1. Why did you start your blog?
I heard about it from my friend Alice, who has a day life blog of her favourite things etc.. on http://lovebeau.blogspot.com/
2. When did you first become interested in fashion?
I really wasn't interested in fashion until about 2 years ago when I started working at Topshop and I only really started work there because I needed the money and they were hiring. When I was there I saw all the trends and how quickly they all change and also how easy they were to follow, so I started to take an interest. My fashion sense beforehand was very like everyone else; I didn't want to stand out, I wanted to have the typical side parted hair, jeans and plain t-shirt as my signature look.
3. How would you describe your style?
My style is very curve conscious, I know everyone says they should love their curves, but I sometimes find it hard when I am unable to wear the latest thing, for example a ‘bodycon dress’ due to what I see as an unattractive curve! I know, I know, some people may be screaming whilst reading this, but instead of ‘showing off’ my curves, I’d rather wear something I feel comfortable in. Therefore allowing myself to show off the shape I want people to see!
4. How long have you had your blog?
I’m quite a new blogger, I’ve had mine since 24th of September 2009. Although I have not been very good with it since joining university, I still love the opportunities I get when I do blog!
5. What is the most expensive fashion item you've bought?
I actually don’t know, maybe £65 pair of shoes. The thing is I’ve had expensive bags or other items bought for me for birthday presents or congratulations gifts, but never actually had it in me to buy something amazingly expensive. The thing about me is that I am so funny about spending money, that I have to justify it to myself for atleast half an hour after purchase to convince myself not to take it back due to ‘unnecessary buying’, as I would put it. Hence why I LOVE Ebay so much :)
6. What type of clothing do you buy most?
Tops, a lot of tops. I buy all kinds of tops, crops, bodysuits, and t-shirts but mainly tops pulled in at the waist, it’s the most flattering shape for me and quite often the best tops I have bought have been like that.
7. What is your favourite shop?
Of course, Topshop. Although, not all the time. Sometimes I find some of their looks a bit odd so I prefer their more plain items for me.
8. What's your aim from blogging?
Simple to share my buys, advice I find from other people and also just talk about what I’m thinking or liking. Everyone seems so appreciative of each other and its better than how some people are when you speak to them about fashion etc.
9. Who is your fashion inspiration?
I love Fearne Cotton, I have done a post about it her style before. Its not that I want to look like her, but instead I love how she is willing to always try something new; and I’d like to be this way.
10. Which are your favourite fashion blogs?
Apart from you of course, I would have to say Hannah from London--Rose, Giselle from Style of a fashionista, Kavita from I heart Vintage and finally Carrie from wish wish wish. Although I do LOVE a lot of other blogs, these are the ones I often find my own personal inspiration from.
11: Will you still be writing your blog in 4 years time?
I’d really like to think so, maybe I would be writing about a different topic though, maybe life after university, having a business degree and how I’m going to use that to my advantage :)
