At last night's H&M event on the fab Gramercy Park Hotel rooftop, fellow fashion blogger, Wendy a.k.a. retrogurl of nitrolicious.com was totally "Spring & the City" in this cropped jacket, high-sheen black leggings and wildflower-print tunic. Here's a hint.

It's spring coat time and I am absolutely loving the trenches that are starting to pop up. Check the candy striped number, fellow blogger, Marilyn Kirschner was wearing when I ran her down just outside the tents at this past Fashion Week. Alice Ritter's more muted transition trench (and matching skirt!) will be perf when it comes out in the fall.

I bumped into fellow blogger, Zandile Blay at Tracy Reese's Secret Garden Party last night and could not stop the drool from dripping right onto her Chanel bag. It would look amazing with these Prada shoes, don't you think?

A British blog with global reach, My Fashion Life can be counted upon for news and views from the world of style. Our favorite recent post from Michele Obi? The one about jeans with built-in thongs exposed. You've gotta see it to believe it.

What are you wearing?
The top is 80s vintage from a store in Notting Hill and the jeans are Topshop.
Who inspires you?
People inspire me...from the creatives to the academics. I'm completely inspired by knowledge and believe you can never stop learning, especially from people.

What disgusting trend (new or old) do you secretly love?
Shoulder Pads! LOL what can I say I'm an 80's baby.

If your blog was a person, what would it wear?
The blog is so versatile and doesn't discriminate so it'd probably wear most designers from the high end to the independent and would be comfortable in couture as well as the high street.

How did you become interested in fashion?
This is a difficult one... I really don't know how or why. My mum was big on fashion and was incredibly stylish so that could possible be it. All I can really remember is from the age of 6 I was drawing dresses and trying to create vest tops, skirts & dresses from plastic carrier bags. Or I'd look through catalogs and try to recreate my favourite pieces with fabric and a small hand sewing machine. I was an only child ;-)

What's the best thing in your closet?
Mmmmm... this is a tough one, probably a halter-neck knee length, deep blue pleated dress by Paul Davis that I bought last summer. It was a bargain at £10 down from £100 at a secret store of mine which sometimes stocks top designers at ridiculous prices. It fits beautifully and I feel so special every time I wear it.

Is there anything you wouldn't do for the Anya Hindmarch "I'm not a plastic bag"?
I wouldn't do a thing for this bag... I think it's overrated and the hype surrounding it is ridiculous!

One of the younger fashion blogs on the scene, Truly, the aberant is a deeply personal blog, filled with photos of Carissa's new haircuts, a link to model Chanel Iman's MySpace page, and our personal fave, a photo shoot of herself dressed like today's fashion victim.

What are you wearing?
I'm a fan of the minimalist aesthetic, so I am wearing a (very) little black dress from Rampage, borrowed from a friend, layered underneath a previously long-sleeved gray thermal meant for camping. My waist is cinched with a shortened braided leather belt that was my dad's; I turned the buckle towards the back because I love small, unique details like that. On my feet are my panacea to all problems regarding footwear -- a pair of very low black suede peep-toe wedges from Steve Madden. They have a very short wooden wedge of just one inch, which I oddly adore.

If your blog was a person, what would it wear?
I'm sure my blog would be a little bit pretentious and would probably wear a lot of young designers, like one of my favorites, Frank Tropiano. My blog probably wouldn’t approve of my wardrobe, actually.

Who (or what) inspires you?
I live in New England, so often the inspiration (or dictation, rather) for my outfits can stem from something so simple as the weather. Also, I always find something fresh in Zé do Caixão films, Victor Hugo and silence.

What's the best thing in your closet?
I bought a pair of these beautiful, staggeringly tall golden platforms last September that I can never seem to get over. They’re about four and a half inches high with a one inch platform for easy walking – the only problem with the shoes is that the smallest size they were made in is about a size too big for me, so I can only wear them in the winter with thick wooly socks or tights. I have very petite feet; I'm a size five.

Can you share you worst fashion moment?
The entire fourth and fifth grade. I was Harriet Potter dressed solely in blue.

