We just got back from Lucky’s Fashion and Beauty Blog (FABB) conference where we got to hang out with some of the world’s most influential style bloggers. These ladies are known in the blogosphere for their impeccable taste, but we admire them just as much for their business savvy—they’ve built massive followings online, plus they have huge networks in real life, too.
We caught up with a few of our favorite bloggers and asked them to divulge their secrets for successful networking. (And, of course, we checked out their looks, too!)

Her Networking Tip: “Follow-up, follow-up, follow-up! Trading business cards at an event is just the first step—the real value comes in the relationships you build afterwards. I’d recommend contacting people every month or two to stay in touch: invite them to other events that you think they’d find interesting, share a relevant article or link, or even just say ‘hi.’ You’ll be amazed how much your network can grow!”
Her Look: Cubicle Chic loves animal prints! (Remember our snakeskin post?) Props to Kendra for taking the trend all the way with a beautiful dress!
