I Dont know if it has something to do with me spending the last two years living and travelling around Asia but my feeling is that girls with East-Asian heritage are taking over the fashion blog world. The girls above are my favourite bloggers of this kind. Most of them were raised outside of Asia but they all have their East-Asian heritage in common (and being ultra cool and blogging about it). When I say bloggers I really mean Instagrammes because I am actually very lazy reading blogs myself (and there we have the reason why my own blog is so low key, you reap what you saw and all that). I find it much more convenient and less time consuming to get the scoop by scrolling Instagram, and in case I want more details I will head over to the real blog. Instagram posting is the new blogging if you ask me.

The petite frame, great skin and thick hair that comes with their Asian roots definitely helps with being so photogenic and fabulous. But more importantly all the ladies above and many others are very stylish, talented and productive multitaskers. I have my ideas for why they are equipped with  these supreme skills. Firstly I have found out after living in China that East Asians (especially Chinese) are in general fearless people (and sometimes plain shameless) hence not afraid to be the centre of the attention and to stand out. You also have to work very hard in Asia to stand out because of the high competition due to the masses. Also it´s very common that south Asian girls don't drink alcohol or do much partying and that naturally results in better better skin, looks and figure and last but not least much more time because they don't waste any time on being hangover! That said I think I just found out the secret behind posting on your blog everyday, change over to non-alcoholic beverages. That´s easier said than done for an Icelander with serious party genes.
