Leandra Medine, a New York-based journalist, launched her blog in 2010. With approximately 3.7 million monthly views, a thriving marketing business and increasing sponsorships, she undoubtedly dominates the cyber fashion world. Since starting her blog, Medine has collaborated on films with the renowned designer Michale Kors and Simon Doonan, the Creative Ambassador-at-Large at Barneys New York. The global trendsetter's blog space boasts her insane closet, and is amazing for practical styling inspiration, as well as crafty tips and tricks. Leandra Medine previously discussed creating Man Repeller:
"My blog started as a simple 'would this repel men or not?' Now, it's more about questioning whether or not what I'm featuring is aesthetically pleasing and wearable art. Initially, I wasn't the man-repeller; I was just making the observations. Over time, I started putting images of myself on the site, created a persona. It has expanded from just women's fashion being repulsive to men to women consciously dressing for themselves and almost hoping that they will in fact achieve man-repeller status."
Created by Erin Kleinberg and Stephanie Mark, the blog-turned-brand is all about the exclusive, luxury content.

Bryan Grey Yambao hails from the Philippines, but calls New York City home. He started blogging at age 24 from his parents' Manila home, and his fashion and lifestyle blog is known for its "witty and often bitchy commentary." Yambao has been featured on the panel of Cycle 19 America's Next Top Model, Season 19, as the social media correspondent, and currently has 504,000+ followers on Twitter. Also, he was the first to make a real living out of fashion blogging. Marc Jacobs even named a handbag after him, called the BB ostrich bag, after the blogger posted the designer mimicing his signature pose (standing with hips thrust to one side and a handbag in an outstretched arm) on Bryanboy.
After failing at Internet start-ups and publishing a chick-lit novel, Phil Oh finally found something he was great at: he started his photographic street fashion blog. Street Peeper strolls readers through the streets of the major cities, including New York, London, Paris, Berlin, Tokyo, and more, filled with beautiful people with their unique street style. Oh now contributes to American Vogue.com and works on advertising campaigns. Here's what he said about his blog:
"When I started, there weren't a lot of street-style blogs. I thought it would be fun to go around taking pictures of people I viewed as looking cool. Now, my blog is my work and I've also been commissioned through it. These days, I cover a lot more fashion weeks. There are so many blogs out there all attempting to do similar things, so I suppose what differentiates mine is simply my personal point of view. I like a lot of color, print and pattern when done well, which is rare. I don't really look for a particular designer or trend, I just take pictures of things that I like."
This 22-year-old has quite a fascinating style and evidently adores fashion. Jane Aldridge started her blog, which is full of oldie looks, back in 2007. Living with her parents in Dallas and staying far away from the fashion week rushes, she continues to go against blogger trends. However, Sea of Shoes attracts over million monthly views, and is still one of favorite online voices. Being famous, Aldridge sometimes faces criticism, judging her as an air-headed mean girl.
"There is too much negativity out there," she fired back on her blog. "You can portray me as frivolous all day long but I'll take frivolous over nasty any day."
