Meet Natasha. A yummy-mumy from northern-B.C. with a knack for DIY projects. Chetwynd may not be the fashion capital of the province, but you wouldn't know it based on the looks that Natasha showcases on her blog. Here she discusses her favourite trends for Spring/Summer, her fashion icons and why you won't catch her in yoga pants.
Name: Natasha
Age: 25
Occupation: Stay-at-Home Mom
When and why did you first start your site?
I had first started my blog in November of '08 when I was first introduced to fashion blogs, but I gave up on it after about 4 posts. A year later I decided to try it up again, and haven't quit since. When I came back to blogging my daughter was two months old, and I wanted a way to keep myself from becoming a frumpy mommy, and ultimately needed a way to stay sane while being at home so much.
How would you describe your site?
It's my personal style blog, so there are lots of outfit posts, and DIY projects.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I read a lot of fashion magazines, and browse a lot of fashion blogs. I'm always studying what people are wearing, always trying to find a way to incorporate things I like into my style.
Who are your style icons?
I love looking back at pictures of Ali McGraw, Sophia Loren and Bridget Bardot. I don't really look to any current "style icons", although I usually love what Diane Kruger and Rachel Bilson are wearing.
Describe your personal style.
Bright and Happy, mixed with Dainty and Feminine, and a touch of classic.
What are some of your favourite trends this season?
Color blocking, monochromatic, dainty florals, lace
Style/Beauty Pet Peeves?
For Style, I get very frustrated when people live in yoga pants, and consider their outfit dressed up when they wear jeans. For Beauty, I really don't like it when people wear way too much make-up, in most cases the person would look WAY better with no make-up at all.
What do you never leave home without?
My daughter....haha...ok thats not totally true. I always have lipchap with me...overly addicted to the stuff!
Where will you be in five years?
I have no idea...still in B.C., and likely not a big city, since my hubby hates them...boo hoo :(
