    Such a cool and unique post! I’ve been following you about a year and love how you combine fashion with everyday life!

    Where are you from? Puerto Rican from the Bronx, NY

    What do you do for a living? HR Manager in the Music Industry and Life Style Blogger for Leather and Curls

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 28

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? Getting a glimpse into someone’s life, personal style and their way of thinking. I’m also drawn to bloggers who are transparent and real about their personal journey; good, bad and ugly

    Least favorite? Sponsored post or blogs that aren’t consistent with scheduling or overall style. I always know when there’s a brand campaign because at least ten blogger are writing about it. I find many blogs are pretty surface level and everything is “perfect or fabb.”

    Do you have children? want children? No children at the moment, but I would like them maybe later on in life aka late thirties

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? Amsterdam! I love their carefree society

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? A good slice of pizza

    What’s your favorite movie? Dirty Dancing

    Favorite TV show? Fixer Upper!

      I am from Los Angeles, moved to NY in February for work.

      I work for a luxury-for-loan (RTW and accessories) fashion startup called Armarium!

      I am 25.

      Reading and learning about other people’s lives is interesting to me. How people talk about their life experiences and interests.

      It’s not my least favorite, but it will make me less likely to read it- when a blog is focused on one thing that I don’t relate to at all.

      I definitely want children, like yesterday. Can’t wait for that part of my life.

      I feel like that is what I am doing now in NY, I have always wanted to live here. I love LA and definitely plan on going back eventually. I don’t think I would like to live anywhere else, but traveling to new cities for more than a few days is ideal.

      If I could eat only one food for the rest of my life it would be sushi. So many combinations and the best food in the world.

      I really, really love Clueless and have no problem re-watching it over and over again.

      Currently, Shameless. Of all time, Friends.

      Thank you! 🙂

    • Love it!!

      Absolutely d’accord!

    • Me encanta!

      As a Boricua too, (but I can be your mom!) agree in most of your comments, specially about the blog world. The only thing is I been following BB since her origins. Exitos!

  • Melissa | Suitcase + HEels

    I’m currently based in St. John’s, NL, Canada. Beautiful place in the summer, but that only lasts about two months of the year.

    I’m a web designer/developer working at a small digital marketing firm here in Newfoundland.

    Turned 37 this year but in my head I feel like I’m stuck at 28. lol So I’m always second guessing whether an outfit (or a man!) is age appropriate. 😛

    I love being inspired by blogs to change something in my life. Whether it’s a new way to decorate, dress, exercise, travel, or shop. I don’t always have time to read all the blogs I like though.

    No children at the moment (still single). If it happens, it happens, If not, I’ll learn to be ok with that.

    “If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be?” Hmm… tough one. I don’t think I could pick just one. I’d like to spend about 3-6 months in a place and then try on another one. Need to balance my love of cities and beaches.

    “If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?” Tacos. If I can have variety in my tacos, then tacos all the time.

    Hi Helena! I don’t usually put my stuff out there, but here goes. This should be fun! ?

    Hubby and I moved here from Phoenix, and before that we lived in Cleveland (where we met), but I’m from Malaysia originally.

    I work in insurance, and hubby and I have a virgin blog (less than a year old) about things we do and eat in NYC.

    I love that blogs can be so varied, I find different things interesting about each blog I follow. Individual creativity is inspiring! But I don’t love it when a lot of bloggers post the same thing, it feels like the labels are controlling the content. There’s bound to be overlap, but hopefully within reason.

    We don’t have children, but we love sharing that experience with friends. Similarly, a heartfelt story shared on a blog can always be appreciated by people who don’t have kids. (Loved your birth story!)

    New York City has my heart. It’s so weird how a city can capture a spirit. There are good days and bad days, no doubt, but there’s nowhere else I’d rather be.

    No way I could eat just one food for the rest of my life! ?

    Movies are tough, there are so many! Love classics like Rear Window and Young Frankenstein, and indies like Pulp Fiction and Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, and comedies like Princess Bride and Clueless.

    My favorite TV shows are probably The Wire and Breaking Bad, but I love watching a lot of stuff like The Good Wife, Shameless, and The Mindy Project. Thank goodness for Hulu and Netflix. ?

    Thanks for letting me share! Can’t wait to get to know your other readers! ?❤

    Hi Helena!

    I normally don’t comment, but as a faithful follower of your blog, now’s the time. 🙂 Let’s see, I’m originally from Arizona, but live in Manhattan. I work in publishing as a book editor, and am 30 years old. I love the outfit inspiration from blogs, and the knowledge of new brands or products. Yours is my favorite! You put awesome basics together in a really chic way, which is my goal when planning my outfit for the day. 🙂

    Least favorite? Nothing really, unless it’s brand partnerships that seem out of left field for the blog focus. It’s a business and I get that, so c/o and sponsored posts don’t bother me, but I prefer for them to fit with what I look for on the blog.

    I don’t have children but I do want them at some point, and I love hearing about others’ children! I follow some blogs simply because their kids are adorable and it’s fun to read about their family adventures. 🙂

    As for other cities, I’m in NYC and I love it, but I would love to live abroad in London or Edinburgh at some point, with easier access to travel in Europe. Someday, hopefully!

    Favorite food? Oh gosh, so hard to choose living in NY, right? But I think I would have to say either pizza or donuts. I love the dulce de leche from Dough!

    Favorite movie? Pride and Prejudice. I always put it on when I’m organizing my closet or cleaning, because I always know exactly what is going on and can just listen to the dialogue.

    Favorite show? If I’m being honest, it’s a show that I just watched called Oh My Venus. It’s Korean so you have to watch it with subtitles, but it is SO charming and sweet and fun! Highly recommend it. 🙂

    Thanks for an enjoyable and inspiring blog, Helena! Would love to hear your recent answers to these as well.

    Hey, I’m from London and I work as a lawyer. I’m 29 and love getting inspiration (mainly for outfits!) from blogs.

  • Alison S.

    I am from Rock Island, Illinois!

    I work as a Logistics Analyst for the Headquarters of the Army.

    I am 35!

    My favorite thing about reading blogs is getting inspiration from the pretty pictures. This includes fashion, hair, makeup, house items, décor, etc. I also like to peak into the lives of others in a different city or state.

    My least favorite part of blogs is the competitive aspect with sponsored posts. The constant stream of the Nordstrom Anniversary sale on many other blogs right now is bad!

    I have a wonderful 2 yr old daughter now named Finley.

    I would love to live in Charleston, SC.

    One food for the rest of my life – I guess I would pick bread.

    My favorite movie is The Holiday.

    My favorite tv show is Friends. Fixer Upper is a close second.

    Love your blog Helena and I really love following along as your son gets bigger! Hugs!

    No children, I feel like I’m still not ready for children.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be?
    I would live in one of the small towns by the ocean in Florida, I think they’re mostly catered to older people who are retired but I’m kind of an old soul so I think I could fit in. I would love to be around the peace and quiet.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
    Too hard to pick ? I’m obsessed with food but if I have to pick I’d pick taco salad.

    Hi Helena,
    I’m a longtime follower and this is my first time commenting. I think this is a lovely idea!

    I live in Tampa, Florida and I’m 28 years old. I grew up in New Jersey. I am a marketing analyst at an IT company and a sometimes freelance writer.

    I read blogs for style inspiration and I also love getting a glimpse of how other people live – their homes, recipes, kids, etc. It’s also nice to take a break during the workday!

    My least favorite thing about the blogs lately is the sponsored content, especially when numerous bloggers I follow are all promoting the same thing!

    I don’t have children, but I hope to soon!

    I would love to live in San Franciso and eat Mexican or Thai food everyday. My favorite movie is the Sound of Music and I will always love Friends.

  • Emily

    Nice idea! I love following you on Instagram and just came to your blog recently.

    Do you have children? want children? Nope. Not sure if we want them yet.

  • Natali

    Classy, masculine outfit, styled to perfection and it suits you so well! 🙂 Now about myself:
    I’m from Finland but was born in Russia and raised in Croatia. I’m a fine art photographer ( I do that for living and as my passion ) and a lifestyle blogger,
    I’m 28. I love reading more honest, real talk/ relatable blog posts and I don’t like the basic, hi it’s me wearing this and that designer kind of posts or the way toooooo “sell out” kind of posts in which everything is so sponsored, from the text to the product.
    I have one daughter and I would love to have more kids in the future. I don’t think that I could ever settle to live in only one city in this world for the rest of my life… I’m too adventurous and gyspsy like spirit for that.
    I could only live on sushi and NEVER get bored by it. I think that still my favourite movie is Inception and favourite TV show Dexter.

    Where are you from? I’m from the bay area, but that’s not where I live currently.

    What do you do for a living? I was a Child Protective Services caseworker, but now I am going back to school.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 22.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? Living vicariously through the bloggers *_*

    Least favorite? No one updates as often as I want!

    Do you have children? want children? I have none, I would like exactly one.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? Near Broadway.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Donuts.

    What’s your favorite movie? Mrs. Doubtfire

    favorite TV show? How to Get Away With Murder, old Criminal Minds, Gilmore Girls!

  • Shannon Berkeley

    Where are you from? Scarsdale, NY – just north of Manhattan. But I live on the Upper West Side now.

    What do you do for a living? I’m an actress and a model, but also a Pilates instructor and studio manager.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 25

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? Getting new ideas, inspiration, and advice, whether it’s recipes, make up/skin care tips, or style advice, or introduction to a great product.

    Least favorite? Obvious product sells (i.e. suddenly multiple bloggers are peddling the same thing – so annoying and disappointing). It’s easy to tell when bloggers are no longer being genuine, and that’s when I stop following.

