“Fashion Blogger”. It’s a common 21st century term that is generally used to describe a person who shares fashion, beauty, lifestyle and street style tips with readers and subscribers. A fashion blogger is also someone who has a certain influence on the fashion scene, most commonly through social media accounts such as Instagram and Facebook – we’re sure that there are a couple of names that came to your mind right now. Take Chiara Ferragni for instance; the Italian blonde built a multi-million dollar empire with a simple blog, which quickly escalated into a vastly followed Instagram account. And Negin Mirsalehi? The caramel-haired beauty took her good looks and enviable wardrobe to extremes as she portrayed a whole new vision of fashion.

That said, an influencer’s worth generally stems from the amount of followers they have, and most importantly, their quality. And truth to be told, being an “it-girl” is not as easy as it may seem. Not only do you – as an influencer – have an image to uphold, but you also have to eradicate the little privacy you still had and share your everyday moves with the whole world – sigh. But hey, isn’t fame and fortune worth it?

Whether you’re interested in said fame and fortune or you’re just a freak of fashion and want to look like a fashion blogger, we’ve rounded up a few tips and tricks to get you to Blogger-town. You’re welcome.

  1. Dress like you’ve never worn your clothes before. Okay, it’s an abstract statement, but what we mean to say is that your attitude plays a huge role in the whole styling process. Own your outfit!.
  2. On a more concrete note, mix unexpected pieces together to create the unexpected. For instance, mix a leopard coat with leather trousers, or a hound’s-tooth jacket with a vinyl skirt, and so forth.
  3. Use one statement piece and let it lead your allure. Said piece can be anything, from metallic boots to a big shopper bag, a lavish headpiece or a shiny jacket. If it’s loud, it’s there.
  4. Sunglasses are key. You could be waking up from a massive headache and no one will ever know if you sport the right pair of sunnies.
  5. You don’t have to wear your jacket. Just drape it over your shoulders and pair it with a Queen attitude and you’re golden.
  6. Hats go hand in hand with your attitude. Just pick the hat of your choice, display your confidence and be ready to take on the world of fashion.
