Blogs that I read
I read a few blogs frequently, these three are my favorite:
The one I read most frequently is the Zoe Report on rachelzoe.com. Rachel Zoe is a Los Angeles based stylist who works with celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Eva Mendes, and Keira Knightley. Her blog is updated daily and highlights different products from different designers and companies. An item is featured, described with Rachel’s original vocabulary, and then is paired with a more affordable matching similar product. Most items Zoe features are very expensive and her “Parallel Universe” section shows a similar item at a more affordable price. This blog is not a website for advertisement though it does provide a very good forum for Rachel’s endorsement. Her blog provides a disclaimer saying:
“The chic variety of accessories, apparel, and other items featured in The Zoe Report and on RachelZoe.com are carefully chosen by Rachel Zoe.
Never in a million years would we accept money (or Barney’s gift cards) in exchange for editorial endorsement. That would be bananas. The bad kind.”
Another blog that I read is title Bitten, it is Mark Bittman’s blog on the New York Times website. Mark Bittman is a food journalist who also has a column in the New York Times called The Minimalist and is the author of six food related books. His blog highlights different types of foods that are uncommon, recipes, traditions, or anything really that pertains to food, the consumption and or preparation of it. Bittman provides a thoughtful insight along with his expertise. The textual blog is always accompanied by a vibrant picture of the featured food.
This last blog is one that I usually refer to if I’m traveling into New York City. It is written by two guys, Chris Stang and Andrew Steinthal. These men are self-proclaimed foodies and this blogs main goal is as a very straight forward, honest restaurant reviewing site. They group restaurants into categories such as “Buffalo Wing Fix”, “First/Early in the Game Dates”, “Laughing at Europeans in Crazy Outfits.” The restaurants are ranked according to price, venue, atmosphere, and of course the food. This is a great website, it is comical and truthful and does a real service to those in need of a restaurant recomendation.
