Emily of The Daily Fashionista

Emily, of The Daily Fashionista, styled our Claire Belted Satchel. We quizzed her on her personal style and some other things and here’s what she had to say:

Describe how you styled our bag with your look:

I really loved the pop of yellow on my Claire Belted bag so I wanted to try and incorporate with a very spring colored frock, so it only made sense to put it together with a pretty peach colored summer dress. Quite simple in theory, but I love combining two colors which are on the same side on the color wheel. Pairing the peach and yellow really warmed up my look.

Describe your personal style:

I’d describe my style as feminine, girly, with a splash of vintage whimsy. I try to incorporate some sort of vintage piece or vintage inspired piece into my day to day looks.

Best advice for someone just getting into fashion:

When I first started getting into fashion I took a lot of my fashion cues from magazines, such as Seventeen and Teen Vogue. Now that I’m older, I’ve come to find most of my inspiration from peers, be it bloggers, street styles, or friends. I also like to try out new trends and see how they mix with my vintage pieces to make it more of my own look. Experimentation is the best part of finding your style and showing off your fashionable side.

How long have you been blogging? What got you into blogging?

Starting a blog is like taking a giant leap of faith in yourself. I was scared to put myself out there, but in the end I’m so glad I did. I met the bestest friends through my blog and all the while we’re consistently inspiring each other to dress in fun creative ways. I actually got into blogging in August 2009 after reading Jessica’s blog, What I Wore and I felt like I just had to try it out.

Thanks, Emily!
