High ResolutionGot a Girl Crush On: Jen Davis’ self-love photography
Fantasy No. 1,2004. Jen Davis
Jen Davis looks to self-portraiture as a way to deal with her insecurities about her body image. See the stunning work accompanied with an essay by Hannah Frieser here on Flak Photo.
“Davis still uses the camera as a tool to help her understand the world around her. A decade into this project, she finds that her body is changing. As in the past, she continues to photograph through every new circumstance and allows the camera to make sense of it all.”

High ResolutionGot a Girl Crush On: My West-Coast Taste Twin
I (Meg) was in San Fran for a whopping 24 hours before roadtrippin’ down Highway 1 to LA for the week, but snagged some quick girl-time with Andrea at Sightglass coffee in SoMa for a mini girl-crush reunion!
Of course we showed up basically wearing the same outfit—but that’s why this blog gels well from opposite ends of the country. Great sartorial minds think alike ;)

Got a Girl Crush On: Archival photographs of women’s athletics from the University of Chicago
While The Archival Photographic Files of the University of Chicago offer an intriguing, general overview of the college campus in development, we couldn’t help but linger specifically over the section on women’s athletics. More than a just-for-fun slice of “now and then”-style Americana, the images are a reminder that women who defy stereotypes in order to pursue their passions are, more often than not, exactly like you and me: everyday ladies simply doing their thing. And we think that is really, really cool. -
Got a Girl Crush On: A Well Traveled Woman
Part style blog (á la tomboy style—which she’s already been interviewed on), part farmer’s daughter vibes, part DIY attagirl, part hot mama—I cannot get enough of Bekah’s Tumblr, A Well Traveled Woman (and these photos are only from her Instagram!).
Who says you can’t paint your nails if you are likely to get dirt under them and can’t appreciate some sartorial wit when you have a penchant for living off the land?
The city girl in me has major wide-open-spaces-yurt-dreams jealousy going on.

Photographer Shadi Ghadirian was born in 1974 in Tehran, where she lives and works today. Ghadirian studied photography at Azad University, where she encountered some of the earliest works in the history of Iranian photography. These archival images sparked her own work, a series of photographs that capture the private worlds of Iranian women today, caught between eras, between tradition and modernity.
