Liebster Award

Aww thanks to Llana of Chic n' Coveted for this award.

I love the idea behind it, The Liebster Award is given to new bloggers by their fellow bloggers as a way to spread the word about other blogs. I love community building! Definitely a great way to build your network and discover new people.
 

The rules: 

• Answer the 11 questions from the blogger who nominated you.
• Nominate 11 favourite bloggers who have less than 200 followers
• Ask 11 new interesting questions to your nominees. 

My Answers:

What's the one dream you'd love to achieve no matter what?  

Does world domination count? Just kidding, I want to be happy and raise successful children. That sounds cheesey (albeit true). A dream I'd love to achieve no matter what, this is hard, probably to own my own mobile dental unit.

Which fashion magazine is your favourite and why? 

Vogue, simply put its a great source of inspiration. I use it for everyday wear and in designs for clothes I sew.

Shoes or handbags?

I was stuck on this one for a while. Every time I thought I made a decision I'd change my mind. But I'll have to say shoes! I love how they can change the feel of an outfit. 

If you could design a collection of anything what would your collection be of? 

It'd be a line of women's cloths, although I've technically already done that. I'd like it to be on a larger (more professional/skilled) scale. I love incorporating Ankara (African printed fabrics, seen here) into my designs.

Do you prefer to blog about fashion, beauty or lifestyle the most?

I love blogging about fashion! My own as well as that of people and things that inspire me.

What are some career goals you have?

My number one career goal is to become a pediatric dentist, but I also want to design clothes, own my own business, pursue my love of the arts (photography, drawing and painting) and any number of things.

If you had the chance, who would you choose to interview for your blog?

This is something I hadn't thought about, but I'd probably interview all the natural hair "gurus" that I could. That's pretty general but I want to learn more (than I already know) about hair.

Where does your style inspiration come from?

My style is inspired by anything and everything around me. Things and people I see. I'm even inspired by things I don't like, just by seeing how repulsive or unappealing it is it drives me towards what I do like.

 

What are some goals you have for your blog in 2013?

I want to continue doing what I'm doing, blogging on a regular basis. Bring more OOTDs and trends. But also showcase more of my interest outside of fashion, like with the arts. I have so many interest in general that I'd be a waste not to put them display at one of the most obvious outlets (this blogs) that I have.

Which piece in your closet is your most favourite?
All these difficult questions. Probably a tie between ALL of my Jeffrey Campbell shoes and my velvet D&G blazer.

If you could get anything you're coveting right now what would it be?

This is a good one. In terms of material things I'd like a a pair of every single J. Campbell shoe and a LV Neverfull GM in Damier Azur. But in general I want a puppy and a 27.
