Take Note: February's International Blogger of The Month

February's International Blogger of the Month is a girl who truly is one of my favourite bloggers, Kate from Postcards From. Whenever I need a bit of inspiration or just want to look at some pretty pictures, Kate's blog always has something to offer. Her style is so wonderful and feminine and she's one of the nicest girls I've had the pleasure to talk to. Can you tell I really adore Kate? 



How did you first get involved with blogging?
I have always had a fascination for fashion blogging. When I was in Highschool I remember racing home after class just to go on the computer to see the handful of blogs that I had bookmarked on my computer. I thought it was such a creative outlet for girls to be able to express themselves through their love of fashion. I was sitting at a friends house earlier last year when she just told me to start one of my own. Ofcourse, I thought she was crazy, but secretly I knew I really wanted to! I did my first outfit post as a bit of a joke. I got my boyfriend Nathan to take the pictures and crossed my fingers that I would get atleast one comment. I didnt get just one but I got a few comments, and since then I just never stopped! 


Describe your personal style.
   You know, this is a hard one because my personal style is literally all over the place. I love girly feminine pieces, but vintage is also so dear to my heart. I love wearing items that have been preloved in another era. 98% of the time you will find me in tights. Sometimes I even wear tights to bed! My personal style is always evolving and changing...and I love that!




Who are your style icons?
Oh gosh, this list could go on forever. Audrey Hepburn was such a babe of her time and anyone who knows me knows that I am borderline obsessed with her. I will always love black dresses and pearls thanks to her. I am in love with Alexa Chung (I want her entire closet!) and also have a soft spot for the blogger Betty Autier of Le Blog De Betty - shes the reason I started wearing heels!


Where do you get your inspiration from?
Absolutely all over the place! I love to people watch, so whether I am stopped at a red light or sitting in a restaurant, I love seeing how other people have pieced together their clothing. I have been known to be inspired by vegetables and fruit at the grocery store. When I see different colors together I get a lot of inspiration for my outfits. And ofcourse, fellow style bloggers. Im seriously blown away by some of my blogging friends with how gorgeous they are and just rock everything they wear!



How does where you live affect your style?
I just moved home from Australia to Canada and definately felt a sense of change with my wardrobe! I wore obviously alot of shorts and tanktops in Australia, but I have worn dresses non stop since December. I love being able to mix dresses with big thick cardigan's and scarves. I live in a pretty small city so everyone is very casual with their style. I definately get a bit of weird looks when I am out for how I dress! 



What's your favourite thing about where you live and what was your favourite thing about Australia too?
Great question! I love Canada so so much. I could go on forever about my favorite things about this nation, but I think the main thing I love about where I live is the seasons. The city that I lived in in Australia was basically hot 95% of the year. I love being in Canada and watching the weather change. I havent experienced a Spring or Autumn for almost three years, so I am SO excited about that. My favorite thing about Australia is probably the people. Australia is such a relaxed and easy going country, even when you live there you always feel like you are on vacation! Its amazing.




What's your favourite book, movie and band?
Oooh, tough question! Its so hard to pick just one. My favorite book has always been 'Are you there God? Its me Margaret' just because I am such a sucker for Judy Bloom! Edward Scissor Hands has always and will always be my favorite movie. I find Edward so dreamy (is that weird?)..im always rooting for the underdog! Favorite band? Eeep....I would have to say Death Cab for Cutie. I know, I know, typical...but they dont have one song I dont like! 


What would be your perfect Saturday?
The perfect Saturday...would include a nice long sleep in, huge breakfast with lots of fresh fruit, a walk with my mom and dad, a family dinner with my dads famous salmon, and an early night in with a bubble bath and romance movie! Ah, perfection!



If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?
I would go to Paris and never come back. Hehe, I have always wanted to go to Europe, so if I could go anywhere in the world I wouldnt even think twice about it.


What's one fashion faux pas you secretly love?
Ive grown a fondness of (gasp!) short-alls. Yes, short overalls. Im nervous to see how my love towards them pans out this Spring. And also...the black and brown combo. Whoever made that fashion faux pas is ridiculous..it can work, you just need to know how to put it all together!




If you could live in one movie, which would it be?
Pride and Prejudice! Mr Darcy is so charming and gorgeous, and I love the era and setting. I think that would be an absolute dream come true! Runner up? Star Wars. How epic would that be?!




Any tips for aspiring personal style bloggers?
Always stay true to yourself. Its so easy to be swayed and start to think "I need to buy new clothes! I need to start dressing more like her, and change my entire blog layout and get a new camera so I can have amazing photos" but at the end of the day, your true followers follow you because they are interested in YOU. Another thing I try to always remember is to have fun. If you are a style blogger and suddenly your blog has become a chore and taking outfit shots isnt fun at all, its time to say au revoir to blog land..because its just not worth it. You need to love what you are doing! Always respond to emails, tweets, comments (as much as you can!) and show your readers that they mean just as much to you as you do to them! And...always smile!! :)
