Here's her exclusive interview:
YOU STARTED FASHION CHALET IN 2008. CAN YOU PLEASE TELL US MORE ABOUT IT ?
I used to take photos of my outfits for school to show my friends. Then one day, I thought to myself, "what if I could share these photos with other Fashion lovers? Maybe on a website?" I found how to do so, and quickly began my blog site! Also, seeing other girls posting their outfits on various Fashion Forums. Some would share the links of their "blogs" I wanted to make my own blog too!
THE INTERNET IS FULL OF FASHION BLOGS. WHAT MAKES YOURS SO DIFFERENT FROM OTHERS ?
I enjoy wearing reasonably priced items mixed in with high-end. For example- I find it a creative challenge to walk into a store like H&M, Aeropostale, Target or Forever 21 and dig for pieces that look "designer" or "different" I try to save money this way. Then I splurge on items such as designer handbags and shoes. I'm also a fan of collecting sunglasses. I guess what makes my blog different is sharing ideas of outfits for the girl next door, but with a modern and unique twist of my own personal style.
UNTIL RECENTLY, YOU WERE USING A DIFFERENT BLOGGING PLATFORM. WHAT CONVINCED YOU TO MOVE TO OVERBLOG?
I learned that with OverBlog, I could have more opportunities to grow my blog as well as create a cleaner design. I am hoping to watch my blog grow and I'm very excited about that!
The SocialHub is very beneficial. Especially for us Fashion bloggers- this will makes things much easier.
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE OVERBLOG FEATURE?
The SocialHub is very beneficial. Especially for us Fashion bloggers- this will makes things much easier. When traveling, sometimes it is hard to keep up with not only my own blog- but also with: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Tumblr, Pinterest, etc... With OverBlog I can do all of these at once! :)
YOU'RE NOW AN INFLUENT FASHION BLOGGER. ANY ADVICES TO THE ONES WHO ARE READING US?
Blog about what makes you happy, and most passionate. Create a voice and stick to what feels comfortable. If you are true to yourself and honest, people will notice and begin to read your blog more. I didn't start a blog to do anything more than share my fashion finds and ideas. I'm excited to say, I've made many friends and incredible opportunities along the way!!
