Preppy outfit

Yesterday I went to the Primark with Anne-Mae and Lisa and we had so much fun, I found so much cool clothes, but a lot was sold out in my size, but I also had some cool stuff, like this cute shirt with collar, shorts, socks and bag. The shoes are also from the Primark, but I already had it. This outfit is totally Primark, funny, because I almost never shop there though.  This outfit is pretty preppy :) lol

Have a nice weekend!  Much Love, Zoë

Interview with Lisanne Beute from Fashionable and Me

Today I interviewed one of my favorite bloggers: Lisanne Beute from Fashionable and Me! I'm following her blog for a pretty long time and she has always been in my top-3 of my favorite bloggers. I was honoured to interview her and this is probably one of my best interviews. 

How do we recognize you and your style?

My style is girly and elegant with a fashionable touch. That touch can be everything, mostly it is something that people don't expect like a leather piece or something boyish. I love special items, things that not everyone wears. I also like pieces with a pattern.

Do you get inspired by people on the street? If yes, where do you think is the best streetsyle?

Yes, I get inspired by people on the street. I think Amsterdam is the best place to be in the Netherlands, but last summer I spend in Denmark and there we went to Copenhagen. That was really amazing, that people are sooo well dressed. Copenhagen is definitely my number one.

Do you like the catwalkstyle or do you prefer streetstyle?

I like a combination of both. I love watching catwalk shows, the pieces they show on the catwalk really inspire me. I like the tought behind the pieces. But, I also love streetstyle, because that are real people, who wear their own combinations. I love sitting on a terrace in the summer and watching people.

How do you combine your clothes?

I always try to combine my clothes in a different way.Actually, I never wear the same combination. Sometimes, when I'm really busy, It's hard, but I just don't like wearing the same combination twice.

What is the coolest thing you've ever done?

Hm, that's a hard question! If I look to the things that I did because I have a blog, it's definitely the Young Talent shoot for the Dutch CosmoGIRL and also Amsterdam Fashion Week was an amazing experience. Futhermore, a really cool thing I did was going to sailingkamps - I did that since I was 8 years old - , because that's always such an nice expirience.

How did you get invited for Fashion week and what was your first reaction?

I opened my mailbox last year July - I think it was July, but maybe it was alreay August - and I saw the email with the invitation, I run to my mom and screamed: 'I'm invited for Amsterdam Fashion Week, aaaaaaah'. I really didn't expected it and It took some days until I realised it. I just got the invitation and I didn't do something special to get it, except blogging ;)

What do you want to reach in your life and with your blog?

In life, I want to do things I love, like blogging, being busy with fashion, spending days with friends and graduate at high school next year. I have a goal and I want to reach that goal. My goal isn't very specific, but I know that I want to mean something for the fashion industry when I'm older. I want to keep my blog as I hobby. It's a kind of personal diary about my life and outfits. It's great to look back to one year ago and see the changes.

What do you want to reach in the fashionindustry?

I don't now yet what I really want to reach. After my high school I want to go to the Amsterdam Fashion Institute to do the study Fashion&Branding and after that I would like to work at a magazine or work for a brand/label. It's also a dream to start a own company. I would like if someone hears the name ‘Lisanne Beute’ that people say: ‘Ohh, that’s that girl’, haha.

How did you get to be blogger for Cosmogirl?

As I told I had a shoot because I was scouted as Young Talent. After that, they asked me If I wanted to blog for their site and ofcourse I said yes. I really like it!

What things do you enjoy the most about blogging?

Being busy with fashion, styling, photograhy and writing. Blogging is a kind of expressing yourself, finding your own style. I know and learn what I like and what I dislike and I also got much more confidence trough my blog. 

11.What are you doing in your free time? Do you also spend your free time with fashion?

 I also spend free time with fashion. I like to work on my style book, I like to draw, I like to style outfits and I also love reading fashion magazines. Besides this, I have a job and unfortunately I have to spend quite a lot of time on school.

How do you promote your blog?

Actually, I don't really promote my blog. I'm just blogging. If I have time, I leave reactions on other blogs. The blogs for CosmoGIRL ensure a bit promotion.

Do you have any tips for small blogs who want to be big like me? :) 

Just be yourself. Blog things that you like, be enthousiastic and work on your blog with passion. I believe that If you believe this things yourself, other people will see it too. Don't focus to much on 'becoming a big blog' but just have fun in what your are doing!

