For November’s rendition of blogs I’ve recently found and love, I present you with…
Chelsea is the voice behind Bright Side Dweller and she couldn’t be more delightful in both prose and picture. In her own words: “I’m a gay girly feminist hoping to encourage healthy body image and fight against harmful stereotypes.” Chelsea has a great eye for color and proportions and a way with belting that gives us a run for our money.
Candis and Rose, the writers behind Musing Around, are fellow academics and style activists, likewise resisting the polyester suit of academic yore. Their new blog is chock full of wonderful outfits and gorgeous style inspirations, make sure to take a look if you haven’t come across it yet!
The lovely Mariel of Preppy With A Twist was recently featured in our Color Symposium Review and she’s bound to impress you with her bold choice of colors and wonderful collection of shoes. In her own words: “I’m finding my style, which is caught somewhere between a prepster obsession with plaid and grosgrain ribbon, and the hard hitting trends of New York.”
If you, like me, love to travel and to check out trends in far away and exciting places, then you will equally love the wonderful City Chic series over at The Glamorous Grad Student. This blog isn’t a new discovery and has been on our blogroll for quite a while, but I just want to draw your attention to this great series: Guest bloggers post about their favorite hang-outs, thrift shops, city sights, and street style in the series that has thus far featured Tel Aviv, New York, London and Dubai among others.
And on a somewhat related note, I present you with this wonderful find. If you like colors, reading, and eco-friendly re-purposing of already owned object (if you read this blog, most likely all of those apply to you), the you’ll probably be as delighted by this paint chip turned bookmark idea!
If you have some lovely links you’d like to share, please do so in the comments or on your own site (and let us know) and spread the blog love! S.
Well, I’d feel remiss if I didn’t tout my own blog here: http://fashionableacademics.blogspot.com/. We are a team of academics at varying stages of our careers and in both the humanities and sciences. Our mission is to dress stylishly but to be aware of the potential perils of dressing fashionably in academia. We’re very excited that thechemist-coture recently joined our team and we’re looking forward to his first post in a few days. Many men care about fashion, too, so we’re thrilled that the gender barrier is being broken down a bit on our blog!
What gorgeous blogs you have found and how very nice of you to share what you have found with us. Thank you!
I too would feel negligent in not promoting my own blog: http://lawschoolfashionista.blogspot.com/ (Yay law school jargon!) I am a law school student in my third (last!) year in law school juggling being a student, working part time, planning a wedding, looking for a job, all while trying to dress appropriately and maintain my individuality and femininity.
thanks for the terrific suggestions–i especially like the glamorous grad student. check out my nascent blog–whatwouldanerdwear.blogspot.com–to see (yet another) bike-riding, budget-conscious, midwestern grad student do her thing.
I am so completely surprised and flattered to see my blog here. This totally made my day– my third day in a row I’m staying home with the flu :( Thank you, S, for including me!
Wow! Mariel (whose blog I adore!) took the words right out of my mouth… I am so surprised and flattered at my inclusion in this post! Thank you, S, for including me and my little blog :) Academichic RULES!
Thanks for the lovely links for those of you who added yourselves in the comments section here! I come across a lot of new blogs (new to me) all the time and it’s hard to keep up and promote all the lovely blogs that deserve mentioning!

Those bookmarks are awesome – totally adding them to my Xmas gift making stash! (along with some bracelets and decorated sauce bottles)
I decided to make a ‘page’ on my blog of all the blog ‘articles’ I constantly turn to – but it needs updating (badly!) Most articles start as bookmarks (massive folder) and s.l.o.w.l.y they’re trickling onto the page.
Ladies of Academic Chic! Thanks so much for featuring us! I come to your site everyday and imagine my surprise when I see our photos! Thanks again!
cool new sites! I fellow Oaklander, some stylish vintage lovers, and a creative lady who shares my affection for the SNL baby hands skit! Hooray!
