Bonjour Blogger: Steffy Pros And Cons
I’m so excited to announce the start of another regular feature I’ll be having, or “Fancy Features” as I prefer to call them! Meet Steffy AKA “Steffy Pros and Cons“, as I interview her and recreate her favorite outfit polyvore-style for your shopping pleasure!
♥ WHAT ARE YOUR THREE WARDROBE STAPLES?
STEFFY: A perfect jumper, a polka dotted dress and jean shorts that look great with everything.
♥ YOUR OUTFITS ARE UNEXPECTED BUT PERFECT, HOW DO YOU GO ABOUT CREATING AN OUTFIT?
STEFFY: It varies outfit to outfit. Some days I just grab something and everything else falls into place. Others, my boyfriend watches me take off and put on 8,000,000 different things until I find something that I like. It depends on how inspired I am feeling. On those “disheveled” days, I usually just click around lookbook.nu or calivintage tumblr and find inspirations to help me feel inspired again!
♥ DO YOU HAVE LONG-TERM GOALS FOR BLOGGING? WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE EXPECTATIONS?
STEFFY: My goal is to just keep doing it, because it makes me feel happy inside. Also, I hope my store grows because I LOVE running it and sharing my finds with people all over the world. In the future, career wise, I want to work as a visual merchandiser at a company I relate to doing either window displays, or anything “visual” related within the store.
♥ WHAT DO YOU CONSIDER THE KEY FACTOR IN CREATING A SUCCESSFUL BLOG?
STEFFY: For me, always the pictures. It doesn’t matter how great an outfit is – if it is photographed poorly, then it won’t stand out. But I minored in photography and am drawn toward lovely photos. Blogs like wishwishwish and the littlest things that always have interesting photographs are the most appealing to me :)
♥ BESIDES BLOGGING AND FASHION, IS THERE PERHAPS A QUIRKY HOBBY/INTEREST OF YOURS?
STEFFY: Well, thrifting of course, but something else sort of weird is RUNNING! I love to run (I know, I’m odd!). I try to run as much as I can. If too much time passes and I don’t run, I get this weird over-energy and my brain gets a tad clogged.
♥ LAST QUESTION! WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE DESERT?
STEFFY: MMMM Oh, it always changes but right now I would have to say candy corn or pumpkin pie!

I’ve been a fan of Steffy for quite a while, and was truly giddy about setting up an interview with her! She’s a genius when it comes to pairing separates and colors together, so I am definitely hoping to take something away from this interview for myself, and don’t be afraid to join me! Also, don’t forget to stop by Steffy’s amazing blog and shop, where you can find more inspiring outfits like these.
What a fantastic interview – and style! I love the Polyvore set you put together! (I’m a Polyvore junkie.) I am NOT a fashionista, but I love reading style blogs. ^_^ I will definitely click through and give Steffy a visit!
Such a fun idea to put an example outfit together! She always has the best outfits, love her style! Glad to hear even super stylish bloggers sometimes put on a million outfits & not just me : )

I know, right! I’ll clean our bedroom, but completely TRASH it the next day putting together an outfit, thus creating a vicious cycle. Seriously, it looks as though someone robbed our house, or perhaps a tornado swept through. LOL
