Are the personal style bloggers the new fashion icons?

i am a fashion blogger & im certainly no icon.
I cannot compare myself to any other blogger - I hate cloggs, only own a few (old)Designer pieces, don’t go shopping every week & no – one will gasp at the way I have matched up a very ‘erin wasson’ outfit.
Im not groundbreaking , nor can I pair my H&M dress with my new Miu Miu heels.

Some bloggers I do like to read, but I would not try to be like any of them. Im perfectly happy being just me

I think even if we don't wish them to be "icons" some of them are! A couple are recognized by big name stores, (Forever 21 & Charlotte Russe) not high-end I know, but they must be doing something right!

And then...there are the ones that no one cares what they wear and it's just a boost of self-esteem they're looking for..
