Fashion and lifestyle bloggers have become a major force in the industry. With strong business ethics rooted in genuine passion, curiosity, and a little tech know-how, they've proven that they are here to stay.

I may not be running in the Boston Marathon this coming Monday (or, ever...) but I can definitely suit up in my finest workout gear for some oh-so-satisfying exercise (and city-gazing) around my neighborhood in the meantime.

DEE OCLEPPO HILFIGER has led many lives. Now, the Rhode Island native is back in the US, married to Tommy Hilfiger, raising another young son, and heading a handbag brand that has already been picked up by Saks Fifth Avenue, Harrods, Hudson Bay and Galeries Lafayette in its first year on the market.

The art world seems to be trending backwards these days. Perhaps that's why the unapologetically high-energy work of artist Sarah Russell is so damn exhilarating.

I channeled Margot Tenenbaum's style for this quintessentially Spring look from LOFT - a crisp white shirtdress and an equally crisp army jacket in olive. A flowery fabric headband added just a tiny bit of color to the otherwise muted palette, which also included a gray belt and matching sneakers.

In vino veritas. In cervesio felicitas. And (as far as I'm concerned) in cocktails, rebirth. Since I've expanded my repertoire to include spirits, in my brief but noble quest to find my signature drink I've gravitated toward ginger-centric libations. (The logic behind this? Ginger makes it virtually hangover-proof.)

Even though the name sounds breezy, Flywheel is hard. It's dark, and loud, and competitive, and the only person that knows if you're coasting along or actually pushing yourself is - you guessed it - you. And it's one of the best workouts you'll have.

You know what's not cute? Plodding through the airport in ratty sweatpants. We've all seen it, and some of us (ahem) have done it. (Hey, it was an early flight!) But you don't need to tell that to Dorian Lightbown, NIC+ZOE founder and CEO, who designs for jet-setting cool girls.

One of Boston's best bag designers just so happens to also be one of Boston's best interior designers. Meichi Peng has been doing it all for over a decade now, from her perch in Boston's arts-centric SoWa.

There are so few places in Boston where you can get a Tom Ford makeover, drink a Damascus Date smoothie, shop and shop some more, and then eat yaki soba, all without ever having to face the rain, snow, wind, or extreme heat of any given day in Beantown. (As if!)

It's the only "Shades of something" that's actually worth seeing...Boston Ballet's Shades of Sound opened last week, presenting Chroma, Episodes, and Black Cake along with one of the largest orchestras that the Boston Opera House has had in its history.

Between winter storms and winter sales, the Reed Krakoff concession inside Saks Fifth Avenue at the Prudential Center quietly packed up its iconic Boxer Bags on January 30th, after three years in the space.

I'm so thrilled about a fresh start (hey, my name does mean "Reborn") but I can't leave behind all my favorite outfits. 

The beautiful beaches of Islamorada, a stunning key between Key Largo and Key West, made for a perfect backdrop to take some pieces from 424 Fifth's Spring 2015 collection out for a spin in the sand. 

While most of us bloggers are on the daily 9-5 grind, Chiara Ferragni, the 27-year-old Italian fashion and lifestyle blogger behind TheBlondeSalad.com, has been criss-crossing the globe, turning her blog into an international brand.

Looking good takes work. And serum. Lots and lots of serum. And, lip oil. That's a thing now, and it's pretty game-changing. Get the step-by-step, after the jump.

Inez van Lansweerde and Vinoodh Matadin guest edited the fashion issue of Aperture's newly revived magazine, and what the Dutch photography duo and fashion/art/advertising crossovers curated is a beautiful Ode to Mode that is as multi-tasking as they are. 

Click bait is a reality of modern media geared towards young people - particularly young women. But a bait-and-switch - or the promise of an article the facts of which are not yet confirmed - is pretty low. 

East-meets-West is the most overused cliché when it comes to Turkey, but when attempting to describe the country - and Istanbul, a city that refuses to be defined - it’s often glaringly relevant.

The organisers of New York Fashion Week aim to clean up an event that “has been swarmed with fashion bloggers, street-style photographers and fashion fans.” But bloggers — fashion’s resident outsiders — have a lot to bring to the table.
