If you haven’t already guessed, I have an affinity for amusing alliteration. But this post not about me. In fact it’s the opposite! It’s about… others… and their… style.  The whole concept of snappin’ digi-photos of hip kids and their street fashion is not particularly new.  I believe it would take something close to like a caj-illion years to list all of the blogs out there covering this field.  What is a mite new is finding myself drawn in as if by some sort of indie-couture tractor beam.

I don’t feel I particularly missed my calling as a designer, model or fashionista (sounds like a well dressed uprising!).  Perhaps these sites just speak to my naturally voyeuristic tendencies.  I’m not talking a creepy George McFly hanging out in a tree watching his future wife get undressed before his time traveling son hits him with a car sort of voyeurism.  I mean more of a “Hey people are awesome!  Look at them being awesome!” kinda voyeurism.  Is there a difference?  I’m not entirely sure. My mind inevitably moves on to musing about the nature of their underwear before I can answer that question.

Now don’t be so quick to judge.  This is the age of the internet dang-it!  An age which demands we all point our collective peepers outward and bask in each others… everything.  It’s from this basking that we arrive in a graceful boomerang-like manner, to the topic which started all of this; the street fashion blog.  What could we call this trend?  Nu-stalking?  Paparazzi for the under-famed? Oooh the anti-pop-arrazzi!  I feel things will get a little too portmanteau if I keep this up.

To gain a better understanding of what I’m attempting to touch on here, I recommend you pop your interwebbin’ head in at StyleClicker.  This site focuses primarily on the area of the world known as Munich.  What I love is that you get a healthy mix of everything from the casual, the formal, and the I wouldn’t wear it but way to be bold fellow humanaught.  Also this site has a pretty solid international blog roll if you want to get the four-one-one on other cities.

Once upon a time Calgary had their own steet style site… Company of Wolves, I believe… which appears to be defunct.  If you have any suggestions on where I can stalk individuals within my own city… please let me know.