Is there anything you wouldn't do for a [insert name of your most coveted article of clothing here or favorite designer]?
Apart from prostitution, there isn’t much that would keep me away from a Pre-Prada Jil Sander collection, or the current f/w line under Raf Simons.

If your style was a fashion mashup, what would it be?
I'm so bad at these things... I don't know, clinical depression in Reykjavik? My style isn't so sad, its just very neutral and layered.

Adeleine's experience as a storied world traveler informs her blog, La Femme, with a decidedly international and timeless bent. Less about trends and more about classic style and what inspires it, La Femme will keep you posted not just on the runways, but on art, literature and poetry as well. She's not just smart, she's young, too, and just turned twenty earlier this week -- happy birthday, Adeleine!

This is what I wore to my workplace today.
Everyday of my life I wear boots -- I feel naked without boots, even at home. It's often cold where I live, so I wear pants a lot, even under some of my dresses, because when I go out I often walk for hours. Today I'm wearing a 1960s style princess line coat with peter pan collar and oversize buttons. My gold Rajasthani earrings were a treasure I found in Little India in Toronto. I create armbands for most of my outfits, just because I like them, and I usually carry one of my brightest bags to cheer me up in gray weather. This one is by Marimekko.

How did you become obsessed with fashion?
I'm mostly in love with the aesthetic possibilities of exploring and sharing personal style, and fashion is a critical part of that. I see the aesthetic possibilities for each person becoming their own painting. For me, fashion is one of the most important paintbrushes, but it takes desire and creativity to make something beautiful. The fashion shows were one of the first beautiful doors into another world for me. Once I walked through that door, I was hooked.

What spring trends are you excited about?
I feel rather schizophrenic about trends because although I enjoy observing them and writing about them, my personal fashion universe spans the last three centuries, and in that context, I barely register seasonal fashion trends. I just look all the time for things I find beautiful or interesting, and I look at fashion, art, trends and style over the past centuries as my inspiration. It's probably true that I'm never fully in the present. But for the record, I love the potential of Balenciaga's extraordinary cyber-femme heels.

Who do you find most inspiring as a designer?
As a human being, Vivienne Westwood seems pretty inspiring to me. I'm very much in love with everything Olivier Theyskens did for Rochas, and is now doing for Nina Ricci. Because I feel so bonded to Scandinavia, I've always loved the stories of Marimekko and IvanaHelsinki.

What song best describes your style?
The soundtrack to Sally Potter’s film Orlando. It's ethereal, it unfolds like a tapestry, and it paints time travel for your ears. I always feel completely at home as Orlando moves through the centuries. I identify very much with that film and its beautiful soundtrack.

If you could describe your style as a fashion mashup, what would it be?
Well, today I feel like Wuthering Heights meets Aeon Flux. Ask me again tomorrow.

Fashionista may be just two months old, but Faran's been writing about fashion since college, most recently for Fashion Week Daily. We're loving the new blog, and especially love it when Faran's dispatches are delivered in artsy collage-like doodles. Isn't she adorable?

What she's wearing:
I am wearing the Proenza for Target swing coat that I bought at Opening Ceremony on the very first day the collection was sold. It was the night before Fashion Week and there was a crush of fashion editors in line to buy Proenza, then race home, change into cuter clothes, and go out to parties and events. It was sort of like the first day of school; everyone was there and talking about what shows they had the next day. Underneath is a Marc bubble dress that I bought for a dinner party, with Betsey Johnson tights, an H&M necklace, and the Abaete for Payless flats. I made one of the bracelets I'm wearing -- it says "Am I The Imaginary Socialite?" -- and the other was a present from Jessica Kagan Cushman. I think that I look like a Muppet, always.

Tell me a little bit about yourself and how you got into fashion writing:
I was always into fashion -- I used to hack Vogue and W into little pieces and make collages all over my bedroom of Kate Moss and whatever was on the Chanel runway. In college I wrote a fashion column for my school paper, and it was so over-the-top that it got a lot of attention. WWD came down to research my school and interview me for their college issue, and they were like, "Come to New York after college." So I did.

