If you know of a YouTube trendsetter who you think deserves to be featured on Fashion Trend Spotting, let me know! Leave a comment with the person’s YouTube channel name and url.

I do ask that you keep this criteria in mind when spotting trendsetters:

• Must be original
• Must be genuine
• Must be a regular YouTube user (meaning he/she must post at least 1-2 times per month)
• Must not contain any vulgar or foul language, videos, or photos

Can’t wait to see who you’ve Spotted!!

1. The Bag Snob: Reviews of Designer Handbags, Authentic Designer Purses & Leather Bags

Ok, so the title is a bit lengthy, but don’t be misled this blog covers every thing fashion and style related. I think it’s the “be all” of fashion blogging. The most recent post highlights frugal deals; posts with money saving tips are always on the top of my list these days. The Bag Snob blog also gives you timely designer news, top fashion picks, and get this – the writer discussed MTV’s new reality show “The City” in a recent post. This blog definitely hits the top of my Top 5 list.

2. The Chic Leak 2.0

I like that The Chic Leak has moved into the New Media lingo and sets itself apart. I think this is one thing that drew my eyes to this particular blog. I commend the writers for that. The second thing that popped out to me on this blog was the post with bright red heels. Notice the tip of the shoes, they are tips from cowboy boots. A very interesting addition to the classic red heel. You can find little treasures like this throughout The Chic Leak 2.0.

3. Shoe Flair

You can never go wrong when talking about shoes. The Shoe Flair blog very poignantly showcases one pair of shoes at a time. The most recent is the ever so popular (and might I add warm) Ugg’s boots. I love that this site is simple with a picture and text plus more frugal, money saving advice. The site doesn’t seem to update or add new posts as often as the others, which is good for those of you who read blogs on a slower pace, and want to be able to keep up.

4. InStyle.com

I’m almost reluctant to add this blog to my Top 5 list simply because of the already intense popularity of it, but I remind myself it is a great blog. If you are the “keep up with the celebrities” type of person, InStyle.com’s blog is perfect for you. Not only can you read about all the inner-workings of the celebs lives, but you can also keep up with what they are wearing.

This is where I will remind you that you don’t need to feel like you must follow the fashion trends of the celebrities to be in style. Remember this website is about finding your own style in your own closet.

5. I HEART LUXE | Daily Shopping Magazine For Women

I think this is a great blog because it doesn’t stick to just fashion and style but it also pulls in neat and trendy items for modernizing your office or living space. The blog is also separated in a clean design with one item per post. I love the diversity of the blog and I think you will too.

So there you have it, my Top 5 Favorite Fashion Blogs. I encourage you to check out these blogs plus others. If you find some that you think are wonderful, send them my way so I can check it out.
