As much as I love Chiara Ferragni there is something about her jet-setting, Coachella attending, size 0 life that I can't really relate to. Chiara is a model, I am a real human, Chiara wears Balenciaga, I wear Urban Outfitters, and I mean, I just had to stop writing so that I could take a bite out of the chocolate birthday cake beside my desk, so you can understand how Chiara and I lead slightly different lifestyles. When I scroll through her photos I feel envious of her rather than inspired. But that's not to say I dislike fashion bloggers altogether.
Thankfully Instagram has given rise to a wave of homegrown fashion bloggers that just get me. They go to the same cafes I do, they live through the same brutally cold Canadian winters, and one time I saw @TheFashionMedley eating a doughnut in Montreal. Sigh, Insta-stars, they're just like us.
Because we're always celebrating this great country of ours, we've assembled a list of our favourite Canadian style bloggers. These bloggers could just as easily be your super stylish cousin or best friend. They have all the trappings of famous fashion bloggers”they have great style, great pictures and great advice”but they manage to make fashion seem "unintimidating" and accessible.
Have a band or pop group you wanted to see since you were a kid and never got the chance? @americanexpress checked an time off my bucket list a few weeks back and it’s on the blog today! #amexaccess #thismoment A photo posted by Suburban Faux-Pas by Krystin (@krystin_lee) on
Krystin is one of those fashion bloggers who has 8 million titles in her bio: wife, blogger, social publicist, dog whisperer. Okay so I added that last one for dramatic flair, but you get the point. This busy gal applies her signature sophisticated and girly style to all of her endeavours. Which is like, majorly impressive, considering I would perpetually be in sweats if I had to do half the things she does.
