A while ago, something remarkable started to happen…
girls all around the world were no longer writing “dear diary” but went outside with their Nikon or Canon
Armed with a DSLR they posed, smiled and jumped in the streets
all the while ignoring the stares and thinking: fuck being discrete.
These girls showed their style and inspiration almost every day,
wearing the cutest dresses, fancy shoes or a new beret.
People loved it, and pretty soon the girls’ web-spaces attracted a lot of views,
They were fashion’s new it-girls and the blogging phenomenon started spreading fast, like breaking news.
But not everyone is a fan, some people still think these girls are superficial…
for trying to make it in the fashion world or acting as a wannabe model.
Most of the girls don’t care and just keep on doing their thing
They have fun with it by making up words like arm party and starting blogger hypes such as the YSL arty ring
Today there are tons of bloggers, each one of them trying to achieve a dream…
for some lucky few it has brought a lot of success, bigger than they could have ever foreseen
No one quite knows what the future will hold for most of these bloggers…
will they fade away or will they continue to take over the fashion world and keep on earning those dollars?

I loved this post and the line “girls all around the world were no longer writing “dear diary” but went outside with their Nikon or Canon” so much I hade to share this post of yours on my blog. This fashion blogging phenomenon is really interesting, always inspiring and I love “meeting” new people, getting to know them and sharing common interests with them. I hope out fashion hype phenomenon will last for many more years.
This is a nice tale very inspiring and I think most of us can relate to this.

Amai, jij kan echt wel goed schrijven in’t Engels!
Vond het eerst een beetje vreemd om jouw artikel op Belmodo.tv in het Nederlands te lezen, maar ik denk dat ik er gewoon even aan gewoon moet geraken ;-)
Hello! I love the way you wrote your poem. Aside from that you’ve really got a talent in fashion.
Like I said on Twitter: Love it!

That was a lovely poem, Kim! I, too, hope to make it big someday, with or without my blog.
Super gerijmd! xo
Inderdaad :) maar zolang je geen te grote verwachtingen hebt, is het een leuke hobby.
En sommige blog trends zijn inderdaad wel een beetje te, dan ben ik het al beu tegen dat je het hier in Belgie in de winkels vindt.
