What and Where

Yesterday's hot topic at #FashionUnfold (hosted by @MissSly on Twitter is - Fashion Magazines vs. Fashion Blogs - who will rule the future? While the responses were varied and the votes were not surprisingly split between the two, it also not surprising that there was a considerable argument in favour of fashion blogs leading the way of the future of fashion.

Let's not discount the fact that most of the participants on Twitter is from the fashion blogging side of the world therefore, the strong sentiment was towards fashion bloggers having a major influence in shaping the fashion of tomorrow. Instead of rehashing the exciting conversation on Twitter, I want to know what you think. Do you think bloggers will have a stronger influence on mainstream fashion in the future or will fashion magazines are here to stay?

On that note of deep contemplation, let me help organize your thoughts by telling you how you can WIN TWO TICKETS to the Ottawa's most-talked about fashion event - the Beauty and Fashion Charity Gala 2011 hosted by Top Pro Make-up Artist: the beautiful Ariana Assadi!
