Interview with Invitation to Inspiration

I have discovered this lovely blog called Invitation to Inspiration and since inspiration is something that I love, I immediately fell for their blog! I hope you enjoy learning more about these duo bloggers!

I would love to know your names, ages, where are you both from?

Invitation To Inspiration duo are Matea (29 years old) and Martina (28 years old). Both of us were born in Split, Croatia. 

Martina studied Croatian and English linguistics and literature in her hometown. After high school graduation, Matea went to Venice, Italy where she got her bachelor`s degree, followed by a graduate degree in architecture in Trieste, Italy.

What made you start to blogging in the first place?
Matea`s photography was our blogging trigger. We didn`t overanalyze the idea of starting our blog. We were complete blog ignorants, which made the whole thing a lot easier for us. When you know nothing, you`ve got nothing to lose. 

Martina: I`ve always been impressed by Matea`s photos. After seeing her photos of my last birthday party, I said to her: "Woman, you`ve got to let the world see your talent! You should have your own blog!“ She said she would do it if I became her "partner in crime" and the rest is history. 

Matea: I`ve fallen in love with photography parallel with the beginning of my studies in Italy. I had been toying with the idea of starting my own photo blog for quite a long time, but I had a million excuses why not to start it. When Martina blurted out her proposal, I said to myself, "Why not!"

How does it work for two bloggers? Do you get along? Would you both rather have your own blog or do you like sharing it together?   
Our collaboration feels incredibly natural to us. We have never had the need to question it. We`ve been friends for 15 years and share the same aesthetic sensibility. Each of us enjoys complete freedom when creating a post. 


Matea is in charge of the architectural posts, Martina takes care of the literature section, while the fashion section is handled by both of us. Matea is the one behind the camera and Martina the one posing in front of it in our authentic posts.

 The idea of having separate blogs have never crossed our minds. For us, having a blog makes sense only if we`re doing it together.

What are you most inspired by? Why?
Creating the blog has just confirmed what we`ve always known- every aspect of the world around us is inspirational. From the work of famous architects and writers to the creations of ordinary people who live with us and around us. 

Finally, we inspire each other and learn from each other which is the most amazing "side effect" of having a blogging partner.  

How has being an architect and a literature professor affected your blog?

Our professions have gone beyond our daily jobs. Dealing with words, books, blueprints and sketches is our way of life. We do what we love, therefore being and architect and a literature and linguistics professor is inseparable from who we are. We believe people can sense it on our blog. 

What is your favorite landscape? What is your favorite piece of literature or favorite author? Matea: I believe there is no such thing as a favorite landscape. I can find beauty in the vastness of urban spaces, as well as in the secluded parts of nature. That being said, I primarily think of myself as a Mediterranean architect. Mediterranean landscape is where I feel I belong.

Martina: A true book lover could never choose a favorite piece of literature. Skillful and soulful writing speaks a universal language of emotions whether it`s a poem, a novel, a play or a short story. There are numerous authors whose work I appreciate, but the ones who I always go back to are Raymond Carver, J.D. Salinger, Mikhail Bulgakov and Haruki Murakami.

What do you love most about fashion? Why?
Fashion is an incredible art form. For us, fashion is an extension of one`s personality. It may sound weird, but very often fashion speaks loudly of who we are and what we feel. That is why we named our fashion section "Mood Mirror".

What makes your personal style unique?
Today, it is harder than ever to be unique. The trends are global and is very easy to look like a clone. The only way to be unique is to be playful and to dress according to your personality. We build our styles around who we are, not what we wear. Many styles may look similar to each other, but our personalities are what make us stand apart.

Give me one word that you would each describe for yourself?
This is a tough one! We`ll both go with: indescribable!

Lastly, what is something that you would like others to know about you both?
Matea is a passionate animal lover and fighter for animal rights. Martina was a screenplay writer for popular Croatian soap opera which she likes to call "daily drama".

