How did you become interested in fashion?
I think it started with my fascination with street style blogs, especially eccentric ones like Hel Looks.

What inspired you to start your own blog?
I've been posting outfit photos and wishlists on the internet for years so finally, it was like ... well, I'm already creating the content, might as well find a proper outlet.

What are your dreams and aspirations?
My dream is to be a firefighter princess fashion designer. I aspire to be an intellectual property lawyer.

How would you describe your style? What’s your favorite look at this moment?
I would say that my style is tidy and simple but still kind of trendy. I like tucking in my shirts and wearing heels and I tend not to accessorize very much. I'm really enjoying La Garconne's pre-spring lookbook.

Where do you get your fashion inspirations?
Mostly magazines and random images floating around tumblr. I really love Gravure magazine and the Oak blog.

Where do you shop? What are your favorite brands?
I have an embarrassing amount of items from American Apparel because I used to work there. I do enjoy a lot of their pieces. My other favourite is Zara but I've been trying to cut down on disposable fashion and investing in quality instead of quantity. It's difficult though.
