This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at U Maine chapter.

 

Blogging
.  In our middle school years, this term may have referred to our online Xanga journal; our sanctuary for venting about everything from our horrifying school dance experiences to the excitement of your first Limited Too bra. 
 
Today, the phenomenon of fashion blogging has taken the world of fashion by storm.   Fashion blogs have become a vital life source to the world of fashion as it gives fashion lovers an outlet to express their individual style while sharing ideas with others. 
 
With fashion blogging hitting mainstream media in recent years, many designers see this blogging sensation as a means of promoting their lines and relating to their fans.  This has opened many doors to employment opportunities in the fashion industry for fashion writers and bloggers. 
 

“These days, to have one finger on the fashion pulse, you need to have the other one on your computer mouse, reading (or writing) the latest blogs.” –Karen Kay