    Do you have children? Want children? No, and honestly, I’m not quite sure. I’m definitely not a point in my life/career/relationship-wise where I’m thinking about it. I think it’d be a great mother, I’m just not sure I want to be one. But I’m perhaps too young to have that perspective.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? New York? I’m definitely a New York girl, and see myself ending up here. But I absolutely love to travel, and if I wasn’t an actress, I’d take a job that allowed me to live/work abroad in various cities while I was a young professional.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? And everything bagel (obviously from NY) with smoked salmon salad and mustard. My twin brother would say the same. It’s a Berkeley family staple (grandpa, dad, and all my siblings love it) – everyone thinks we’re weird and it sounds bizarre, but try it – it’s delicious!

    What’s your favorite movie? SO HARD. I don’t think I can truly narrow it down to one, but off the top of my head, Bicentennial Man. It always makes me cry, and Robin Williams is amazing.

    Favorite TV show? I’m definitely one of those people who when someone asks for “what’s your favorite…”, I cringe – I can’t choose one! Of all time? Probably The West Wing. But there’s so much good television out now, it’s hard to keep up! Currently watching Stranger Things, The Night Manager, and catching up on Homeland.

    P.S. I love your blog and have been a reader for a long time – thanks for sharing with all of us!

  • Mariel

    Hello! My name is Mariel, I’ve lived in several places in Canada. I was born in Halifax, Nova-Scotia, but consider Ottawa my hometown now. I’m a Nursing Officer in the Canadian Armed Forces. I love fashion, but I always seem to find myself in uniforms whether it be scrubs or army combats!

    I’m turning 24 in a week. I have been following various fashion blogs since I was about 19. I’ve always loved how it lets me feel part of the fashion world, but is more interesting and relatable than fashion magazines. The personalities really show through.

    Least favourite thing is…if I start sensing some “fakeness / selling out”. I give the benefit of the doubt though, maybe people really do love the more random things they’re gifted!

    I don’t have children and I don’t know if I want them or not! We’ll see 🙂

    I’m not sure where I would live, somewhere with a lot of access to water and also forests. I like changes in seasons.

    Food… mexican food 🙂

    Favourite movie is currently “Man from U.N.C.L.E.” And tv show, Scandal and House of Cards!

  • Jenny

    I’m a twenty-seven year young front desk manager at the small hotel in Trondheim, Norway. I love the connection you get trough blogs; it is what I choose to do on slow mornings whilst drinking a iced latte (yes, it does get warm in Winter Wonderland Norway too). My wife and I don’t have children, but do plan on getting pregnant this year. If we could live anywhere in the world it probably would be in either Stockholm or London, while eating pizza every day and bindge watch Frankie and Grace in Netflix!

  • Carrol

    Hi! Love reading all the posts! Such a global audience. I think I’m the oldest of the followers so far lol….I currently live in Houston, Texas and am an Investigator. At 50 I’ve visited a few places and lived in a few countries including Germany and Scotland. I love Italy the most! I think I’m an old soul too and at this age would love to live in a small town at the beach somewhere. I will be visiting NYC for the first time this Fall and can’t wait! I love your blog! It’s the only one I read as I’m not a big social media fan. Your style reflects mine even though there a big age difference. Just a number, right? I’m a big James Bond fan girl and love Spectre! Right now I’m watching Preacher and it’s so good! Pasta has to be the only food I would eat, and usually do most days. What carbs? Life is too short and Italians look great!
    Thanks for this idea and letting us all share a bit about ourselves. Keep sharing your incredible style and your favorite finds. Love the mix of high and low fashions.
    Have a great day everyone around the World!

  • Kristy

    I’m from Sydney, Australia. I’m a lawyer. I’m 38 years old. My favourite thing about blogs is getting a glimpse into other people’s lives and style. My least favourite things are when bloggers do a sponsored post on a product they obviously wouldn’t use and when they post too many photos of one outfit. I have two children aged 2 1/2 and 9 months. My fav city is New York, fav food is Japanese and fav movie is Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

    – 28 years old

    – Poorly written sentences, paragraphs, and typos…
    – New mama to a 3 week old daughter
    – I love living in Canada, so I would probably choose Vancouver!
    – Pizza, closely followed by oatmeal
    – The entire Fast and the Furious series haha
    – Orphan Black – Tatiana Maslany is incredible (and also Canadian!)

  • Katie elliott

    Been reading your blog since 2008′ 2009? Can’t remember, but it’s when I started working in PR and digital took off! After working at several full-service agencies in SC and NY, I now have my own marketing communications consultancy and it’s the scariest, best thing I ever did. I’m 33 and have a one-year-old…nevermind, THAT’s the scariest, best thing I’ve ever done! If I could live anywhere/eat anything, it’s hands-down Paris and cheese. Love your style and your blog. Watching the evolution of fashion blogs over the past decade, I like that you seem to have stayed true to yourself and your style, and you haven’t sold out, so to speak. Nothing annoys me more than my previously favorite bloggers becoming ego-maniacs and publishing too many sponsored posts and/or launching too many products and partnerships. You’re great!

  • Maja

    What a great idea!
    I’m from Hamburg, Germany.
    I’m working as a forwarding agent in the seafreight import department.
    I stay forever 28 ?
    My favourite thing about reading blogs? I think it’s getting a glimpse in someone live. Currently I’m following a few blogs from all over the world and it makes me happy to see how similar we are despite where we are from.
    I don’t like if a blog is more like a commercial about a certain brand or shop.
    I don’t have children and I don’t want children. Most woman can’t understand that and think that I don’t like children, but I like them. Give me a baby and I’m like every other girl.

    Stockholm. As a child I lived for a few years in sweden and it was the best time of my childhood.

    Is coffe food?

    It’s cheasy, but my favourite movie is sweet home Alabama.

    Favourite TV show? 2 broke girls

  • Nicole

    Love this post….I am, like you a brooklynite 😉 and I work at JLL a commercial real estate firm (a licensed salesperson) I am now 36 years young LOL

    I been following your blog for about 6 months and love everything so far…I love to see the cool styling’s of different bloggers, cool poses, your home addition is wonderful ( I’m also an HGTV addict) and also family time on blogs as well. I don’t have a least favorite about the blogs I follow I pretty much like all aspects of their posts. I have 2 children a girl (14) and boy (1)….yes I know huge gap but hey who knew LOL I would definitely live in Paris and as far as eating one food I don’t think I could; but I would double up on my pasta intake if it wasn’t so fattening lol. One of my favorite movies has to be LOVE JONES and fav TV show right now has to be POWER on Starz.

  • Stamatia

    This is fun! I’ve been following your blog for years, without ever commenting (I think), but since you share your style and life with us, I don’t mind sharing a few things with you.

    I’m from Belgium, a small country in Europe, located between The Netherlands, France and Germany. Originally my (grand)parents come from Greece, hence the name.

    I’m a lawyer by day and a beautyblogger by night. I’ve been blogging for years, but never professionally. It truly is a great way to do something completely different next to my job.

    I’m 34. Don’t feel 34 and always have to think when someone asks my how old I am.

    I love reading blogs as a way to connect, get a glimpse of other people’s lives, opinions, style, … I also love your posts about eating out in NYC, it was an inspiration for me when I visited the city last year!

    Least favorite posts are the sponsored ones that don’t feel genuine. I don’t mind reading sponsored posts or collabs – I understand that people that are pro bloggers have to make a living too – as long as it’s not something prefabricated and not true to the style of the blogger.

    No and no. I don’t mind children, I think children deserve all the love and care in the world, I just don’t want them for myself.

    I would love to live in NYC, although I would be a bit concerned that a giant city would be too much and I would get sucked in, does that make sense?

    Oh, I love food… that’s one though choice!! But seeing as I live in Belgium, fries with mayonaise would be my choice. Or chocolate.

    Legally Blonde. It always puts a smile to my face. It’s also something I can relate to – when I say I’m a lawyer, people tend to think I’m very serious all the time. When I say I blog about beauty, people tend to think it’s shallow and dumb. As if there can only be one side to a person.

    I love TV, so not really one ultimate favourite there. I have a soft spot for Sex and The City, Gossip Girl, Friends (NYC all the way :D) but I’m also into Game of Thrones.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you?
    Just turned 32 yesterday. Still feel like I’m in my 20s even tho — those days are gone.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?
    I get inspiration from people whom I’ve never met. It’s kind of refreshing to see outsiders’ perspectives on things, hear their opinions, grow with them.

    Least favorite?
    As I understand it’s a part of business — the promotional posts.

    Do you have children? want children?
    I have a daughter who turns three tomorrow and one on the way (5 months along as of now).

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be?
    Portland, Seattle, Barcelona, Edinburgh (I can’t pick one). Each have it’s own beauty and simplicity.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
    Pizza.

    What’s your favorite movie?
    Good Will Hunting

    favorite TV show?

  • Franzi

    Ha, this is so much fun!

    I’m from Germany, the Northwest to be precise, close to the Dutch border but I live in central Germany, by Frankfurt. I’m a full-time student, earning my master’s degree in North American Studies and I’m about to turn 25 (it’s a normal age for students here in Germany). I like getting glimpses into other people’s lives through reading blogs but especially expanding my horizon and getting inspired. I tend to get frustrated sometimes if I read things like “… I know it’s a bit pricey but it’s worth it” and then the product is way more than I could ever afford. I love looking at expensive stuff, don’t get me wrong, but sometimes these recommendations annoy me a bit. As I’m still pretty young, I don’t have kids and I’m not sure I’d be able to (as in having a career + kids) but I have adorable nephews and nieces, so I feel that kinda counts, haha. If I could pick a random city I’d definitely go for Paris although I have spent my spring break this year in New York and I fell in love, too. I have an unhealthy obsession with guacamole… one of my former boyfriend’s used to ask me what we should have for dinner and I would just say “something that goes with guacamole!” It’s so tough to pick a favorite movie! One that I saw recently that really impressed my was “Blue is the Warmest Color”… so unique (and very French). Same goes for favorite TV show… maybe the O.C., I was a teenager when it first came out and it influenced me a lot (I pretty much got my taste in music from it…) but I’m also obsessed with Game of Thrones and Stranger Things (just finished it today…).

