I had the honor to do an interview with Kate and Sam - the
bloggers behind the cute blog "Pretty Dresses
in The Laundry". Here's the result:
- What inspired you to start your blog?
- It's hard to say but at the time I started my blog, I'd been
reading other blogs and thought I could give something too. So I
started it when I was... 13 years? It seems like decades ago and my
style was so much different back then. It's really fun to look back
at and see how much I've changed.
- Are you surprised my the success of your
blog?
- Very! I never thought it would get this big.
I am so grateful for it to be where it is now! I praise each and
everyone of my followers. Without them, the blog would be nothing.
I receive such amazing feedback on the whole thing and it makes me
so happy.
- How would you describe your style?
- That's a thought one! I think I'll say
simple, classic, basic with a twist. I wear a lot of layers and I
love mixing materials. The biggest quest for me is to wear simple
outfits without them ending up boring.
- What is your favourite item in your wardrobe at the
moment?
- Right now it must be a pair of black Acne
jeans. I use them so much and they just fit perfectly. Besides them
I'd say my classic Chanel bag. It goes with everything, really!
Such a classic designer piece immediately spices up even the most
basic of outfits!
- What are you predicting to be in fashion this
season?
- I'm really bad at trend kind of things. I usually just wear
whatever I want - of course affected by trends, because we all are.
Trends I like right now are the really, really minimalistic items
and fur with knits. Well, that didn't really answer your question,
but...
- What has been the best experience that has come from
your blog?
- There's been so many! Fashionweek, blogger
events, being in Stockholm Streetstyle, meeting readers in real
life etc. A lot of great moments I'll never forget, and I can't
chose just one!
- Where do you get your inspiration for your outfits
from?
- Many different places - many of my friends
have great style. Also girls on the streets of Copenhagen have
great style - that's a really big source f inspiration to me. Blogs
and fashion magazines inspire me as well as films and music
videos.
- Who are your favourite designers?
- I would say Acne as the rest of Copenhagen's
teenage girls! Also I love Karl Lagerfeld for his classic
silhouettes and becoming cuts!
- Do you have an advice for any budding fashionistas or
bloggers?
- Be yourself! Don't just mechanically follow
the hipster idea of a perfect blogger. Do things as you want to and
don't be afraid to be different and stand out a little. And give
yourself time! Your blog will not become big in two days - it takes
time! And hey, enjoy the ride, it's fun!