Interview with Veronique from A Touch Of Fashion

FOLLOW ME ON BLOGLOVIN

A little while ago I interviewed Veronique from A touch of fashion. She writes about fashion and about her life. She is only 14 years old and has already a great sense for fashion. Her style is variable, sometimes girly but also sturdy. Read her interview here!

What do you think what makes your blog and your style different from others?

My style represents me. I only wear things I really like and not "because all the others wear it too". I love to find out new clothes and styles but I always give it a personal twist. Sometimes I get negative, common critic on my clothes but I do not listen to that kind of people. Clothes that has been criticized, I still wear! I just love to be different than others and I hope my style presents that. When someone says "but what will others think of you!" I always answer with "that doesn't matter to me." Fashion inspires me and I work hard to give it my own twist and I actually think that that is already a difference. 

How do you describe your style?

Hmm - maybe I'm between girly and tough. I love to wear summerdresses with wedges, there's no party I'm going to without a dress and a pair of wedges. But on the other side, I love to wear my sturdy black shoes with laces and furs. I also have an awesome leather black pants. But I also love shorts and jumpsuits... and nerdy and classic... I especially love to mix everything - maybe I'm a fashonista of everything. I'm still founding out my own style. It could just be that I'm saying something else in five years. 

What kind of things inspirate you, and where does this happen? (school, streetstyle whatever..)

A lot of things inspires me. My sister (http://www.rockslita.blogspot.com/), other bloggers, people on the street, my friends, lookbookers, magazines, photos: to name a few. I get a lot of inspiration from my favorite bloggers. Lookbook is an amazing site to get inspiration from the most beautiful people on earth. It's become a kind of a hobby to me to look at people in the bus. They are all so different and I am also wondering what life they have, where they've been through and how they become so classic. If it were up to me: I would ask all those bus-people how they would describe their style. That would be an awesome way to get more inspiration and learn more about different styles.

What do you think of the streetstyle of Holland?

Holland isn't the most fashionable country, unfortunately. But with what we have: we're doing it quite good!! The fashionistas among us in Holland are fashionable and classic, beautiful. But I really annoy me to those people who always wear what others wear. Adidas, Uggs... to name a few. I mean: 'cause of all those people who wear Uggs on the moment, the people who really like Uggs 'cause on what they are and not because everybody wants them, aren't recognize anymore. They look like they're the hundred one that joins the rest, while they actually wear them because Uggs represents their style. It's a shame. Besides that, I like our streetstyle. As I said, I love to watch to those Dutchies - loving their own style and radiating that. Very confidence, I love that!

With her sister (She also has a great style!)

Do you change your style sometimes?

It isn't an issue of changing something: it's more that your style stays the same and that it develops itself. Invent a new outfit doesn't mean a whole new style! That would be nonsense. Of course, my style is different than it was five years ago. But it's more that my style was growing and it still is. When you're getting older, you mostly like something else. Maybe you have a nerdy phase or something, but from all these phases arises your own style. To this question I would say no, I actually keep it safe with me and working on it every moment of the day. 

What kind of things made really an impact on you? ( Like a city, or a fashionshow, blog)

Hmmm difficult! I think London. The most amazing city I've been too (for elucidation: I never been in America or even outside Europe). This vacation is going to be the third time and I love that city! It's beautiful, clean and you're really walking in to the arms of fashion. Besides that, spontaneous, happy people always make an impress on me. Not a really great impact, but such people you keep remembering. It's also great to met famous people: like I met the Dutch Martijn Lakemeier and footballer Ibrahim Afellay. 

What are you doing in your free time?

My hobbies are blogging, ofcourse, reading, shopping, doing photoshoots and chilling with my friends. I read all the time - I love to devour every book. I also read Harry Potter in English now and I have to say: it's even better in English! I love to shop... need I say more? My friends are very important to me. I love to spend time with them. You really have to cherish them. 

Which bloggers are inspirations for you? (link)

My sister from Rockslita  http://rockslita.blogspot.com/, Jennie from Jenniefromtheblog  http://www.jenniefromtheblog.com/, Roos from Lace and Pearls  http://www.laceandpearlsbyroos.com/, Marloes from The Style Sandwich  http://www.thestylesandwich.com/, Nanne from Fashiable  http://www.fashiable.nl/, Elsie from A Beautiful Mess  http://abeautifulmess.typepad.com/ and Jenny from Neon Blush  http://www.neonblush.com/ 

What is the coolest thing you have reached with your blog?

