Wardrobe | Blog reviews

From photo blogging to quick beauty tips to technique, blog style can be as important as personal style. If you want to get serious or you are just a casual reader, when it comes down to it, quality is still better than quantity.

15 Minute Beauty Fanatic
http://www.15minutebeauty.com/

Christine is a self-admitted product junkie. She’s tried pretty much everything that has to do with cleansing pores to longer lasting lipsticks. She’s researched ingredients and does a great job of leading her readers in the right direction for good, healthy skin care products and techniques.

She openly admits to her aversion of mornings, and as a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit
doctor, she has limited time to get out the door to work. She’s gotten her routine down to 15 minutes – shower, styling, makeup, dressed and out the door to work.

Her discoveries and insight, grown from her love of beauty products, makes her writing knowledgeable and helpful for those of us who have issues with early mornings or just getting it together enough to get to work on time without looking like a complete mess.

 

What I Wore

Jessica Quirk boasts the motto “Look good, feel good.” Truly her site is a shining example that you can easily do this with clothing you might already own. She follows the rules of “real world chic.”

It’s pretty evident by her success as a blogger that her ideas are good ones. Her posts consist mainly of photos, with a few DIY and written posts thrown in. But on the whole, she leans towards the side of a look book. Her eye-catching photography immediately draws you in.

Her looks aren’t hard to put together. She knows how to create perfect yet simple fashion statements. Her ideas range from whimsical to professional, yet still maintain a relaxed feel, ooze confidence and shout fun.
