Well, I have officially been blogging for two whole weeks now!! I
have invested so much heart and time into this fashion and lifestyle blog I
just wanted to say I can’t thank y’all enough for all the love and support! I
am so excited to announce that during my second week of blogging I was
nominated for not only my first but also my second Liebster Award. The
beautiful Shell, from A Courageous Beauty blog and the amazing Ph.D. Student
Lauren, from Ivory Tower Chic! Thank you so much, ladies!! If you're wondering
what in the world is a Liebster Award… pretty much it’s an award that is by
bloggers, for bloggers. What an honor and blessing to receive two blogger
awards in the same week! I am so excited for this journey I think this next
year will be so much fun!! "You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you." Song of Solomon 4:7
1. What is your favorite fashion movie? (Devil Wears Prada,
Breakfast at Tiffany's,
Confessions of a Shopaholic)
Fashion bloggers think alike; Devil Wears Prada and Breakfast at
Tiffany's are my absolute favorites. I can't pick just one!
2. Heels or flats?
Heels! I'm 4'11" so they are a necessity.
3. What kind of blogging advice would you give to other new
bloggers?
Considering I've only been doing this for two weeks, it's safe to
say I'm pretty new to the blogging world. It took me six years to start a
fashion blog, so I guess my advice to anyone starting out would be don't wait
to do something you love. Take a leap of faith and do it!
4. What's your favorite hobby, aside from blogging?
Shopping! Duh! I also love being fit so you can find me in the gym
workin' up a sweat. I also love to eat... It's the reason I go to the gym
anyway!
5. What inspires you the most?
Not a what, but a who; I am inspired by the King of Kings every
minute of the day! He shows me things I never knew were possible, and with
Him I have found that anything is possible!
6. Would you rather fight one, horse-sized duck or 100
duck-sized horses?
Probably one, horse-sized duck! Plus it would be very interesting
to see a duck that large!
7. What is your favorite way to recover from a long or bad day?
I'm a firm believe that surrounding yourself with people who love
you and prayer will always help you after an excruciating day. Oh, and a
relaxing bubble bath always does the trick, too!
8. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be and
why?
I would live in England. My father is from Chelsea (hello
namesake!), and I would love nothing more than to live in a country
where I can find a man like my father to call my husband.
9. Coffee or tea?
Depends on the day! Because of my British upbringing I love tea,
but coffee is the fuel to my soul! One cup and I'm ready to seize the
day!
10. You're at Starbucks... What do you order?
-A hot, venti, 1 pump of white mocha with two shots
of espresso.
1. What is your favorite part about blogging?
Well, I've only been doing this whole blogging thing for two weeks,
but I would have to say that I love being able to help women with
their style through my personal choices! It took me six years to finally agree
to writing a blog, and I am so glad I have begun my journey to helping women
explore new horizons with fashion!
2. If you could live in any era in history, besides right now, what
would it be?
Definitely the '60s. I feel I can relate to the fashion
choices of that time period so much! I'm obsessed with Jackie O and Audrey
Hepburn. They're timeless.
3. Where is the coolest place you have ever traveled?
I would probably have to pick my namesake, Chelsea! It's
located in southwest London. It's where my father is from, so it makes
sense as to why my name is Chelsea. It's such a beautiful place!
4. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life what
would it be?
This one was a hard one, but I have to go with a burrito bowl from
Chipotle. It has my favorite rice (ever), meat, vegetables, cheese; it has a
little bit of everything so I feel it will always satisfy!
5. What is your favorite TV show to binge watch?
Grey's Anatomy! I secretly feel like a doctor when I watch it. Just
call me Chelsea Lowe, M.D.S.R (Doctor of Medicine via Shonda Rhimes)
6. Where do you hope your blog is one year from today?
I hope that a year from now, my blog is a place where women go to
find styling tips, inspiration and their inner beauty. In all honesty
though, I want it to be wherever the Lord wants it to be. If He wants it to be
larger than life, He will.
7. Where do you get your inspiration for your blog posts?
I love shopping, and when I find a great deal on something I
have to share it with the world. I also get a lot of my inspiration with
dressing for the season or holiday. For example, my favorite season is fall, so
I love sharing my style with everyone by showing them my layering
tips and color choices!
8. Who in your life has helped support your dream of having a
fashion/lifestyle blog?
My friends and family, Jesus Christ and my super
awesome photographer, Noah.
9. What company would it be your dream to collaborate with?
Collaborating with Nordstrom or J.Crew would be a dream come true! Nordstrom’s
has so many brands that I love so much i.e. Kate Spade and Tory Burch.
10. Who is your celebrity crush?
Justin Timberlake!!! *swoon*
11. If you could be any animal, what would you be and why?
I would be a leopard. They're fierce, and they always look
fabulous!
