When and why did you start your site? 

I started just over a year and a half ago. As for the reason to starting the blog?! I really wanted to have a little place on the internet where I could post outfits, blog about my married adventures, and my day-to-day inspirations + be a part of the amazing community! It’s been such a fun experience. I'm so thrilled I started the “Girl & Closet” blog. 

How would you describe your site? 

Well, it seems to constantly evolve. I post a lot about fashion, but I also love to post about personal things... like my weekend adventures that I take with my hubby, and I hope to start sharing more recipes and healthy eating tips too.

Where do you get your inspiration? 

I love people watching, going to art shows, concerts, and being around other creative people - that definitely helps me get inspired! And, I love the blogging community too, there is always so much to inspiration. 

Who are your style/beauty icons? 

I love all things J.Crew + Madewell, Zooey Deschanel, Gwyneth Paltrow and I always pick up the latest issue of Lucky magazine. 

Describe your personal style. 

At the moment, I seem to be reaching for more classic looks. I’m loving statement jewelry and layered bracelets, trench coats, stripes, over-sized scarves, and whiskey hued leather bags. 

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

Be who you want to be... don’t worry about fashion, just love & feel comfortable in your own skin. Words to live by, for sure!

Where are your favourite places to shop? 

ShopRuche, Modcloth, J.Crew, Madewell, Gap, Zara, H&M, and vintage. I adore scouring thrift shops on the weekend too!  

What are your favourite trends for this season? 

Bold prints, chocolate & burgundy hues, texture, booties, cable tights, and pea-coats.  

Style/Beauty Pet Peeve? 

Too much make-up. It just never looks good! 

What do you never leave home without? 

Falsies, Maybelline mascara and my sunglasses.

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

A great pair of heels, a classic dress that you always feel fantastic in, a trench-coat, a beautiful leather bag, and a statement necklace.

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

I absolutely plan on blogging still. My husband and I are trying for a family, so I'm sure that will bring change as well as cause the blog to evolve. But I love that a blog can grow with you - that's kind of my favourite part.

What's on your nightstand? 

My IPhone, lip balm, random notes, and my jewelry dish. 

Tell Petite Adventures readers something random about yourself.

 I have to eat cookies before I go to bed every night - it’s a problem! Haha.