  • Liz

    From the Midwest, live in NYC. Teacher. 30. Outfit inspiration, personal favorite, stories. Least favorite is when posts seem disconnected from the norm, other blogs tend to do many ‘sponsored’ that are so far away from their daily style. 1 girl, she’s 2.5! Paris? Or stay here forever! Ha pizza of course. Shawshank redemtion. Show; all time- friends. Right now- the affair or stranger things.

  • Alexis Alcala

    Hi Helena!
    You are the sweetest for this post by the way! You were the first blogger that I have been following for many years and the main inspiration that pushed me to start and continue on my blogging life. It was an amazing experience in meeting you at the Motorola Event last year in NYC. 🙂

    Im from Southern California.

    Im currently a full time student and personal stylist at Nordstrom.

    Im 24 years old and my favorite thing about reading blogs is getting inspired. Inspired to dress in a way I never thought before, inspired to travel to certain locations, and lastly getting inspired to pass on a positive message to fellow women out there.

    Sometimes my mind can get a little crowded when I read too many, and follow different esthetics. I’ve learned its best to follow a handful instead of a lot like I used to. I see it as a close group of friends and just sticking to those!

    I do I want 4! I would love to have 2 and adopt 2.

    At the moment I would love to go live in Dublin Ireland.

    CHEESE! I love CHEESE. so anything with CHEESE! hahaha

    Devil wears prada

    FRIENDS!! 🙂

    Hello. I am from woodbridge, new jersey. I am Puerto Rican. I work at Wegmans. I am 37 young. I love reading blogs to get all sorts of different information from health, clothing etc. Least favorite I guess is when everything that someone purchases falls under one price range. Some readers may not necessarily have the same budget as the blogger so a vast price range would be nice. No children and don’t want any.

    Hi Helena! I love your blog. Thanks for asking 🙂 so here are the answers:

    – I’m from Istanbul/ Turkey
    – I work as a consultant in an international company
    – 28
    – I am searching for inspiration through different blogs. For me it is the combination of interesting , unique artistic approach combined with glimpses into that persons lifestyle that appeals to me.
    – I dont like those -so obvious- advertorial ones. I got that there need to be some ads or promos here. However I need to see that tie between the blogger and the product/service/etc to believe it is real.
    – No children yet but thinking of it nowadays (btw Nate is so adorable!)
    – Other than Istanbul, that should be somewhere in Italy. Love the culture, the food, the people there
    – Definitely pasta!
    – Tough question this one. I dont have one answer to that. Fight Club, You ve Got a Mail, Forrest Gump
    – Fav tv shows of all time is Friends 🙂

    Cheers,
    Es

  • Francie

    Hi Helena, I am an 18-year-old girl from Belgium, still studying!

    My favourite tings about blogs in general is the inspiration I an get from it but my favourite thing about yours is how you mix simple pieces together to create very chic looks!

    I would say that m least favourite things on a blogs in general is the amount of clothes i can’t afford…

    I don’t… But I have a younger sister, does that count?

    I would definitely love to live in NYC or maybe in Madrid because Spanish people are just the best!

    I would eat fresh fruits for the rest of my life… or fries (from Belgium haha)

    It’s tough to pick just one…I love The Revenant for instance. I like movies that are rough and artistic at the same time!

    It really is a great idea, this post!

    Love your IG feed! You’re so humble and down to earth!

    I’m from IL, but I’ve been living in Delaware since 2004 and working in Philadelphia since 2005. I just started a new career in environmental insurance claims. It’s complex work, but I love the challenge! I don’t have any children, but I do have a 12 and 13 year old nephew (12) and niece (13) whom I love like my own.

    If I could live in any city in the world, it’d definitely be NYC! The fashion; the culture; the people! Love it all!

    I’d definitely eat French toast everyday. It’s what I order whenever I go to brunch. Every. Single. Time.

    My favorite movie is “The Burbs” with Tom Hanks. Hilarious! My favorite TV show (currently) is Odd Mom Out on Bravo. It’s not only funny, but the main character’s wardrobe is fabulous!

    Thanks for creating this post and taking an interest in your followers! 🙂

    This is such a great idea!

    First off all, hello from France (exactly: Amboise, in the Loire Valley) ! I’m 22 and I’m studying international Law. This summer Im working as a hontes and guide in a tiny museum which talk about the history of the city since the 14th century.

    I discovered your blog via Pinterest and you becaume one of my favorite blogger because of your classic and elegant style. I don’t have any children but your motherhood posts don’t bother me 🙂

    Your blog was one which helped me to organize my trip in NYC last summer (thanks for your post of the best pizzas in the city!). It was such an amazing trip, maybe it could be the city where I would love to live if I can find a job in an international organisation 🙂 There is something there I can’t find here in France, even in Paris (the energy and the spirit of NYC, so much different thing to see and to do everyday, the people (new yorkers was so kind and helpful with us even when we didn’t asked anything when we were lost, aha. French people are definitly not like that!)

    About the food.. This is a very hard choice, but if there is something I’m never weary is baguette with salt butter (Aha yes I’m french).

    I don’t think I have a favorite movie.. I prefer watching TV series : Games of Thrones is definitly in the top of my top 3, then Marevel’s Daredevil and How to Get away with Murder !

    By the way, nice outfit, as usual 🙂
    Have a great evening !

  • Keokah

    Where are you from? Baton Rouge, LA.

    What do you do for a living? Former public administrator. Freelance nonprofit consultant. Aspiring arts administrator and entertainment manager.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 34.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? I started reading fashion blogs because it was like finding my “tribe.” I don’t read blogs very much anymore. When I do read its because I’m curious about people and I think of blogs as little slices of life or mini-memoirs.

    Least favorite? I could say a lot of things here, but for the most part I’ve stopped reading all, but maybe 5 blogs. The “business of blogging” has completely turned me off. #1 – Every post is an advertisement, even if you don’t directly say it, I know. I get it. This is your business, but its annoying and feels inauthentic. #2 – Impersonal bloggers. I, too, am notoriously private, but we want authenticity. I want to be able to relate to the person behind the blog. #3 – This relates mostly to inspirational/career/lifestyle blogs, but when every single post is an advice post. It’s a bit “preachy.” #4 – Blogs with too much structure, i.e., every Monday is a list, every Tuesday is a profile…It gets boring and predictable.

    Do you have children? want children? No. I could live without children. I don’t think I’d make a good parent. But I wonder what I’d do if I met a great guy and being a parent was his dream. Umm…

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? I want to move to a beach town on the east coast of Florida.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? steak or beef.

    What’s your favorite movie? Nights in Rodanthe. I don’t really have a favorite.

    favorite TV show? I prefer BBC shows on PBS. Grantchester, Dr. Blake Mysteries, Vera, Keeping Up Appearances (old). Also educational/documentaries like Finding Your Roots.

    I see a lot of sponsored blog posts and YouTube videos from UK bloggers now which has put me off.

    Least favorite? The shilling and non stop promoting constant crap. The nordstrom anniversary sale has been the latest nightmare haha.

    Hi Helena!
    My name is Jada, I am a junior in college studying Biology and I am pre-med. I have always loved and been obsessed with style and really needed a way to balance science and fashion so blogging was the best way for me to do that. I am 20 years old, but am still told that I look 16 lol. My favorite thing about reading blogs is that I feel like I am having a chats with girlfriends, it is a really cool community. Since I still am in school and have a long way to go, children aren’t on my mind but I would love to have a family in the future. If I could live anywhere, somewhere in Europe would be great. As for food, I love all sorts of cultural food, but I would have to choose Thai!!! So yummy 🙂 Current favorite TV shows are Jane the Virgin and anything on HGTV.

    I hope that this will help you get to know me better, and that I can get to know you too! You’re blog is fantastic and you are such an inspiration. Thank you!

    Hi Helena!

    I love that you want to get to know your followers it’s a really awesome idea to connect with us. Let me start off by saying I love this look! And I’m so glad you kept the Chanel’s shoes they are ultra chic.

    I am 32 years old living in Los Angeles. I’m a hair stylist for about 12 years now and I want to say how I love the way you part your hair down the middle and slick it back. It’s my favorite look on you by far not a lot of people can achieve that do so kuddos!

    My favorite thing about reading a blog is how a person can connect or relate to others. My least favorite about a blog is when it’s a simple “this is what I wore. And that’s it” I feel like saying okay…and now what?

    I have a seven month old baby boy and being a mom is something I love! It may sound strange to say but I never thought I love it this much. Congratulations on your little one too. He is so so cute= )

    If I could pick a city I’d live in it would be in Paris I know it sounds cliche and though I’ve actually never visited it all just sounds so romantic. I would have to pick a good butter or chocolate croissant to have a for the rest of my life because what kind of Parisian would I be if I live in France and not have one?!

    My favorite movie? This is a tough one…I would have to say Pretty Woman. My favorite show, this is an even tougher question. My top 3 that I can’t pick from are Friends, Seinfeld, and SATC

    Thanks for reaching out! This was fun.

    XO

  • Allison

    I am from Melbourne, Australia. I am a Receptionist in a very busy corporate position. I am 40 years old next week (gasp!) I love when the blogger keeps it real and blogs about real life issues rather than just “content” and pretending their life is perfect!!
    I have two young children. I have one boy 7yrs old and one girl 12yrs old.
    I would choose to live in Paris. My one food would be Japanese food-sushi/sashami in particular.
    My fav movie is an old little known 90’s movie called ‘Say Anything’ with John Cusack and Ione Skye-Im a huge romantic at heart.
    My favorite tv show right now is probably RHONY!

