding is my sweet spot. Writing that out makes Fast Company sound boring but when you really break it down it is a great blog on sociology since the things that drive western culture are pop-culture, technology and business.

// Keywords: sociology, business, technology, pop-culture

TreeHugger

Really? TreeHugger? I grew up with a passion and love for all things nature and outdoors and TreeHugger is a great source for news in that space. The green movement or what ever you choose to call it is a true driving force in our culture right now. A word of warning; TreeHugger does drop like 20 posts per day.

// Keywords: green, organic, nature, politics

Mashable

Half of my work falls in social media and the news feed at Mashable is focused on exactly that. If social media has a piece of the story it is on Mashable. I can keep an eye on emerging social networks and trends which is vital for gauging the next moves to make in web space.

// Keywords: social media, twitter, facebook, meme

For 2011 I’m going to be focusing very heavily on content creation and delivery. An important part of content creation is for me to consume a lot of content. On Mondays I’m going to share three blogs that I read regularly and I would love for you to share blogs that you’re reading in the comments.

This week, some design focused blogs:

Public School

I started subscribing to Public School a few months ago because it was making some noise here in Austin. Public School is a design studio here in Austin and the content of their feed reflects that. It’s less of a source of a original content as it is a aggregate of what the designers at Public School come across in their internet travels.

Mike Industries

Mike Davidson is a seasoned web developer with some really big sites under his belt. He doesn’t post a lot so this one won’t bog you down. If you are into user experience (not just the web kind) you might want to add Mike to your reader.

// Keywords: user experience, industry news, web design

Promise Tangeman

Promise Tangeman is a good source for design inspiration. She promised (hehe) to post more often this year….didn’t we all? Anyway, a little of this a little of that and some good links to.
