Local Press: Boston Style Bloggers

On Sunday the Boston Globe Magazine included a special Spring Style edition. There’s a spread featuring seven of Boston’s best style bloggers, along with some fun facts about each, including fashion obsessions, favorite places to shop, and style philosophies. The ladies were good sports at the shoot, as we lined them up and posed them this way and that, referencing the iconic Vanity Fair Hollywood Issue covers for ideas on groupings and stances. I think the whole package came out great, and I hope they love it. (Thank you all for your participation, and sorry we had to cut off your shoes!) Below, their names and blogs, plus tidbits we didn’t have room for in the article.

Sponsor Style: Storkie

I’d like to start the week off by welcoming Storkie, the newest StyleCarrot sponsor.

The designs I like best are the fun and girly ones. They’re totally customizable. Not only can you choose the card stock and background color, you can customize the ladies and gents in the illustrations—hair color, skin tone, eye shape. Clothing can be specified too… red bikini or black one-piece? Even the props can be personalized. For instance, diamond rings can be rendered as round, heart-shaped, marquise, etc. Or choose the beverage of your choice: Champagne or beer? It’s all very fun.

Here’s a sampling of the line. They cover pretty much any occasion, including baby announcements, holiday parties, sweet sixteens, baby showers, birthdays, and changes of address. Have a look at my favorites, then click through for more.