  • Gabriela

    Hi Helena, my daughter and I met you at a Lucky blog conference a while back. You were wearing a lovely pair of slit pants, you looked so stylish and so pretty. I love you blog and your style, and thank you for the tips about New York and restaurants. I am from Ann Arbor, MI . I run a Kirby vacuum distributorship, I am 50. I only read blogs that truly are inspiring, like you. I hate bloggers who copy everyone else, and follow trends just for the sake of being popular and don’t express their own true style or individuality. I have a daughter, Rachel, I am crazy about her! I would live in Nice, France or Tennessee if I could live anywhere. If I could pick one food it would be fruit, I love fruit. My favorite movie is The Sound of Music and Ben Hur.( sorry it’s 2) My favorite tv show is “Once Upon A Time” By the way, you look fabulous after having a baby!!!!!!!

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? Getting different views of fashion from everyone and seeing how looks are pulled together.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 30
    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? An insight into the lives of people I admire, I find it very interesting to see the parts of peoples lives that you necessarily wouldn’t know about your own friends!
    Least favorite? When people’s posts are repetitive I tend to scroll straight past. When brand sponsorships don’t align. Wrong language choice for audience. Sometimes its frustrating to not be able to find styles (being so far away!) or afford them – haha.
    Do you have children? want children? No, but want them.
    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? New York – love that city

    • Sara

      Hi Hannah, reading over the comments and noticed you are in New Zealand too 🙂

  • Madeline

    Hello Helena, this is such a fun idea!

    I’m from Toronto, Canada.

    I’m currently a student studying film and TV production and I’d love to have a career in television development creating tv series.

    I’m 19.

    I love blogs because they are a great way to get to know people that you otherwise would never know. I love fashion blogs, you’re in particular, because they give me style inspiration! I say I have two passions in life, film and fashion. I love seeing how other people present themselves to the world through clothing.

    Least favourite part – too many ads within a post.

    No children, but eventually one day.

    I may be from Toronto, but I can feel it in my bones that I belong in New York City. I plan on moving there after a year in London once I’ve graduated.

    One food for the rest of my life? Pasta, bread, cake, anything that is carbs!

    I absolutely love Breakfast at Tiffany’s, When Harry Met Sally, and The Breakfast Club.

    Being a film and television student, it’s no surprise that I watch a lot of shows (and movies) so it’s really hard to narrow it down, but my all time favourite show is One Tree Hill.

    Thanks for the questions!

  • Pinja

    Such a nice idea! Here goes!

    I’m from Finland, but I’ll be moving to Scotland to start my university studies in September.

    I’m currently working as a receptionist at a yoga studio and before that I was a waitress at a chinese fast food restaurant. You could say I’m haven’t started to build my actual career yet haha 😀

    I’m 20 years old.

    Reading blogs gives me so much inspiration and tips! Whether it’s fashion, beauty or lifestyle related.

    As I have a blog of my own too, it’s so SO easy too start comparing myself and my blog with others. That has to be my least favourite thing!

    I don’t have any, and I actually don’t want any either.

    London, hands down! My absolute favourite city in the world! At least of the ones I’ve visited so far 🙂

    If I could only eat one food for the rest of my life, it’d probably be sushi!

    Never getting tired of Harry Potter! Deep down I’m still a massive Harry Potter nerd.

    Ooooh, picking just one fave TV show is so difficult! But I think I’m going to go with Gossip Girl!

    I hope you’re having a fab week 🙂 xx

  • Sara

    Hello from New Zealand! Love reading your posts, checking out your images and admiring your style.

    My background is in marketing and events but I’m switching things up and doing something more creative and branching out my own. It’s scary.

    37

    Love getting a peek at another piece of the world, love following along in life stories and I love the blogging community.

    Least favourite is when people aren’t authentic/try too hard/ copycat/ all promote the same stuff.

    No children, and probably not in the cards for us.

    I left my heart in San Francisco.

    Pizza for life.

    I forget movies after I watch them.

    And I watch shameless reality tv, currently big brother and Unreal is keeps me entertained.

    Love reading the comments here 🙂 Hi!

  • Elena

    Hi Helena!
    My name is Elena, I’m originally from Kasachstan, now living in Luxembourg. Before that I lived also in Germany, France and Turkey. I speak 6 languages and work as a procurement manager. I’m 37 and I have two daughters: 12 and 6 years old. They are my whole pride and daily inspiration. Reading blogs means a lot of things to me: escaping to another world, seeking new ideas or just spending some time alone and relaxing. My least favorite thing about it is probably that sometimes I feel under pressure to keep up with what I see there and this is mostly impossible of course. There is no single food I could eat for the rest of my life, no way! 🙂 My favorite movie must be “Love Actually” and my favorite TV-Show “Friends”. I would love to live in Istanbul, my favorite city, unfortunately this is currently impossible due to the actual political situation.
    Warm regards from Luxembourg

  • Kat

    Hi

    I am from Sydney Australia.
    I am a marketing manager for a food brand.
    I am 36.
    My favourite thing about reading blogs is finding inspiration for life and connecting to other parts of the world or people I wouldn’t normally encounter in my everyday life.
    My least favourite thing is content which doesn’t disclose it is a paid for or sponsored post. I am fine with branded content as long as it is disclosed.
    I don’t have children. I would like one child.
    I love sydney but I would also like to live in Tokyo or Vancouver.
    I love dessert and candy so it would be that.
    My favourite movie – far too many to list but some include legally blonde, clueless, sliding doors – bit of a theme here.
    My favourite shows are suits, offspring (Aussie show) and house of cards.

    I haven’t been reading the blog long but enjoy it! Thank you!

  • Katerina

    Hey Helena,

    I live in small town in Czech Republic.

    Im 27 and work as project manager in translation agency.
    My fave things are my cats, traveling (Id love to live in Florence or NY), food (pasta&pizza&parmegiano) and just hanging out with my friends.
    My fave tv shows are SATC, greys anamtomy, scandal, peaky blinders, bron and so many more.

    Thank you for sharing your story. I love your posts.
    I was following too many blogs and cut it down to my 10favourites – and yours is there.
    I like that you are still the same person even though not really. But some blogs just end up beeing more commercial, not personal anymore. And you can sence that it all about money in the end. You are still yorself and thats what I like!

  • Blandine

    Hello 🙂

    I’m from Paris, France.
    I’m a digital consultant at Deloitte.
    I’m 27.
    My favorite thing about reading blogs is to stay updated with the latest trends, get new ideas about outfits, and above all get immersed in a blogger’s style or universe. I like that all bloggers I read are different. Regarding your blog, among all the blogs I read your style is the closest to mine, so the easiest to get inspired by. (When I discovered your blog, I saw I had many of your bags ! Like the Celine classic box, YSL monogram, Valentino lock bag). But I also like other kinds of contents (btw your baby is so adorable !! and reading about your pregnancy was really interesting too).
    My least favorite thing is when bloggers pick items for us to buy, without modeling them.
    I don’t have children but I intend to have one in 3-4 years. I’m not sure if I will have more because pregnancies in my family have always been difficult. But reading about yours really made me want to have one !
    As for the city I’d like to live in, I guess it’s Paris. I could have lived anywhere else but I chose to stay here because I love it.
    Regarding the food, if I could only eat one, it would be japanese or thai. I’m allergic to gluten, so these are the easiest choices, plus they are delicious !!
    My favorite movie is The Leopard from Visconti. I’d gladly live in a ball dress from that era… And my favorite TV shows are Game of Thrones, House of Cards, and some little known French series 🙂

  • Ly

    Dear Helena,

    My name is Ly I’m 22 years old and I’m studying in Munich, Germany.
    The most I like about your blog are your incredible outfits!! I really love them and they are such an inspiration.
    If I could live anywhere I want it would be New York or London. My all time favourite food is pasta, favourite movie Titanic and favourite TV shows are Gossip Girl and 90210 🙂

  • Ola

    Hi Helena,
    My name is Ola (short from Alexandra) and I live in Poland, I’m 27. I’ve been reading your blong since 2013. I don’t remember how I came across your blog. Currently I’m on a maternity leave. I have a daughter, she is 5 months old. 🙂 I do want more children. I’m a teacher and hopefully in Februry I will return to my school.
    Blogging is about inspiration, creativity and beautiful pics, so I don’t like sponsored posts and posts like “my favourite products in July”.
    I’d love to live in NYC, someday maybe.:)
    If I could eat one food for the rest of my life, it would be pizza. (not original duh)
    My favourite movie is Pride and Prejudice and my fav tv show is House of Cards.

  • Hannah Dobson

    I’m a 27yo doctor from Melbourne, Australia. I have loved reading your blog over the past year, particularly to get outfit ideas for myself and to discover new products!

    I tend to skip past blogs if I find theres too many sponsored posts that I am not sure I can trust, or if the outfits become too skimpy!

    I can’t wait to have children. I am getting married next year to a lovely boy from a big Irish catholic family, When we announced our engagement his dad wished us ‘at least 7 or 8’ children!!

    I’d love to spend some time living in either New York or London, and I could never say no to a beautifully cooked steak!

    My favourite movie is Crash, or patch adams.. and currently I’m enjoying Suits, although I will always have a soft spot for Friends..

    Thanks for asking, Brooklyn Blonde!

    Where are you from? Las Vegas, NV. Currently living in Chicago.

    What do you do for a living? I am a rising second year law school student.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? About to turn 25 next month.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? I love hearing the blogger’s story of what inspired their pieces. It’s wonderful to hear someone’s story, from one human being to another.

