We live in a world obsessed with the idea of fashion and beauty. Add to it the pressure of movies & the Internet, and consumers forever find themselves under stress to crack that perfect look and style for every occasion. And in this mad rush of perfect styling and global appeal, we often forget to explore avenues closer home. In this case, across the border!
When it comes to fashion bloggers, we’re a sucker for all elements vibrant, stylish and fun. So, we thought why not go ‘sarhad paar’ and see what’s chic in Pakistan. Here’s a list of the hottest Pakistani fashion bloggers who can totally give you fashion goals.
