Featured Blogs

April 20th, 2009

Ok, blog feature time again! A couple months back I stumbled across reasonigetupinthemorning and realized shortly after the discovery that the author was none other than Karyn Starr of White Starr aesthetic consulting. I’d first heard about them when Cynthia Kling did a write-up on her experience with the duo in Domino (RIP).

Karyn has her own daily wear blog where she posts a series of photos of herself in dynamic poses in whatever she’s wearing that day. While the photos aren’t super high quality I love how she avoids the static pose, ’cause I mean really, who stands around with their toes pointed in all day? You get to see the clothing in motion as you would in person.

Starr’s blog is a favourite of mine for a few reasons:

#1. In a day where teen bloggers are ubiquitous and the norm it’s a relief to see a grown woman my age that has amazing, singular style. It’s inspiring.

#2. Starr wears nice labels but she’s not a brand snob (jcrew has featured prominently in some of her most recent combinations). She goes for what flatters her best and pulls it off fantastically, which makes sense considering it’s her business to help others refine their wardrobes and dress in the most flattering way possible.

#3. Maybe I’ve already said this in a slightly different way above, but Starr is an original. Yeah, you see things that are considered ‘hot’ at the moment (jumpsuits, blazers, big scarves) but nothing she wears ever has me thinking, “Seen this a 100 billion times already”.