I love your Tumblr! Where/ How do you find the inspiration?
The most thing I love about my tumblr is that I combine a lot of things. Is not like other only about fashion. My tumblr blog is a variety between beautiful faces , food , places that I like and of course fashion. I get my inspirations by blogs I follow and most of all are american blogs.

What is your favorite place to shop?
 I love second hand shops because I love vintage clothes , and that is a reason why my style is so unique. I also buy things online. The most of them on ebay. There are so much cheap things from Hong Kong online shops.


How do you separate your style from others? What makes your personal style unique?

Interview with Tea and Two Sugars

Introducing the beautiful blogger, Tea and Two Sugars! I have just recently discovered this blogger and I absolutely love her style. I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I do! 


I would love to know your name, age, and where are you from?

I'm Georgia, 18 from England.


What made you start blogging in the first place? How did you come up with the name for your blog?

I initially started out on lookbook and was intrigued by the blogs I found. It was essentially llymlrs.com that inspired me to start blogging, as well as the idea that I could become part of a 'community' that shared the same love of fashion as myself.

 My blog name stems from my long term love affair with tea that on special occasion, I will put sugar in if I'm feeling decadent ;)

What are you most inspired by? Why?

My inspirations change daily from certain people, colours and places. Although I like incorporating current trends into my wardrobe, I tend to veer off the beaten track from time to time.

Is it hard to take pictures of yourself? Do you have other people to take your pictures?

I've never really liked having my photo taken especially in front of other people so I use self timer on my make shift "tripod".

How do you pick an outfit for the day? What is your thought process?

Everyday I go through that horrendous feeling of 'wardrobe full of clothes, but nothing to wear'. I'll tend to dress based upon how I feel on that particularly day whether it be suitable for a game of polo or going to a halloween party. 

What do you love most about fashion? Why?

The thing I love most about fashion is that you can literally wear whatever you like in whatever way you like and it's accepted. I love that every time you step out of the door a platform to express yourself is provided.

Where is your favorite place to shop?

Although I probably spend most of my money at Primark, my favourite place to shop has to be Zara.

What makes your personal style unique?

I think my style could be reguarded as unique in how I like to take an outfit I've seen then put my own twist on it using items I've already got or mashing up the colour scheme. 

Give me three words that you would describe for yourself?

Three words I'd use to describe myself would be sarcastic, dramatic and abstract.

Lastly, what is something that you would like others to know about you?

The thing I'd like people to know about me is that I love to talking people, getting feedback, hearing people's opinions. 

Please stop by and leave me a comment, I don't bite, often.

Interview with Head to Toe Fashion

I would like to introduce you to the lovely blogger, Head to Toe Fashion! She is an amazing blogger as well as an amazing person! In her blog, she talks about anything that's fashionable from braided hair to manicured toes. I love how she fits everything together with the amazing pictures and fashionable insight. I have been following her for a while now and really enjoyed actually getting to know more about her!

What is your name, age, and where are you from? 

My name is Nicola and I'm nineteen years old, I currently live in beautiful Vancouver B. C, Canada!

What made you start to blogging in the first place?

I first decided to start blogging after I had been following some famous blogs like The Blonde Salad and Cupcakes and Cashmere and just thought to myself that I had the same passion and drive to share all the things that interest me! 

Why do you love fashion?

 I love fashion because it is a way to express yourself. It's the first thing people see before they get to know you personally and from that, they can tell a lot about your personality and mood! 

What are you inspired by? Why? 

 I'm inspired by bloggers! Honestly, if I don't know what to wear or just want an inspiration boost, I'll take a look at my favourite bloggers!  

What is your favorite trend happening this summer?

I'm really loving all the bright colours and bold patterns. With all that said though, my ideal summer outfit would just be some simple distressed shorts with a pattered chiffon top! 

Top bloggers, style trends, model spotlight.. those are just to name a few.. What other sections that you have in your blog? And what is your favorite?

