Questions & Answers, Part Un
As promised, here is the first part of the Questions & Answers. Hope you enjoy!
Q: If you could trade lives with anyone from anytime, who would it be?
A: This was definitely the most difficult question to answer. There are so many people that I admire and who I look up to, but the more I came to think about it, there was always something in their lives that wasn't perfect. But then again, perfect is plain and boring. It's the flaws that make you interesting and exciting. After much thought though, I chose Carine Roitfeld, Editor-in-Chief of the French edition of Vogue. The reason why I chose her is because she has achieved her dream, which is something to admire deeply. She works hard and she is great at what she does. Carine Roitfeld carries herself with such grace, elegance and respect, and she is such a fascinating woman. I also admire that she has been together with her husband for over thirty years, and that she has raised two beautiful, talented and independent children. I'd trade lives with her anyday!
Q: What made you start a blog and continue updating it?
A: To be honest, I just started this blog one day I was bored. It's not a very fabulous explanation, but it's the truth. I'd been reading a few blogs for a while, and I thought it looked like fun and interesting to have my own blog. And I love writing about fashion, and being in this cosy blogging community we have together so that's why I keep updating.
Q: Do you ever get sick of blogging?
A: No, I don't really get sick of blogging. There are days when I'm in the "no-posting" mood and there are days when I just don't have the time for it, but that doesn't have anything to do with me being sick of the blog. I really do love blogging so I don't think I'll get sick of it any time soon anyway!
Q: How much time do you spend on your blog and other blogs?
A: It varies a lot from day to day. Whenever I post it depends on the length, but in general I use about half an hour on a post. I really like to visit all of your blogs and read your posts, and I have to use this opportunity to say that so many of you are very talented in what you do! Some days I get to spend a lot of time on other blogs, other days I just don't have the time. But I think that I spend more time on all of your blogs than I do on my own haha!
Q: What is your favourite fragrance?
A: It has to be 212 Sexy by Carolina Herrera. I have been wearing it for ages, and it has kind of become my signature scent. I've stuck with it for so long because I've never received so many compliments for how I smell before I started using it. I also really love Be Delicious by DKNY and a few Vera Wang fragrances.
Q: What's your bag and what's in it?
A: I'm one of those girls who drool over designer bags, but who feel that they can't splurge on one. Though I have promised myself that one day I am going to treat myself to a Chanel 2.55 bag. I always keep changing bags, but right now I'm using a large black bag with stud detailing that I got from a thrift store. I try to keep my bag organized though I fail most of the time. I always have my mobile, wallet, ipod and camera with me. They are essentials. I usually carry the newest edition of Paris Vogue around with me. I treat it like a Bible haha! And I have a book in my bag just in case I've got nothing to do when I'm out, though this is never the case. So really, I'm just using up a lot of bag space, but I never learn. Right now I'm reading Norwegian Wood by Haruki Murakami. Also, I bring make-up, perfume and a notebook with me.
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: I'm one of those girls who can't get enough of basics. Plain t-shirts, blazers in different colours, jeans etc. are pieces of clothing that I never feel I can get enough of. So my style is pretty much based around simple and versatile pieces, but I love to add an element of surprise and something slightly unexpected to my outfits. Also, many of my friends say that I dress too formal at times..like I'm going to a fashion show or a party or something, but I love wearing pretty clothes. And why not treat every day like it's a party, eh? Life gets so much more fun that way.
Q: Is your style very eccentric or really simple?
A: I'd say it lies somewhere in between. As mentioned in the answer above, I tend to wear a lot of basics, but I love to add a piece that really pops out and makes the outfit interesting.
Q: Where do you want to live when you're older?
A: Definitely Paris! I love that city, and to be able to live there would be a dream come true. I'd like to live in New York too, though I've never actually been there so I can't say for certain that I would like to live there yet. I think it must be because of all the Sex & The City episodes that I've watched over and over (and over and over) again. I'm in love with how they've portrayed the city! I'd also like to live in Italy. I guess I'll have to get a career where I get the opportunity to travel a lot!
Q: How old are you?
A: I am 19 years old.
Q: Do you work with anything dealing with fashion?
A: No, I don't work with anything dealing with fashion. Not yet anyway, but I'd love to someday though. I have always wanted to work with something fashion related. So hopefully my dream will come true one day!
Q: Have you always been a writer/fashionista?
A: I have always loved to write. It's how I survive (without sounding too dramatic!) I have been writing for as long as I can remember, and I don't think I'll ever stop. As for being a fashionista, yes I think I have probably always been one. My mother told me this story about when I was two years old..she was walking through town with me when suddenly I pulled her hand hard and started dragging her to a window. In the window there were rows and rows of shoes, and I stood there just staring at them. She said that there wasn't anything that could take me away from that shop window, and she had to stand with me while I looked at the shoes for half an hour. No kidding. So I have always been a fashionista, at least from the age of two!