    Least favorite? Sponsored blogs are sometimes inconsistent with the blogger’s style. Some of the pieces picked out may not be something that I would think the blogger would wear.

    Do you have children? want children? I do want children.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? It’s hard to choose. My goal is to go onto all 7 continents in the world. I have 3 left. Maybe after I visited it all, I’ll decide.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Bread.

    What’s your favorite movie? I have so many, I can’t just pick one at the moment.

    What do you do for a living? I work for the Government of Canada as an Data Analyst for IT. (which should really be fashion blogger/designer and all things fashion… :))

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 24

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? Getting inspired from like minded people’s blogs. I consistently read 5 blogs almost every day and even when I try to add more, I always go back to the same 5. I like the variety within the blogs, the new things you learn that you wouldn’t have on your own and definitely the shoes. 🙂

    Least favorite? I don’t think I have a least favorite to be honest but something I find frustrating would definitely be sponsors. The lives of bloggers seem so extravagant and while they do make money, so many of the clothes/makeup/retail items they get are given to them for free. If I was getting all that stuff of course I’d look good haha! But that’s not all blogs. The blogs I follow, I follow because of genuineness and that you can see the effort and knowledge put into it.

    Do you have children? want children? I don’t have any children yet but ABSOLUTELY I do want some.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? New York City. In a heartbeat.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Stir Fry.

    What’s your favorite movie? Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

    favorite TV show? Gossip Girl.

    How old.. I am 36. Ouch that hurts to say !

    Favorite thing about reading blogs? Simply put…inspiration. I love being inspired by the women who write these amazing blogs whether for the fashion/lifestyle aspects, or the real life stories they share I just love learning from these incredible women and being able to take part in some small way in their life journeys.

    Least favorite? I really enjoy blogs that are authentic and diverse with their content, I really don’t like blogs that feel highly sponsored or fake. I agree with another commenter who stated that many blogs feel “surfacey”.

    Do you have children? Want children? I do not have children yet but certainly hope I will be able to have one day!

    If you could live in any city in the world.. Other than NYC which is my heart, my home..I would choose Florence, Italy. From the piazzas to the food to the culture on every corner, I just love the spirit of this city, the architecture, the history, and its definitely been the best place I have ever visited.

    If I could eat one food for the rest of my life..I don’t think I could limit myself to just one food but Mexican food is up there on my list of all time favorites and always a go to for me. Who can say no to a good guacamole!

  • KRis M

    Hi –

    I am a 55 year Financial Advisor from San Diego, CA – with two grown (college age) children.
    I love getting outfit inspiration from blogs, seeing pieces I may want to acquire, learning about beauty products, and seeing travel locations.
    My least favorite thing about blogs is the sponsored posts.
    If I could live anywhere, it would be Paris or outside Charleston, SC (on the water!)
    Favorite food is – wow – hard to choose! Pizza or truffled french fries.
    My favorite tv shows are The Bachelor/Bachelorette (lame, I know) and some cooking shows. My fave movies are chick flicks- oldies like Pretty Woman or Working Girl. Also love any Bond flick.

    Love your style – one of the few blogs in which outfits are appropriate for middle age women like me – and your younger followers.

  • Azu

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?
    I love how creative people are. I get so inspired and I love seeing so many beautiful people around the world and what they’re wearing.

    Least favorite?
    Bloggers that link every single thing with an affiliate link. Like they’re trying to scrape off a penny any way they can. It comes off as cheap, IMO. And sponsored posts that don’t come from the heart. I don’t have a problem with affiliate links or sponsored posts as long as the blogger is genuine and sincere. It shows when you are geniune <3

    Do you have children? want children?
    Nope and only with the right man

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be?
    Honestly, I love it here. So I'd live either here or maybe somewhere tropical and hot (Hawaii, Floriada, or Yucatan in Mexico.)

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    Either sweet potatoes or exotic fruit like jackfruit, mamey, sapote, or figs, persimmons

    What’s your favorite movie?
    Romy & Michele's High School Reunion

    favorite TV show?
    Breaking Bad

  • Tiffany H

    I am from Houston Tx and I am a CPA. I am 33 and I love reading blogs. My favorite thing about reading blogs is the inspiration that I get, be it fashion, home décor, makeup, etc. The downside is that I always covet something. I do not have children but my hubby and I are trying at the moment. I would live in Paris or NYC, given the chance. I love both cities equally. I could totally eat pizza everyday for the rest of my life. My favorite movie is The Devil Wears Prada (such eye candy). My favorite tv show is Game Of Thrones.

    I’m 43 and live in Bklyn Heights. I run a cooking summer camp for children 5 to 11 years all and also have a kids tour company here in NYC. I have a teenage daughter and a pre teen son.
    I don’t read blogs at all. I came across yours and love how you look and how neat your pics are; so I come back every once in a while.
    I’m of Russian descent (Moldova) and love everything Russian: food and culture. I’m also fluent in French and would consider Paris as a place to live for a short while.

  • Kelsea Roth

    Hi Helena! I’ve been reading your blog for a few years and am a big fan. I am 26, from New Orleans and have never lived anywhere else, and don’t plan to! I work in a predominantly male-dominated field: heavy construction equipment (like excavators and wheel loaders you see on construction sites). It’s our family business. Although I miss having a creative outlet at work (my background is in advertising), I know I am super lucky to be working with my dad every day in a flexible environment. I love reading blogs have have about 15 I read daily. I like blogs with clean layouts and diverse content. I read family blogs, fashion blogs and design blogs alike. I like the routine of “visiting my friends” daily. My least favorite thing about reading blogs is getting accustomed to new posts each day and then suddenly having them trickle off without explanation. I understand life happens, but from a selfish standpoint, I miss the content and entertainment!

    I don’t have children yet, but got married 7 months ago (NYE 2015!) and we plan to begin trying for a child after this Mardi Gras season (Feb 2017). My husband is one of seven, and has 15 nieces and nephews, so we are excited to add to the group. By the time all his siblings are done, we expect to have a group of kids into the twenties!

    I love New Orleans with all my heart, but if it suddenly ceased to exist (one day it might, with deteriorating wetlands), I’d head straight to Austin, TX. ATX and NOLA are kindred spirits.

    If I had to limit myself to one food, it would surely be creamed spinach.

    My favorite movie is Forrest Gump: it has it all! A great soundtrack, humor, sadness, love and true meaning.

    My favorite TV show of all time is Friends, because I can re-watch it and truly never get sick of it. But, in recent years, I’ve enjoyed Breaking Bad, LOST, Dexter and Mad Men. I can’t get into Walking Dead because I’m a ninny.

    I think this post is a great idea; I’m sure it will be fun to read all these comments. Thanks for the fun!

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you?
    I just turned 19 last week.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?
    I absolutely love it when blogs get personal at times and include their day to day life, so it kinda feels like you get to know them a little. Reading Blogs or even watching their/your Snapchat stories helps me at getting through my bad days (and there are a lot of them), so that means a lot to me as well.

    Least favorite?
    Blog-People who seem unauthentic about what they are doing or just want to show off (like some Fitness blogs do)

    Do you have children? want children?
    Obviously I don’t have any yet, but I’m not sure I want any either. I don’t think I’d be a good mother.

    A hundred percent New York!!

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
    Probably Pasta.

    What’s your favorite movie?
    I’m an absolute Grace Kelly Fan, so High Society

    favorite TV show?
    Totally obsessed with Suits at them moment and good old OC California never gets boring.

  • Fashion and frappes

    This is such a fun post! Here goes:

    I am from Calcutta in India but I am currently based in London. I am a lawyer by profession and work at a bank but also blog at http://www.FashionandFrappes.com with my sister and best friend! I am 31.

    Yours was probably one of the first blogs I started following and I love your polished style. Your outfits were always those I felt were achievable and practical but it still makes you turn around and take a look! I started wearing Ruby Woo after I saw it on you!

    The least favourite thing about blogs is probably bloggers who don’t answer questions maybe?

    No children and don’t want children either! Did you always know you wanted children?

    I have not been to the USA but currently for me if I could I would want to live in Paris or back to Mumbai. Both cities have a vibe and energy that is so special!

    The food is an easy one – its my mum’s made mutton dish called Kosha Mangsho. 🙂

    Favourite movie is still Closer – its so weird and disturbing! Current favourite TV show is Bloodline – please watch it – its fantastic!

  • ADELE GILLIES

    Hi Helena, My name is Adele and I am 38 and from Liverpool, England. I have followed your blog for about 3 years. I have three children, 19,17 and 13. I work as a Teaching Assistant in a local primary school. If I could live anywhere I would choose either LA or NYC. I love watching Chicago Fire and I love too many films to have a favourite, although Alfred Hitchcock The Rear Window is something I was obsessed with as a kid and still love to this day! I love the fashion ideas on blogs and the outfits, plus seeing the sights….its like being on a little holiday! Congrats on your new addition. xx

  • Stephanie

    Where are you from? Los Angeles

    What do you do for a living? I work at a non profit that helps and advocates for foster children in LA. I LOVE my job!

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 31

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? real people with real style. Its awesome to see how people put things together and what they love. Also a huge fan of beauty and skin care posts, sometimes I freelance as a makeup artist and I love seeing what people are using.

    Least favorite? Blogs that don’t show any personality and feel like an ad. Sponsored content is fine as long as it fits.

    Do you have children? want children? None yet but yes I absolutely want children.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? I love living in Los Angeles, you really can’t beat the weather, food and access to beaches, mountains and desert. I would like to live in NYC in the fall and be semi bi coastal.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Street tacos with amazing salsa!

    What’s your favorite movie? A Bronx Tale and Fried Green Tomatoes.

    favorite TV show? Law & Order: SVU, I’ve literally watched every episode thanks to Hulu 😉

    Love your blog, style and authenticity. Thank you for sharing your world with us.

