How does the rise of streetstyle blogs evolve into something better? Would one consider 571 comments on a post on The Sart the heights of streetstyle blogging (ker-razy ever-rising number of comments I tells ya….)? Or does an online magazine dedicated to sharing and supporting streetstyle sound like a better idea? I think I’ll take the quieter ride with Borderline which I’ve recently discovered. Carrie and Nick grew up together as friends in Kentucky but later in New York in a like minded, vintage-wearing, Brooklyn-loving heap started Borderline. It collates many streetstyle pics into one neat location but the thing I’m interested in are the fashion editorials that are self-styled, featuring subjects that you want to know more about and uses up and coming photographers.

I’m intrigued by these tights worn by Ai, a young fashion designer from New York.
Amelia is a vintage clothing dealer from Louisville who lines up her shoes in a scarily neat fashion.
The Au Revoir Simone girls all get up to some very different style hijinx…. involving werewolf masks, beautifully printed shirts and colour blocked skirts…
Anjali makes perfect paint splattered dresses but she does look good in a sharp grey suit.
Our curious minds into what REAL people are wearing won’t ever stop but the way we look at these people doesn’t need to stop and end with a standardised straight on full-length pose right?
Thanks for the links, I really enjoy discovering foreign fashion blogs. And yours is also really great
I think I like this fresh‚Äîand somewhat democratic‚Äîapproach a lot. I see a bit of each person’s personality in these photos/editorials. Thanks so much for sharing this. I’ll be looking into it.
I love it all. street style sites, sites that organize the pictures for areas, and photoshoots.
ooh man! I wish I could show you right now, the photoshoot my friend set up for us. we took “fashion photos” in the grocery store and then had a motel/balooons/confetti photoshoot party. They were all for her photography classes so they came out really professional looking and adorable.
Thanks for sharing these, I’ll have to look through them. I especially love the pictures with the illustration background and those Au Revior Simone girls are ever so stylish.
I sort of have to plug my own street style site:

ok..very weird..it posted my comment twice under someone elses name, enc.
nevermind, I’m being ridiculous and didn’t notice the names were underneath the comment.
love it!
Wow, how beautiful is Ai?? If I could marry her photos, I would 🙂
Thank you! You completely speak my mind! I agree! I was wondering where all these so called street fashion reporters come from? How many of these blogs exist?? You might know…
I mean, do they know what they are looking for, besides the look that they just saw advertised in some magazine?
To me they all look very similar, despite the fact that these are supposed to be INDIVIDUAL styles? I think by now a sort of street-style-report-style as evolved and people dress like the people in street style blogs______ UUUgh! Let’s keep it real people. That is why we all wear this stupid scarf (the scarf itself is very meaningfull – don’t sweat me) because we keep seeing it on ALL street style blog pics.
That’s so true. I love seeing people in their own element wearing their own clothes. Not simply caught on the street deer-in-headlights style. Thank you so much for posting this Susie!
Wicked site! Thanks for the tip off, love the variety of styling.
Thank you for the heads up on those great links, Im always on the look out for more websites to use my time on here 😉
I love those photos that incorporate the illustrations, that is just so dreamy and pretty 😀
I fell in love with the little red coat avec fur
I blame you for starting it – before I was a good self-employed graphic designer who went to work in the morning and opened her files, since discovering your style diary an age ago, I now must consult my google homepage – fashion section – home to 9 blogs, style bubble being centre stage. I must limit it to that or would never get any work done – however borderline will be making it’s way there – thanks for the inspiration!
I love that you don’t harp on about or praise BIG GUN blogs like Sart, although I think his photography is sharp, has an amazing eye and does what he does very well…. i like the more humble words and opinions of Susie Bubble. Francis x
Ahh, I love Au Revoir Simone’s album. It’s great to see those girls dressed up in such funky outfits. Hey I’ve linked you up and I love your blog.
Cheers,
X-Wen

The thing about street style it is always evolving in terms of media but always the same in terms of enterprise. Boderline will be here today gone tomorrow natch. Satorlist.
In two years it will all be something different but the great thing is soemone will always be dressing up and neatly ordering their shoe collection.

Well The Sartorialist doesn’t like his pics to be called Street Style but um…why? It’s Style and it’s shot on the Street, what’s the problemo? Anyway I really feel that people are getting their style inspiration from ‘real people’ now rather than celebs, and this is all down to the proliferation of street-style blogs. And I love it, it’s so much more exciting.
I’m really drawn to Amelia’s photos! I adore pics that give off somewhat of a vintage, “back when my mom was hip n with it” quality. Haha…she has cool pics just like these. Oh, and I like lining my shoes up that way too! 😉
thanks for the heads up, will check it out
