If I could say I loved one thing about blogging it definitely would have to be Style Stalk Friday. I thought about having people submit their entries for consideration, but it came to me that it would be super fun to hunt for them instead. I have featured tons of fashionsitas on the blog and I can truly say that this week's feature really made me realize why I do it the way that I do. Evelin is a fellow blogger and style maven in her own right. She caught my eye while patrolling (As I like to call it) the gram for fresh faces, but not only that someone who inspired me and I knew could inspire my readers as well.
Evelin is not only a blogger and an amazing fashionista she is also a Mommy. There is something about a woman who understands the importance of motherhood, even in the most fashionable of days you still have to be a mother FIRST! So it could have been a combination of her bubbling personality portrayed through her pictures coupled with the pictures of her adorable son that sealed the deal for me.
When did you fall in love with fashion?
There are some things we are naturally born loving or have a knack for. For me, its fashion and interior design, or whatever involves using my creativity. I discovered my passion for fashion when I was about three years old. As little girl I loved going into my mom and my aunt’s closet and put on their sequined dresses, and sparkly high heels. Playing dress up was always my favorite, and still is even ‘til this day. I can spend hours in the closet looking through clothes and trying to style them in different ways. I love everything about fashion. I love to wear it, style it, organize it, design it, and even decorate with it.
Who/What are your fashion inspirations?
I believe that inspiration is all around us. I am inspired by art, architecture, interior design, fashion magazines, fashion bloggers and their personal style, music, food, nature, different cultures…just to name a few. I feel like fashion and interior design go hand in hand. When it comes to decorating or interior design I find myself drawing inspiration from fashion and vice versa. Sometimes I style an outfit inspired by the color scheme or style of a room…you’d be surprised to know the places where I find inspiration. Staying in tune with your surroundings and paying attention to the details is always important when looking for inspiration.
I am inspired by my mother, who is my shopping partner, my Godmother because she is a fearless fashionista. I also love the elegant and classic style of Coco Chanel, and the fun and very eclectic style of Fran Drescher as Ms. Fine on the show the “The Nanny.”
How would you describe your style?
I can say that my style is eclectic, but that answer wouldn't be enough. For those who know me, they would tell you I am experimental and adventurous when it comes to fashion, design, or anything I do in life in general. I find so much joy in discovering new ways to do things or wear a piece of clothing. For me, it’s all about versatility and finding a balance. I love mixing the traditional with the modern, giving the old new life, and giving the new some character. I may dress in a bohemian outfit one day, with a classy sophisticated outfit, or maybe something edgy, or minimalist. These looks may all be very different, but there’s one thing that they all have in common. There is a soft, feminine touch to every single one of my looks. So if I have to name my style, I would say my style is ladylike.
I want to know what things inspire you? Don't feel limited to just style.
