Hellooo shimmer, continuing on with my share the love, please meet Ruxandra and her blog.
_____________________________
1. What is the name of your blog and its link?
My blog is called " From Brussels, with Love" , the link http://from-brussels-with-love.blogspot.be
2. What is your blog about?
My blog is mainly about fashion, trends, travel reviews from the places I've been, tips on shopping, health, beauty and of course, personal style.
3. When and why did you start blogging?
My first ever blog post went live on December 12, 2011. It was about my all time favorite shoes: Louboutins. But back then I didn't put so much price on blogging. I just wrote occasionally, but from March 2012, I've started more seriously and since then, I've been doing it almost every day.
4. Tell us a bit about yourself?
Well, I am 23 years old now and been living in Brussels for the last 3 years and a half. I'm originally from Romania. I love traveling, music and of course everything related to fashion. I think this little passion of mine for shopping has something to do with my mom naming me after a clothing store from Bucharest ( a famous one in her time nevertheless).
5. How would you describe your style?
I don't have a specific style. I dress how I feel or according to an event. I can go from elegant to casual and even with a bit of 60s influence, being one of my favorite time periods from where I get a lot of inspiration.
6. Who is your favorite designer?
Oh, again I don't have an exact answer. I don't have only one favorite, I have so many! I love Dolce Gabbana, Alexandre Vauthier, Vera Wang, Valentino, Versace, etc.
7. Are you a full time blogger? If not what else do you do?
No, I am not a full time blogger, but I wish I would be :). I also work as a secretary for a landlord.
8. What bloggers do you look up to?
I would say Madame de Rosa, The Blonde Salad and Dulce Candy.
9. Who are your favorite bloggers?
My favorite bloggers are again the three mentioned above along with Blair Fowler from Elle and Blair, Scarlett Alvarado from Trends VIP.
10. What do you like about blogging?
The thing I like the most about blogging is the opportunity to express yourself, either if it's thru clothes or simply by writing a product review, and to be heard, to see people who take your advice and also to have a better perspective of life, and actually learn something by interacting with others. I can say that my blog has "taught" me to be more organized, which is very important to me.
11. What dont you like about blogging?
I can say that I don't like the addiction that it gives you, if it's necessarily a bad thing. I tend to spend so many time in front of my laptop sometimes and I think it's a bad thing for me.
12. How do you come up with post ideas?
Well, I do mostly outfit posts, so inspiration isn't very hard to obtain. I just mix together a lot of trends that I like, along with the clothes and accessories that I have. As for the posts that are only writing, well I have the inspiration from everyday life I think. I like writing about stuff that we bump upon most of the time and try to give advice to others due to my former life experiences.
13. What kind of posts do you post most frequently?
I think the OOTDs are the most frequently on my blog.
14. What is your favorite post that you have written?
My favorite post that I have wrote.. humm.. it's a hard question.. I think it should be the one on shopping - Smart Shopping. How to shop during the sales-( http://from-brussels-with-love.blogspot.be/2013/01/smart-shopping-how-to-shop-during-sales.html )
15. Do you have any blogging tips?
Yes. If you ever start blogging, do it from your heart. Don't expect nothing in return cause you will never feel satisfied. If you just do it for fun, then many surprises will come along the way.
16. What do you hope to achieve this year?
I hope to have more inspiration so I can do wonderful stuff that will help my blog grow and also be able to do the photography school I have in mind.