I have so many sections, and I love them all! I have a fun music section and a section with great coverage of the best dressed celebrities. My two favourite sections are 'inspiration' and 'monthly memories' ! 'Monthly memories' is just a whole whack of photos I've taken over the past month , it's really fun to look back at them. 

Who is your favorite model?

 That's such a hard question! I love Frida Gustavsson, Barbara Palvin, and of course, Abbey Lee Kershaw. 

If you could only style one part of your body (with the rest of your body looking normal) What would it be?  

 If I could only style one part of my body it would have to be my torso! I could wear a gorgeous blouse, add a scarf and also some jewelry. 

Give me three words that describe you.

 Classic, Sincere and Hopeful!

Lastly, what is something that you would like others to know about you?

Something that a lot of my readers might not know is that I'm extremely passionate about all things design. I plan on attending school in the fall or spring in order to receive a diploma in Interior Design. I'm very excited about where it will take me!

Interview with The Wild Swans

I am so inspired by this interview and glad that I was able to learn more about the person behind the amazing blog called The Wild Swans. He has a great character and very knowledgeable about fashion. I highly recommend following his blog! I hope you enjoy this interview as much as I did!


It is my hopes that by these interviews, we as bloggers can actually get to know the amazing people behind the blogs that we follow. And in turn, start a community of bloggers who are passionate about the same things.


What is your name, age, where are you from?

My name’s Ronan and I’m 22 going 23 real soon, I live in Liverpool at the moment (looking into moving to London soon) but I’m originally from Italy. 

What made you start to blogging in the first place? What do you like most about blogging?

I’ve always followed some of the famous bloggers such as 00o00, the Bagaholicboy and The Blonde Salad and I was always utterly impressed by the amazing job they were able to put together, throw in the mix that I’m a very creative person and that I love writing then that’s how I started baking the idea of blogging as well.

My favorite part about blogging is being in control of what I’m going to write about, find the media, edit it and then show the results of my hard work in a blog post.  

What is the idea behind your blog? What do you blog about? Who are the “Wild Swans”?

I wanted to create a blog about travel and fashion and everything that connects these two elements together such as lifestyle and grooming products, all wrapped up in a bow of elegance. The Wild Swans was all linked with the idea of targeting mainly the male public (though I have lots of girls taking inspiration as well, especially when they want to buy things for the boyfriend or try to become their personal stylists).

I think the web needs more blogs about menswear and men grooming. I came up with the name “The Wild Swans” from the very famous fairytale by H.C.Handersen. I got inspired by the Swans as they are such elegant and stylish creatures.. and they tend to migrate in warmer countries during winter time. So there you have it really, style and travel in forms of white birds!

What are you inspired by? Why?

I’m inspired by so many things that it’s so difficult to pinpoint just few things and people.

I have to say that I tend to get my inspiration from anything that is beautiful to the eye. It can be a good natural scenery or a particular movie or a ballet. Mostly though, I have to say that fashion in general is my main motivator.

Music is another huge factor for my inspiration. I love writing articles while I listen to some cool jazz music! It's just like an energy booster for me. 

What is your favorite trend happening this summer?

Good question, I’m in absolute love with those Orleban Brown beach shorts with crazy prints on, I think they are super cool! Shirts with floral prints and short chinos as well (Burberry has few amazing ones!). 

It seems like you like to travel, where are all the places that you have been and what was your favorite?
I do love traveling and I hope that soon enough, with a bit of help from my blog I will be able to travel even more. So far I’ve visited Italy, Spain (Barcelona), Czech Republic (Prague), Germany (Munich), Switzerland, Austria, Scotland and England. Then I was able to go to Canada (Toronto) and the US for family reasons. I definitely need to have a trip of Asia soon…

I am in love with menswear! Who is your favorite designer? And what do you like most about it?

My favourite designer is Burberry. I’m just mersmerized by their clothes and I think Christopher Bailey is doing such an amazing job as a creative director for the popular Brit-maison. I think what I like the most about it is the elegance and the English-look of it.