  • Caitlyn

    I actually really enjoyed reading the comments on this post, and I don’t say that often! You have such a diverse and unique readership!

    I’m a Chicago girl– born and raised! Sorry, Helena, but NYC has nothing on Chicago!

    I am a yoga instructor and manage a medical society. I also do freelance writing for health and wellness bloggers.

    I’m 24 years old.

    I love catching glimpses of a blogger’s daily life. You are one of the few fashion blogs I follow because you are so down to earth and relatable. And, even though I don’t have kids, I love reading about your journey through motherhood.

    I hate sponsored posts. I understand why bloggers do them, but there is a tasteful way to write them.

    I don’t have children and I’m too young and too single (and enjoying it!) to think rationally about that right now.

    Narrowing down just one city is hard. Someday I’d love a job that would allow me to live in many cities across the world. I did live and work in Belgrade for awhile and I fell in love with the Balkan region!

    Peanut butter and banana sandwiches are my favorite food as much as I hate to admit it

    Favorite movie is Pride and Prejudice #cliche

    It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia is my go to Netflix show!

  • Teah

    Hi, I have been following your blog for the last 2 years and really like your all your fashion and beauty posts.

    I’m from Ohio.

    What do you do for a living?
    I’m an Executive Assistant

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 44

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?
    I really enjoy getting fashion inspiration and outfit ideas from the bloggers that I follow. I also love that I can always click on a link for an item being worn in a post if I am interested in buying.

    What I like least about blogs….
    When bloggers only seem to be working for certain brands and they don’t mix it up quite as much. I understand that blogging is a business, but it can be a bit much when you see so many bloggers all wearing a variation of the same outfits. Also, too many pics of the same outfit in one post can be a bit much as well.

    Do you have children? want children?
    Yes, I have two children; a teen age son and daughter

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? Las Vegas (the great weather, shopping, great restaurants and amazing entertainment that is always available all the time!)

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Authentic New York Pizza

    What’s your favorite movie? Avatar

    favorite TV show? Outlander- love this show!

  • Elena

    I loved reading all the comments in this thread so here goes my answers!

    Where are you from? Grew up in multiple cities (Army brat) but family’s latest home base would be Nashville, TN and I’m currently living in NYC

    What do you do for a living? Manager in a fitness studio

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 25 as of last month.. ugh that was scary to type..

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? The peak in to someone else’s lifestyle, the way they put outfits/ their home together, funny stories from their daily lives, etc.

    Least favorite? When I go on BlogLovin and see all the blogs promoting the same. exact. thing. Or when every blogger is wearing/toting the same exact outfit or accessory. I started getting in to blogs in high school when I was in to fashion and loved the unique and quirkiness of them but now they are so mainstream and million-dollar business models it seems..

    Do you have children? want children? No, and I’m not sure if I want to have any of my own

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be? I have been in NYC for a year now and while I love the fast-paced lifestyle and the convenience of everything but I am already dreaming of my next city. I’m thinking Austin!

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Tacos, duh

    What’s your favorite movie? I can’t decide between Bridesmaids, Anchorman, or The Devil Wears Prada

    favorite TV show? I could watch Law & Order: SVU all day

  • Amy

    Hello! I am from St. Louis and I have been following your blog for almost 2 years now (Not ashamed to admit that I have it bookmarked for easy access).

    I am almost 21 (October 9th!) and currently in school for Integrated Marketing Communications at Stephens College in Columbia, MO.

    To be completely honest your blog is one of only two blogs I read regularly.

    NYC would be the city I would like to live in, Hopefully next year that will become a reality, at least for the summer when I hope to have an internship! My mother is from the New Jersey so I am fortunate to be able to visit the wonderful city once or twice a year. I can never get enough of it!

    Food is my weakness. My food obsession of the moment has been mac & cheese but I am always a fan for great tacos of any kind.

    This is such a clever post to see what demographic you mainly appeal to and is also a great way to learn about your readers!

  • Jessica Grundy

    Hey Helena,

    This is a great idea. Here’s a little bit about myself:

    Where are you from?

    I’m from Sydney, Australia. Born and raised.

    What do you do for a living?

    A few things actually! I studied Law/Science which I know is a weird combo but was perfect for me. I am a Research Governance Lawyer for a Children’s Hospital – I review Research Trial proposals according to legislation to ensure they stand up to the code of ethics and review government contracts.

    I am also a Co-Founder and VP of OCAGI – which is the only oesophageal cancer charity in Australia. Please check out our website (which is a work in progress) at http://www.ocagi.org. This is a volunteer, not-for-profit organisation. We only started in 2012 after my father-in-law passed away from oesophageal cancer 12 weeks after diagnosis. We tried searching for info and support groups, but found there were none. So we set out to change that.

    I am also a freelance florist for some creativity, and I help run my husband’s media company.

    It’s a lot, but I truly enjoy it all.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you?

    I am 24.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?

    The creativity, the realness, the inspiration. My favourite blogs are ones where it doesn’t feel overly curated, where I get to know the person and where there’s a variety of lifestyle posts as well as the pretty fashion/beauty ones. For me, blogs are a great way to have a break and find that inspiration to better myself.

    Least favorite?

    I least like the overly curated blogs. They are gorgeous, but I find I return to them less often. If I like a blog (like yours!) I’m there every couple days, or everyday if they tend to post everyday. For overly curated blogs that feel more like magazines than a personal blog, I probably do a quick check in once every couple weeks, as if flicking through a new magazine.

    Do you have children? want children?

    I don’t, but I do – eventually! From around 29 years old I think. I have a lot I would like to achieve and many places to travel. When I become a mum, I want to make sure I have a degree of flexibility to be able to immerse myself in motherhood and enjoy it, without worrying too much about returning to work too quickly.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, what would it be?

    I would love to live in New York, Amalfi Coast, Greek Islands and Melbourne.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    That’s really hard. Can I choose a cuisine? Italian.

    What’s your favorite movie?

    Anything feel good 90’s. Clueless, 10 Things I Hate About You, Parent Trap, Father of the Bride, etc. Some modern ones I love are The Other Woman, Devil Wears Prada (although that’s apparently 10 years old now, what!).

    favorite TV show?

    At the moment, Game of Thrones. But I’m obsessed with House of Cards, Mad Men. Loved Downton Abbey. Huge couch and tv fan haha.

    Thanks Helena!

  • C. Elizabeth

    Hello there, I am from New Zealand, but I live in Sydney, Australia and lived in London and Scotland previously,
    I’m 35 and am due to give birth in September.
    I love blogs for outfit, home interior and skincare inspiration. My least favourite thing about blogs is the sponsored post that seems disingenuous and particular obvious where it concerns skincare… I also dislike it when blogs that were once about interiors or fashion become wholly about motherhood once the blogger has a child, though I DO enjoy the motherhood posts.
    I would love to live between London, Paris and Sydney.
    I love all cuisines but would probably live on Japanese, Mexican and Italian (can’t choose only one!)
    I also can’t choose only one favourite movie but I love Hitchcock, David Lynch, David Fincher films.
    I love Game Of Thrones…

  • Naïma

    Where are you from? I’m Naïma, from Roussillon, a wonderful village in south of France

    Do you have children? want children? We don’t have children yet, but soon we hope !

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? La-sa–gna !

    What’s your favorite movie? Goodfellas

    favorite TV show? I’m not interested by TV show

  • Irene

    Hi! My name’s Irene, I am 32, living in Bucharest and working as a translator/ interpreter for a top law firm. I enjoy fashion blogs because they are to me a daily escape and a major source of inspiration in choosing my own outfits and accessories. I’d love to visit New York but I’d prefer living the easy life on some island next to the ocean. I don’t have children and don’t plan on it any time soon. My favorite TV shows are Grey’s Anatomy, The Good Wife, The Mindy Project and Modern Family. Needless to say I love your blog and simple but classy style!

  • Eva

    I love the fact you give your readers a chance to talk about themselves! Ok, here it goes…

    I’m a 19 – soon to be 20 – year old student from Bruges, Belgium. If I could live anywhere else, I’d probably be in New Zealand. I own a blog but don’t run it full time, I wait tables to pay for my education. I hope to be an English & history teacher in the future.
    I love reading about fashion and beauty, but I hate tags and challenges.

    I don’t have any kids and I don’t want any either, Not now, not in ten years, maybe never.

    If I could, I’d probably eat spaghetti every day for the rest of my life. It’s very simple, but sometimes I’m surprised at how good it can taste.

    I don’t watch many TV shows so I can’t think of a fave, but my favorite movie is hands down “Inglourious Basterds”.

    Thanks!

  • Natalie

    Hi,

    I am 30and live in London, England and work in finance so I love blogs that help me get closer to things I love, mainly interiors clothes etc. I love it when I get to know a bit more about the blogger and get a sense of their personality and see abit more of their lives than just the one element, say clothes etc. For me the worst is when I see something I love on a blog (I read a lot of American blogs) and its not available in the uk (wahhhhhh).
    Its interesting about the Children question, we don’t have any yet but will hopefully start trying soon. I’ve read some blogs for quite a few years now and they are all starting to have families so its great feeling like I’m at a similar stage in life.
    To be honest I don’t want to live in a city, I grew up in the middle of nowhere in the lake district and can’t wait to move home (fingers crossed).

    I’m currently obsessed, who am I kidding I have always been obsessed with meringues. Such a sweet tooth.
    Fav film, so many but always Audrey Hepburns funny face, goodfellas and Grease 2 (its so underrated). TV currently billions but all time fav has to be Greys I’ve watched all seasons about 4 times.

