I have a few minutes, so let's discuss...whatever this is: Today busy Jessica "Studio and Meetings" Quirk's  praiseworthy, career making personal style is built on jeans, rain boots and slicker, and a sweater. Oh sorry! I forgot her super witty descriptions! Today I’m looking very much like a salty old Fisherman.  We could trade outfits and/or I could work on a lobster boat in this look! Please someone from "Deadliest Catch" get this woman on a boat immediately. I would love to see Messica standing around doing the pigeon toe, talking about their "cozy" sweaters, asking if they knew the...

Tatiana of Love Lies Lace plows forward with her "Weekly Gratitude". This week Tati expresses thanks for her new Kate Spade purse (which she claims she needed due to back problems): So I'm gonna be honest... this week sucked. I really tried but something would inevitably happen to just suck the happy out. Nevertheless I can't deny that there were some silver linings in ever day. Like the fact that I noticed something fantastic about my new purse almost a week after owning it! It feels even better to carry it around with me now! We all need an extra...

Jessica Quirk, married, is an expert at personal style. And she knows nothing says fashion and personal style like making sure everyone sees your wedding ring in at least two posts a week: What do you think? Are you married today?

"Georgie Girl", that foreign chick who invented "lifestyle blogger turned mommy blogger" as a career move, is so relatable! I am working from home today so I snapped a few pics of Charlotte as she headed out the door with her nanny for a playdate.  I finally found some hairclips that stay put in her hair. I think Charlotte’s nanny did a great job of dressing her today - the perfect example of a high-low outfit with a Ralph Lauren coat combined with a Target dress! I love how down-to-earth this post is. Just another breezy work at home day for...

You may not know this, but Love Lies Lame's Tatiana is Russian. She never mentions it, she's pretty private about her heritage as a Russian, but she is indeed Russian. In fact, she will always be Russian: I may speak English perfectly well and write decently in what is my second language, I may never be viewed as anything but American by most people on the street, I may have lived here for over a decade and yes, my husband may be American but no matter what my passport says (and just to clarify my Russian one is on it's...

A commenter brought to our attention the advertising rates offered by What I Wore and they're...optimistic to say the least. I'm curious if she is actually getting 5,000 dollars a month from someone to run an ad? Because I'm sure the Tea Party is looking for some sponsorship opportunities with 1984 Republican party outfit models.

Most of you have heard of the Jaclyn Day Blog. While she does do personal style posts, her blog also talks about what she's reading (books, not just for decoration!) It's not just frivolity and fashion, either. Recent posts talk about the loss of her dog and body image and self esteem. She also manages to be married without becoming one of the smug married style bloggers out there. Being a normal person with normal pursuits and a personal life she keeps personal may not get her the attention of Lucky magazine or Rich Tong, but it certainly keeps me...

Before Her Mediocrity locked down her old Midwest Jess blog, we had the pleasure of reading her monthly bagging on smokers. Which is fine; plenty of people hate smokers and smoke and smoking and think it should be illegal or whatever. Those people may even post statements such as Messica does on her lovepuppy blog: I really hate fashion stuff that glamorizes smoking. nasty, dirty habit. (nothing against her outfit, Erin) But I wonder if other people also then proceed to proudly display things like this in their home: I would  say fine, maybe Neckbeard secretly smokes a pipe and...

Like a personal style comet, Jessica Quirk has basically come full circle. Not only has she gone back to her original hipster bob with bangs, she is now just repeating outfits: One of the reasons I’m a vintage lover is because when you’re neither here nor there you’re never in or out.  Let me explain- I think it’s possible to stylishly pull off a vintage dress and not look out of style, because you’re not trying to be in.  Case in point - I wore this dress in 2009 and felt like a million bucks and I feel equally awesome now in...

Tatiana, of Love Lice Face, is well known for being the Peter Pan of the internets. This weekend she took another trip down Idiot Lane to have a totally awesome fun time: Friday after work we headed to one of our favorite spots for happy hour - Anqi. We both had a whirlwind week and it was so nice to finally relax, unwind and talk. I assume this means she works, but who knows. To this one, making a picnic happen is "work". Since she claims to need vacations every weekend, I'm not sure how this would be much different than every...

