I recently had the pleasure of sending some questions to my fellow blogger, the wonderful Miss Kiki over at Dress Forms Pins And Needles and she graciously answered them. Be on the lookout readers for you, yes you, will also be highlighted. You never know when I will spring it on you so be prepared. *insert evil laugh here* Enough of my craziness; on to the interview.

Name/Blogger Nic: Kiki
Blog Name: Dress Forms. Pins. And Needles
Age: Between 3 1/2 and 103
Country: United States

Why did you start your blog?
To tell you the truth, I really only started it so I wouldn't have to leave anonymous comments but then I started to enjoy it. I had a blog before but it was a bust and I didn't really know what to do with it. I put more time and effort into Dress Forms so I think that is why it is a success, at least I think so :)

What inspires you?
I think people inspire me. I love going on the street and seeing people showing their style in a candid way. Although in my town it's mostly Abercombie and Holister! So my inspiration lately comes from clothes themselves. You can see a great pair of shoes or a great top and think wow, this and this would go great together and then you are inspired well at least I am. LOL.

Favourite designer(s):
My all time favourite designer hands down is Christian Dior but Chanel comes in a close second.

Top 10 favourite/ must-have items:
In no particular order
. My Ipod
. My cellphone
. My covergirl compact
. My contacts
. Curl X gel hydrating something or other
. A good book (Harry Potter ranks supreme)
. My computer
. Softlips or chapstick lipbalm
. Hair Straightener
. My old avon comb

As for unmaterialistic things, my family and friends.

What's your best purchase?
I don't really have one. Maybe my first Dooney and Bourke. It was in, the it style and was very tiny, a little flap wristlet. It was $50. I remember thinking this is ridiculous but I bought it and still use it today.

Describe your personal style.
I am always put together, but I love jeans with dressy shirts. You probably would never see me in a plain t-shirt because I don't really like the shape of them. I am more of a babydoll top and polo type person although I am not very preppy. I love old Hollywood glamour so I try to incorporate that in with my own everyday style. For instance, yesterday I had on dark wash jeans, an almost silk material green stripe tank top and a white cardigan with huge buttons on it. So I guess that shows my style the most. I like simple but impressionable pieces and putting them together.

When did you start to develop your sense of style?
Probably around 10. My mom dressed me until then. Even though I was still trying to work out the quirks. I had always worn uniforms, so when I started public school I didn't really know what to wear so I mainly stuck to jeans. But now I would say I have a sense of style that almost no one around me has, which is great because I will never me caught in the same thing as someone. =)

What are your fayourite stores?
Target, Urban Outfitters, Old Navy, Anthropologie and the list goes on and on. If it's a store, I will like it. I remember when I went through the limted to phase... Good times.

What fashion rule do you live by?
Well not the whole white after labour day. I always do the take off the last thing I put on when accessorising. So I guess, keep it simple and eloquent to keep from going overboard beacuse keeping it simple can sometimes make a real statement but do go crazy at times.

Thanks alot to Kiki for being my first interviewee.
Hope you guys enjoyed it and make sure you visit her site

Peace and love
Fashion Ivy
