What inspired you to start your own blog?
Since I have been a little girl, I have been fascinated with fashion, art and everything beautiful. Being surrounded by many stylish people since an early age helped me develop a significant feeling about styling my outfits. This was noticed by street-style hunters, and that is how I came up with the idea to start my own blog. My hat label has also played a very important part in this start, and both my blog and my brand seem to be quite successful today.
How important is the name of the blog?
I think it is important to have a name that represents you as much as possible. Your name is something that makes the first impression, whether one would fancy the blog or not. Investing into choosing the blog name is vital before launching your blog.
How difficult is it to find a blog niche?
I wasn’t thinking about this when I started my blog. Just being myself in everything that I do in my life is special enough and already a “niche.” Being a young mother, wife and successful designer is already something special in the world of a plenty of young and beautiful blogger girls.
What is the best way to promote and grow your blog?
Collaborating with internationally known brands, being featured in renowned publications and websites, and filling the fashion blogosphere with amazing style and inspiration.
What is your main audience and how did you reach out to them?
Young, emancipated women between 15-35 years old, who are inspired by my looks, my work as a designer and the way I manage my blogging career together with being a mother and a businesswoman.
How important is it for your business to attend fashion week?
It is important to meet with the fashion crowd that comes together at events, like fashion weeks. Meeting new designers, bloggers, potential collaborators and of course friends is extremely important.
What are the best tips for building long-term relationships and partnerships with brands?
Being true to what they are looking for right from the start of the collaboration. Another important thing is to meet up with the brand’s expectations, and be able to present the brand beautifully on your blog.
What is the biggest challenge about running a blog?
The biggest challenge is to stay fresh, inspirational, and get better every day.
What advice would you give to anyone looking to start a blog today?
Never give up! If you have that special something, the right people will notice you – sooner or later.
What are your ultimate plans for your blog/blogging career?
Expand my blog in other countries, collaborate with some of my favorite brands, and launch my collection through my blog in every part of the world.
