• Wear so many rings that you are unable to type or hold a pen.
• Have lots of nice clothes and no discernable source of income.
• Always have clean hair. If your hair is not freshly clean, it may also be sexily-disheveled. Bonus points if you can rock the blogger bun.
• Find a hot photographer boyfriend.
• Live somewhere temperate. Weather cannot interfere with your sartorial instincts.
• Be pretty.
• Be thin. Alternatively, be curvy. Spend a lot of time talking about the fact that you are curvy.
• Find other successful fashion blogger friends. Say you met them on the internet. Say they are your style soulmate.
• Wear some kind of unconventional hat.
• Convince the sexy professional photographer boyfriend to propose so that you can plan your wedding on the internet.
• Learn to sew.
