When and why did you start your site?

I started in August of 2009. I like blogging; it’s fun. I’ve also met a lot of great people through my blog, which is the best part of it all.

How would you describe your site?

Right now, my blog has transitioned from being a style blog to more of a personal blog. I still post outfits from time to time, but I also supplement my blog with posts on music that I’m listening to, my random thoughts, and my day-to-day life.

Where do you get your inspiration?

Inspiration is everywhere. Sometimes it’s how a certain song makes me feel. Sometimes it’s the need for bright colours. Ironically, my best outfits are put-together when I’m in a rush and throw on random articles of clothing without a moment’s thought.

Who are your style/beauty icons?

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen.

Describe your personal style.

I wear what I like, but usually my personal style depends on two things: 1) the weather, and 2) my mood.

What was the best style/beauty advice you were given?

Less is more.

Where are your favourite places to shop?

Online: ShopBop

In store: Zara, Club Monaco, Front & Company, OAK + FORT.

What are your favourite trends for this season?

Suede desert boots a la Isabel Marant.

Style/Beauty Pet Peeve?

Poorly fitted clothing and girls who wear leggings as pants.

What do you never leave home without?

My iPhone and lip balm.

What are your five essential items that you think every woman should own?

A classic pair of pumps (in black and nude), a black blazer, a chambray shirt, a well-fitted pair of dark skinny jeans, a knitted infinity scarf, and lots of plain, over-sized t-shirts.

Where do you see yourself and your site in five years?

I could still be blogging, but in five year’s time, a lot can happen, so I’ll have to wait and see ;)
