Do you read fashion magazines? And if so, what are your favorites? Yes, most certainly! I love Elle and Vouge for fashion news and InStyle for ideas.
Describe your personal style: Perhaps it is "fun corporate?" Mostly what I blog about everyday is stuff I wear to work. I'm determined to look professional, but still have fun and enjoy being young. I don't want to wear suits everyday.
Do you consult others for opinions on your outfits? I love posting my outfit inspiration on Twitter and getting feedback. If I can't decide if I want to wear something, I always tweet it
What are some of your favorite fashion blogs? Corporette, Red Carpet Fashion Awards, Clothed Much, Cute and Little, The Daybook -- I could go on!
How does the fashion in your current location differ from other places you may have lived or visited? In San Diego, life is casual and it is perfectly acceptable to wear a sundress in January. In Utah, life is more conservative and it is freezing six months out of the year. So I think my style is sunny, yet modest. Almost everything I wear there has sleeves and covers my knees.
What are your favorite stores to shop in (instore and online)? My fall backs are always Anthropologie, Ann Taylor, Nordstrom and H&M -- though I do find great stuff at Forever 21, Modcloth and even eBay. It is just a matter of being willing to search.
What is your favorite fashion tip? To not be afraid of fashion. Confidence is your best accessory. If you act like you are pulling it off, you probably are.
Do you consider yourself a frugalist or a full-blown fashionista? More fashion than frugal!
If you have a blog, what are your personal goals for it? I love blogging because of the friendships I have made. Working with companies is fun -- and I love it because I do it for my day job too, but I love making virtual friends across the Internet. I consider the people who read my blog regularly some of my dearest friends, and a lot of the relationships go offline
