This past Sunday, the San Francisco Chronicle featured, four of the the city by the bay’s rising fashion influences (and yes, two of them were from WWDMAGIC & Teen Vogue’s collaboration last month in Las Vegas).

The article featured Ashley Gustafson (a contributor to FashionablyMarketing.Me and author of FashionablyAshley.com)  and Jennifer Margolin (a stylist that any professional woman over 30 years should know and use, as I do).

Bay Area Bloggers Band Together

San Francisco is getting fashionably chic. Gustafson and several local San Francisco bloggers are teaming up to form a Bay Area fashion group known as Digitally Chic. “I definitely feel San Francisco doesn’t get the attention of New York and L.A.,” Gustafson told Ellen Lee. “I hope it brings more awareness to the fashion community in San Francisco.”

Fashion Blogs Are A Vital Component Of Business

Jennifer Marogolin told the Chronicle that her blog and business now go hand in hand. Her blog offers fashion advice, much of it directed at San Francisco’s career-minded women. Being a blogger isn’t a singular venture anymore; Margolin is one of many independent, entrepreneurial business professionals that have realized that their blogs are online business tools and can be used to build their businesses and personal brands.
