7. Why did you start your blog [and when]?
Just for fun! 5-6 months ago..I always loved fashion, but since I was a child I played sport at a competitive level, which means that I spent most of the time wearing sweatsuits! ;) but since I quite to compete, finished studies and started to work, I had the chance and the time to get closer to fashion..and isn't fashion also about experimenting? Then I might say that I start this blog to experience my own style.
8. Do you think that your blog will help you in your further career?
Probably nope ! :)
9. How did you choose your blog title?
There are two reasons for this name:
One is that..for most of the people the "coffee time/break" it's a little daily pleasure, and I believe that often are the little things that brighten up life and, all in all, make a big difference. And so...as the coffee is a daily pleasure, I hope that also my blog can be a daily light-hearted little space for who enjoys style.
The second reason is that I love to match different styles in contrast to each others (most of all masculineVSfeminine style, for example boysh trousers and high heels)...so I paired coffee, which is dark and bitter, with blooms, that are colored and sweet-scented !
10. How do you take your pictures?
my boyfriend is my lovely photographer.
11. Your favourite blogs?
I really like Karla's Closet and Garance Doré.
12. What does fashion mean to you?
I think that often fashion is the way each one reveals a bit of his self to the world...at least it's like this for me.
13. Do you think that a lot of people
are often too superficial? [cause I think that the world's getting too superficial]
Well..yes. I think that life is getting hectic, everything run so fast and people lose sight of true values. Basically people are getting selfish thus superficial.
14. Which city is the most fashionable city?
London for street style and Paris for its chic "attitude"!
15. What's your personal "To Do List" for the next years/your further life?
A great journey to a far away land. I'm so fascinated by other cultures.
16. Your personal key pieces ?
white shirt, jeans and hats
17. Do you agree with all the "trends" or are there some things that you would never ever wear?
I'm not so in love with ripped tights. Although I saw some nice combo!
18. What's your favourite piece of clothing?
Lately...a camel blazer
19. Your favourite brands/shops?
Zara, DKNY
20. Do you think that there are a lot of clothing differences between Europe & America?
America is the home of the"ready to wear" philosophy, while Europe is wellknown for its Haute Couture catwalks... Americans have a casual in vogue style, European are easy chic ...I really like both.
