The great and the good of the Irish fashion industry packed into The Mansion House last Thursday to pay tribute to the people who make the most fashion impact.

Very lucky me, I was there to interview Ireland’s most influential bloggers, public choice winners Louise and Una of Glamrocks Luna and industry awards winner Anne Marie Boyhan of What She Wears.

Here, the ladies talk speeches, support and how to start a blog as influential as theirs…

First up, how did you feel when you found out that you’d won an award?

WSW: I was quite shocked, there were so many great nominees, then very flattered. Then I realised I had to make a speech. Someone said they heard my glass crash to the floor when my name was called!
GL: We were overwhelmed by the support we got. We were so nervous accepting the awards but delighted we went and met our fellow bloggers and other talented people from the fashion industry.

Any advice for someone who wants to start their own blog?

GL: We would definitely say first and foremost to always be yourself. Be honest and enjoy what you are doing. Blogging is such a great outlet to talk about your passion, whether that is in music, food or fashion – the list goes on!
WSW: Write what you’re passionate about. If you love the subject it really comes through in your blog. Try to find a niche, which is quite hard because there are loads with fashion blogs, but if you can find yours, you’ll get noticed easily.
