With the advent of September upon us, it’s time to gear up for something new. Whether or not you’re heading back to school, starting a new job, or none of the above, once fall rolls around, a feeling of renewal and excitement for a change of pace as the seasons change is pretty much inevitable. And if you’re heading into your freshman year of college, or your freshman year of real life, any style lover worth her salt knows that fall is the best time of year to covet new fashion finds.

We’re talking new jeans, scarves, coats, and our favorite…boots! And while it’s always cool to pay close attention to the What’s New section of your favorite shopping site, everyone needs a little inspiration on how to take those new duds to the streets, or even how to wear what’s already in your closet with a fresh spin.

That’s where fashion blogs come in. There are a seemingly endless selection of beautiful girls who show off their photogenic fashion skills and expensive accessories available on the internet for your envious perusal. But these are our favorite blogs that will help you take your own finds and rock them with an effortless fall-appropriate attitude.

And yes, they might have some pretty expensive of the moment picks, but the smart ones scour the net for similar items at all different pricepoints, something everyone can appreciate – whether you’re Blair Waldorf, or Jenny Humphrey.

Cupcakes & Cashmere
