When and why did you start your site?
I started my site in June
2010. I was reading so many style/fashion blogs and wanted to become part of
the community. I had already been testing out posting photos on Chictopia and
was having so much fun, that I decided to start my own style blog.
How would you describe your site?
I would describe my site as a personal style blog
that also documents my life in Calgary, and the occasional event and weekend
getaway.
Where do you get your inspiration?
I get my inspiration
from everywhere. Family, friends, magazines, TV, people watching, and blogs.
Who are your style/beauty icons?
I don’t really have any
style/beauty icons, but in the fashion Industry I really admire Ben
Barry and Coco Rocha.
They are both Canadian and both speak out about body image, eating disorders,
and changing beauty ideals which are some of the topics in psychology that I am
passionate about.
Describe your personal style.
This is always such a hard question for
me. I don’t like to label my style because I like to have the flexibility to
change and try new things, but I’m definitely drawn towards more feminine
looks.
What was the best style/beauty advice you were
given?
Dress for your body,
and don’t stress about following ALL the trends, just pick and choose the ones
that work for you and your style.
Where are your favourite places to shop?
I’m a fan of boutiques,
Joe Fresh, Aritzia, Winners, H&M, Forever21, Zara, Club Monaco, Aldo, The
Bay, Value Village and other thrift stores. I like trying clothes on before I
buy them so I don’t often shop online, but I’d like to start exploring online
shops more.
What do you never leave home without?
My iPhone, wallet, and
lip gloss/lip balm
What are your five essential items that you think
every woman should own?
Black pumps, fun
coloured heels, dressy yet functional jacket, blazer, white blouse.
What's on your nightstand?
A photo album, iPhone
charger, and a novel.
