How do you get your inspiration for the outfits you wear ?
I get inspiration from Anime and movies, mainly the early 80's and late 60's type eras. I love the colors and the bold shapes used in both era's and it was always about being neat and polished.
Who has had the biggest fashon influence on your outfits ?
I think Anna Karina plays a big part in that, in every movie i see her in, she has the same hair, the same dark makeup and the same effortless/renegade/revolutionary/chic-ness to her.
What blogs and websites do you follow and why ?
I am on lookbook.nu every day of my life almost, (except weekends). I'm new to this blogging thing, and while i enjoy blogs that have models and clothing that is 8347234897239487$$$$$ Its just so out of reach it becomes unenjoyable to me. So the blogs I do follow, http://theoliviaalo.blogspot.com/, http://lululetty..blogspot.com/, and http://ealtosaar.blogspot.com/, and a few others, but mainly just alot of personal style blogs and art blogs. I just think it's more personable and more down to earth that way ;]
Would you describe yourself as a trendsetter or fashion follower ?
hmmm, I guess trendsetter, really, all of my clothing is either made/altered/secondhand/free/or gifts and I reallly think that when you follow those guide lines you really stand out from the millions of drones that are "fashionistas".
How would you describe your style ?
everything looks coustom made in some way, or diffrent, I strive to be original but keep modern athestics, i just dont want to look Like I went into urban and picked up the "it shirt" or dress that I saw everyone online wearing. like the new rodarte line for target, its REALLY cute, but everyone, EVERYONE wants it/ that beige slip dress, and makes me totally not even want it.
