- What is your favorite fashion style or trend? Stripes. They will always be classic and trust me, they have kind of taken over my closet.
- If you could traveled, where do you want to go and why? I would love to go to Italy and stay in a gorgeous chateau on a hillside with tuscan architecture.
- What is your favorite food? My favorite food...that's a tough one. I recently found out I'm gluten free. Thankfully they still make gluten free mac n cheese. It's between that or Chinese food.
- What movie or TV show character do you want to be and why? Blair Waldorf obviously. I want Serena's hair and Blair's confidence & closet. I don't think I need to explain why I want to be her.
- If you have superpowers, what would you want to have? Hmmm...a great super power to be able to make clothes appear in my closet. I mean honestly, who wouldn't want to build their wardrobe that way!
- What are your dreams and goals? I hope to open my own social media management company in the near future. Its a dream of mine to be my own boss. I hope to have a family one day and be an amazing mother and wife.
- If you were a supernatural, what would you want to be? A vampire, werewolf, fairy, witch, mermaid, angel, etc? I would have to say mermaid. If I was a mermaid I could see all of these amazing different parts of the sea and the behaviors of fish that I have never seen before. And I'd always be tan, so that's obviously a bonus.
- If you celebrate Halloween, what/who are you dressing up as for this year 2014? I'm not quite sure. James' birthday is on Halloween so we focus more on celebrating his birthday. I would probably want to do a couples costume of Barbie & Ken.
- Who is your favorite superhero? I have to say, I'm not a big superhero person. So this is cheesy but my mom is my superhero. She is always putting her mind to what she wants to do and she conquers the world every day.
- What is your favorite candy? My favorite candy hands down are the Haribo gummy raspberries. I'm addicted to them.
- What store do you love to shop at? I love J.Crew, Lilly Pulitzer, Boutique Stores, & Etsy (etsy is my go to for everything!)
- What TV series are you obsessed with right now? I don't exactly have a show that I'm obsessed with right now. I usually start a series and finish it within a matter of days on netflix or hulu. Recently I've been obsessed with Hart of Dixie and I'm secretly excited for the new season of Orange is the New Black to come out. Judge me.
- Who's your favorite person in the whole world? My favorite person in the whole world would absolutely be my fiancé. I don't care if it's lame or cheesy. He is absolutely my best friend and my support system. I love that man very much.
- One thing you should probably be doing right now? I should probably be starting on a paper right now. But I'm actually super proud of myself for starting my to do list. I'm half way done! So go me!
- What's your favorite APP at the moment? Obviously I love photo editing. There's this fun little titling app called Studio Design. Check it out!
- Name one item you can't live without? I probably couldn't live without my computer. I manage everything off of it. My blog, pictures, contacts, etc... are all on it!
- If you could go back in time and stop one embarrassing/awkward moment that happened to you, what would it be? It would probably be Friday when I accidentally stabbed myself with my seam ripper in sewing class and had to go get stitches.
- What decade of style do you like the most? (20's, 70's 80's, 90's) I actually love the 20's. The styles of the flapper dresses and the transition from floor length skirts to knee length was one of the most scandalous things to happen in women's fashion. It was unheard of.
- Be Brave: Name your first crush. My first crush would probably be a hard one. Unfortunately I can't divulge that information.
- What character from a T.V Show, Movie, or book is similar to your personalty? Briefly explain why. Rebecca from Confessions of a Shopaholic and I have very similar personalities. Both with shopping problems, a lot of care for people, and an emotional attachment to our clothes. We both love to write and fashion. Need I say more?
- What's one advice that you would tell the "old you"? It will be ok. You don't have to be like everyone else. Own who you are and everyone will respect it. Just wait.
- What's one catchphrase that you often say? "like" it's actually a really bad habit that I need to break out of. I throw like into a conversation when I don't know how to explain myself and when I don't know where the conversation is going.
- Who is your style icon? Style icon...I don't necessarily have a "style icon." I have bloggers that I want my blog to grow to be like but my style is my own. That's one of the territories that go with being a blogger. You have to be able to create your own style.
- Favorite band/artist that no one else listens to. When no one else is listening I love listening to the pandora 90's radio. It reminds me of my childhood & I totally air guitar rock out to it!
- What is your dream travel destination? What do you want to do there? My dream travel destination (other than italy) would probably be Paris, France. I want to experience real French food, see the eiffel tower, learn the language of love. Maybe one day, but for now it's just a dream. I mean honestly can you imagine venturing to a little corner coffee shop with a biscotti and the cutest cup of coffee and then going to the flower market just down the block?
- What's your favorite mode of transportation? My car. If I had a choice though I would totally fly everywhere. From middle school when dad made me do Civil Air Patrol and I got to fly planes, I have dreamt about flying again. How cool is it to look down and see the world moving below you?
- Favorite piece of clothing in your closet. My vests or my hats. They keep me sane.
- Favorite ice cream flavor. Cherry Garcia by Ben & Jerry. Hands down, no questions asked.
- Top 5 favorite movies. Devil Wears Prada, P.S. I Love You, Bridesmaids, Legally Blonde, & Confessions of A Shopaholic
- What is your thing? (favorite hobby, notorious habit, something that you're known for) My blog. It's what I love to do in my spare time (which I don't have a lot of.) It's so much fun to see the response I get from posts and to interact with readers & brands.
- What is your favorite season and why? Fall or Spring. Fall because of the crispness that's in the air. It's not chilly, but it's the perfect sweater weather. Spring because Jacks come back into season, white is acceptable, and the weather begins to warm up
- If you could live in a different era which would you choose and why? I think I would choose the 20's or the 50's. I mean honestly the silhouette of the 50's house wife is absolutely perfect.
- Where is your favorite place? My favorite place in the world is downtown anywhere. I love seeing the history of the downtown areas of every place. From the abandoned factory buildings to the fingerprints that sit in the walls of the buildings that once stood for such glorious industry and prosper.
Alissa's Questions for Me:
- What's your favorite quote? "Give a girl the right shoes, and she can conquer the world." Bette Midler
- Biggest fear? I'm not sure what my biggest fear is. I have a lot of irrational fears I'm afraid.
- If you could have any pet, what would it be? Well, I have a dog and I absolutely love him. But I guess if I could choose any OTHER animal I would choose a baby leopard or lion. They're so cute when they're babies.
- You just got a million dollars, what is the first thing you do? Pay off my credit cards.
