Global Street Style

Obsessed with Japanese street style as I am, on a pleasurable trip to Japantown in San Fransisco, I purchased "Ganguro Girls", a book that consisted of nothing but pictures of Japanese girls photographed on the street wearing Ganguro style clothes. What can I say? It was cheaper than "Fruits". There was wild, but inspiring stuff in between those pages (And don't worry Lolita Bible, I am coming for you too!).

Which leads me to a list of websites Lucky Magazine called the "best" for global street style. Most of the time, I think Lucky magazine has degenerated into an overpriced, unforgivable style rag that pressures their readers into thinking a thousand dollar pair of trendy boots is a reasonable investment (Oh, Lucky! How far you've fallen!). However, sometimes they still come up with some really good gems.

Each sites below shows snaps of funky fresh, daily wear from a corner of the globe. (Oh, my blog nation, how I love thee). Notice that DC doesn't have a blog in the list. Get cracking, my photo journalists!
