Forbes.com sees a trend and takes a look at style bloggers. Usual suspects are named. Kristina Gisors of YourPrivateShopper is pictured above.
High-profile style bloggers are enjoying a newfound fame these days that's particularly timely considering the volatile stock market and tepid economic recovery. It's nice to be able to look up to and imitate women who are shopping their closets, re-working vintage pieces and emulating runway trends on a budget for a change. Women style bloggers write about shopping on eBay, mixing H&M with pricier designers and demonstrate how to take fashion risks. They are the everywoman's style icons.
To be sure, magazines like Lucky and Marie Claire have tried to reach out to a broader audience of women and are now showcasing an eclectic range of styles and prices. Articles in magazines about what to buy for under $100 have become ubiquitous staples during the recession. But style bloggers are offering something different by inviting readers into their lives and demonstrating how fashion can work in real life.
Perhaps the recent success of style bloggers has less to do with giving women a fashion formula and more to do with granting them the permission to dress however they want to. Not to mention the fact that readers are now presented with a multiplicity of viewpoints--not just a handful of fashion magazines. -- [ SOURCE ]
