Poet of Seamstress Stories tagged me with 10 questions. Here are my answers. If you want to play along, answer a question or two in a comment!
Q: What’s your favourite fashion accessory?
A: Structured, high-quality handbags with interesting details or bold colors. I always search for steals when shopping for clothes and accessories, but handbags {and shoes} are worth the splurge. They can make a low-budget outfit look like a million bucks.
Q: Who’s your fashion role model?
A: I have so many! Check them out on my blog roll over to the right.
Q: What do you always carry with you?
A: Pretty much everything but the kitchen sink. I always carry a huge-mongous handbag with all of my “necessities” organized in smaller makeup bags. Ridiculous amounts of lipgloss and lipstick (most of which I never use), makeup touch-up tools, iPhone [and charger, of course], and a myriad of other things. Maybe I should do an “In the Bag” post soon so you can see the extent of my daily purse hoarding…
Q: How would you describe your style?
A: Polished, modest, classic and tailored
Q: What’s your favourite? Jeans, sunglasses or heels?
A: Can’t live without sunnies in the sunshine state!
Q: What inspired you to blog about fashion?
A: I needed a hobby, and a way to channel my out-of-control shopping into something productive.
What is your favourite fashion store?
A: I love LOFT and Banana Republic. I like to mix their classic, tailored pieces with cool vintage/thrifted finds.
Q: What is your favourite fabric in clothing?
A: I want to live in Zoey Deschanel’s closet in the cotton commercial. {The touch… the feel…} At least 80% of my closet is made up of natural, washable fibers — especially cotton. It’s easy to care for, comfortable in the hot and humid climate I live in, and more eco-friendly.
Q: Who are your favourite designers?
A: I love the aesthetic of Tory Burch, Michael Kors, and Chloe!
Q: Who or what inspires your style?
A: My favorite bloggers and fabulous real-life friends. I also pay close attention to stylish women I come across in my day-to-day and take mental notes of the things that stand out to me. You can read more about my inspiration on my formspring!
Q: Would you choose to buy something high quality or make it yourself if you could?
A: I really, really want to learn how to sew! Until then, I’ll have to go the retail route.
