Best fashion blogs of the moment? I'm not interested in being informed of what's in style at the moment, I just want to look at some cool outfits: Male, female or in-between, from any place.
Bonus points for:
Bonus points for:
- Non-American or Western; cool Japanese or hijab stuff is neat. Foreign language is fine since I'm mostly just looking at pictures. Descriptions and/or links to where the stuff came from are neat but not necessary.
- Shapes, skin color and/or gender that aren't the typical runway look. There are a lot more ladyshapes than the standard runway model one and I'm interested in seeing them too. Lesbian, gay, genderqueer, feminist etc fashion would be neat!
- Blogs that link to where the stuff came from. Not necessary but cool.

Might be old news to you but I love hel-looks for not-runway, not-American street fashion. (Helsinki, in this case.)

I second Advanced Style!
One of my favorite blogs of all time is this quiet little tumblr that only updates a couple times a week and has the most darling and perfect little things, and it's called Cute and Comfortable. She always links to things which is amazing! It is sooo sad to find good blogs that don't link to the awesome stuff. :(
I used to follow a whole bunch of fashion blogs. *Already Pretty*, Dress With Courage, Japanese Streets, F Yeah Lolita (Specific Japanese Fashion), and Oh Yeah Mori Girl(Forest Girl, another specific Japanese fashion) might be of interest to you. Already Pretty links to tons of cool blogs in her weekly links. Mori Girl stuff is hard to find online, so I can give you more links if that one doesn't do it for ya.
Also not directly related to fashion are *Medical Marzipan* and Dances with Fat both of which you may like. Good luck with your fashion-blog searching!

I'm partial to What Would a Nerd Wear. She posts outfit shots with a "works cited" that lists where the items came from, with links if applicable.

Threadbare's list of queer style blogs might offer some good options.
Fashion. Grunge. Style. is one of my favorites, for a mix of new editorial photo shoots and lots of grunge-y shots as well - YMMV, of course.
The Locals is a Copenhagen street style blog I like a lot.
Cartoon Heart may be moving away from her style blog focus, but I love her punk-ish aesthetic.
