 Stylish blog Alissa Loves has loads of fashion inspiration, trend advice and outfit video posts. Go and check it out if you want wearable runway looks.

1. Describe your style in 3 words.
Classic, elegant, playful.

2. Who is your biggest style influence?
Other bloggers are really inspiring to me as you can see their outfits really frequently, and they all have really specific styles but are very - my favorites are Filippas, The Glamourai and Late Afternoon. I’m not truly into watching what celebs wear, I prefer street style and checking out outfits whilst having coffee in an afternoon. Travelling is hugely inspiring too.

3. How has your style changed since you were a kid?
When I was young I was very experimental with my clothes, and quite obsessive with individual items - like I’d get addicted to a particular pair of wide flare jeans and wear them until they broke or I found something new to obsess over. Nowadays I rotate my closet a bit more (perhaps because there’s more in it)! My actual style has grown up and I am leaning more towards well-made pieces with nice fabrics and more interchangeable cuts.

4. Favorite fashion film?
I actually made a video about this, which you can check out here. But my ultimate fashion movie has got to be How to Marry a Millionaire.

5. What’s your favorite outfit you’ve ever worn?
This is such a difficult question. I think it would have to be something with a really good memory attached to it, like this one - I was spending the day with my mum, taking a relaxed walk around a beautiful place, and the outfit was perfect.

6. Top 5 beauty products?
Coconut oil as a night moisturizer, Lucas Papaw ointment for lips, Bare Minerals for foundation and concealer, rose water as a toner and spritz and, last but not least, Tom’s Natural Deodorant.

7. What is your favourite food?
I love breakfast. I adore spending lots of time preparing breakfast, and having a relaxed time eating it - fruit salad, French toast, pancakes, porridge, muesli, homemade bread, yogurt - I love having a variety!

8. Name the 3 items you wear most frequently?
Black skinny jeans by Next, Navy t-shirt dress by Forever 21, Accessorize flip-flops (the most comfortable ever)

9. What do you always take with you on vacation?
Neals Yard Travel Remedies to Roll, leggings, currency, a toothbrush, underwear, snacks, water, dresses.

10. Top style tip?
Dress for your proportions - I have a really long body, so wearing high-waisted things keeps me looking in proportion. If you have longer legs, then wearing hipster skirts will keep you even.
