In only 5 words describe what readers can expect from your blog:

What inspired you to start blogging?

 I’ve wanted to start a blog for a few years now. I have always loved fashion and wanted to be a part of the community. I worked for 5 years in a buying office and then recently made the switch to healthcare.  Since then I have yearned to do something in fashion. I also need a creative outlet to improve my writing and make friends with like-minded people.

Do you ever suffer from Blogger’s Block & if so how do you overcome it?

I haven’t experience blogger’s block yet, but I’ve only been blogging for a month and a half. That’s why I constantly have drafts started to give me some direction.

 Go for it and write what you love. The rest will come with time. Don’t focus on getting things perfect, you will learn as you go. Write often and post regularly.