    Hi Helena!
    First of all, great idea to hear about us 🙂
    So here will go a little bit about me…
    I’m from São Paulo, Brazil, and have been your reader before you get married. I still remember your post with your wedding pictures I got really inspired since then.
    I’m a business consultant for an aircraft company and I usually travel around the world more than I stay at home (I still leave in São Paulo) in 2013 I made my first personal trip vacation to NYC to met Brooklin inspired again by your pictures in town.
    I’m 39 years now 🙂
    I love reading blogs, to me is fast way to reach people opinions and show your ideas, inspirations in a way that is not tiring like a magazine…what I loved about Brooklin Blonde since day one was how I feel personally spoken by the way you write and mostly the outfit inspirations we have, to me who is traveling all the time is very helpful your tips when I’m doing my luggage.
    My least favorite on some blogs is when the blogger loose the focus, the reason why they first started the blog and start doing only product merchandise for products or clothes that they would never use it if nobody was paying for or something so ridiculously expensive…I understand is part of the business having merchandise but at least offer other options or re use the same pair of shoes or bag in a different outfit as you do all the time, which I love by the way!!
    I don’t have children yet, this crazy life I live, but I really want to have (soon!!! With my age I can’t wait for too long)
    If I could live in a city I would say Paris or NYC completely different places but totally complement each other 🙂
    If I could eat something for the rest of my life I would say Mediterranean food and organic food.
    My favorite movie is The Devil wears Prada (or any other with Maryl Streep) but her voice specially in this one kills me 😀
    Favorite tv show would be Fixer Upper…definitively!
    I wrote too much I know…but I just felt like at home with a cup of tea talking to a friend 😉
    Thank you for all your Inspiring posts Helena! Wish all the best to you and your family!
    Gilmara ❤️

  • Teah

    I wanted to add one more comment regarding the least favorite thing about blogs that I forgot to mention in my original response yesterday. I love that many bloggers offer giveaways, I think it’s cool, generous and a great perk for those that follow the blog. However, I hate how much you have to do to enter the drawing to win (i.e, follow on pintrest, FB, Instagram. Tweet aboutmit, etc.) To me this comes off as toomuch work for the reader, if they followa blog, chances are we already follow you on other social media too. It stats

    • Teah

      Sorry for the typos in my earlier response, but what I was trying to say is when a reader has to do so much to win a giveaway, it starts to feel like it’s more about making a blogger more popular than a true heartfelt giveaway.

  • Brenda

    1) originally born in Peru, but a SoCal native since 9 Redondo Beach area 🙂
    2)I am a business analyst / developer
    3) I am almost 43!!
    4) fashion inspiration and bloggers that authentically care about their readers (you get 100%)
    5) that the personality doesn’t show through as much – but loving snapchat!!! Also, when it starts becoming more egocentric
    6) no children but want (crossing fingers!)
    7) that I’ve been to, Lanikai Beach in Hawaii!
    8) ceviche!
    9) all time: sixteen candles / currently: the other woman (costume design is always a huge driver!)
    10) game of thrones!!

    Thank you for asking! This is such a great idea to get to know your readers – people love questionnaires!! Damsel in Dior just recently did the same and I am loving what she is doing with the feedback. Can’t wait to read yours!

  • Kerstin

    Hey Helena, I’ve been meaning to answer your questions but totally forgot. Hope it’s not too late yet. Anyway, here are my answers:

    Where are you from? I’m from Austria, Europe.

    What do you do for a living? I am currently studying to become a German-English-Spanish translator. I’m about to finish my post-grad studies but someone still has to write my Master’s thesis. 😉 I also work part-time.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 27

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? I love your blog because you are authentic and it never feels like you are promoting products just for the money. I stumbled upon your blog when I was looking for ways to style red skinny jeans (remember those days?) and I was instantly hooked. In general, I read blogs for outfit/beauty/food/interior inspiration but more recently I’ve noticed that I keep coming back to certain blogs because the blogger is relatable and I look forward to reading their stories.

    Least favorite? I absolutely despise overly sponsored blogs. I know you guys need to earn money, but it annoys me so much when every single post advertises a product or is part of a collaboration.

    Do you have children? want children? Don’t have any. Not sure if I want any.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be? Love London so much. I used to live there a few years back and I fell in LOVE.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Anything truffled. And all variations of pasta and pizza. And chocolate. And sushi… This list could go on 😀

    What’s your favorite movie? Love actually. (sappy, I know.)

    favorite TV show? Way too many! Right now I’m looking forward to the new season of Sherlock (the BBC version). All time favourites include Dexter, Breaking Bad, Weeds, Homeland, Modern Family, Parks & Rec,…

    Keep up the good work on the blog!

  • Sara morais

    Almost missed this one!
    I’m a loyal reader of your blog so I thought I should answer this one…so, here it goes.

    1. Born and raised in Braga, third biggest city in a small country called Portugal.
    2. I’m a Product Designer ( and an aspiring Footwear Designer too) and sometimes – not as often as I should – I become a blogger at The Citified
    3. 28! Ah!
    4. Gaby Merced just put it out perfectly and I couldn’t do better so I’ll just quote: ” Getting a glimpse into someone’s life, personal style and their way of thinking. I’m also drawn to bloggers who are transparent and real about their personal journey; good, bad and ugly “.
    5. Blogging is no longer a hobbie and it became a serious business (maybe an industry in a couple of years) and with business comes marketing and money. I could never blame those who use marketing to promote their blogs and make more money, BUT, most of them ended up getting lost in it and neglecting the genuine part of it all so, again, like Gaby Merced said “I always know when there’s a brand campaign because at least ten bloggers are writing about it”. I got sick of seeing Stan Smith’s and Balenciaga boots everywhere and, the most ridiculous, suddenly, everyone wears the same perfume. I mean, where’s the sense of “personal” after all? This brings me to YOUR blog which you’ve been doing such a great job with. We know when a certain post is clearly sponsored and I think there’s nothing wrong about it but we also know (well, maybe I should just speak for myself) that you would never recommend a certain product/service if you doubt it for a second. And when we visit BB, we don’t see the same clothes, the same bags, the same products, the same tips abd that’s exactly why Brooklyn Blonde is, without a doubt, my favorite blog of the moment.
    7. I’ve always dreamed about living in New York but after moving abroad twice, my heart still belongs to Portugal (cause home is where your heart is, right!?). Living half a year in NY and the other half in Portugal would be perfect! (dreaming much!? I mean, if Christian Louboutin can own a house in Portugal and develop at least one collection here, why can’t I?)
    8. That’s not fair! I would have to say pasta…but I can’t even imagine life without chocolate and pizza either.
    9. To be honest I don’t have a favorite, I just LOVE watching movies. Dirty Dancing is a classic and I believe I’ve never laughed as hard in my entire life as I did watching “How To Be Single”.
    10. Sex & The City will always have my heart. I can watch it over and over and over.

    Thank you for letting me share! 🙂

    Where are you from?

    I’m originally from Wilmington, DE, but I went to college in upstate New York and now call New York City home,

    What do you do for a living?

    I’m a Copywriter and the founder of the fashion/lifestyle blog http://www.aspiringsocialite.com/

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you?

    I’ll be 30 in September and I’m thrilled to be leaving my 20s behind. I feel like life doesn’t really begin until 30. I’ve never looked or felt better. I feel like 30 is going to be the beginning of something amazing and I can’t wait.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?

    As a blogger myself I love seeing how creative people are on their blogs and how ordinary people can become so influential through social media. Blogs and social media give everyone a voice and the opportunity to be creative no matter who they are or where they come from. I’ve also met some really awesome friends through blogging.

    Least favorite?

    My least favorite thing about blogs right now is the importance everyone puts on traffic. While traffic is very important, especially when it comes to making money blogging, people shouldn’t be discouraged from creating great content and expressing themselves just because they don’t have a lot of traffic.

    Do you have children? want children?

    I don’t have children. If I do have them, it will be years from now and I will only have one.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be?

    I love living in New York City and will stay here for as long as I can. I’d love to live in L.A. for a year though just to experience it.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    Mac and Cheese or I would make every meal brunch. There are no calories in this universe.

    What’s your favorite movie?

    I love indie films like American Mary. I’m also a huge horror movie fan.

    favorite TV show?

    I’m really into Black Mirror on Netflix now, but I also love Game of Thrones because it’s the only show my boyfriend and I can agree on.

    Thanks for this opportunity. I love your blog.

  • Bogi Vrg

    I love this! I have been reading for years, and am happy to contribute to this post.

    1. I am originally from Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada (the very east coast). I am now living in Ottawa, Ontario…the capital of our beautiful country!

    2. I am a music teacher…running a music program at a local private school for ten years. I also teach piano privately out of my home in the evenings.

    3. I’m turning 33 next week!

    4. I love reading blogs to be informed about thing’s I may not know about. I love clothes, I love fashion, and I love them coming from someone who I relate to rather than from a large magazine or company. I take inspiration from the people I enjoy in life.

    5. Some blogs seem to be completely not based in reality. We don’t all get to spend our days drinking Starbucks and shopping, only to show off our haul later. I like people who seem to balance life and career and don’t make it a big “show off party” in their blog for the sake of showing off.

    6. I don’t have children, unless you consider our 4 cats children. We have not decided it we will have them. We like our lifestyle as it is.

    7. If I could live in any city, it would probably be Ottawa. It’s lovely.

    8. I would eat pasta of many forms…it’s my favorite!

    9. My favorite movie is Dirty Dancing.

    10. My favorite TV show is Modern Family!

  • OLGA VOLINSKY

    Loving this post! Fellow brooklyn blonde here!!!

    Where are you from? Brooklyn, NY – my parents and I migrated from Moscow in ’93 and I grew up in Bay Ridge Brooklyn. I’ve knew Bay Ridge to be so different from what it is currently. I’m loving all the new restaurants, coffee shops etc. Currently I live in Midwood and don’t really have a close connection with this area….we find ourselves going to Bay Ridge, Park slope and Red Hook (another area thats seen so much development in recent years)!

