Obviously a love of blogging has to have resonated from somewhere. For me it was actually magazines. I used to think it was 'sooo cool' that people could get paid for writing about something they liked. I thought I was dead set on being a journalist until I discovered the internet has it own special kind of 'magazines' - blogs.

Today, I'm going to write about blogs that I follow and adore, and the reasons why of course.

Tara gets the spotlight first as she's also a fellow Irish native (even though I'm only half!) She is completely inspiring in her fashion sense, choices and her overall lifestyle having uprooted her life to move to the Big Apple - NYC to you and me.

This lovely lady even personally emailed me back giving me advice on what it's like to make to the move to New York as I am wanting to do a gap year there after I graduate (she's also a former student - holla!)

Running a successful blog as well as a extremely well edited youtube channel, this 23-year-old is showing us all that if you put your mind to it, you can do it.

I've been glued to Samantha Maria back when she was Sammi who ran Beautycrush and I'm pretty sure still lived with her parents. Even a waaay back then, I thought, wow this girl knows her stuff and she still does to this day. Her outfits are now more elevated and sophisticated, everything you want to wear and have to have.

She runs her own youtube channel with nearly 2 million subscribers, a sleek and stylish blog and has even created her own fashion line, Novem & Knight, along with her fiancé Jason. If that isn't #goals, what is?

With over 1.6 subscribers, Jenn Im has everyone practically foaming at the mouth for her stylistic brilliance. Give this girl a bin bag  and she will quite literally style it for you! As a long term subbie, I've watched her grow into an inspiration to many teens and young women across the world. She has a quirky sense of fashion that resonates with me, in a way that she gave me the confidence to wear what I want and own it.

This girl seems to be going further and further, and she is most definitely one of the main reasons I continue to work hard for my aspirations.

I finish this post with this Arizonian double act. Steph and Mel continue to curate excellent clips and paired with fantastic editing they've found the algorithm for great content! Their some 'odd-high fashion' twist of fashion is refreshing and they make you want to get in your car and find your nearest 'thrift' shop (charity shop to us UK folks).

Much Love, Katie x
