1. Please tell us a bit of your personal fashion story. 

-I started my personal style blog, Inspirafashion, about three years ago.  I found out about Chictopia.com and how there was a community supporting each other in fashion blogging.  I thought it was so appealing and fun to post personal style outfits, that I joined.  Soon enough from there, I started my own fashion blog.

2.We really love the concept of your blog, did you have any doubt before you started it? And how is it today? How do you manage your blog now?

-I never had any doubt, I just thought of it as a fun hobby in the beginning and really just had fun taking blog photos and posting about my outfits.  I came up with the concept, Inspirafashion = Inspiration + Fashion, because I believe everything created in fashion, starts out with being inspired by something around you.  I didn't know how much great feedback my blog would receive.  I'm so grateful and happy for all my readers and their continued support on my blog.  Today, I've worked with many brands to inspire through fashion with collaborative campaigns.  I manage my blog now with a trusty secret weapon -- an online google calendar, where I plan out what posts will go live for each month.

3.What do you think are the pros and cons of owning a fashion blog?

-Pros, definitely are the amazing wide support from readers and followers; also of course the fashion events, travel, and perks of fashion freebies.  Cons, I would say is to really have a knack for time management, it can be time consuming, but if you're able to stay organized, its very doable!

4.Can you share your worst memory in connection to fashion?

-Worst memory would be maybe back in middle school, I remember there were some bullies and they would make fun of me for what I wore.  I felt horrible about it.  But you know what, you grow out of that stage and when you get older, you realize how stupid it all was and those opinions never mattered.  Wear what you are comfortable in, and the best part -- your confidence will shine.

5.What are your favorite brands in your country?

-If I could splurge, it would be Isabel Marant and Alexander Wang.  But, if I'm on a budget, I really hands down love anything from Zara.

6.Fashion Blogging may have opened a lot of doors for your career, what is the best door that you entered? :)

-I think the best door that was opened because of my fashion blog was my experience with Saks Fifth Avenue.  During Fashion's Night Out in 2012, never in my dreams would I have imagined mannequins would be displayed in their store in Union Square and styled by me, for the world to see.  It was really a dream come true to see that, in addition they had my blog name displayed too!

7.Do you have any fiction character fashion inspiration? If so, who? 

-Jo, from Funny Face (Audrey Hepburn's character) would be just that.  Her outfits and style are so inspirational and classic in that movie.

8.Share us your blog advice to young fashion bloggers. :)

-Do fashion blogging because you ultimately love what you do, not for the numbers, statistics, fame.  If you are passionate about what you do and are genuine about it -- all of that will naturally follow.  Be you, love what you do, and have fun with it!

9.Last question, how would you spend $10,000 if you found it in a treasure box in your basement? 

-Oh man -- honestly I would say I'd put it away into my savings account.  BUT, if I had to spend it all right then and there, I would book a long vacation with my significant other to travel all over Europe, particularly Paris and Italy would be a dream.

                                                                               ...

We agree with Kathleen, travelling is also our first choice if we have a crapload of money like that! :D Thanks to Kathleen we're more inspired to continue this blog and to share your stories.

Xo,

P.S. She Loves Fashion!
"Lovely... Never, ever change. Keep that breathless charm..."

These are the thoughts that popped in our minds while interviewing Camille Sioco. This gal is undeniably charming and sweet.

Today's fashion lover is from Australia! We're loving her blog even before we started this website. Let us share her fashion story and see how awesome she is.

1. How did you come up with the name for your blog?

-I used to be fond of wearing frilly skirts. They elongate my legs and make me appear taller than I really am and I had plenty in my closet. A friend had nicknamed me "Frillyskirts" and it stuck.

2. What is your fondest memory that is fashion related?

-I'm not one to get star struck by celebrities but when I saw Margaret Zhang from Shine by Three at Mercedes Benz Fashion Week and she knew of me, I was overwhelmed, squealed inside and felt like I had accomplished something with my blog. I know it may sound silly but for a small blog like mine and for a huge fashion blogging personality to have recognised me was huge.

image

3. How would you describe your personal style?

-I have a very feminine, dainty and chic look. I'm conservative with my style and how I approach fashion in general. In fashion, before I walk out the door, I ask myself 2 questions:
1. What would I think in 5 years time when I see a photo of this outfit?
2. What would my parents, child/children think when they see a photo of this outfit?

4. What were you doing before you got into blogging?

-Lazing around at home watching lots of TV series and movie marathons, doing nail art, listening to a lot of Backstreet Boys and K-Pop and being the subject for Ramon's photography practice. I had a very reserved and somewhat boring lifestyle and finally found a hobby that makes me happy.

5. How long have you been blogging?

-4 years, (wow, time flies by so quickly!) I have met so many wonderful people and have found such a lovely support group. I feel so blessed and I am so thankful for all the opportunities I've been offered.



6. What do you think are the perks of being a fashion blogger?

-The perks would definitely be discovering and being introduced to new brands and stores and meeting new people. I have met so many amazing people throughout the years and the support I have experienced is so humbling. 

image

7. What's the best thing in being a fashion blogger?

-The best thing would be the people you meet. In the news, you see all these stories about how cut-throat and judgemental the fashion industry is hence why for the first couple of years of people calling my blog a "fashion blog" I would be defensive for the fear that I would have negative criticism thrown my way. I have met the kindest people and developed new friendships through the fashion blogging network. Everyone is so kind, friendly, welcoming and very honest.