The fact that I, thanks to my blog, become more interested in fashion and invented that I love it! The opportunity to be a Blogger Model for Kenzaa for two times now http://kenzaa.nl/. See all those blogs and bloggers and reading those posts, which I love to do! The awesome bloggermails, tweets and comments for help and questions - checking my mail is become my daily work - and the way I can help them. The opportunity to get an interview on Girlscene http://www.girlscene.nl/ and write reviews sometimes. Another cool thing is that I invented I love to hold photoshoots and make photos. I also got my proud Canon EOS 1000D. I actually think that showing my own style on my blog is the coolest thing I have reached.

Dress to impress or less is more? (why)

I think... dress to impress. Impressing, showing, your style is fun! You'll radiate a lot of confidence. Of course, there's something true in less is more - but dress to impress is really letting yourself go: and that's the the point of fashion, right? Showing and impressing - letting yourself go: be you. Not holding back - style is more than just a hobby.  

Streetstyle or Catwalkstyle? (why)

Streetstyle, definitly. Catwalkstyle is beautiful and really inspiring, but sometimes it's just too much. Catwalkstyle is from a designer and models wear what he wants. I love to see how people develop their style and how that is standing by their face and body. It's not all about the trends but more about what you want to wear, that you don't care about anyone. I love that attitude. I love the street!

Fashionshow or watching on fashionblogs?

Hmm difficult. I think watching on fashionblogs. Maybe you can connect this with the question above. Streetstyle... fashionblogs... if you doing it right, what you wear on the street is also what you show on your fashionblog. And than I would choose for the second one. Fashionblogs also have something personal. That makes it more interesting! But I wouldn't say no to a wideworld fashionshow!!

Do you have any tips for me and my readers to get as big as our blog? (http://zoefashioncity.blogspot.com/) 
Have fun in what you're doing and enjoy every minute of it. Quality before quantity: work on your posts and blog. Working on your posts is more important than posting every day four posts. If you make beautiful, clean, well content posts, it doesn't matter if you don't post a whole week. Comment on blogs of others, because than your blog will be noted. Ignore people with common reactions and post what you want and not what they want. Try to be original, do not go aping other blogs. A blog is most of the time a hobby - so don't make it too difficult!!

Intervieuw with Zoe Suen

FOLLOW ME ON BLOGLOVIN

A little while ago I intervieuwed the amazing Zoe Suen from Fashiononymous from Hong Kong. Her blog is great! She posts her own outfits and she makes her own clothes. Her style is really girly and different. 

What was your inspiration to start a blog?

i was inspired by other blogs and decided 'why not?' so i started one with a friend of mine!

What is your motivation and what do you want to reach with your blog?

I just hope my readers continue to enjoy my blog and that it helps me develop my eye into the fashion industry. I get my motivation mainly from nice messages from readers!

What are you doing beside blogging?

i'm a student, and i love drawing, listening to music, reading and hanging out with friends!

Do you have something or someone who is inspiring you?

tons! people on lookbook, bloggers, people like alexa chung and chloe sevigny etc. 

What is the coolest thing you have reached with your blog? And how did you reach it?

I guess it's always cool to gain new followers and meet them personally through emails. It's also nice hearing from companies and shops which like my blog. 

What did you do to become so succesful?

i think having a lookbook account really helps with blogging, and being persistent with posts is good too!

How do you see yourself about 10 years? What are you doing then?

i hope i will live in a nice, cosy apartment doing a job i like, always in contact with my family and friends. 

What is the streetstyle in your place (Hong Kong) like? And what do you like and dislike about it? Does it inspire you sometimes?

It is pretty diverse, but really trend-driven as well. I think HK has great style, but i'm a bigger fan of style in new york and other cities because they're more creative in my opinion. 

Which place in the world made the best impact on you?

new york is my favorite city, because it gives off such an amazing vibe. I feel so awake and inspired whenever i'm there!

What is on your wishlist on the moment?

a spiked headband  and nude suede wedges for summer!

Who is your favorite designer or brand?

i love dion lee, alexander mcqueen, mary katrantzou, christopher kane, prabal garung, acne, and much more! brands don't matter so much to be as the actual product though. 

What can I do and other people to become such a good blogger as you are?

as i said, take advantage of social networks and devote time to your blog. it really helps!

Do you have any tips for me and my blog? (http://zoefashioncity.blogspot.com/)

be persistent with it and you will get better! keep it up!
