a fashion blogger explains it all...



Get to know one of my favorite bloggers of all time. you may know her and her rad blog already, since after all she is pretty famous within the blogosphere with over 1500 followers. here a few things i bet you DON'T know and are pretty lucky to get the chance to learn more about this amazing lady fashionista. (oh and p.s. if you truly seek HER style, you can shop her closet, how awesome is that?)

meet Caylee of if you seek style.


What are the last three things you bought? a black faux fur snood, another second pair of black faux leather skinny pants, and a slice of cheese pizza.
What’s the best thing that’s happened to you since you started blogging? i've made so many friends from around the entire globe! it's amazing.

If you had to explain your style in x + x + x = me what would it be? simple + chic + edgy.

What do you do full time? i'm a sales associate at h&m :)

Favorite editorial of all time? this is a toughie...my favorite model is daria werbowy, so it's really a tie between "noctambule" - daria for vogue paris may 2007, shot terry richardson and style by emmanuelle alt (love the glitz and glamour with the bedroom eyes and undone hair), and daria for dossier journal spring 2010, which shows candid shots of the down-to-earth tomboy model i love in her beautiful nyc loft.


What are the 5 items you find yourself wearing over and over again? black skinny jeans, black ankle boots, oversized button down blouses, faux leather jackets and my favorite tweed boyfriend blazer.


Do you have a secret style weapon? know what you like, know what works for you, and stick with it. shopping is easier and buying clothing to update your wardrobe is much less expensive when you edit down your purchases to things that match your personal style; items you'll wear again and again.

Girl crush? abbey lee kershaw.


Best vintage score ever? eBay!

Favorite designers and why? helmut lang, alexander wang, acne, isabel marant and pamela love, to name a few. they create edgy, wearable pieces that would fill up my wardrobe if i had the money.

Favorite high street shopping spot? h&m, asos & urban outfitters. and topshop when i save up a little! if only zara would come to indy....

What are you currently reading? nothing at the moment; i'm on the hunt for my next good read.


Favorite piece of jewelry that you own? hammered silver knuckle ring from fashionology.nl


What’s the last song that was played on your iPod? the black keys - everlasting light. and right before that was thunder kiss '65 - white zombie.


Who has your dream job? tara vasev. she is the e-commerce director/merchandising assistant for alexander wang. i'd love to do anything that mixes fashion and the internet.


The place you love going most where you live? home! lol. i'm such a homebody.


Any advice for girls wanting to start a blog? do it for the right reasons, i.e. to share your passion and to make friends who love the same things you do. also, update regularly, get a twitter/chictopia/lookbook/facebook for added exposure, connect with your fans, and just be yourself! people will love you for who you are.




Something people would be surprised to know about you? i'm actually quite shy and reserved! it takes a while for me to come out of my shell, but when i do, i'm a sarcastic goofball.


Your idea of fashion heaven? a day spent browsing my favorite blogs, reading my favorite magazines, and ordering a bunch of stuff online! nothing better than receiving a package of new clothes in the mail.



Morning Must have? diet coke.


Style Icon? kate lanphear, kate moss, kate bosworth, caroline blomst from carolinesmode.com/caroline, elin kling fromstylebykling.tv4.se. oh and also tons of models like ruby aldridge and freja.


Favorite place in the world? in my bedroom with my boyfriend and my cat.


Coffee or tea? neither. diet coke :)


Blackberry or iphone? iPhone.
