My Blogger Interview!

12/10/12 | blogging

I had promised myself I was not going to deviate from my 12 Days of Christmas for the first 12 days of this month but something happened that is too exciting not to share! This past weekend I was interviewed by Sid from Understanding Fashion, such an honor! On his blog he writes about everything related to fashion and one of his projects is to interview people in the field of fashion to give his readers a first hand glimpse of the person behind the blog.    

You can read the article HERE but if you do not have the time here are my favorite excerpts and photos: 
“From her initiation into fashion to sharing shopping secrets of New York, Kelly of Sparkles and Shoes has some interesting things to share. I got to interview Kelly for this blog this Saturday, over brunch at Le Pain Quotidien in the West Village, in New York.
Kelly is a recent college graduate from Georgetown in Washington DC and has since moved to New York for her job. Even though her blog, Sparkles and Shoes is relatively new, it is pretty popular already in some niche fashion blog-o-spheres. In addition to being a fashion blogger, Kelly works in advertising, was an avid swimmer through college, loves photography and travel.”

Kelly Sparkles and Shoes

” My blog originally started out with my friends as recommendations of products. I also decided not to use my last name for privacy reasons, changed my Twitter from my last name to my middle name โ€“ I use Kelly Ann instead of my last name and I really started promoting it through Twitter. A lot of fashion bloggers follow me and I also participated in two group giveaways and got a lot of readers and membership through that. Iโ€™ve also done a few guest posts with other bloggers that I admire.”

” I would describe my style as a combination of investment pieces like pea coats and high quality, well made boots and less expensive more trendy things. I also believe fashion extends not only to your wardrobe but also to your jewelry, hair and makeup. When putting together a look I try to keep all of these things in mind to create a cohesive package fit for the event or situation. For accessories, including jewelry and bags, my favorites are Michael Kors and Kate Spade. For make up, I am a Sephora junkie, especially NARS and Urban Decay.” 

Honestly, go check out the interview HERE!

    Nice interview! That was one of my main debates when I started the blog- privacy by adding my last name or not. In the end, I decided to disclose it because it is something I want potential employers to notice.

    Sincerely,
    Sabrina
