While you cannot entirely escape the blasé drudgery that is this time of year in Burlington, you can put your ubiquitously present laptop to good use.
Don't be ashamed of the fact that you are on your computer 21 out of the 24 hours in a day, we all turn to that friendly little crutch in moments of - well, all the time.
But, what exactly do you do when you are bored of TextTwist, Facebook stalking and you've even read the NYTimes obituaries? I turn to fashion.
More specifically, I turn to fashion blogs.
"BLOGS?" you say aloud?
"NERD!" you think to yourself.
Ok, that may be. I may be a nerd because I religiously follow two or three blogs. But, it passes the time in a very visually pleasing manner (and it's less work than reading the news).
Not only do these pictures provide me with color and visual stimulation (desperately needed as an alternative to staring out the window at ice, slush, brown mud and grey snow), but they provide inspiration.
It is undeniable that Burlington is a cool place.
Equally undeniable is the fact that Burlington is not the most fashion-forward place on this earth.
So, these blogs keep me in touch with the blossoming world of fashion in other hotspots.
Allow me to avail you of the wonders of fashion blogging. I have taken it upon myself to waste hours of my time to bring you the hippest, hottest, most-inspiring blogs in the blogosphere.
The best text-based fashion blogs I have read come from Glamour Magazine.
You know those funny pages in magazines that say: Check this on your website? Well, I actually finally did check out the Glamour website, and have been happily surprised at the blogs.
Slaves to Fashion, written by Jenny Feldman, is a great window into the world of fashion magazines, offering tips, collecting comments from readers, and providing a forum for everyday fashion chit-chat.
My favorite photo-based blog of all time is http://www.thesartorialist.blogspot.com.