Do you consider yourself unhealthily obsessed with fashion?
Not at all, but my friends think I'm weird - they're more into music and they can't believe how fast I can look at something on a celebrity or on the street and know where it came from. I wish there was a game show for that.

If you could see any lost trend return to fashion, what would it be?
I am killing for Haagen-Dazs to revive those t-shirts from the '70s with all the ice cream flavors on them. Kate Spade did it with handbags, but no, I want the actual t-shirt to layer under all my strapless Marc dresses.

What is your most prized possession, fashion-wise?
My mother's blood red leather swing jacket from the '70s with a giant red leather belt -- I wear it over anything and I look like Emma Peel in The Avengers. It's amazing.

Are you looking forward to any spring trends?
Miniskirts! Mini dresses! Anything obscenely short that I can wear with flats and dance with boys! Yay!

If you could describe your style as a fashion mashhup, who would you be?
I am... um... Penny Lane once she goes through rehab and starts working under Phoebe Philo for an imaginary Topshop collection. But really, I think my style is always, like, "I have a crush on you but I don't want you to know it." It's really flirty, but also a little messed up.

Also known as "eye candy for the style hungry," the Face Hunter blog tracks and photographs some of the hippest street fashion in Paris. We love Yvan, whose golden eye never quits. He tracks everyone from club kids to the high fashion set, turning his blog into a catalog of original, and inspirational, fashion ideas.

What are you wearing today?
shoes: vintage from Stockholm, I bought them last November; it was the first time I could find secondhand shoes.
trousers: vintage from Paris, I bought them with my ex-girlfriend.
cardigan: Henrik Vibskov, I got it when I walked for him last summer at Paris Fashion Week.
scarf: Pucci, I got it at a Pucci store opening in Paris.
XXXL bow-tie: some friends found it on the street in Berlin.

Describe your best fashion find ever.
A man in NYC wearing a special piece on his shirt that was hiding his tie.
Are you looking forward to any particular spring trends?
Not really, I don't think too much about trends, I'm looking forward to see personal inventions more than the trends you see on Style.com.
What disgusting trend do you secretly love?
Over the top nu-rave.
If you could describe your style as a fashion mashup, who would you be?
Mick Jagger meets Yves Saint-Laurent
Why do you love style? Because fashion is one of the most beautiful expressions of what people are.

We love Susie of Style Bubble for her international perspective and original content. We also love her because she's planning on making her very own Balenciaga metallic robot leggings. A friend snapped this photo of her in Paris during fashion week, where she said she was sans cute clothes and "looking like a destitute hobo." We think not, of course.
What She's Wearing: I'm wearing a Ben Sherman checked wool jacket with a huge oversized collar. Ben Sherman is actually seen as a bit of a cruddy label in the UK but I just really liked the oversized checks. No label snobbery here! Then there's the Christopher Kane for Topshop dress which I bought on the first day it came out - about 10 people were milling outside the doors and they literally ran into the store as soon as the doors opened even though there was no need! Underneath the skirt, I'm wearing a Sophia Kokosalaki white pleated skirt which I got in the Browns sale store on South Molton Street in London for about 10 pounds - that was a perk-me-up buy that day when everything else was depressingly expensive. To pick out the neon zip, I wore green neon tights. The shoes are really scuffed up but they're perfect flats for walking around Paris - they're by Fiorucci and I got them in Times Square in Hong Kong. Fiorucci is not really 'in Vogue' anymore but, hey, I like the shoes!
Q: What is your favorite item of clothing?
A: I can't possibly play favourites with my clothes! I love everything I buy even the tatty less expensive stuff as they're all essential components.
Q: Are you looking forward to any particular spring trends?
A: Futurism. Nobody wants to wear it so I want to really go all out with it. I'm actually trying to construct my own version of the Balenciaga C-3P0 gold plated leggings, a slightly more wearable, and infinitely less expensive version! I have bought a cheap batch of lame, sequinned fabrics and foil fabric that will hopefully be transformed into something terrifyingly trashy/futuristic.
Q: If you could describe your style as a fashion mashup, what would it be?
A: Madame Pompadour meets Lou Lou de la Falaise
