I love the Sartorialist . If you haven't heard of the Sartorialist, here is what Wiki has to say about it. 
"The Sartorialist" is a fashion blog by Scott Schuman in New York.[1] After leaving a fashion sales position to take care of his daughter in 2005, he began carrying a digital camera around on the streets of New York City, taking pictures of people who had dressed in some way that caught his eye, and then posting them to his blog, sometimes with comments about what he finds.[1]
He describes his philosophy as trying to echo how fashion designers looked at what they saw on the street:
“I thought I could shoot people on the street the way designers looked at people, and get and give inspiration to lots of people in the process. My only strategy when I began The Sartorialist was to try and shoot style in a way that I knew most designers hunted for inspiration.[2]”

Schuman has taken photos in different locations besides New York, often Paris and Milan when he has gone there for fashion shows. His subjects range from fashion celebrities like Karl Lagerfeld to unidentified regular people. He has found uniforms[3] and dirty work clothes[4] as well as those trying to display their style. He says his inspiration was a picture of a man on an empty street taken by German photographer August Sander.[5]
Schuman began getting other work from serious fashion publications. Condé Nast tapped him to do something similar during Fashion Week in Paris for its style.com website.[1] He also regularly works events for Saks Fifth Avenue, and says French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld has also talked to him about doing something for her magazine.[1]

So the only way that I know how to explain how much I love this blog is to say that it is the first blog I check when I get to work in the morning. I usually check it before I check my email. It's awesome and as an aspiring photographer (aka wannabe) I'm in awe of his ability to capture the beauty in so many different subjects. He has a natural gift. Here are some of my favorite photos he has taken, which can all be found at The Sartorialist.
There are no words that can do justice to the beauty of these photos, so on that note, I will say goodbye and beg you to take one look at this website--trust me, you'll get hooked. Have a great day!
Love,
Elle Bunny
