Perk Up Your Bookmarks Bar With These 5 Fashion Sites!

Gone are the days when the word "bookmark" actually meant something to mark a page in a book. With the plethora of fashion websites that are sprouting like mushrooms by the minute, sometimes it's hard to pick a few good/new ones to make your time on cyberspace (talk about obsolete expressions) actually worthwhile. Other than, ahem, this blog of course, here are five more sites that are bookmark-worthy for the picky, fashion enthusiast.

1. For Original Editorials: Always, Sometimes, Anytime

Always, Sometimes, Anytime is a New Zealand based site that is split into three parts: Always for cultural news, Sometimes for commentaries, and Anytime for contributor-based editorials. Most remarkable is the latter, for the original editorials are always quirky, dreamy and edgy all at the same time.

2. For Designer's Inspiration: I Love Wildfox

Kimberley Gordon makes up half the duo behind the fun, California label Wildfox Couture. Tagged as "an inspirational blog for artists," Kimberley's posts range from personal sketches and photographs to images from magazines and the web that she's inspired by. If you want a peek of the workings inside the head of a successful creative force in fashion, then this is the site for you.

3. For Menswear: Fucking Young!

There's not a lot of sites dedicated to men's fashion on the web, but Fucking Young is definitely one of the best. The Barcelona based blog focuses on "youthful aesthetics derived from manly hemispheres," and "everything fashion or fashionable that triggers libidinal gratification." Trust me, as someone who's egocentrically more inclined towards women's wear, this blog excites my almost non-existent curiosity of men's fashion like no other.

4. For Personal Style: Pandora (pictured)

Personal style blogs can look all of the same: wear Alexander Wang-inspired outfits, label everything as vintage, and pose like a choleric model that hasn't eaten for days. Pandora's Louise Ebel is a Parisian art history student who smiles at the camera like she actually likes her blog readers. She epitomizes French style at its most adorable, and not in the least bit annoying way.

5. For Shopping: NotCouture

Got some extra cash to burn, or some time to indulge in an imaginary shopping spree? NotCouture scours the web for great finds that are worth your real or hypothetical bucks. Instead of going on the same sites to shop online, NotCouture will inform you of the latest fashion collaborations, introduce you to indie labels, and point you towards that one special item to lust over from your favorite line.

Do you know of any blogs or sites that are worth considering for that oh-so-valuable bookmark space?
