A: I grew up in a little town named Crowland (there really wasn't that many crows!) And since I was 14 I've been living in another small town named Market Deeping and I love it here :-)
Q: What have you studied, and what are you doing now?
A: At school I studied Maths, English, Science, History & Art. The first college I attended I studied Media, which included photography, film making, website design, art & also some art history! It was a mixture and for the most part I really enjoyed it, but then I moved to a different college and I managed to gain a Diploma in Art & Design. Now I create illustrations & drawings at the moment just for myself, but I hopefully will add some of them to my Etsy shop to sell, along with some trinket boxes that I have on there that I hand paint myself. I also really enjoy running my own blog!
Q: How would you describe your personal style in 3-5 words?
A: I would say my personal style is anything that I think is pretty.. Or white, I try to follow fashion trends but mostly it's a case of if I like it then I'll buy it! So in 3-5 words my personal style is, whatever the hell I want it to be.. That's 8 words, whoops!
Q: Where do you shop? Luxury or high street? New or vintage? Boutiques? Online?
A: I'll shop anywhere if I think they sell nice clothes, or even if I only end up finding 1 item that I absolutely love! I don't feel that fashion or style should be limited. I could shop in one store and find something that I really like for �10 or in another store find something for �65.. In fact I think I once purchased a pair of Kurt Geiger X Carvela boots for �175, but I have no regrets because they're beautiful & I wear them everywhere! I would say shoes are definitely my weakness and upsettingly the nicest ones are the priciest!
Q: If you had $300 for a shopping spree, how many items would you buy?
A: It depends on where I was shopping & what I could come accross on that day! I'm pretty sure I could very quickly spend �300 on Asos, I'm forever clicking the 'save for later button' button they have underneath items, I see that list I have going on as a sort of wish list or style mood board. Sometimes Asos is home for some more pricier items too so that could quickly add up to �300 in about 5 or 6 items.. I'd probably only end up with about 8 items!
Q: Do you prefer street style fashion or runway fashion?
A: I'm going to say street style fashion because although I would absolutely love to attend a runway fashion show and do love many things that are classed as runway fashion, sometimes I think runway fashion can be a bit crazy & out of reach and completely not something I would ever see anybody wear in the real world. And because some of my style inspiration comes from street style, all you have to do is walk down Oxford Street in London, every one is always dressed so nicely and fashionably, but everyone is different and it's normal everyday people, going about their ordinary lives & that's what I love about it. I also love looking through the street style section in my magazines!
Q: What do you splurge on? Skimp on?
A: Make up! Eyeshadow palette's to be precise, they're just all so pretty. I recently purchased the limited edition Lanc�me My French Palette and I really wish I could show it to you right now just so you could know how beautiful it is! That was �45, soI would class that as a splurge! Also shoes, I really can't help myself.
Q: When and how did you become interested in fashion, and where do you find your inspiration?
A: Probably around the age of 15 or 16, I'd of course always been interested in fashion and pretty clothes, I remember constantly going through my mums wardrobe and trying on all her shoes as a little girl. But it wasn't until I got a bit older that I started to discover fashion & beauty blogs and was in awe at the beautiful pictures they'd share of them wearing such nice outfits & I also got really into reading magazines such as Elle, I'm now subscribed to them just incase I ever miss an issue! I look for fashion inspiration everywhere!
Q: Who are your favorite style icon(s)?
A: The list could go on and on! I have fashion icons who are singers, actresses, bloggers etc. & of course iconic women such as Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly. Aside from those two wonderful women I'll say Crystal Reed, Olivia Palermo & Kristina Bazan from Kayture.
Q: What are your favorite fashion blogs? Magazines?
A: My favourite fashion blogs are Kayture, Niomi Smart, Platforms For Breakfast, Class Is Internal, Retro Flame, Winston & Willow, Maia Cotton, EJ Style, Raspberry & Rouge, Ivory Lane, What Olivia Did, In The Frow, Eat Sleep Wear, Frassy, Harper And Harley, Wish Wish Wish, Margo & Me, Hello October, L.E.M by Lydia Millan, Rocky Barnes & last but by no means the least, Emilee Anne. Some of these blogs owners blog about other things also, but they're my favourite blogs for fashion inspiration! And my favourite magazine is Elle, it's the only one I really buy! If it wasn't Elle then my next choice would be Vogue.
Q: What do you love about fashion? Not love?
A: I love that everybody's fashion can be different, that it can be whatever they want it to be. Fashion is a way to express yourself and I always find that the clothes a person wears is a mirror of who that person is or wants to be. What I don't like about fashion is how strict it can be, that some people (who have the money, I'm talking celebrities) will buy an extremely expensive and/or beautiful item of clothing and then never wear it again once it goes 'out of season'. I guess that's fashion but for me, if I love something I'll wear it forever if I can.
Q: Your favorite designers & brands?
A: Asos, Brandy Melville, Cos, Forever 21, French Connection, Kurt Geiger, Miss Selfridge, Mango, All Saints, Monki, Monsoon, Nasty Gal, Office, Oasis, Riess, Topshop, Ted Baker, Urban Outfitters, Whistles, Zara, Burberry, C�line, Chanel, Chlo�, Christian Louboutin, Calvin Klein, Dior, Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Mulberry, Prada, Vera Wang and Saint Laurent (YSL).
Q: Do you follow fashion trends? Which ones?
A: I follow some fashion trends, but only if I truly believe that I love that trend and realistically would wear it. I love flowing midi skirt will heels trend & Asos do some beautiful ones!
Q: Do you have any fashion rules when putting an outfit together?
A: Don't wear anything you're not comfortable with just because it's in fashion and don't wear denim on denim.
Q: Which would you be best at? Worst at? (Stylist, Designer, Photographer, Buyer)
A: I'd probably be best at being a photographer (since I have quite a lot of skill in that already!) and a buyer because how is that not the best job? Buying & choosing what clothes go in a store for a living! And I'd probably be the worst at fashion designing and being a stylist.
Q: What is your dream job?
A: My dream job would be being able to become a part time blogger, part time illustrator & general creator of things. Whilst getting to travel the world and take photo's of all the beautiful places I visit.
Q: What are your other interests? How do you spend your spare time?
A: Besides fashion my interests are beauty, illustration and all things art related, photography & my ever growing love for every single animal there is! I spend my spare time working on my blog, taking photo's out and about of anything that I find beautiful, creating things here and there & tending to my 4 furry felines.. I also just feel like I answered a question on a dating website profile!
