The only drawback in a world that has infinite access to inspiration is that it can feel overwhelming to know where to start. At LUX, we're often swapping notes about the blogs we love to follow, swoon-worthy Instagram accounts or inspiring podcasts we can't stop thinking about. So this week we wanted to share some of our favourite blogs with you.
Here's our roundup of some blogs that we adore and would love to hear about your favourites too!

LOCAL
The Fashionistas: Edmonton has recently become a hotbed for some pretty amazing Style blogs. As pictured above it's hard not to be impressed by the talent and grace of Vickie from Adventures in Fashion. However we simply couldn't narrow it down to just one local fashion blogger so here's a handful also worth checking out: The Pretty Secrets, Northern Style Exposure, Flannel Foxes and Kastles.
Boots + Cats Our favourite local DIY blogger is our own Katryna who posts her own DIY and beautiful sewing projects weekly. As a bonus there's a healthy dose of kitten inspired work to boot (pun very intended).
Dallas Currow New to YEG, Dallas is a photographer and make up artist, aka a match made in blogger heaven. We're especially in love with her Exploring Edmonton series and extremely honoured to be featured in one in the near future.
Milk Truck Radio Hour This Edmonton produced podcast, by the dashing Luke Thomson (featured in this LUX Style Guide), is 98% music extensively ranging in genre and era. It's the perfect playlist for long road trips and morning commutes.

Local Milk When searching for inspiration on recipes and the art of slow living it's hard not to love Beth Kirby's blog. This Southerner travels the world creating recipes from local goods and truly exemplifies the term 'a curated life'.
The Daybook This lifestyle blog features one momma's life and adventures with her family. Did we mention is chock full of adorable pictures of little ones? You had us at toddler in a puffy blue snowsuit.
Garance Dore This blog was hard to place in a single category because it really features a bit of everything (lifestyle, beauty and fashion) shot with exceptional photography. If you're looking for a guide to Kyoto, behind the scenes photos of NYFW or beauty minutes with models this is the blog for you.
