Ladies Who Do No Wrong: Chiara Ferragni

If I can have it my way, I'd rather be strutting around the globe in designer outfit from head to toe, with my entourage in tow. To me, this idea could only be a distant dream that I won't even try to catch but to Chiara Ferragni, it's the life she's living.

You have to give it to her, in an industry where everyone is aesthetically pleasing and their income coming from an influx of products who wish to 'dress you', 'feed you', or just 'use you' thereby making it difficult to to decline a sponsorship even if the product doesn't represent who they really are, she has been successful in tapping into a niche market. Let's give credit to her then boyfriend Riccardo Pozzoli (this is an attempt at my part to drop his name as he is absolutely deserving of the commendation as well. Not to mention he and Chiara used to be my favorite blogger couple) who's one half of the brain that strategically planned where Chiara's career as a blogger should pan out. Whereas other bloggers are non-discriminative of brands, accepting whatever comes their way, Chiara Ferragin (with the help of Pozzoli) concentrated on targeting the high-end market. She dressed herself in designer stuff, which seems ostentatious to others, that eventually everyone who are someone in the designer labels industry welcomed her presence. Furthermore, her importance was acknowledged.

Here is the living Barbie doll of the blogging industry:

Ladies Who Do No Wrong: Jane Aldridge

I was in HS when I came across fashion blogs while searching for mood inspirations. Since then, I've believed more in their creative power than in celebrities'. And normally, the bloggers whom I tend to heavily obsess on have styles that are leaning on the chimerical side rather than relatable. I have fondness for others whose style I can only aspire for; actual imitation is completely asymptotic. What's the point of looking up to someone else when you can easily emulate her style? Also, I admire them because they push all fashion boundaries and seem to be non-apologetic for it.

Whether it's because of her porcelain skin, tall frame, annoyingly always gorgeous red locks, excessive accessorizing, editorial-worthy photographs, well-decorated apartment, and her 'sea of shoes' (both blog itself and words' literal meaning), there's just something about Jane Aldridge that I'll always adore.

For goodness' sake, Jane, why do you have all the beautiful shoes in the world?

Ladies Who Do No Wrong: Olivia Palermo-Huebl

With a face and physique like hers, not to mention a boyfriend who's every inch her equal, how can Olivia Palermo go wrong?

The moment I decided to come up with posts about ladies who I believe seldom, if not never, commit fashion faux pas, I've thought of having Olivia Palermo in them. Because whatever she puts on herself, it looks inspiring and wearable enough to make me buy similar looking articles. (You see, I have no resources to buy the exact copy just yet). But when I was just about to select my favorite outfits of hers, something would always stop me. I.e. I'd see new photos of her rocking an even more impressive outfit. So I thought a mere post could not encapsulate her always on-point sartorial choices. But her very recent wedding to her fiancé became the tipping point for me to force myself into choosing her best looks so far. If before I'm already in awe of her fashion brilliance, now I completely believe that she's on top of her game. I never thought she'd wear a conventional gown but I never guessed that she'd sport sweater and shorts on her big day. Alright, the Carolina Herrera tulle skirt made it a darling but still. OP has plenty of surprises in her indeed. She has elevated the idea of a wedding gown. Bravo, bravo.

And you know what I like most about her?

She repeats her clothes over and over and still, she looks as though her wardrobe is limitless. Mix and match master. Print-mixing master. Hair and make up master. These are photos showing her expertise in mix and matching and in clashing prints:
