-F.I.P's Blog of the Week [Corazones Rojos]
Corazones Rojos blog is a blog full of thrift finds worn by the stylish Gabby. The reason i really love this blog is because i find her outfits very creative. If i see her putting certain things together i have to admit that i will try the same.
When did you start your blog?
On a rainy day in April 2009.
Why did you start your Blog?
I originally started posting my outfit photos on Flickr's wardrobe_remix, but I wanted a more concentrated forum and thus corazones rojos began. Plus, I wanted a forum that was more focused on me...me me me me me!
What is your inspiration?
Anything from Stevie Nicks (btw, my number one fashion - and life in general - inspiration) to grandmas to British culture to Cholas to indigenous peoples.
What are your aspirations?
My number one goal in life is to not spend massive amounts of time perfecting my eyeliner in the morning. That, plus raising my Bop-It single expert score from 84 to 100.
Name some of your favourite Blogs
In alphabetical order (because I'm a bit OCD):
Name some of your favourite places to shop
It's no secret that my numero uno place to shop is my beloved Value Center...always has been, always will be. I love you, boo.
What is one item you couldn't live without?
Ninety-nine cent nail polish. My go to shades are Blood and Nude. Wow, I'm so gothic. Hi, mom!
3 Things your bloggers may not know about you
1. I never wear open-toed shoes (feet creep me out!!!).
2. I have seven tattoos.
3. I'm really a man.
OK, that last one isn't true. Now for the real number three:
3. My real name is not Gabby.
Your favourite post so far and why
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.

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/
