What is the key to a successful blog? I think the key to a successful blog comes down to content and consistency. You have to give people something that interests them. You have to create pin-worthy photographs, write meaningful ideas and be authentic to who you are. Then you have to maintain. Doing this day after day builds a following. I try to look at what everyone else is doing and determine how I can be different. What is it that I offer that other people don’t, and for me, that’s my point of view. I want to evoke something from you, and usually that comes from the most raw part of me. I share my vulnerability.
How would you describe your fashion sense? My fashion sense is chic yet effortless. I never want to appear like I’m putting too much effort into it, which usually means I like basics. But I’ll stick to a rule of three. Meaning, I might be two parts pulled together, one part undone. And I really love hats. My style changes often, depending on my mood, my life. It’s in the moment.
Go-to outfit? My go-to outfit is a pair of skinny jeans, my boots, a cool leather jacket and hat.
