My Fash Diary describes itself as a “style diary.” It considers fashion to be what others decide is in, while style is what you believe is in.

The blog’s editor is Chicago-born, Dubai-based Tala Samman who is of Syrian-heritage. Although the blog’s name indicates the importance of its fashion section, there are posts on beauty, food, and travel, as well as fashion.

The blog has gained international recognition, and has been nominated for Ahlan! Magazine’s Best at the Dubai awards, Marie Claire, UK Blog, and Twitter awards.

Tala has also been recognized in prestigious publications The Guardian, Grazia UK, Grazia Middle East, Harper’s Bazaar Arabia, and Marie Claire Middle East.

Olivia Lopez launched fashion and lifestyle blog, Lust for Life, in 2006. Its tagline states that it is “a design destination for the culturally curious and epicurious.”

Olivia has built up a reputation as an influencer and been featured on Barneys, Teen Vogue, and Elle.

Typical Lust for Life posts include:

• Spring 2018 Wardrobe Essentials
• Summer Style Guide
• Queen of Pop

Unsurprisingly, all of the posts are lavishly illustrated, and Olivia has a robust Instagram presence.
