So tell me, What inspired you to start your own blog?

Actually it was my boyfriend`s idea lol. I was in holiday back home in Romania and I was getting bored, and since he knew I was obsessed with fashion he suggested me to open a fashion blog. He didn`t realize back then that this will mean he`ll have to make photos of my outfit every day. He always says now he`s too scared to give me any more ideas hahah.

Haha, Well at least he does a good job! What blogs do you visit often?

I love finding new blogs around the world. Some of my favourites at the moment are: Gary Pepper Vintage, Angelicablick.se, Cindiddy.com, Song of Style.

Very good choices! Which designers and/or celebrities most inspire you?

There are so many designers I love! Jason Wu, Isabel Marant, Balmain, Burberry, Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu, Alexander Wang, the list is endless.

Things you love about your Home/Hometown?

 I`ve been living out a suitcase for the last 3 years since I moved to England. Every year I`ve been changing houses, traveling, so I can`t really say I`ve found my “home” yet. But I kinda enjoy it this way, I feel like I`m in a constant adventure!

Sounds pretty amazing to me! What is the most surprising thing on your Ipod?

Kpop songs! I have no idea what the lyrics are saying but the songs are super catchy and great for dancing around in front of the mirror.

So I would love to know what inspired you to start your own blog?

 Well,  I guess other bloggers inspired me to create my own blog. I watched other fabulous girls posting their outfits day by day, with our without concept, and it start me thinking "I could do that too!" Besides I was already taking photos each morning with my outfits before leaving for school and kept them in a folder. I decided it was time to share them with others.

And I'm so glad you decided to share! So What blogs do you visit often?

 I visit..tons of blogs, I barely manage to read them all, but I love  The Fancy TreeHouse, Steffy's Pros anc Cons, Pine Needle Collective, Flashes of Style, Style Scrapbook, Thrill of the Heel - fellow Romanian blogger like myself; K is for Kani, Jag Lever.. many many more.

However  I adore Dior-mainly the work of John Galliano, Alexander McQueen, Burberry Prorsum, Missoni, Rodarte, Erdem. Celebrities... I love Gwen Stefani's style, she is so eccentric and yet so chic, so not in a vulgar way. I just love her.

My favorite magazine has to be Harper's Bazaar or Marie Claire, I find their articles inspiring and they serve informations you don't really find on the Internet that easily.

Her blog is full of outfits, trends, and stories from her everyday life, and it's an absolutely joy to read. Check out Rachel's Fashion Patch {here}.

Ok love, so tell me What inspired you to start your own blog?

      I have always loved art as a way of expressing myself and when I discovered blogging I felt it would be a great new innovative way to do just that.

I totally agree with you there! So What blogs do you visit often?

      I love a variety of blogs but two of my favourite at the moment would have to be Cool Girl Style and Frocks & Other Frivolities.

And Which designers and/or celebrities most inspire you?

       A designer which has inspired me for many years is Tory Burch. Her journey to becoming the owner of her own high-end fashion line having started from making designs in her kitchen is truly amazing. It reminds me that with persistency and commitment you can achieve anything!

I know she is quite amazing! This is usually a hard question but, What is your favorite item in your closet?

       I love my green Zara bag which I found for a great price on sale from their latest autumn/ winter collection. The bright green mixed with the faux fur panel makes it the perfect statement piece and I love it because of its unusual detailing.

Zara is my second home, so fabulous choice! Finish this sentence. I cannot Leave my house without my…..

      I cannot leave my home without my camera. You never know when you might need to capture an inspirational moment!

You know you might be the only girl who didn't say phone haha. Way to be unique! What do you like do to relax?

      I love to paint and draw in my free time, and of course blogging!

What about celebrity crushes?

       In terms of style crushes I adore Lauren Conrad and Taylor Swifts style. They are so chic and feminine in everything they wear and a great inspiration for on-trend girly fashion.

I couldn't agree with you more there. What are your beauty/makeup must haves?

       Concealer! I am always up late studying so sleep is often limited; my Mac Select Cover-Up concealer is must-have for hiding all dark circles.

And how about your Favorite Magazine?

       Vogue! It’s an addiction. I love how Vogue is a very culture-orientated magazine and many countries have their own Vogue, so when I visit a new country I love to collect a new edition.

Things you love about your Home/Hometown?

   I live in the middle of the countryside which is frustrating at times as I am far away from any clothing shop. However I love all the beautiful scenery around where I live, and I try to capture the magic of nature in my photographs!

And you totally do love, everything is gorgeous! So for my last two questions...What is the most surprising thing on your Ipod?

   Usually I like listening to more indie rock styled music such as The Temper Trap, or  Two Door Cinema Club, however when I am wanting to relax or listen to music while concentrating on homework I like listening to classical music- Birdy’s “Comforting Sounds,” is a current favorite.

And finally, What Tv show do you wish was still on the air?

The Hills when Lauren Conrad was in it! Lauren was such a great feature to the show and it was a great loss when she left.  

I couldn't agree with you more. Everything went down hill when she left :(

Annalisa: Moustachic

This silly beauty right here is Annalisa and she writes the blog Moustachic. Her blog is fun, refreshing, and filled with wonderful photography and fashion. I mean, its pretty hard not to get jealous, of her dream life. A life that currently takes place in Paris. I know PERFECT. *Sigh*. I completely adore her style, which is totally original, but I also am smitten with the wonderful backdrops that her photos claim. Enjoy the interview below, and check out her blog {here}.

So, its pretty obvious when it comes to blogging you know what you are doing, but what inspired you to start your own blog?

