Erika Marie of fashion chalet, has always been fascinated with the world of Fashion -whether styling herself as a child, or writing about her influences today. She is an influential blogger with great style and a ton of followers all over the world.
Why you started fashionchalet?
I needed an outlet to get all of my Fashion musings out. A place to share my inspirations via collages I enjoy making, the outfits I put together and wear along with favorite songs and foods.
Greatest inspirations or influences?
- Audrey Hepburn, MK Olsen, Alexa Chung,
- movies, tv, nature and music.
Favorite designers and brands?
- Anna Sui for its bohemian luxe,
- Chanel for the modern classic,
- YSL for independence,
- and Miu Miu for the whimsy.
Other favorite sites/blogs?
I frequent editorial/photo blogs daily. I’m constantly inspired by models off duty and high fashion shoots. I love to drink them in via sites like
- Studded Hearts,
- Knightcat,
- TFS forums
- and Fashion Gone Rogue.
Challenges of what you do?
Making time for photo shoots and dealing with the weather.
Tips for anyone thinking about starting their own blog now?
Make it your own. As long as you love what you are doing and taking pride in it, so will others. Also making sure to answer comments and emails in a timely manner.
Anything else you’d like to share with our audience?
I would love to take Fashion Chalet front row at Fashion Week. My dream is to breath in the collections, front and center, taking notes and living in the moment.
