We track down the latest crop of cyber It Chicks of tomorrow. By Kelley Hoffman
Everyday, more and more inspiring sites keep popping up across the globe. While many of the better-known stars started their blogs with only fashion as a hobby, we're seeing more and more international blogs penned by ladies with a foot already firmly in the door. This makes us think two things: 1) The style blogger phenomenon is no passing trend, and 2) Damn, we really wish we knew at least one Scandinavian language! While we'd be curious to see what inspired the return of Timberland-style boots or sequined bicycle shorts, we're even more excited to track the fresh shots of what's to come from our four new favorite bloggers.
