A Selective Potential Interview

One of my all time favourite bloggers agreed to a small interview (which I still barely call an interview) and I'm so glad that she did. It's Tieka from the very inspiring blog, Selective Potential. She's a girl with a unique style which is influenced by many other bloggers out there. Through the years, she's developed a collection of floral dresses and I think that's what makes Tieka, one of many unique fashion bloggers. I found she is quite herself and very honest as a person and personally, I value that. 
Here's how we went...

Me: At the age of 5 what did you want to become?

Tieka: I wanted to be a musician - especially a singer. At the time, my dad and I both loved Journey and I would honestly run around the house signing "don't stop believing" and always dreamed I'd be a rockstar ;) 

Me: Who's your favourite fashion icon and why?

Tieka: Honestly, I'm not in love with a certain celebrity for their style. I'm drawn to real girls with real style that I can gain inspiration from - that's why I love blogging so much. Bonnie from Flashes of Style is probably my biggest fashion inspiration. I'm always checking her blog for ideas.

Me: Your Top 5 Fashion tips...

Tieka: Mix black and brown, match odd prints with similar color belts/shoes, go for funky-patterned tights to make a bold statement without spending a lot of cash, if something is too expensive - try thrifting for something similar! and keep an inspiration board so whenever you're out of ideas you'll have something to refer to 

Me: Describe your crib.

Tieka: I live in a small-town beach apartment, three bedroom, with a sunroom, living room, laundry room and outside rooftop deck. We have wide-planked wood floors, earthy colors for the paint and it's pretty much all decorated with IKEA ;)

Me: If you were to invent anything, what would it be?

Tieka: Well, I don't know if it's inventing, but I'd love to "start" a fashion/style magazine! 

...And there you go guys! I just want to thank Tieka for being so humble and taking up some of her time to answer my ridiculous questions. She's so amazing and a very pretty girl. I love her style and I'm sure that many of her readers feel the same.

Korhan Savas Interview

For a guy, he's cute and extremely sassy. He has a handful of modish hair and just he's as fashionable as a la mode. Some, may disagree but I like the quirky demeanour he displays. His name is Korhan and he's an acquaintance of mine so it's a blithe for me to share with you some of his flamboyant characteristics. He's quite unique and so I asked him my same questions and he hadn't the need to elaborate on them. He's straight forward and he knows his stuff especially when he's creative enough to create a few solitary outfits. I really admire his take of being "outside-the-box" with mens fashion.

At the age of 5, what did you want to become?

At the age of 5 I wanted to be a princess.

Who's your favourite fashion icon and why?

My fav fashion icon ATM would have to be lady gaga because she is very deering with whatever she wears.

Your top 5 fashion tips?

1: flaunt your best bits. top to bottom!

2: your hair matters with whatever you wear.

3: sunnies arnt just for day wear.

4: stepping out of the comfort zone is always eye catching. 

5: be a freak bitch, baby

Describe your crib.

It's a master peice. 

If you were to invent anything, what would it be?
A time machine to the 80s!

A Clothes Horse Interview

I am very honoured and very privileged to have interviewed Rebecca from The Clothes Horse this week. Not wanting to bother the 'classically romantic' woman and straying her away from her daily routines and such, I asked if she could just answer a few questions for me and she ever so politely accepted. She has become one of my favourite bloggers and I have to say, probably the reason why I started blogging. Her style is just so classy and I envy how photogenic she is.

At the age of 5, what did you want to become?

At 5 I probably wanted to be an artist. I was quite obsessed with everything crafty and got in trouble in preschool and kindergarten for not rotating stations, but just stayed in the artist corner all day long.

Who's your favourite fashion icon and why?

I don't have one favorite fashion icon because I like different people for different things and also admire characters in books or movies as much as living, breathing women. I love Sofia Coppola's easy, classic fashion and her sense of style that is reflected in the direction and mood of her movies. I also love Anna Dello Russo because she wears runway pieces without watering them down, but really embraces the dream of what fashion can be. I'm also very fond of Faye Dunaway in Bonnie and Clyde.

Your top 5 fashion tips?

I don't think I have 5 tips; I'm rather against the idea of fashion rules and my biggest advice is just to wear pieces that make you feel confident. You have to get dressed anyway, so you might as well dress yourself in pieces you love and that might help you stand a little taller.

Describe your crib.

Right now, I'm living with my parents in a large old house on a military base; our home is located inside the base's moat. It has a lovely large porch which is wonderful in spring and summer, inside the walls are all white (military housing=we're not allowed to paint!) and there are high ceilings, covered in tin on the first floor. There are four fireplaces, but only one is functioning and the house is full of charm like that; two staircases and lovely wooden floors. It's really nice and spacious and by this fall I'll probably be living alone in a tiny apartment the size of a closet or something! :)

If you were to invent anything, what would it be?

Haha, I don't know! A teleportation machine? It would be marvelous to travel all around the world quickly and cheaply (as the inventor, I would certainly be allowed to use it for free). There are a number of friends I'd love to pop-in on for just an evening.
