When and why did you start your site?
I started blogging through Chictopia in early
2009 and I created my own website in November of 2009. I started blogging about
my personal style because the whole idea of fashion blogging was really
intriguing, so I decided to join the fun. It's been a blast :)
Easy to read and navigate, focuses on affordable
and wearable outfits for work & play, a journal of my personal style.
Where do you get your inspiration?
Definitely from fellow bloggers and my
favorite fashion "it" girls: Olivia Palermo & Miroslava Duma
Who are your style/beauty icons?
Olivia Palermo & Miroslava Duma :)
Describe your personal style.
Wearable, affordable, comfortable
What was the best style/beauty advice you were
given?
Use a face tissue or paper towel to wipe my face
after I wash it.
Where are your favourite places to shop?
High-street stores, such as H&M, ZARA, ALDO.
I like to peruse through Winners as well :)
What are your favourite trends for this season?
Lace on everything and Tangerine Tango on
everything!
Style/Beauty Pet Peeve?
Leggings as pants and barely-there denim
shorts (or any kind of shorts, really!)
What do you never leave home without?
I assume this has to be fashion-related? A great
yet comfortable pair of shoes!
What are your five essential items that you think
every woman should own?
Pleated skirts (mini, midi, maxi, doesn't
matter!), button-down blouses, black tights, leopard accessories (e.g. belts or
scarves), and a pair of not-so-classic black pumps.
Where do you see yourself and your site in five
years?
I would like to have a career in the retail
buying field, so in 5 years, I hope to become a buyer. I would also like to see
my site grow (obviously!), but I don't want it to become too
"commercialized" that I lose touch with my readers and blogger
friends. I started fashion blogging as a hobby and I would like to keep it that
way :)

Pinkbow Icecream
She has a really fun style, it's classic with a quirky twist. Also cool she's from Toronto, I don't seem to come across many Canadian bloggers.
