What is your blog about? My blog is about my personal style and sometimes travels. I have a lot of things to share so I guess everything under the sun can get posted on my blog :) But one thing’s for sure, it is and will always be about fashion.

Is this your first blog? Yes, and I plan to continue it until I graduate college.Or maybe even beyond that. :) We’ll see.

When did you start your current blog? My blog started in 2011, I only used it before to reblog and like pictures but after my internship at this fashion magazine where I met bloggers, I planned to renew that old blog in 2012 and turn it to my fashion blog! So that’s the history of my blog.

What made you do it? I got to intern at a Fashion magazine where I got to meet these lovely bloggers during their photoshoot and this nice blogger inspired me to start my blog again. Although I was a bit young, it became my asset because I got to learn at a young age.

What was your first blog post about? An outfit of the day post. :)

What do you think is the most useful tool to you as a blogger? I guess, gadgets and internet connections. Garments will always be easy to get because as I blogger you have to learn how to style even the simplest items, so I’d laptop and wifi, you can also add the dslr. :) Rule number 1 is to have nice photos!

Do people in your real life know about your blog? Yes, my friends have helped me introduce my blog to other readers, hence, more opportunities and more readers.

What has been the one thing (blog post, project, etc) that you have been really proud of? My blog was nominated for the Best Teen Style award for Style Cookie Awards. That’s really rewarding because my hard work seemed to have payed off.

Where do you see your blog in a year? I see it becoming a bit more successful than it is now. I see it having a lot of followers

What do you wish you knew when starting your blog? I wish I didn’t stop during 2011. I could’ve learned more and got a more engaged readers following my blog. As of now, it’s kind of hard to breakthrough since there are a lot of competitions in the industry.

What do you wish you know more about now? I wish I know more people and I wish I know how to boost the amount of my followers and readers.

How do you keep motivated to post? Everything actually, but of course, it will always be the new things I buy especially the shoes! I’m a shoe-lover so really shoes are the ones that drive me to blog about my outfits. And to add to that, I’d say it’s the likes and comments I get with every post I have, I get so flattered with every comment I receive, it makes me feel like they appreciate my style. Lastly, it’s the other writers who commend my writing style saying it’s a really engaging post. :)
