Social Networking Soulmate

After perusing del.icio.us, I have finally found her (or him? it?). For now, we will assume that camihere, my social networking soulmate, is a her.

I found her after looking through people who had tagged "The Sartorialist", which is one of my favorite street style blogs. Many people tag this particular blog and go on to have major interests in other things, like photography, art, etc. But camihere was one of the first users to have fashion as one of her top tags.

Camihere has 350 bookmarks, 165 of which are tagged fashion, which is also her top tag. Next on her top tags is “blog”, which constitutes 121 of her tags. Following after are design, art, illustration, photography, inspiration, culture, flikr, and magazine.

One of the things that initially attracted me to looking though camihere’s bookmarks were the most recent ones on Paris.  I am going abroad to London next semester but my brother and I are going to France for a week first. The blogs she has bookmarked on Paris are just what I wanted to look for, but didn’t know where to start…fate?

Camihere doesn’t comment on her most recently tagged pages, but from her first tags I can deduce she lives in Spain, Mexico, or somewhere where Spanish is spoken. I find this very interesting because only a few of her sites I have gone to have been in Spanish. , Camihere has been using this site for about 3 years, but still tends to tag almost everything the same few tags. She may not be using the site very efficiently, or often, but has created a really good library of fashion sites- including blogs, designer websites, and shopping websites.

One website I found from my social networking soul mate is lefashion.com. The author posts what she finds to be the most beautiful and inspirational fashion spreads from magazines all around the world. This site is great to see spreads from various magazines that I would never see otherwise.

Another website I found from camihere is thecherryblossomgirl.com. Alix is a personal style blogger who lives in France. Her shoe collection is unreal- after finding her blog I looked through it for hours and hours trying to see every post. I didn’t make it through to her first posts, but I found it really intriguing to see her personal style evolution over the past few years. I think that personal style blogs will be an integral tool for recording the history of fashion trends and how people all over the world interpreted them.

While some of the blog’s camihere has tagged are not useful at all, she has really hit all the major points when it comes to fashion blogs and has tagged many more that will be useful to check out.
