Q: How would you describe your personal style in 3-5 words?
Fabia: Eclectic Trendsetter
Q: Where do you shop? Luxury or high street? New or vintage? Boutiques? Online?
Fabia: I shop basically from everywhere. what I do is look for unique pieces: Something that catches my eye. In the last answer I wrote that I would describe my style as eclectic trendsetter. Well that's my current state of mind and basically I don't have any particular fashion personality because it changes based on the mood I am in. But I am always attracted to those outlets that offer unique items. I basically look for both on trend items and add a bit of uniqueness to it. Since I love being unique I go for boutique most of the time and also love High street like H&M as it offers the trendy items.
Q: If you had $300 for a shopping spree, how many items would you buy?
Fabia: Depends on my mood again. If I think I need to get a great trench coat I would be buying one. If I need to buy trends I would end up buying couple of basics and also 1 trendy item. If I need to feel like going for a treasure hunt in the thrift store I would end up buying 20+ items.
