Fashion Blogger Q&A


The lovely crew behind the 2threads style network have asked me to take part in their blogger Q&A!  Thank you!  I really appreciate your support of my little blog :)

Q1.  The time you felt most inspired by fashion?


This image of Gemma Ward on the cover of Vogue Australia November 2004 is definitely the defining moment and when my love affair with fashion began.  One of the jobs I did whilst at university was marketing campaigns on campus for big companies - mobile phone providers, banks and other necessary services.  It paid about $12 an hour, but offered some good freebies and bonuses.  One of those was a magazine subscription - to Vogue!  And I thought, what the heck!?  I had done a bit of modelling, but that world in Brisbane was not like the fantasy modelling world.  We wore singlet tops, denim shorts and flip flops as a uniform.  Vogue had never crossed my mind, especially not reading it.

But this issue of Vogue spoke to me.  The exotic beach holiday locations and packing essentials, beauty tips from models, fabulous ad campaigns for the design houses... It inspired me to lead a more fashionable life... and started the whole evil love affair with luxury.    Whether that's a good or a bad thing, I'll let you judge. 

I still have this issue in my old bedroom at my parents house.  I actually reread it while on holidays up there in January.  It's amazing how relevant the fashion and the written features are, 5+ years down the track.


Q2. The time you were proudest of your outfit of style?

I'd say my style is "minimalist".  Back in 2005 when I travelled to Europe, boho style a la Sienna Miller and Nicole Richie/Rachel Zoe was all the rage.  I could have fallen victim to the trend, and don't worry I wore plenty of gypsie outfits to class, but when I travelled, I decided on a minimalist style, which I'm very glad I did.  While all of my friends are channeling Sienna, with photographic evidence etching it in our memories forever, I am wearing black and white henleys, straight leg jeans, a slim cut coat etc... travel style that will never age!


Q3. The time in fashion you would most like to return to - eg 60's style, 70's style?

The answer here is none!  I love fashion where it is now!  I'm a Balmain girl (well a Balmain-loving girl, because frankly, who can afford $1,500 to spend on a t shirt?)

  2. Oh thanks so much for sharing! I loved reading through this and hearing about a part of your fashion journey. Your thoughts on minimalist style are excellent and painted such a vivid picture of what you were wearing in my mind!! Superb.

    And by the way - I am not a fan of the $1500 ripped t, but I'd take any of those Balmain jackets or a pair of their shoes in a heartbeat.

    I was curious if you ever thought of changing the layout of your website?
    Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could
    connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for
    only having 1 or 2 pictures. Maybe you could space it out better?

    Heya! I realize this is somewhat off-topic however I needed to
    ask. Does managing a well-established website like yours take a massive amount work?
    I'm brand new to operating a blog but I do write in my diary every day. I'd like to
    start a blog so I will be able to share my personal experience and views
    online. Please let me know if you have any recommendations or tips for brand new aspiring bloggers.

    Thankyou!

    Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The text in your post seem to be running off the screen in Safari.

    I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I figured I'd post to let you know.
    The design and style look great though! Hope you get the issue fixed soon.
    Kudos
