*Bibimbop : "Fashion" blog

Since starting my blog, I've become a daily reader of several other blogs.

It's a "community of bloggers" as they say. Although I don't think my blog has tapped into that yet. I'd like to think that I'm passing by, having a look at some places and seeing if I want to buy - a potential new neighbor to the community - if you will. However, what I'm seeing - I'm liking.

I've been using other blogs to learn different layouts, develop new ways of sharing and to find even more blogs. But the most important thing I have gotten from this community is a new source of enjoyment and a whole lot more brains contributing great ideas to my life and especially my closet!!

When living in Asia, the part of your brain that controls your sense of fashion is hijacked. Things that you would never, ever, never-never do or wear back home, start to creep into your mind and whisper softly that "you could do that. It'd look good on you!" Oh! Such silly foolish words. You must remember: you are not 5'2", you do not have the weight and body frame of an Asian. You actually canNOT do that. But your brain is overwhelmed; it simply can't fight these thoughts!!

And that's where these blogs come in.

They give you ideas on how to restyle things, how to style new things and also keep you in check with what is being worn back home. They restore your twisted mind to a shape that resembles a small bit of your "normal self" and tell you that although you might really want a pair of black/neon running shoes, it is not ok to wear them with dresses - because you aren't Asian!!

So when I did some shopping recently, I thought I'd pay tribute to these new beloved blogs and give you a little look at what I learned.
