Your style (in couple of words):
My personal style is minimalistic yet very graphic. I don’t try to incorporate too many things but one statement piece is enough for me. I am fond of traditional textiles since I come from a country rich in textiles and embroidery which I try to mix and match with my day to day outfits.
How long have you been blogging?
I’m into my third month
What was the reason that you've started blogging?
Ever since childhood I have been inclined to writing, going to a fashion school further for graduation helped me get a hands on experience about fashion and trends.
So my passion for writing and fashion was spotted by a bunch of friends who gave me this idea of starting a blog. Within three days I registered my blog and now there is no looking back!!
What was your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?
Starting a blog was not difficult because I knew exactly what kind of a blog I was up to. But the biggest challenge was after that as I had to get others know that such a thing existed.
Posting on social networking sites does help gut soon I realized that if I don’t infuse life into my blog it will die. So regularly posting interesting topics and catching up with events happening at that very moment helped.
What do you like about blogging?
The best part about blogging is that I get to meet new people and renew contacts with my old friends. The whole idea of writing what I think is exciting to me. Blogging to me is like an open diary about my likes and dislikes. The whole process of putting up a post based on a simple idea is really inspiring. When I see my page views and followers going up day by day it gives me a kick. Views, likes, comments all are added sugar for me to keep blogging.
What would you like to change about your blog?
I would like to change the layout of my blog as I haven’t worked on it even a bit.
It’s too basic so I would make it more interesting visually. I am working on it and soon would accomplish that too.
Any future plans for your blog?
As the blog gets bigger I want to make it a one stop destination for people related to fashion and style for reference. And further down the lane I would also use it as platform to promote my work.
Fashion Icon: Isabella Blow for her exclusive and sartorial style. I’m a big fan of her wild headgears.
Favorite clothing item: My favorite clothing item is a white falling lapel jacket by Rustam Chauhan. Its starkingly white in crepe and is a perfect piece to take you from day to night. So when in doubt I prefer wearing this one. (See attached picture)
Favorite brand: Not any particular as such. But since I own a lot of FCUK I am fond of it.
Favorite Celebrity: Lady Gaga
What would be your dream job: Dream job would be to get into a magazine like Vogue, Elle etc write and style for them. But sometimes down the line I plan to start a label of my own in partnership with a friend who would deal in styling, garmenting, working with magazines, design analysis etc.
Where do you dream to live: There is no place as comfortable as my own house. So my dream is to live there all my life.
Hobbies: I do a lot of reading and writing. Photography is another passion but I still have to get a hang of it.
Any beauty/fashion tip?
Go out play with colors and textures , experiment, try breaking rules and have some fun.
Beauty tip : always have a lip stain with you it works well on the lips , eyes, cheeks etc.
Fashion tip : keep in an interesting stole /scarf in prints, checks etc handy all the time so that you can prep up any boring outfit. Drape it like a necktie or a cowl or tie it around your waist the way you want it.
Any advice for someone who aspire to be a blogger like you?
If you have It in you then do not hesitate a bit. Go click pictures, meet up with people, go networking and always speak your mind. Develop a USP for your blog and it will take you to places.
Tell us something particular of you.
I am a highly organized person so anything that goes haywire irritates me to the core.