Julia Allison, healthy person totally qualified to give you advice about things, wants to give you advice: Ask Julia! So - if you’ve ever read the Ask Amy advice column (or if you grew up reading Dear Abby or Ann Landers, as I did) - you get the general concept: you have a dilemma, you write in to the expert, and she uses magic to solve your problem with her sweet sweet words.  Or tells you to go to therapy. I’m starting a series of Social Media Q&As for the Social Studies column, and I hereby invite you to hit...

It seems the entire internet is pregnant or giving birth the last 12 months. Since every pregnant woman who fancies herself important to the internet seems to think the planet is vastly fascinated in every pregnant thing they do, they have naturally taken to twitter to keep all of us updated. Jordan is finally noticing that she might need to make room for her spawn, and has begun nesting in earnest (even though she has about 6 months to take care of these things): pow-wowing with mom about how we're going to fit an entire extra human being and the...

Scary Sadshaw and Mr. Cakes are finally moving in together. Engagement rumors are already swirling, with Vegas bookies saying most money is being bet on a ring going on that fat paw shortly before his deployment, and their acrimonious public breakup scheduled sometime around October. In other fascinating news the whole internet cares about, I have enough papa points for a free pizza, and my cats are shedding their winter coats.

So this happened. It pretty much makes me want to throw in the towel on Messica, since all I seem to be doing is driving more traffic to her. Let's parse it anyway: Quirk’s daily chic ensembles look like the latest trends on the runways or throwbacks to extravagant vintage designs. Jeans and army jackets: extravagant and vintage. In reality, the outfits are a combination of DIY, thrift finds and even pieces from more inexpensive stores like Target. In reality, most of the crap she wears is free from her sponsors or poorly constructed high school home ec sewing projects. “You...

Following another hard day of posting lists of crap she's bought, Love Lies Lace informs us that she like, way loves nail polish: My arsenal of spring nail polishes certainly puts a smile on my face. They are my go to colors, they go with everything and are so sweet each in their own way. They are from left to right: Russian Roulette, Punchy Pink, Chinchilly, and Need A Vacation (which is very true right now - thus I'm wearing it on my toes!). You need a vacation? FROM WHAT? Didn't this special person just have a picnic ("Our weekend...

Jessica Quirk, empress of awesome, declared war so last year with her free t-shirt today. Her brave and lonely stance as the first person to ever urge this planet of barbarians to "imagine peace" is certain to fall on deaf ears, as everyone else alive like, TOTALLY LOVES WAR, but she will continue to use fashion for peace, suckers! A busy day of lunch with her "beau" (Neckbeard Quirk, maybe you've heard she's married?) and playing with markers was thankfully ended with a well-earned relaxing cocktail: Green tea and cardamom gin cocktail. @quirk is a mix master!! 4 minutes ago...

Sarah Lacy, pregnant,  has already told you people there is no recession. Now she doesn't understand why the writing proletariat are so upset about losing freelance jobs. It's really easy when you have a writing job and two published books under your belt to be all "let them eat HuffPo" when freelance writers complain about being ish canned. Why don't you go back to complaining about how rough it is to be a privileged late 30's white upper middle class couple in San Francisco expecting a child and getting tired while antiquing or flying around India on the US government's...

Finally grasping that nobody will pick on him if he posts lots of pics of himself cuddling an adorable animal, David Karp finally went out and got himself a bulldog puppy: Everyone welcome the dog of unknown origin that was purchased because tumblr needed a mascot. Prepare your dash for endless pictures of Jeremy Irons or whatever its name is. If you can get to your dashboard, that is.

Jessica Quirk, fashion icon and house hunter, has evidently figured out that banks do not consider playing dress up an actual job. They seem to have put their house buying plan on hold and acquired an apartment instead. Once again a perfectly mundane event is cause for multiple exclamation points. Does this mean thatsquirky.com, the rarely updated website supposedly built around the idea of being married in Broomcloset and buying a house, is history?

Nick Denton is the huggable sweetheart behind the insanely awesome and well-written Gawker website. Everyone who knows him has nothing but loving things to say - in fact, his kindness and sensitivity are so well known, there was even talk of including a "Nickie" in the new My Little Pony series. Nick is renowned for his deep love of the Gawker readers and commenting community. He even does customer service through his twitter, helping readers with the very rare Gawker website complaint: Sources say Denton has been known to declare "Gawker staff hug day" where he hugs every member of...
