LIEBSTER AWARD X 11 RANDOM FACTS

I was nominated by Mercy from Busy and Fab. So basically, you have to mention the person/s who nominated you, answer their questions, post 11 random facts about yourself, choose 11 blogs that inspire you, and of course, create 11 questions for them too. Down below are questions asked by Mercy. Here we go!

LIEBSTER AWARD

 1.    What do you do in your spare time?

In my spare time I watch Inspirational videos to start my day or week, do anything related to blogging (prep outfits for future blog post, take pictures, edit pictures, write future blog post, reply comments, stop by other blogs, reply emails and so on), I also do school work and create time to talk to friends/family, oh and I sing and dance (life is short).

2.    How would you describe your personal style and is there a person who is a fashion inspiration to you?

My style is so versatile. It’s also a media for self-expression and as such I have realized that my style changes and evolves over time, also depending on location and basically how I’m feeling at a particular point in time. When it comes to style I’m unpredictable, however, factors in my style that remain constant are comfort, simplicity, modesty and colors (I love incorporating colors into my outfit) I think it’s my signature look. My fashion Inspiration since I was a child is my mum, seeing her look divine in every outfit without even trying inspired me to always look decent. However as a style blogger I'd say Style Pantry is my style inspiration, as I see myself dressing similar to her when I get married.

3.    What inspired you to start your blog?

Looking good and well put together is one of my many passions I exhibit on a daily basis and I do get compliments on how I dress and also get asked about my outfits. I always make sure they are documented on Ig or fb, but I needed a bigger platform to truly express myself and then came the idea of blogging and it’s a risk I’d never regret. So I’d say the drive in me inspired me to start my own blog.

4.    What is your proudest moment?

If you mean my proudest moment as a blogger, I’d have to say late June 2016 when I was up all night setting up my blog all by myself from scratch for a week and finally seeing it turn into what I envisioned it to be, that is one of the proudest moment for me as a blogger.

But if it’s just a general question, I’d say every single day of my life is a proud moment for me, as I try to be a better person in all aspects of my life.

5.    Is blogging your profession or just a hobby?

For the purpose of this question I’d say blogging is my hobby, but have always said blogging is my passion and someday hopefully I’d love to turn it into a profession.

6.    What is the biggest difference in your life post-blogging?

Hmmmm!! I’m not really a fan of heels; I just wear them for the purpose of blogging, to occasions and events. But in my everyday life it’s the last thing you’d see me wear. It slows me down, maybe its cause I’m a student.

7.    What do you like the most, Clothes, bags or shoes?

Clothes!!!! I can’t emphasize enough on this. Having decent outfit/s is one of the key to looking decent and sophisticated. Clothes, then I can go for shoes.

8.    How much time do you spend blogging?

There is no in-between; I literally can spend a whole week blogging and the next it’s like I have no blog. But on a serious note blogging is really time consuming, like I expressed in No 1. One of the misconceptions of bogging is that it’s so easy. Well I thought so too until I launched The Style Fanatic and started managing it. If you want to open a blog make sure it’s a passion of yours and not something itching you to do cause everyone is doing it.

9.    How do you envision your blog to be in five years’ time?

Well branded. By God’s grace

10.    Which do you like more, shopping in the physical store or online?

Definitely shopping online why you ask, it’s because the advantages outweigh the advantages of shopping in the physical. I’m not a fan of standing in a queue just to try on an outfit I probably wouldn’t buy, or try looking for an attendant to ask them if a certain outfit comes in a size S. Online it’s vivid, out of stock or in stock, plus you get to eat while shopping online, It helps with good fashion decision making. Try it out and thank me later.

11.    What would you say that is the greatest satisfaction of being a fashion blogger?

Now this question is really one of my favorite amongst all. The greatest satisfaction of being a fashion blogger for me is sincerely seeing my hard work and efforts being appreciated by a lot of people from around the world. People relating to the content I put out really do make my day and it brings me so much satisfaction than food.
