Rachel, 28, Southern California, www.capturingitaly.blogspot.com 2) How would you describe your personal style? I love to combine elements of vintage with elements of modern! I love classics but translated with a unique flair. 3) Trends you are loving? I try not to follow trends but if I happen to already like a trend going on, I certainly participate! I love the current colour-blocking, midriff showing, and mini pleated skirt trends. 4) Trends you dislike? I dislike Maxi dresses & jumpers! 5) How do you shop? On a budget? Online? High end stores? Thrifting? I shop a little of everything! My favourite shopping took place when I lived in Rome... tiny boutiques and hidden gems. 6) Rules you always follow when putting together an outfit? Fit is everything! 7) Music you're currently listening to? Adele, Italian rock, opera... love music! 8) Favorite Brands/ Stores? My own boutique! My husband and I make custom clothing to fit your exact body measurements! http://www.etsy.com/shop/jensenfashion 9) What factors do you consider when getting dressed? Mood/ the occasion/ weather? I consider the occasion, the location (where I am currently living or the type of place where the event will be), and definitely the occasion. I believe if one relies too much on mood, the outcome can be costumey, but certainly a little creativity is necessary. 10) Is there some other detail you'd like to share with the readers about your style? Something you like to let them know? Since I believe that fit is very important, I invite you to check out our custom Etsy shop! 1) Name/ Age/ Current place of residence/ Website if any? My name is Mireya ( mee-reh-yah) I am 23 years old and I live in Phoenix Arizona. My blog is Chictopia.com/MireyaG 2) How would you describe your personal style? I don't like to confine myself to one style, I like mixing it up. I love to mix classic pieces with funky ones to give the outfit some interest, I am currently loving piling on a bunch of different bangles to add some sparkle to my outfit .... who doesn't love a little sparkle? :) 3) Trends you are loving? I am loving boho chic and tribal 4) Trends you dislike? Monogram overload! It's okay to have one item at a time but nothing looks worse to me then someone who is decked out in logos from head to toe. 5) How do you shop? On a budget? Online? High end stores? Thrifting? I LOVE thrifting! I get such a high from finding a piece that I know is super high quality and could possibly have an awesome history for under $10! My latest finds include a vintage violet Versace dress and a silk print Diane Von Furstenberg dress which I paid less than 5 dollars for. I always make sure to go thrifting on days when there are sales like Wednesday dollar day at my local Goodwill in which one certain colored tag is $1... no matter what the item is or its original price! If I see something that I love but doesn't necessarily fit I take it home and break out my sewing machine :) There are also times when I find a bag that I have to have at a high end store like Gucci but I make sure to only pay retail for items that are classic and I know will last. I must say that bags are my weakness... I recommend scouting out the latest sales if you want high end designer items at a good price. My favorite is the yearly Barney's Warehouse Sale, I scored 3 pair of gorgeous Louboutins for the price of 1 last year! 6) Rules you always follow when putting together an outfit? I don't have any rules when putting an outfit together but I do like to have a variety of textures and I feel it is important to not be afraid of color. I love putting monochromatic outfits together.. having different shades of the same color in different textures and fabrics makes an outfit really fun and interesting without having to think too hard about what colors go together. 7) Music you're currently listening to? I love all kinds of music, there is not one style I don't enjoy. I feel music is a bit like fashion in which you can express yourself through your art, whatever it may be. 8) Favorite Brands/ Stores? I love Gucci, Diane Von Furstenberg, Versace, Moschino, and Marc Jacobs to name a few. My favorite store by far is goodwill, it is such a thrill to walk into a store not knowing what great things you're going to find and walk out with pieces that are unique and have a history to them. 9) What factors do you consider when getting dressed? Mood/ the occasion/ weather? I live in Arizona so it is important for me to wear fabrics that breathe and are comfortable. I tend to dress up no matter the occasion because I believe the better you feel about the way your dressed the better your day goes... I know if I don't feel right about the way I'm dressed my day is just "blah". 10) Is there some other detail you'd like to share with the readers about your style? Something you like to let them know? Don't be afraid to try new things! I love experimenting with my clothes and seeing what kinds of things I can come up with by mixing and matching my favorite pieces. You don't have to have a lot of clothes to be a fashionista, you can give your most classic pieces a completely different look by just accessorizing differently. You can wear a LBD for a dinner date with a cute pair of heels and also wear it during the day with a denim vest and some flats to completely change the look without having to spend a dime on another dress. Make sure to utilize all your options and make the most of your wardrobe. I am currently loving tying my printed scarves to my handbags to add some pattern and interest to an outfit, so don't put away your scarves during the summer! Most importantly, feel good in your clothes and have fun! 1) Name/ Age/ Current place of residence/ Website if any?
