Tumblr has inevitably become the go-to microblogging platform for the on-the-go sartorial set. With the ability to share virtually anything from anywhere, connecting with a social media savvy audience has never been easier. And ever since Tumblr's new fashion director, Rich Tong, sent 20 bloggers to NYFW, the fashion industry has recognized that creating a Tumblr account is an absolute must if they're looking to gain more digital presence this year. The result? A slew of new tumblogs from all of our favorite magazines, designers, and influencers. And we know what a major pain it can be to track them all down, so we've created a convenient little directory just for you.

In an age when a new fashion blogger is born every hour, the pioneers of this phenomenon remain a tight-knit group. This group encompasses a collection of figures that are now referred to on a one-name basis, rather than by the blogs that got them there: Rumi, Bryan, Susie, and Tavi, to name a few. They've been featured in more editorials and campaigns than your average emerging celebrity and have an army of loyal followers that big businesses attempt to tap into on the daily by offering them free clothes, giveaways for contests, and money for ad space. These are the Superbloggers. And while every new and known blogger is on Bloglovin', the popular blog-reading filter with open registration, a new hub has emerged just for the Rumis and Bryans of the world. Meet NOWMANIFEST.

For reasons I'm still not sure I really grasp, big brands have been really slow to adopt Tumblr. Not just media brands (present company excepted), but regular consumer brands that otherwise can't get their pants off fast enough for Facebook, Twitter, or Foursquare have been a little skittish around the general anarchy and bloggy generalities of Tumblr. Well, who else would lead the charge into this uncharted territory but ... Ann Taylor?

When news broke that H&M was teaming up with a fashion blogger to design a capsule collection, everyone in the blogosphere lost their minds. Up until then, the cool kid of fast-fashion had only collaborated with established designers like Lanvin and Sonia Rykiel to create limited edition wares, so for a mere fashion enthusiast to land such a coveted with the brand was unheard of. But the Swedish company didn't just select anyone for the gig -- they tapped Elin Kling, their country's top fashion personality and blogger behind Style by Kling. The 11-piece collection (featuring the showstopping dress above and more here) is set to launch in Sweden at select stores this week, which means all of us stateside will have to rely on eBay to score any of it. And while there's no doubt that H&M made the right pick, just who is this international fashion phenom that we're dubbing the Chosen One?

Crazy + Sexy + Cool = Betsey Johnson! These are the 3 words I would describe Betsey Johnson. Of all the shows I have attended for Fashion week, this was definitely the most crowded of all. I rushed through the lines hoping I wasn’t late. As I get close to the theatre, I see what is supposed to be 5 long lines of people waiting to get in. Except the lines, were all jumbled together with everyone anxious to get it. I assumed the people waiting in line where on the waiting list and don’t have seat numbers. Boy, was I wrong! The check-in attendants needed to wait for the crowd already checked in to get settled. Eventually, I made my way inside and got my seat on the fourth row. As I look around, I see tons of photographers on my left and in the middle of the runway interviewing Ciara, Kelly Osborne and a few other celebrities attending the show. The fashion show started with a big bang. I see girls riding skater boards on the runway, others dancing, and most of the models flirting and blowing kisses to the audience. image I also feel the American pride displayed by models in soldiers’ outfits and shoes with the flag colors saluting the audience. image It was very hard to pick a favorite outfit for the night but one that has really stood out in my mind is the fiery orange gown worn by an Asian model with long striped (orange and black) socks and long heels. The layered gown was short in the front and long in the back, and as the model sashed her way along the stage, this dress exhumed a sexy aura mixed with feistiness. image I simply fell in love with this dress as I’m sure any fashionably flirty woman would ;-) The show ended with Betsey being….well…Betsey. With Betsey, you must learn how to expect the unexpected. She rides a bike right through the runway, and then in the middle of the runway, she gets off the bike and dances her way through the end of the runway. She lays flat on the runway for at least a good five minutes as photographers snapped away. Dear Betsey, I can only imagine how long and hard you worked on this fashion show, so go on ahead! Claim that runway. If you want to take a longer nap, I’m with you!

Designers John Varvatos and Roberto Cavalli have started blogging -- although, sadly, not together. The former, a notorious audiophile (who has enlisted everyone from Iggy Pop to Dave Navarro to star in his fashion ad campaigns), has, appropriately, launched a music blog. Called JVS' Funhouse, the hodgepodge of coverage includes photos from backstage at Varvatos' recent menswear runway show and images from Guns 'N Roses' performance at the Varvatos store this past Fashion Week. As it evolves, expect "a music centric blog highlighting the designer's trips to concerts, festivals, parties and backstage jam sessions around the world," says Antimusic. Also included: posts to Varvatos' monthly show on SIRIUS XM's Faction channel called Born In Detroit, an homage to the designer's hometown.

Come up with an idea. It's doesn't matter what the idea is. In fact we should assume you already have an idea, or else this would be "How to Come Up with a Fucking Idea for a Blog Post." If you really don't have an idea yet, go to Google Trends or Digg or your friend's Twitter or the corner bodega and find out what's "trending." ¿Qué es la tendencia en este momento? you will say to the bodega guy after using Google Translate, and he will check his Tweetdeck to oblige you and find out because you are a racist. Or just steal someone else's idea and alter it slightly. That works, especially if you're an asshole. You are "advancing the story," or "riffing on the theme" or "tweaking the meme," not "ripping them off." Look how many helpful tools I just name-checked for you already. These will all help you "write." You will need these tools and plenty more advice because you are a derivative turd.

Because we can't write about Los Angeles community radio station KCRW enough, we thought we'd give them even more press than they've already gotten from the Blackbook family. The station's DJs and talk-show talent have launched a new blog that's actually quite cute and useful -- it's called 5ive Things.
