When and why did you start your site?

I started my site in March of 2010. I had been reading fashion & personal style blogs for years and just thought it looked like so much fun! I spent so much time emailing links to my friends and saving images to folders on my desktop that it just made sense to start a blog! I was very nervous about it though, and didn’t tell anyone about it for the first few months! 

How would you describe your site?

My site is simply just a collection of things that I love and things that inspire me! I feature outfit photos, trends, wishlists, and random goodies I’m lusting over! 

Where do you get your inspiration?

Primarily from other bloggers! I follow a lot of blogs and that acts as a daily source of inspiration for me! 

Who are your style/beauty icons?

My style icon is Blair from the blog Atlantic Pacific! She has the most incredible style!  I also really admire Olivia Palermo and Rachel Bilson, and often swoon over what the ladies on Gossip Girl are wearing!

Describe your personal style.

I would describe my style as simple, classic and very feminine! I tend to be drawn to things that are girlie & pretty! 

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

Hmm, I’m not really sure. I do believe that it’s important to know that you don’t have to follow every trend going - pick & choose what works for your body and own personal style! 

Where are your favourite places to shop?

I tend to do most of my shopping in person at H&M, Envy, Joe Fresh, Winners, and a local boutique called Je Suis Prest. I also love Zara, but we don’t have one where I live! Online I adore Shopbop and ASOS!

What are your favourite trends for this season?

There are so many trends I am loving this season! Mostly it revolves around color - I’m obsessed with burgundy/bordeaux paired with black, gold and leopard print! I am also loving forest green, as well as camel paired with gray! I plan on wearing a lot of loose fitting blouses, sweater dresses and booties this fall, and am big on polkadots, too! 

Style/Beauty Pet Peeve?

Jeffrey Campbell Lita’s and flatforms! And going back to what I said earlier, wearing trends that just don’t work for you! 

What do you never leave home without?

I’m fairly simple... as long as I have my bank card & my iphone, I’m good to go! 

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

Oh gosh, this is tough. A day dress you feel great in and can wear anywhere. A really great fitting pair of jeans. A pair of GORGEOUS shoes you love and don’t have to save for special occasions. A favorite go-to nail polish. And good quality black opaque tights.

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

I honestly have no idea! As a lady in my (very) late twenties, it’s hard to say what will happen in my life over the next 5 years, let alone with my blog! I’ll just keep trying to grow and improve and see where it takes me!
