Q&A's...Answered!
{Essie fall collection. These colors practically scream the words must-buy.}
Earlier this week, I posted a Q&A post where you readers could ask me anything and I would gladly answer them in a post. Well, lucky day readers. Read away!
Q: What is one piece of clothing that you couldn't live without?
A: I couldn't live without this gray vest. It pairs well with nearly everything. And for a busy girl like me, those items come in handy.
Q: What is your must have for fall?
A: Brown classic riding boots. Yes, yes, and yes.
Q: What is your favorite shop?
A: It's a mixture of Forever 21, Urban Outfitters, and J. Crew...but H&M, in all their nautical-striped glory is what I am currently lusting over.
Q: Is there a designer item that you are drooling about right now?
A: YES. SO glad you asked me this! It will always, always be the classic Chanel handbag with the gold straps. Mark my words.
Q: What eras do you pull most of your fashion inspiration from?
A: I love trying new things so I'm not one to stick to only one, but I definitely adore 1920's and 1950's fashion! Audrey Hepburn, layered pearl necklaces... A girl can dream.
Q: What is your favorite brand and why?
A: Is it bad that I don't have a specific favorite brand? I love all varieties. Say Forever 21, H&M, J. Crew, Urban Outfitters, Zara...that's kind of my style. I'll dress preppy one day with a plaid blazer, headband, classic LBD, (think Blair Waldorf) and then the next day I'll throw on a retro leather jacket and a pair of black combat boots for that fierce, defining look. But hey, that's just me.
Q: Do you play any sports?
A. Oh absolutely. I used to play soccer, run track, and play tennis. But now I only focus on tennis.

Q: What high school activities are you involved in?
A: I'm currently President of Tri-Chi which is a girl's sorority, member of Key Club, 12th Man, FCA (Fellowship Christian Athletes), Spanish Club... those are the current ones that I remember off the top of my head. There's probably a few more I'm forgetting.
Q: Where do you draw your inspiration?
A: Let's see. My inspiration comes from my favorite fashion muses like Blair Eadie who is the queen of layering. She's hands down, phenomenal. {Atlantic-Pacific}, celebrities like Olivia Palermo, Gossip Girl cast, Alexa Chung, and Rachel Bilson. I lean towards people who are about my height and size.
Q: What is your favorite recipe?
A: Favorite recipe. I'm going to have to go with these amazing brownies my close friend and I baked for one of our typical movie nights.
Q: Why did you start blogging?
A: I started blogging because I have this passion for writing (I'm considering on majoring in journalism) and fashion. It was just another soothing way to keep things interesting in my life. And I thought I'd give blogging a shot. In fact, my one year is coming up soon. October 8th.
Who are your favorite three bloggers and why?
A: Drumroll please. They are...
1. Blair Eadie: she is so inspirational. See for yourself, you simply cannot argue.
2. Emily Schuman: I love everything about her fashion sense, delish-looking recipes, and her cute write-ups. Her blog is a must-read.
3.Lexi: I love everything her blog has to offer. So adorable. I look forward to her posts daily.
What do you hope to do for your career?
A: I'm not 100% positive yet, but definitely like a magazine editor, journalist, or anything that relates to fashion. I'm still keeping my options open.
One thing you hope to do in the next year?
Adopt a baby pet hedgehog like my friend. Sooo cute, right? I couldn't help but share her precious hedgehog.
Just kidding, that's not what I hope to do. I hope to be able to get further with my blog. I know that's kind of difficult to do as of now since I'm a junior in high school and this is my hardest year. EVER. But it's something that I want to try and accomplish within the next year.