YOUTHAGAINSTFASHION / 29 / Florence, Italy / http://www.chictopia.com/YOUTHAGAINSTFASHlON / http://www.facebook.com/pages/Youthagainstfashion/179505662079102 2) How would you describe your personal style? That's not easy to answer! I love preppy style...so in winter I love wearing a classic shirt with a tie and a vest, but in summer it gets so hot that I try to be fashionable with very simple pieces, I love buying nice t-shirts that can be trendy by themselves. I think my style is quite classic anyhow. 3) Trends you are loving? I don't feel like I follow trends that much. But lately I'm trying to incorporate more colors in my looks, I didn't try color blocking, but new bright colors have been added also on the latest male collections, so I think I may following the trend! 4) Trends you dislike? Nothing comes up to my mind. I think trends are ok, but anyhow you need to think if any trend could suit your style, body shape and so on. I don't see nothing bad in following a trend, but usually I'm not that kind of person, considering I don't feel that young anymore, and because of my work, I tend to compromise my sense of style! 5) How do you shop? On a budget? Online? High end stores? Thrifting? I have to admit I shop too much!! I'm desperate! I'm not a shopaholic, but I could become one! I love shopping. I love shopping online, I usually visit sites like ASOS, Topman to see if there's something I'd love to have...and I always find! lol I live in the city centre, so almost everyday, when I get back from work, I check everyone's fave shops like ZARA, H&M, Sisley...and if there's something I like, I end up buying it! I usually shop on Ebay too, mostly my Vivienne Westwood staff! lol I like thrifting too, and vintage too, but I have to admit that I'm quite picky so I don't usually buy that much there, it really depens by the shop choice. Anyhow, I'm planning on shopping a bit less... 6) Rules you always follow when putting together an outfit? I'd say I always try to balance my looks. It sure depends by the occasion I dress for. If I dress for work I try to stay as simple and classic as possible. But even if I dress up, I always try not to overdress. I like to keep my outfit clean and making it a bit special adding some accessories like pins/brooches, rings, bracelets... Now that I'm working a little more with colors, I guess I follow the rules my mother told me since I was a child lol I really try to balance all the colors in my outift, that may be a bit boring...but I can't help doing that. Like, my mother told me, black or blue cannot go together, same goes for blue and green. I know, it may sounds stupid or old-fashioned, but I usually follow those simple rules! lol 7) Music you're currently listening to? I'm quite open. I used to be more strict when I was younger, but now I really listening to anything I like. Lately I've been listening to Gemma Hayes, Coeur de Pirate, The Kills, Lisa Hannigan... 8) Favorite Brands/ Stores? I'd say Vivienne Westwood, if you could consider it a brand! lol Then I usually buy in shops like H&M and Zara, like everyone else! 9) What factors do you consider when getting dressed? Mood/ the occasion/ weather? I must say the mood doesn't influence my way of dressing, I'm always more concetrated on the way I look, I guess. That's not nice to say maybe, but it's the way it is. Yeah, surely weather influences me. When I work I usually plan my outfit the night earlier lol so it's bad when I wake up and it's raining and I didn't plan it! lol And of course I consider the occasion, as I said earlier. Honestly I try to appear always at my best, sometimes maybe I decide to be just a little more comfortable than others! 10) Is there some other detail you'd like to share with the readers about your style? Something you like to let them know? I just thank you for featuring me and everyone else who read those answers! I'm always open to suggestions about my style, so if you want, drop by and give me your personal opinion! 1) Name/ Age/ Current place of residence/ Website if any?
My name is Zane, it's kind of short version of Susan, just cut the "Su" and just have the "san" :) I am 24 years old and I live in Latvia, that's a small country on the eastern part of Europe. My blog is http://zanechictopia.blogspot.com/ 2) How would you describe your personal style? My style depends on my mood and changes all the time depending on the weather and occasion. I am mostly feminine and romantic with little retro influences. But I adore the rocker and bohemian style as well. 3) Trends you are loving? Right now I love the nautical trend, it's prefect for summer. My way of wearing it depends on my mood again - one day it could be slightly nautical inspired but the other it may look like a nautical costume. I love the military trend as well, I am big fan of Balmain, I think the military trend as well as the nautical will never be out of style. 4) Trends you dislike? I would say - neon colors. I love how they look on other but I could never pull of anything like that. 5) How do you shop? On a budget? Online? High end stores? Thrifting? I love thrifting, it's like adventure for me. I believe I haven't bought anything brand new for the last six months. And I think thrifting is a great way to recycle and I can get a lot of pieces for amazingly low price. 6) Rules you always follow when putting together an outfit? I start to build my outfit around one piece. It's usually something new I've got. I try to mix it with something in matching color or style or just go for a contrast. If the clothes are unique enough, I don't accessorize - the less is more. If the pieces are simple or look boring, I go for accessories - I am huge fan of statement earrings and whimsical necklaces. I always try to look more or less matchy, I just can't pile of random pieces of clothing and feel good like that. 7) Music you're currently listening to? I absolutely love music and listen to everything from pop to hip hop and from electronic music to heavy metal. But at the moment I'm really into indie music. 8) Favorite Brands/ Stores? I don't have any favorite brands, because my clothes are mostly from thrift stores. All I can say is that I love cheap clothes :) 9) What factors do you consider when getting dressed? Mood/ the occasion/ weather? I consider all the factors. My mood is really important, because I can express it with the clothes I am wearing, whether I feel blah and have just jeans and t-shirt on or whether I feel fancy like a topper of cake and dress like that as well. The weather is important as well. I can't freeze in the name of fashion, I try to dress properly - warm enough in the winter or cool enough in the summer. I absolutely love to dress for the occasion, whether it's club night or casual party or visiting the grandmother. 10) Is there some other detail you'd like to share with the readers about your style? Something you like to let them know? I think the most important thing is always to be you and be true to yourself. That means dressing depending on the mood. One can dress like coming straight from the runway but the lack of confidence or un-comfortableness will shine through. And I don't think it's a bad thing to don't have one particular style. It's always good to try something new and follow your heart, because we change every day and the world changes as well, so it's natural that the style changes too. |