I was mainly inspired by other blogs, but the biggest influence was the summer i spent in new york where I met a very special person that taught me more about this blogging world and convinced me to open my own. I honestly wasn't 100% sure when I started, a bit scared of people's reaction in the beginning but then I got encouraged by friends and family and it pushed me to do more, and followers too of course :)

It's really wonderful that you had so much support! So for inspiration, what blogs do you visit often?

As probably for most of people Fashiontoast is my greatest inspiration, because she doesnt only take pictures of her clothes but its more about the atmosphere and i love that, 

another girl that is super inspiring is Tuulavintage she always looks perfect and the best bloggers together in one blog costra y ampolla they have amazing fun pictures!

Those are two of my favorites as well. Seeing the places they travel, and the things they where is so much fun.So what about other influences, Which designers and/or celebrities most inspire you?

ahhh more than designers or celebrities i get much more inspired by streetstyles looks, but Bambi Northwood is pure obsession 

I know she is gorgeous! So you have so many wonderful pieces, but what is your favorite item in your closet?

I have this pair of vintage shorts from Levis that i bought at Urban Outfitters 2 summers ago and i literally wear them every time of the year, 

whenever i dont know what to wear i pick them, they're my Jolly eheh

Haha we all have that go to pair. So Finish this sentence. I cannot Leave my house without my….. 

phone!

Short and sweet, I like it. To relax, you like to... 

watch tv series or online shopping ;) but my absolute relaxing place is this spot at the seaside where you get the best sunset view

Sooooo who your celebrity crush is? 

Ashton Kutcher, like i could cryy

Epic choice hun. We have all been there. What are your beauty/makeup must haves? 

I suck at doing my make up! i can only do eyeliner/kajal and mascara, donee

Favorite Magazine?

 I need to say, either LULA or SELFSERVICE , but theyre really different

So you live in such a beautiful place, what are some things you love about your Home/Hometown?  

That it actually feels like home everytime i go back, and that everything kind of gets easier 

 How about music, What is the most surprising thing on your Ipod? 

that i havent uploaded any song on there by myself, i give it to my friends and they do it for me haha

Haha genius! And last but not least What TV show do you wish was still on the air? 

FRIENDSSSS! even tho i like that it was 10 years and that it never got boring :)  

But really....It never does! Thanks so much love!

Tori:Daisies and Pixie Dust

This stunning girl is Tori and she is the blogger behind the wonderful blog Daisies and Pixie Dust. She describes herself as an "18 year old living in Portland, Oregon who spends time playing dress up, taking pictures, blogging, cutting up magazines, picking flowers and talking to cats." So what is there not to love about this girl?!?! Not only is she down to earth but her style is impeccable. I personally adore her blog and I think you will too! Check out her interview below and check out her blog {here}.

So you have one of the most original and organic blogs I have ever seen, what inspired you to start your own blog? 

I've always had a passion for styling and putting together outfits ever since I was in elementary school. When I discovered the world of blogging, I knew it would be a perfect outlet for me to share my form of art and to do what I love. 

Well I love what you do! So, What blogs do you visit often?

I love visiting blogs like Amy Flying a Kite, Style Rookie, and Doe Deere Blogazine. I love blogs that combine thrift store finds with designer. I really admire those who are willing to go out on a limb and be daring with their personal style. 

I consider you pretty daring with your style as  well. Which designers and/or celebrities most inspire you? 

I don't look to celebrities for fashion inspiration as much as I have in the past, but I really like Elle Fanning, Hailee Steinfeld, Alexa Chung and Rooney Mara. As far as designers, I'm a huge fan of Rodarte, Alice + Olivia, and MSGM right now. 

Aren't we all! Well you have so many fabulous pieces in your collection, What is your favorite item in your closet? 

That's such a hard question! I really love my vintage dresses, and I have a new pair of vintage high rise shorts that I love and am sure I will be living in this summer!

Finish this sentence. I cannot Leave my house without my….. 

My iPhone would be the most obvious answer. But, taking that out of consideration, it would be chapstick! I need chapstick like always.

Haha thats a good one! To relax, you like to... 

Take warm showers, take walks outside, put in a favorite movie series...(Harry Potter, Star Wars...)

Those are classics. I see you have good movie taste as well! So who is your celebrity crush then?

No one believes me when I say it but I really don't have one! I think I got out of the "celebrity crush" phase in middle school after the Sprouse brothers never responded to any of my fan letters...:/

Oh the Sprouse Twins! And You're right I don't believe you, but whatever you say! I would love to know what some of your beauty/makeup must haves are?

I love my Maybelline Falsies mascara (the normal kind, not that weird Wings kind), Bare Minerals, and Lime Crime lipsticks, especially Retrofuturist. It's the perfect red.

Favorite Magazines?

 For art and fashion, I really like Vogue, Teen Vogue and Dazed and Confused. I love going on Rookie Mag for lifestyle. I love reading advice and stories from real girls like me. 

You have such a wonderful backdrop to your photos. What are some things you love about your Hometown? 

There's so many things I love. We have some great antique and thrift shops. We also have a terrific old Cameo theater and a drive-in movie theater that I love going to every summer. 

I will have to visit sometime! I would love to know what the most surprising thing on your Ipod is?

I really don't think I have anything that surprising! I don't know if people would be surprised if they looked at my music choices or not. It's very me. Lots of old music and lots of classic rock. You won't find any hip hop, rap, pop, or anything current or "top 40" though, so maybe that's surprising?

Very cool! And last but not least! What TV show do you wish was still on the air? 

Lizzie McGuire, without a doubt! That show helped me though my entire pre-adolescent years and brings me back so many memories. I would love to be able to watch that show again.


Well good news, there is Youtube Channel with a whole bunch of episodes! Not that I have gone there recently...... :/
