A chat with Lexi...

Heya...

I'm trying something slightly different for this post, as the following is an interview with a gorgeous blogger friend of mine called Lexi.  I've been wanting to do it for ages, I hope you like it! :)

It's a beautiful April evening, as the sun slowly begins to set over chiswick common, the sun peaking out behind the church opposite me. However, clutching a freshly squeezed orange juice next to me, is Lexi, a teen style blogger who inspired me to start this blog. Decked in a flowing skirt and velvet tee, she sits happily in the sunshine, oval sunnies perched on her face. 

Would u rather have a new pair of shoes or a new handbag?
UGH it's so hard to choose! Probably a new pair of shoes, because I wear my Kanken backpack constantly, I don't really change it. Maybe a new pair of boots, combat boots or something. I'm much more of a shoe person.

When did you start blogging?
Almost two years ago now, which is kinda insane! I did my first post two Februarys ago but my official blog was June 2013.

At this point a dog wanders over to investigate my dripping ice cream, which I quickly move out the way to stop it from getting slobbered before its too late. Lexi giggles as the owner runs over to retrieve their dog who has so cheekily wondered off.

What do you most enjoy blogging about?
The main focus is fashion, but I really enjoy posting about art and culture. I don't post so often about cultural trips, but I really enjoy going to get a new perspective for my art. Art is so linked to fashion, as they're both creative and they are also always influenced by each other within different eras. Everything always ties in together really well.

 So if you could choose one era to live in, which would it be?
UGH that's so difficult, there are so many and they're all SO different! I think it would probably be the 60s, as everything visually would be cool and the music would be amazing! At the moment I'm loving the 70s, (I nod my head vigorously as the 70s vibe is one I adore!) so it would have to be between those two I think. 

A full on conversation starts about our shared love of 70s flares, although if I wrote it all up, you would all be reading for hours. Can I just say, THEY ARE AMAZING!!

What do you think your summer staple will be this summer?
Sunglasses definitely, they're important-I just bought a new pair actually! Let me think..Hmmm... PLAYSUITS! I love playsuits, I even wear them in the winter. They're great because you can just dance and move around in them...amazing for concerts and festivals. Super comfy aswell!

Eventually we agree that it's slowly getting slightly chilly and make our way back to the bustop, sunnies shielding our eyes from the last of the afternoon sun. 

Lexi herself, although in early February last year.
