1. Tell us 3 random things about yourself.
I have been playing piano for many years.I love rock music.I love swimming.

2. Who most inspires your fashion choices, and which are your fave fashion bloggers?
It’s really hard to pick one particular person, because there’re so many people who inspire my fashion choices. But if I have to pick one it has to be my mum. She has a great taste in fashion. I can look at photos of her when she was at my age, mainly because she had amazing clothes. My favourite bloggers are Miss Pandora, Wunderlust and Fancy Fine.

3. Tell us your favourite things about the place you live…
The favourite things about the place I live are the beautiful nature, parks and the clothing stores.

4. What’s your favourite outfit you’ve ever worn?
My favourite outfit is the second outfit in this blog link where I wear a flower headband, light pink blazer, white dress, and light pink pumps. This outfit turned out to be my favorite outfit, because it’s French inspired and very dreamy. The landscape fitted perfectly as well, so I was surprised how well it turned out.

5. Describe a perfect day.
A perfect day is when it’s sunny. I don’t like windy and rainy days. It always makes me depressed for some reasons. It would be perfect if I could start my day with swimming. Swimming makes me happier and awake. Afterwards I would love to go shopping with my friends, and then go eating at a restaurant. At the end of the day I would love to relax at the sofa and read an exciting book, before I go to bed.

6. What are your 5 most worn items in your closet?
My 5 most worn items in my closet are a straw hat, white blouse from H&M, a brown leather bag from Morris, a black blazer from Lindex and a floral skirt from Primark.

7. What’s your favourite movie costume design?
My favourite movie costume design is Jacqueline Durran who among other things made the costumes in the movie Pride and Prejudice. I could have dreamt of owning the dresses worn by the characters.

8. How and where do you like to shop?
I like to shop at H&M, BikBok, Ginatricot and Cubus. But when I’m abroad for instance in England I like to shop at Primark and Topshop. I also like to shop at second hand stores and vintage shops to find unique pieces which I can’t find other places. As you can see I like to physically go shopping, but sometimes I like online shopping too.

9. Who are your favourite runway designers?
My favourite runway designers are Chanel and Christian Dior.

10. We love your floral headbands, do you buy them or make them?
I buy most of my floral headbands. But when I have time I make some of them by myself. There’re so many ways how you can make headbands. One of the outfits I wore a headband made of real flowers. Unfortunately, it only lasted a couple of hours. But I really like the flowers a lot. They fitted perfectly to my outfit. I remember I had a lot of problems taking pictures that day. Mainly because the flowers had a wonderful scent and the bees love that scent… I follow tutorials on the internet when I want to make headbands. But the materials I use to make them are: Fabric flowers, thread, needle and hemline elastic.

11. What’s your favourite thing to eat?
My favourite thing to eat must be pizza. It’s really easy to make and it tastes delicious. I have always loved Italian food.

12. Tell us what you would wear on a rainy day?
It depends if it’s cold outside. If it’s cold outside I often wear a warm coat, pants, scarf and a sweater. I always bring with me an umbrella. If it’s not so very cold outside I really prefer to wear skirts instead of pants.