Bailey’s able to transform the clothes into something special. One season is military the next can be nautical. I just love how unpredictable he is.

I also love Lanvin, Balmain and Tom Ford. 

P.S. Hands down to Louis Vuitton when it comes to accessories.

Give me three words that describe you.

Creative, Ambitious and Candid. 

If you could wear one fashionable piece what would it be and why?  

My Tom Ford Sunglasses. I think they are the coolest sunglasses ever made, I fell in love with them as soon as I accidently slipped my eyes on the campaign a few years ago. They make you look pretty bad ass when you have them on.

Lastly, what is something that you would like others to know about you?

I’m hoping to become an editor of a fashion magazine one day, but for now I’ll be focusing on TWS and *fingers crossed* I’ll be able to cover the next S/S menswear fashion weeks in London/Milan/Paris!

Interview with GVN Style Blog

I had the privilege of interview an amazing blogger called GVN Style Blog. I have been following her for a while and thought it would be appropriate to ask for an interview.

As I stated before, it is my hopes that I create a community of bloggers who actually can start a conversation, since we already have many things in common. I want us as bloggers to actually know each other as people, not as typed letters and pretty outfits and makeup. I want us  to create a warm community of bloggers who are just as passionate as fashion, photography, and inspiration just as much as I am.
I hope you enjoy this interview  as much as I have!

What is your name, age, where are you from?
My name is Giorgia von Niederhäusern, I am 26, I come from Lugano (Switzerland) but I am currently living in Zurich.


What made you start to blogging in the first place? What do you like most about blogging?

I started blogging because I felt like I needed to do something with my passion for style and fashion. My dream had always been to create a bridge to connect me with that world. In my blog, I found the best tool to express, live and feed my passions and interests. 

What is the idea behind your blog? What do you blog about?

GvN Style Blog is actually a mix of impressions about anything I like. The subtitle of the blog is "Style, in my way": it is mostly about fashion, but it also tells about street art, furniture, design, beauty, food...Anything that I love and that, to my point of view, makes life more beautiful.

Who inspires you? Why?  
The people who inspire me the most are those who succeded in turning their dreams into reality. Those who worked hard to reach what they wanted, but who did not forget to have fun while pursuing their dreams and goals. Anyone who manages to make a living out of their hobbies. Those are the happiest people to me. Why do they inspire me? Because I am trying to do the same, I guess :)...

Things that inspire me are everywhere: a beautifully prepared table, listening to some good music while observing the people on the street, looking at a great piece of art, the smell of the sea and the sun on my skin on a desolated beach, a great streetstyle, ... Everything gets in the same big pot that I call living a life with style. 

What is your favorite trend happening this summer?
Neon colors combined with nude tones and I will always be in love with great flat gladiators!

What does GVN mean?
It's simple :). They are my initials: Giorgia von Niederhäusern :)! When I started with the blog and was searching for a good short title which would represent me and my style I came up with the idea that nothing would do it better than my own name, so I chose to entitle the blog with my three initials. 

What is the Bohemian style that you love so much? Any tips on what I can look for?

Yes I love it :)! In my opinion, what creates the best bohemian style is a mix of inspirations from the '70s with a hippie chic touch. The idea that one should get is something like "Charlies' Angles go to Africa", or "Diana Ross + Boyscouting" ;). It's theatrical and pompous, but very natural at the same time. 

If you were invited to a fashionable event what would you wear? 

 If you want to create that touch in your outfits, the best way is to mix ethnic pieces with vintage inspired items and add some more chic touches. I would go for something short, statement jewelry, and a peculiar jacket or kimono. And of course, high heels! 

Give me three words that describe you.
A sweet tooth, a vintage shop lover, and a frank person.

Lastly, what is something that you would like others to know about you?

I am starting my business as personal stylist in Switzerland. The web page is almost done and I will certainly publish all the details on my blog once everything is ready :)!