8. Your worst experience in fashion?

-As a blogger, I am always scared of getting bad feedback, haters and negative criticism. Luckily, I haven't had to experience any of this (yet) apart from one time where I was personally attacked by an ex-colleague of mine for not being such a great workmate while we were working together. I would say my worst experience would be my nerved when it comes to location shooting. I don't have the confidence to "strut my stuff" in public and with people watching. I am working on gaining more confidence and hopefully you'll start to see more outfit posts with a busy city background instead of deserted car parks and business parks.


9.What are the best advices, tips for fashion lovers?

-I don't know if I would constitute myself as being a fashion and style blogger who is worthy of giving advice yet since I'm still a "newbie" but I would suggest:
1. Stick to a style you are comfortable with
2. Don't always jump on the trend bandwagon
3. Try to incorporate yourself when choosing your outfit. For myself, this means always wearing my promise and engagement rings, my crucifix and my bracelet of 11 years regardless of if it would suit my outfit or not. The symbolism of these 4 items will always prosper over what it looks like.
4. Ask yourself the following questions:
1. What would I think in 5 years time when I see a photo of this outfit?
2. What would my parents, child/children think when they see a photo of this outfit?
5. Learn to shop your closet
6. Invest in items of clothing and colours that will not date



10. Lastly, for bloggers and those who are thinking of starting a blog?

-I say go for it! I have always wanted to have a blog regardless of what I would be blogging about. My blog initially started off as a personal blog where I would post my nail art, what I did that weekend and random things that went on in my life and never expected my blog to be more fashion related. I never knew I had a hidden passion for fashion as I used to be a jeans and tshirt girl but evolved as I got older. I had always admired people who were able to have a personal blog/online journal and were able to keep it consistently updated and wanted something I can look back on as an archive. It's so easy to start a blog now with Blogger, Wordpress and Tumblr. I think everyone should have one!

P.S. She Loves Fashion

Fashion Lovers have loved blogs ever since they found out about it. Before, there were only a few who put their fingers into their laptops and glued themselves in it, and blogged for the love of it, now there are a lot of bloggers and a lot of competition out there... But no matter, bloggers still rule the world wide web... Today we will share with you our interview with one of our favorite bloggers, Rathana Suy from Fab Fashionaire. We can't wait to hear her fashion story!
                                                                              ...


Rathana
"Born and raised in Germany with cambodian roots, I spent my entire childhood in Bonn and during my studies you could have often met me in Cologne. I am a dreamer with big goals, who works in the fashion industry by day and is a blogger by night.
I love inspiring others & being inspired by the huge amount of creativity and style from all over the world. This blog is my comfort zone with the focus on sharing inspiration, thoughts and style picks with other people, who are passionate about fashion & design."

1. How did you come up with the name of your blog?
I was thinking of something simple to keep in mind easily and which would fit my niche best: Fashion with a touch of luxury & design. I love to share style picks with others who are passionate about mixing high fashion with low prices.

2. How would you describe your personal style?
Basically it depends on my mood, which is good because I like to change. Plus I love mixing colors, shapes and prints to create looks that are chic yet edgy. Overall I try to give all my looks a personal touch.

3. What were you doing before you got into blogging?
Well before starting my fashion blog I had a blog in 2003 for a few years, blogging about web design and everything which came up to my mind.

4. Tell us a bit of your personal fashion story.
I used to own a pair of those big plateau shoes in the 90ies :-) I wanted this pair because almost everybody wore them in that time - nowadays plateau shoes are in trend again.

5. Tell us about your Fashionaire of the week.
The Fashionaires Of The Week came up in a night I was thinking about involving other people, so I wanted to showcase some of my lovely twitter followers, who are also fashion bloggers. Now every fashion blogger is more than welcome to participate by uploading their favorite look here and get the chance to be featured on my blog!



6. We saw that you started your blog just in August 2013, it's only been less than a year, how did you gain a lot of followers? 
I tried to network a lot in the past months. It's all about supporting each other - I'm so thankful for meeting new friends from all over the world through blogging.

7. Aside from blogging, what do you usually do during your free time?
In my free time I like meeting friends, reading other people's blogs and since I'm new to photography I play with my camera as much as I can to improve my skills.

8. What is your advice to young fashion bloggers wanting to gain supporters?
Visiting other people's blogs can help a lot to get supporters for yourself. Show your support first and then you'll get support from others, too :-)

9. Lastly, how would you spend $15,000 if you found it in a treasure box in your basement? :)
First, I would spend partly of this amount to get me a new and bigger closet. And the rest of the money would be shared with people who are in need.
                                                                            ...

We absolutely love Rathana, she's a blogger with a purpose. <3 We fell in love with her more when we realized that this gal loves to live life to the fullest and tries to learn as much as she can... Great job Rathana! We <3 you as much as we <3 Fashion!
                                                                            ...
