When and why did you start your site?
I started WithLoveGabrielle.com
more than four years ago while attending University of Toronto. I am a creative
person, and the website was a way to share my creative thoughts on my personal
interests – arts and fashion.
How would you describe your site?
The motto for my website is
“Where Fabulous Meets Every Day”
Where do you get your inspiration?
“Gabrielle” in the name of
my website is an homage to Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel, who is my ultimate style
icon. On a daily basis, my inspirations are always changing, so much to do with
the people I am meeting, cultural and social events, etc.
Who are your style/beauty icons?
Chanel of course, and then
I am also quite fond of Marc Jacobs.
Describe your personal style.
Classic. I definitely enjoy
dressing up, so people are for more likely to see me wearing heels than
sneakers.
What was the best style/beauty advice you
were given?
Be true to your personal
style. I have to say thanks here to my mother Oksana, she is an amazing person
and has taught me so much about being a woman!
Where are your favourite places to shop?
In Toronto, my favorite
shopping centre is Sherway Gardens. I have been fortunate to travel a lot, and
New York, Los Angeles, and Miami Beach are all high on my list of shopping
destinations.
What are your favourite trends for this
season?
Flirty bows on everything,
including my newest purse from Kate Spade that I just got today (so happy!)
Style/Beauty Pet Peeve?
Rain boots... I can’t stand
seeing women wear them as if they are stylish.
What do you never leave home without?
My wallet J In terms of style & beauty, I always make time to do my
make up properly. In terms of clothing, nothing is that critical.
What are your five essential items that
you think every woman should own?
Little Black Dress of
course, classic pumps, cashmere sweater, pencil skirt, white silk blouse.
Where do you see yourself and your site
in five years?
Not really sure. I have had
a lot of amazing opportunities in the past year, and keep getting cool offers
every week. So I am open to wherever my career path goes as the website
continues to grow, and also as I get more offers to be part of ad campaigns and
TV shows.

Her hair is the most gorgeous colour! Re. rain boots--I once thought they were heinous as well, but I've come around to them after more than a few freak rain showers in Vancouver.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it - the colour is stunning!
DeleteAnd, I totally agree about the rain boots. At first I didn't get them, but after a few weeks of dodging puddles and wet feet they are a welcome addition to any West Coasters closet!
Another fabulous profile, Kate! It sounds like Marta and I have a few things in common :) I can't wait to read more on her blog!
