Who is your fashion inspiration?

I find inspiration from many bloggers on lookbook and my well-dressed group of gal friends.

What is one thing you always carry in your bag?

Chapstick, especially during the cold windy season.

What is your current favourite fashion trend?

I would definitely say chiffon blouses and button-ups are my favorite trends at the moment. I can almost start a collection!

What is the current trend you dislike the most?

UGG boots with shorts, I understand the comfort aspect of the boots but when paired with shorts it’s a bit confusing. Is it winter? Or is it summer? That is the question. hehe

Why did you start your blog?

I had always wanted to start a blog but college life was too time consuming for me to completely dedicated myself to doing so. Thus, when postgraduate life started I jumped on it like it was the last train leaving the station.

Who takes your photos for you/ How do your take your photos?

I have a few photographer friends that have taken photos for me in a few outfit posts but mostly one of my close girl friends.

How would you describe your style?

I think my outfits reflect my personality, which is pretty sporadic. I usually go with what I feel like putting together at the moment. One day I’ll be more lady-like with my skirts/shorts and the next day I could be a total boy and layer up with button ups and pants.

What is one thing you are dying to buy this winter?

The Rachel Zoe Belted Shoulder Tote! I’ve been looking for the perfect tote and I am a sucker for chains.

Are you a shoes or bags kind of girl?

I think BOTH!

What is one thing that you regret buying?

I think there’s more than one, but they’re all shoes. There is a tendency in me to abandon or forget about my shoes! (Insert guilty sad face here)

If you could meet one person from the fashion industry/ a fashion icon who would it be?

It might be a typical answer but Gabrielle “Coco” Chanel. With a fashion empire that large not only does it take phenomenal knowledge of fashion but also an astounding entrepreneurial mind.

What is your favourite vacation destination?

I love Hawaii! The mellow atmosphere and laid-back attitude of the people takes me away from the busy LA city lifestyle that I am used to. I went during my early high school days and would definitely like to go back.

What is one totally random fact you want others to know about you?

I used to dance on a collegiate hip-hop team!
