So if you are following ELLE’s Style Reporter Trevor Stuurman on Twitter you will know that he was not just trending with 140 characters. On Tuesday night the 19-year-old took home the title of ELLE Style Reporter in association with BlackBerry®. He had challenge six on lock-down as he live blogged about ‘Swanky Shweshwe’ (see final challenge here). Here are two things you need to know about our Blog Party:

1. Our winner is very, very cool – and we mean it. Trevor is incredibly smart, talented, creative and well-grounded in his beliefs and upbringing. He is humble and this stands out. He knows where he comes from and knows exactly where he’s going. He dreams big, thinks big and does big. Now watch him go on elle.co.za!

2. Our Blog Party was one to remember. 5FM’s Poppy Ntshongwana got the crowd going at MOAD in Maboneng Precinct. DJ Zinhle was hot on the music – and we mean this too – Jackie doesn’t break it down on the dance floor for nothing! The crowd was amazing – fashion’s best were out to play, from top bloggers to designers, TV presenters and local celebs. The guests who turned up to support our finalists were equally as cool, which is why you should never miss the chance to attend an ELLE event!

This is a one-of-a-kind competition. Find out why by hitting the play button on ELLE TV here:

The ELLE team and party goers arrived on the red carpet safe and sound thanks to Zebra cabs. If you want to get anywhere in Jozi, this is how you get there on time and in style: get cabbing here.

The Blog Party was hot – no, literally. Jo’burg experienced a heatwave, as if this event needed any more heat. Guests kept cool with Brutal Fruit’s refreshing new flavours. Even our sips were stylish – Brutal Fruit looked to this season’s catwalks for inspiration for their latest flavour, Apple Ginger. Try it, it’s spicy ginger and goes down very well!
