//The Answers//

I am very sorry that it has taken me ages to reply to your answers! Finally, here they are:

//What kind of job do you have? Or do you still study?//
I am still a student. Studying English and literature.

//What do you consider your biggest flaw?//
I am a perfectionist and it drives me crazy at times. Many people say that this is a "good" flaw, but there's nothing good about it when it makes me stress my brains out.

//Do you prefer ketchup or mayo?//
I am definitely more of a ketchup girl (though if mustard had been an option I would have chosen that without blinking!)

//How has your blog become so popular all over the world?//
I don't think my blog is popular all over the world, but I feel very flattered that you think so! Hopefully I'm doing something right...

//What is your favourite piece of clothing?//
It has to be a gorgeous 70s inspired, short, floaty dress with 3/4 sleeves that I bought in France this summer. Or a chunky black cardigan with gold and silver stud detailing on the shoulders.

//What is your favourite trend this fall?//
This fall has a great deal of excellent trends to choose from so I find it hard to choose only one, but since I have to I'll say sequins. I love how sequins have been used in the different fall collections! But anyone who's been reading my blog for some time know that I have quite the obsession with sequins.

//Will you post a picture of yourself?//
Not yet. Though I am playing around with the idea of doing outfit posts here on the blog. Have to wait and see though.

//How would you describe your style?//
I am very into the idea of creating a closet consisting of good basics, and then adding some unique pieces to spice up outfits. My friend told me recently that she thought I looked like a glamour hippie with an edge. And that's probably a good description of my style. I like a lot of hippie and bohemian inspired clothes (think Sienna when she was with Jude), and I like edgy simplicity (think Dree Hemingway, Ashley Olsen, Erin Wasson). Throw in some glamour from time to time (think Olivia Palermo) and somewhere in between it all, you'll find me.

//What are your favourite designers?//
Ahh, I have so many! Balmain, Stella McCartney, Louis Vuitton, Versace, Gucci, Chloé, Alexander Wang. I think I have to stop there because if I don't the list will just go on and on...

//Where do you like to shop?//
I like the highstreet shops because so many of them have improved their lines these last few years. But since I like owning unique things, I often pop by my favourite vintage shops in hope of finding some great treasures. Ebay is a great place to shop too.

//Where do you find inspiration for posts?//
The internet is full of lovely fashion spots, and roaming around these inspire me when I do my posts.

//Do you consider yourself more of a girly-girl or a tomboy?//
A girly-girl. I love dressing up, putting on make-up and wearing accessories. Though, I think I have a little tomboy in me too, because most of my friends are boys. And some days it just feels better to wear some loose jeans, a simple white t-shirt and a baggy hat.

//What's your fave blogger, and why?//
This is hard because I am so inspired by so many bloggers, but I think I have to say Elin Kling who has the blog Style by Kling. The reason I choose her is because I have been reading her blog for years, and all that time she has never stopped inspiring me. I admire her career, her style and I admire her very much as a person.

//What's your favourite magazine?//
Vouge Paris. No doubt about that.

//What's your favourite website?//
The Fashion Spot. It's got everything when it comes to style and fashion.

//What do you do in your spare time?//
I listen to a lot of music, I go treasure hunting for vintage pieces and I'm always searching for special pieces for my flat, I do a little bit of photography, I like going to the theatre, walks are refreshing (especially during crisp mornings), I love sitting hours and hours drinking coffee with friends and family, when I have enough time I cook and bake, I go to concerts, I read books and magazines and I'm thinking of doing some assisting for a stylist. When I have enough spare time, the one thing that I love the most is to travel. Nothing beats it. Discovering new places in this world is magical.

//How old are you?//
20.

//How long have you been blogging?//
I began blogging about 3 years ago. 09.09.06 to be exact.

//What motivates you for every single post?//
I love the whole world of fashion and style. It never stops to amaze and inspire me. It's like a healthy, young heart that never stops beating. This freshness is what motivates me for every single post, and the fact that I know that even how much I search, there are always new and incredible things to discover.

//Can you cook?//
I actually love to cook, though I rarely have time to do it properly. But when I have the time, I try to challenge myself. Sometimes it turns out fine, other times it doesn't haha.

//What's your favourite food?//
I have to go with thai food. It's so delicious! And Indian food. There's not much that can beat a good curry!

//What's your favourite thing about having a blog?//
It's a place where I can store all of my inspiration in one place. I also love that you are able to connect with so many great people by having a blog. Throughout these years of blogging I have met some truly fantastic people, and that is all thanks to the blogosphere.

//Do you tell real life people about your blog?//
No, I don't. I don't know why though haha. When I started blogging not many people that I knew were familiar with blogs and not many of my friends had one. So, I just didn't find the need to tell anyone about it. It's like my private space, though it's on the internet - the least private space of all haha.

//How much do you work inspiration from the photos you post into your personal style?//
I've found that keeping a blog where you post images that inspire really makes you much more aware about what you like and what you don't like.

//If you could raid any celebs wardrobe (dead or alive) who's would it be?//
Rachel Zoe because she has the most amazing vintage collection. Ohhh, can I say Carrie Bradshaw?? I know she's fictional, but her wardrobe is an absolute dream.
