Take Note: February's UK Blogger of the Month

For February, I decided to share with you the wonderful Becky-May of The Flower Girl. Her style is a lovely, vintage mix that showcases British style at it's best. She's currently setting up her own vintage shop and is tracking her exciting progress on the blog. She was kind enough to do an interview with me.




How did you first get involved with blogging?

I first started a diary blog and from there I discovered style blogs and learnt more about the 'blogosphere'. It was about a year after that when I started The Flower Girl, and I'm so pleased I did!
Describe your personal style.
My personal style is very much vintage inspired - it flips from 60s to 70s. My signature pieces are longish floral dresses, plain black ankle boots or mary janes, and my trusty wicker basket! I also love mod style dresses, flared jeans and peasant/gypsy style tops too!
Who are your style icons?
 I find this hard to answer because I've never really had one solid icon. I love girls who are brave with fashion and always experimenting. I really like how Isabel Lucas dresses, but I wouldn't say she was my icon
Where do you get your inspiration from?



I get inspiration from everywhere! Blogs and films inspire my style and in my personal life I am inspired by travel and other cultures and my wonderful family! 

What's one fashion faux pas you secretly love?



Good question! Um, socks with sandals? But I think they are so far past un-cool they've gone back to cool again!

Do you think where you live affects your style?



Well, I live in Britain and it's colder and rainier here than a lot of places, but my style stays pretty much the same whatever the seaosn. I still wear summery dresses in winter - I just have to bundle up under layers of cardis and coats! So I suppose it does a little (but only when I venture out!
What's your favourite band, book and movie?



My favourite band is The Beach Boys - their music lights up any cloudy day, my favourite book is Breakfast At Tiffany's, and my favourite films are The Graduate, 500 Days of Summer and Angus, Thongs and Perfect Snogging!

If you could live inside one movie, which would it be?



It would have to be Breakfast At Tiffany's - the party scene in her apartment to be precise! 
If you could be anywhere in the world right now, where would you be?



I would want to be back in Spain, sitting on our old balcony in the evening sun, and looking out at the ocean.

What's your ideal Saturday?



Sleeping until late, then packing a picnic, heading off to the beach and staying until the sun goes down on a long, summer's day!
Where do you hope to be in five years?



 I hope to be running a succesful business and all around enjoying life!

Any tips for aspiring personal style bloggers?



Take time to read other blogs first before starting - it's good to know what sort of things are posted and popular! Um, find a good spot to take pictures easily in your house or garden or somewhere. Most importantly enjoy it! It's so much fun!
