[ Fall Fashion blog ] 11 fashion bloggers in LA every fashionista should follow - Part 2

Though the lead damsel behind this polished style guide admits that she doesn't actually own a single piece of Dior, the witty title is not a misnomer, but instead symbolic of a lifestyle. Jacey Duprie's elegant, urban streetwear, captured through magazine-quality photos and clever captions, proves that you don't have to be 18 to pull off a crop top or earn six figures to make a suit look sexy. Jacey doesn't shy away from structured jackets, tweed skirts and strappy pumps. Most of the blogger's trappings marry reasonably priced items from Zara and Anthropologie with designer splurges, resulting in some seriously luxe aesthetics. The damsel teaches you how to assemble expensive-looking ensembles without having to spend six month's salary on every last piece. One of her favorite closet items at the moment is her Rails Kendra shirt, proving that even plaid button-downs can look swank.

"I appreciate LA's casual air and messy, thrown-togetherness," divulges Jayne Min, the STOP IT RIGHT NOW mastermind, whose style suggests equal parts Katharine Hepburn and Edward Sharpe, but whose sense of humor is all her own. "It's like the chicken or the egg puzzle, where I don't know if I appreciate it because I'm innately slovenly or if LA has actually made me this way." We adore Jayne's anti-slovenly and lovingly self-deprecating charm and lack of pretention. The blogger pairs effortless photos (featuring studded ear cuffs, leather scarves, oversized coats and her delightful dogs) with captions that wittily describe her style inspiration and general attitude. Frankly, Jayne Min is cool. Her proclivity for plaid is cool, her ability to find the best vintage denim at the Rose Bowl is cool and—perhaps most importantly—her relatability is cool. We Angelenos are proud to claim her as one of our own.

Renaissance Angeleno Krystal Simpson has dipped her steel toe in reality television, modeling and general jet-setting, but luckily, the down-to-earth blog she created in 2007 is here for keeps. What is Reality Anyway?, which Krystal describes as "part photo album, part journal, and part travel diary," gives us a cool glimpse into what could otherwise be seen as the overtly glamorous life of a reality persona in LA. Whereas censorship and phoniness run rampant in some tinseltown circles, Krystal invites all of us viewers to tag along for her TopShop photo shoots, her Galore Magazine interviews, her red carpet walks at the iHeartRadio Music Festival and more. And even though the events are awesome and the clothes are rock-and-roll, Krystal's blog gives us an unintimidating look at her true personality and everyday life, which (when she's not skateboarding around LA in Saint Laurent kicks) involves a lot of online shopping, while laying in bed, wearing "sweats, dirty hair, a beanie, Uggs... the works."

Regular dudes should rip a page out of the undoubtedly suede-bound book of Stay Classic's dapper mastermind, Tim. The blog's layout (formatted by Tumblr, by the way) is as streamlined as the concept: Debonair professional photographer shoots thrice-weekly self-portraits of the polished threads he's actually wearing that day. What's impressive is that most of Tim's high-end looking wardrobe comes from totally heard-of shops at prices for the everyman—$29 J. Crew Factory button-downs, $4 funky socks from H&M, TopMan tweed slacks bought on clearance for $20. Ultimately, Stay Classic is an unpretentious guide for how regular guys can piece together affordable clothes and come out looking pretty damn sophisticated. Tim's favorite spot in LA to score a closet gem? Buffalo Exchange. Easy.

A vintage-lover's haven manifests itself in this sweet, streamlined blog for the thrifty Angeleno. Antiquey filtered photos of old school-meets-new-school ensembles line each page with mini blurbs from blogger Caitie, including tidbits and advice for how to marry vintage pieces with modern trends and closet staples. Watch mainstream items from Forever 21 and Madewell take on throwback personalities with the addition of a retro velvet hat, androgynous oxfords or a plastic purse from the 80s. Caitie's outfits are never bank-breaking nor devoid of whimsy. Her posts provide inspiration for LA's vintage-loving and budget-conscious—those who enjoy a little creativity with their style and don't need a tricked-out blog to get it. Trade secret from Miss à la Mode herself: Angelenos who don't shy away from thrifting in the trenches absolutely must explore Jet Rag's Sunday morning sale, where everything costs $1.

Since having launched what was once a darling personal project in 2008, Emily Schuman has become the George Washington of fashion blogs. The Condé Nast-seasoned mother of this fashion, food and stylish living site has since collabed with Coach to design a wildly successful pastel pink handbag, in addition to publishing a Cupcakes and Cashmere book (yes, a physical printed book—and another is due out soon). This blogger has captured the hearts of thousands with her winsome balance of relatable charm and luxe aesthetics. Schuman's consistently updated and alluringly photographed looks of the day, recipes, beauty tips, decor and DIY ideas make C&C a benchmark for fashion blogs in LA and beyond. Plus, we take her restaurant recommendations seriously. This woman has taste.
