I don't imagine that Draco is the type to apologise to someone unless he really knows them well, but I'm sure that the gesture was a way of making it clear that he meant no harm by carrying on with Blaise in your journal. Oh, and I did tell him that you liked fashion, but didn't get a chance to talk about it much with some of your other friends. It's too bad Lovegood wasn't able to help you out, but maybe she lost track of the latest issue and didn't want to disappoint you.
I think the essay looks very good! One thing you might want to do is make it clear that you read their magazine, and that you look to the pages of Purest Sparkle for fashion inspiration. For example, you could specifically mention being inspired by that spread they did last month, with the robes by...oh, who was it? Petit La Roux, I think? Oh, and to make yourself look very fashion forward, you might tell them that you love the word of Gerard Joosh, or one of those other grown-up designers that appear in Tribea and the like. Gerard Joosh only does couture for people like Mrs Malfoy, of course, but I think it would look good if you make it clear you're familiar with the best of the best. If you make those changes I think you'll really have an edge over everyone else who enters!
Oh, and...well, I'm not sure it's my place to tell you this, but I think you deserve to know that your brother Ron is not happy with Draco and is somehow convinced that both he and Blaise are trying to hurt you. He wrote both Draco and Blaise a rather intimidating private message, warning them to back off.
I don't want to cause trouble between you and your brother, but it seems he could have asked you about if first before losing his temper with Draco and Blaise.
