Welcome to our style blog, Mirror Image.
We thought it was about time that The Inquirer got in on the local fashion blogosphere action since there is just so much to write and so little column space.
That said, our blog will be about style. We aren’t going to push product (sorry, cosmetic companies). And we promise not to over-celebrity you – although we will take note of the ridiculous, like Paris Hilton pledging to change the world, AFTER she got blonde extensions post her jail release, of course.
We want Mirror Image to be your online choice for local fashion happenings and national fashion news. Here is where we will muse and ponder (and occasionally wish) on everything from Theory dresses to Bandolino shoes.
We’ll blog about new hairstyles. Vintage purses. And we’ll rejoice when you all STOP wearing black nail polish.
We’ll give our spin on trends, such as the current swapping mania going on now with high-end shoes and bags. I don’t know why someone would shell out big bucks to rent a bag, but whatever. We’ll write about it.
And occasionally we’ll use this space to spotlight local stylistas who have turned a passion for fashion into a booming business, whether it’s a fancy new boutique or jewelry (although, I’ll warn you now, I’m not a big bead fan).
We’ll also be on the lookout for street style, from Phillies' games to the Market/Frankfurt El to your neighborhood Acme. Because fashion is more than what the big houses in New York, Paris and Los Angeles say it is. It’s what WE wear, no matter how good or bad.
See what we think. Tell us what you think. And enjoy.
