SELECTIVE QUANTITY
We started with an index of more than 11,000 individually reviewed, recently updated fashion blogs and beauty blogs from around the world to get to the 99 listed below. Some are from first hand knowledge, others were discovered through countless hours of following blogrolls and network publisher listings. All are up to date, and focused primarily on fashion or beauty topics.
QUALIFICATION
With each update, we eliminate abandoned or infrequently updated blogs, crunch data and assign a score representative of general content quality, popularity and buzz using link and social media sharing information. The 99 most influential blogs span multiple categories: from the street and personal style of trendsetters around the world, to breaking fashion news and beauty reviews. We're all about engagement - not just the biggest numbers.

Methodology
 

Digital influence is more than pageviews and visitors: it's what the people who see the pages and visit a site do after that. When people blog about a story they've read for their own audience, or share a photo they loved across social networks, the influence of a site expands.

The Style99 ranks the online influence of fashion and beauty blogs using link data from Google and Majestic SEO for web links, and the Facebook and Twitter APIs for social data. The total score is weighted towards quality of engagement, rather than top level numbers. Social data is based on domain and content sharing activity on various networks, not follower or fan counts. Sites which do not have an official presence on Facebook or Twitter often have measurable levels of activity on those networks even if they do not actively participate on them.

Who's Included?

There are a number of websites with related content - think Loobook.nu or Chictopia. While we think they're great sites, this ranking is focused solely on blogs and websites where fashion or beauty blog posts by an identifiable author or authors are responsible for a significant portion of the content.

Forums, voting and other sites where content is largely community generated are not included. Blogs which are part of larger sites are measured solely on engagement around blog content, rather than for the site as a whole.
