-F.I.P's Blog of the Week [Fashion Regardless]-

Well i showed you guys Fashion Regardless last week but here is the interview. Why do i love this blog? It's is a street style blog with a difference all the pictures are taken in Cornwall. Unlike others who go around the globe taken pics this girl is showing that her town/city (whatever Cornwall is) has got fashion sense. Next fashion capital...maybe thats a long shot.

When did you start your blog?

I can tell you exactly! I started the blog on 17th March of this year.

Why did you start your Blog?

I've always thought of myself as a really driven and, having set my sights on fashion journalism as a future career, was really disappointed with the limited amount of support or encouragement from the journalistic industry. I thought about what I could to use as a preference in the future, or a way I could prove that I was serious about what I wanted to do...so I decided to start writing the blog! I also wanted a place to project people's individual style who weren't getting enough credit!

What is your inspiration?

Where do I even start! I'm inspired hugely by the people I see around me. For instance, don't you love it when you see an elderly gentleman walking along, well turned out (you know the type) looking so happy and pleased with himself, and you just think "When I'm his age, I want to be as happy as he is." I'm inspired by people who let you into their personality through what they wear.

What are your aspirations?

To do well in my exams, get into a good Uni, have a HUGE amount of fun, get into fashion journalism and never get old.

Name some of your favourite Blogs

There are so many! The one that started me off is The Sartorialst- who wouldn't be seduced by such incredible photographs? I also LOVE Marionette- who has a surprisingly small following for such a beautiful blog. Style Scrapbook is also really cool along with Illustrate My Pillowcase and, of course, Fashion-In-Pictures!

Name some of your favourite places to shop

Charity shops! But I must add, they have to be the RIGHT ones- otherwise you just get a huge pile of really grotty, unwanted clothes. Finding good charity shops is a total mission, but worth it once you've found one.

What is one item you couldn't live without?

One? Hmm...I think an ipod (would you be allowed a charger? Or a socket for that matter?) it would keep me sane.

3 Things your bloggers may not know about you

1) I'm only fifteen! I'd like to think it isn't blatantly obvious that i'm so young.

2) To fill awkward silences, I talk about cats (always).

3) I am the worst speller you will ever come across (thank god for spell checker!)

Your favourite post so far and why

'Recycled Fashion'- because it's so great to see different and innovative ways to make fashion ecological. Every now and again you see an article in a magazine with a dress made of pegs or something and it's always so great to see!

If you could some out your blog in one sentance what would it be?

An internet pedestal for original and unique style.

Sorry, I had to choose two posts because I like to break the rules. Anyhow, these are my favorite posts due to the fact that they truly portray me and my personality accurately. It's utterly and verifiably GABBY. I'm crazy, but I think my readers get that and appreciate it. Plus, these posts got the most responses of any I've ever written. I really do enjoy reading what others have to say and when we have a forum where my craziness can be debated, it's incredible and beneficial for everyone.

-F.I.P's Blog of the Week [An Olive a Day]-

This is the first of F.I.P's Blog of the Week!

Meet Olivia from An Olive a Day, a blog full of outfit posts, reviews and whatever shes in the mood to write about. The reason i really like this blog is because all the clothes she wears are fabulous also being a curvy girl myself it's nice to see her blog being noticed and followed. Did everyone know that there is a whole other world of curvy girl blogs.

So heres the interview :D

When did you start your blog?
I started An Olive a Day at the beginning of this year, but I've technically been blogging about fashion and my personal style since I was about 14 or 15 through fashion communities on Livejournal.

Why did you start your Blog?
There are a lot of answers to this question, so I'll give you a quick rundown. I used to work in retail where I had total freedom of what I wore. I lost that job and a month later started a new job that basically requires employees to wear the least fashionable uniform in existence. It's not like I don't have a life outside of work, but I am there so often that I actually felt like I was losing myself style-wise. I started my blog to force myself into taking some chances and showing off clothes that I love to wear. I never intended on having a following, but I love that people are interested in what I'm wearing and my fashion perspective. I think I also subconsciously wanted to have a new creative outlet, and the blog has definitely allowed me to embrace some of my artistic curiosities.

What is your inspiration?
Old ladies on the bus, anything vintage - from fashion to interior design, textiles, people on the street, films from the 60's and 70's, quiet mornings with a book, and loud nights of music and swooning. I embrace everything as inspiration.

What are your aspirations?
Career-wise - I've always wanted to own my boutique or work my way up in a company that I am deeply passionate about. Lately I've also toyed with the idea of designing shoes for women with wide feet since this has been an ongoing struggle for me my entire life but who knows. Lifestyle-wise - I want to travel the world. I want to learn how to play multiple instruments. I want to be a better feminist and LGBT advocate. I want to be crafty. I want to impress myself.

Name some of your favourite Blogs
As far as fashion blogs, Sally Jane Vintage and Liebmarlene Vintage are easily my top 2 bloggers. They were my biggest inspiration to start blogging about my love for both vintage and modern design. Knight Cat has a great eye for celebrity and model style and knock out editorials. Copenhagen and StockholmStreetstyle, Stylesightings, and Hel-Looks are all my go-to blogs on street fashion.

What are some of your favourite places to shop
Thrift stores, H&M, Evans, ASOS, Ebay, Buffalo Exchange, Etsy

What is one item you couldn't live without?
Black opaque tights

3 Things your bloggers may not know about you
I'm a pathetic cook.
I'm getting my BA in December for Fashion Retail Management.
I'm almost 23 years old and I still don't have my drivers license!

Your favourite outfit post so far and why

I love this outfit because it was something I wore often this past fall, and happened to make me look 100x cooler than I actually am. This is also one of my favorite posts because the photos were taken right before the demise of my coat. I'm a strong believer in ease and comfort in style, and you can't get any easier and comfortable than an oversized t-shirt, flannel, jeggings, boots, perfect little vintage coat, and oversized scarf.

Just want to say thanks to Olivia for doing the first F.I.P's Blog of the Week check her out now at: http://an-olive-a-day.blogspot.com/
