So, we’re getting ever closer to the end of our second annual Next Big Style Blogger Contest, and the stakes keep rising. After seeing how our battling beauties squeeze style out of $100, rock one piece in a closet full of looks, and recreate a runway beauty look for you ever-so-discerning readers, we’ve asked them to offer up some fresh, informative fashion reportage.
Discovering and breaking news about the latest trends, designers, brands, and boutiques is the core of Refinery29 (as you well know), and we’re demanding the same from our contest candidates. So, click over to our contest page, check out their reports from fashion’s front lines, and decide for yourself which of our final five pushing for the prize has the best blogging skills and nose for style news.
