I’ve seen this style Q&A post on quite a few blogs and I thought it would be a nice idea for me to do one too, so you guys can find out a little bit more about me! I think the more personal you get with your readers, the better...

1.What made you start a blog?
I was working as a buyers admin for an outdoor retailer, buying technical rucksacks, my job was very "un fashion" and all about practicality. So i wanted to create a space to be able to share my love of fashion, shopping and all things pretty, so i started the Glitter Fashionista.
2.When you can't think of anything to wear, what's your go-to outfit?
I will always reach for a pair of black skinny jeans - they make me feel comfortable and i know i can throw on with an oversized jumper and a pair of fabulous shoes. I tend to go for classic pieces that i know suit my shape and then add a touch of quirky through accessories, maybe adding a fedora or bold necklace.
3.How would you describe your own personal style?
Classic with a touchy of quirky and good accessories.
4.Where do you find the inspiration for your blog posts?
Social media, Pinterest/instagram/blogs and the world around me - i love nothing more than sitting in a coffee shop for an hour and watching people walk by going about their lives. Street style is one of the things i am always drawn to and i think really shows how fashion is personalised during everyday life.
5.Do you have any favorite stores or brands?
Topshop and ASOS for everyday pieces. Kate Spade for the investment pieces, i especially love their handbags. I have also recently developed a love for the Cambridge satchel company and cannot wait to get my hands on one of their new cloud satchels.
6.Favourite item of clothing in your wardrobe?
A little white lace dress i bought three years ago from Dorothy Perkins. I love the way it fits and the intricate lace detailing makes it look way more expensive that it was. As soon as the spring weather warms up it will be back out of the wardrobe.
7.Most treasured items in your wardrobe?
My two Mulberry handbags. I was so happy when i finally was able to purchase pieces from my favourite British brand. I have a small Roxanne in dark tan leather, which i bought second hand from my boss (with my first ever bonus) and a cream tweed Tillie satchel which came from the York store in the January sales.
8.If you had to shop in one store where would it be?
Selfridges - so many of my favourite brands under one roof. Sophia Webster, Kate Spade, Mulberry and even Topshop for the basics. Plus a whole lot more to discover and the store itself is a delight to visit, so much history and a beautiful building.