    What do you do for a living? – I’m in finance doing research and due diligence. It’s boring, but I don’t let it define who I am….I have many passions outside of that capacity – I’m a total foodie, have traveled a great deal throughout the world, enjoy theater/broadway/museums….love interior decor & planning events….and have found a newly found love for yoga.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 31. Fun fact, my husband and I have the exact same birthday so celebrating has been fun.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? I’ve gotten SO MUCH information & inspiration from reading blogs. I can ESPECIALLY relate to yours…you have educated me so much on the importance of basics in my wardrobe to really pull together a look and have cohesion. Also, SKINCARE!!!!!

    Least favorite? Can’t think of any. I guess sponsored posts from brands I don’t really identify with.

    Do you have children? want children? I have a daughter, Vivienne, who is 14 months. Having a child has really changed my life dramatically. It’s tough to juggle it all and I have to admit that I am STILL adjusting. Another child…not sure yet, but definitely not in the next several years.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be? Raised in NYC so I will always be my home. Sometimes I do dream about living a much more laid back lifestyle somewhere in Italy.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    What’s your favorite movie? too many to list

    favorite TV show? Billions, Odd Mom Out, OITNB, True Detective, Homeland, Shameless, Nurse Jackie, GOT

    Btw I saw you outside of Berdorf once and recognized you by your blue chanel bag…..was too intimidated to say hello. Regardless, LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog.

    Best,
    Olga V.

  • veerala

    Hey! Meant to reply earlier, but of course forgot until I saw your latest post 🙂 But here we go:

    Where are you from?
    I’m originally from Finland, but I’ve lived in Belgium, Brussels, for the last 3,5 years.

    What do you do for a living?
    I work for the European Union. I am an assistant in translation unit.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you?
    I just turned 30 🙂

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?
    There’s many reasons: escape from reality, seeking for ideas and inspiration, reading opinions and reviews of different products that I’m considering to buy…

    Least favorite?
    I usually try not to get annoyed by what bloggers write or post. If I don’t like it, I just skip it 🙂

    Do you have children? Want children?
    I have a boy on the way, my due date is in November 🙂 That is also why I love reading your blog, to get tips of what to buy etc.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be?
    At the moment I’m happy right here. But one day I would like us to live somewhere more sunny 😉

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
    Mmm.. Ice cream!

    What’s your favorite movie?
    I usually forget the plot immediately after watching the movie.. But I keep on saying The Piano, it is quite touching.

    Favorite TV show?
    Friends!

    And just to tell a bit more, I found your blog via Instagram and started following a bit. This was right before you announced your pregnancy. And since that I’ve been following the blog and Insta. I’m too old for snapchat 😉

  • Maria

    Hi Helena!

    I’ve read your blog for a few years now and never commented before.

    I’m from Iceland (If you haven’t been you should really make a trip someday – it’s only about 5 hour flight from NYC).

    I work as an attorney here at a law firm.

    I’m 34 years old (same as you I think :))

    My favorite things about reading blogs is getting to know the person a bit, as well as advice/posts about fashion, beauty etc. I love a great mix. I love hearing your baby posts 🙂 Least favorite would be too many pictures and when the majority of blog posts are sponsored. It has to be a mix in my opinion.

    I have two sons, one will be 5 years old later this year and then I have a 2 month old son.

    I lived in New York for my post graduate degree and I absolutely loved it. NYC is my favorite city in the world. I don’t know how it is to live there with kids but I would love to try. My second favorite city is Paris and I would also love to live there. Reykjavik is pretty good as well, except for the weather 🙂

    If I had to eat just one food for the rest of my life it would have to be pizza.

    I have so many favorite movies but my first favorite and the one that holds a special place in my heart is Princess Bride.

    My favorite TV show is Sex and the city!

  • Linda

  • Reka

    Hello, I’m from Europe, Transylvania (Cluj-Napoca) and I’m 28 years old. I’m following you since 4 years and I love your simple style and uber cool pictures.

  • Kate

    A little late to the game but I saw you mention this on snapchat so I thought I’d join in on the fun! Loved reading your answers, too!!

    Where are you from? I’m from Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada. It’s about an hour and a half from where I was born/raised. I moved from my small town to “the capital city” (still a smallish university/government city) for university & never left!

    What do you do for a living? I work for our provincial government, in the field of women’s equality.

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? I’m also 34! I’m not sure I knew we were the same age, so that was cool!

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? I love getting glimpses into the rest of their lives – styled photo shoots are always beautiful, but I love getting glimpses of their real, every day lives – what they wear on any given normal day, what they eat, what music they listen to, etc!

    Least favorite? I’ve grown to get turned off by blogs that are too perfect. When their child’s 1st birthday party looks more like a wedding (weird example, but I’ve just seen a lot of blogger’s kid’s birthdays or events that look like no other children would even be allowed to be there because they’d ruin it…) or when we never get to see anything that seems authentic.

    Do you have children? want children? I don’t have children yet, but I’d like to have one or two. Being 34 I kinda feel like the clock is ticking. Yikes!

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be? I’m really not sure. I’d love to visit big cities but I don’t think I’m a big city girl at heart.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Oh man, if calories weren’t an issue, I’d go with nachos (with guac!) and/or potato chips. I could eat chips all day, every day.

    What’s your favorite movie? Love Actually! I watch it at least once every December. Pretty Woman and My Girl are old favorites as well.

    favorite TV show? Hmm… this changes all the time. I mostly watch real estate/home reno shows like Property Brothers or Love it or List it, but I’ve been pretty obsessed with Downton Abbey this year.

  • Tamara

    I was born and raised in Alabama, but I live in Washington, DC.
    I’m an attorney.
    I’m 36 (37 in a couple of weeks!).
    I read blogs for inspiration, whether it’s personal style or home décor or to get new ideas for places to travel or tips and tricks to make everyday life just that much better.
    My least favorite thing about blogs is when I feel like everyone is posting about the same thing/lack of originality.
    I don’t have any children and I’m unsure if I want any.
    I always thought that I wanted to live in NYC at some point, but I’m pretty happy living in DC.
    If I could eat only one food for the rest of my life it would probably be bread. Or French fries. Or cereal.
    Picking a favorite anything is always tough for me, but I’ll go with The Color Purple. Or the original The Parent Trap. Or Imitation of Life. Or Steel Magnolias. Or Stepmom. Or The Devil Wears Prada. See? I can’t choose.
    My favorite TV show is The Golden Girls.

  • Neale Gilbert

    I am from Lexington, KY.

    I am an accountant at a media agency.

    I am 24.

    My favourite thing about reading blogs is seeing different styles and getting new outfit inspiration.

    My least favourite thing about reading blogs is the cliche poses and the unoriginal content. (Not on yours! Just blogs in general)

    I do not have children, but I hope to one day.

    I think I would live in New York. I visit often, and fall more in love each time.

    I think sushi is the one food I could eat for the rest of my life.

    My favourite movie is a tie between Breakfast at Tiffany’s and The Devil Wears Prada.

    My favourite TV show is probably Flipping Out.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? I love reading blogs, learning about the blogger and their outfits, learning new tips & tricks. It’s like following a TV show, wondering what will come next time 🙂

    Least favorite? Negative comments, I don’t like when people use these platforms to put down the blogger and other readers. I believe in criticism when it applies and it’s relevant, but if you follow a blog, it should be for fun and for your own happiness.

    Do you have children? want children? No, not sure yet

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be? Good question, I haven’t traveled that much so far in my life, but in the few places I have been, I would say NYC (classic), or Vancouver. Québec’s winter is pretty harsh (we are talking -25 sometimes) and it never ends. Summer is too short. If you come to Montreal one day, I highly recommend coming in the Summer (between June and August)

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? I never get tired of eating pasta.

    What’s your favorite movie? Lost in translation

    favorite TV show. Girls and Walking dead for what on at the moment. But I watch Friends and Sex & the City over and over and over again 🙂

  • Alli

    Program manager at a creative agency

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you?
    34

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?
    Being inspired! I love learning about others’ lives and interests. Plus the fashion and skincare! It’s so great to hear about helpful products and get inspired by real style. I love how you spin classic pieces so they never look dull.

    Least favorite?
    Sponsored posts- not always an issue,, but often they feel inauthentic with who the blogger is. Also, too much saturated content, i.e. the Nordstrom sale was EVERYWHERE

    Do you have children? want children?
    I have a 14 month old little boy- Samuel (I think we’re one and done- so portable, so much easier to travel and get out!). I loved following your pregnancy story- and the fact that you also had a boy. We have very similar birth stories. I enjoy reading about your experiences as a new mom- really hits home with me.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be?
    New York for sure!

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
    French fries and/or chocolate chip cookies

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? inspiration for my wardrobe and home. Your blog is distinct for me – I love your classic style, minimalism, and poise. Seriously!

    Least favorite? I have trust issues, too, knowing that behind the scenes, money is changing hands. I’ve slowly begun making purchases based on a blogger’s recommendation. Just this week, I ordered a white tank based on the blogger’s review of how it was not see-through. When it came in the mail, it was totally see through. Ahem… Also, with all the bloggers’ attention on the Nordstrom sale, I nearly overlooked some KILLER sales at Madewell, J Crew, LOFT. Makes me feel that bloggers devote attention selectively based on their partnerships, which may not reflect what I actually want to see.

    Do you have children? want children? No children but yes I do. I wonder about raising kids in NYC, so that adventure is hopefully up ahead!

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be? Jerusalem. I studied one year there, and the city has my heart. NYC is winning me over, too.

    Least favorite?
    In all honesty…. comparison! I have a great profession and a closet full of clothes but don’t always feel like it compares to what I see on the blogs

    Do you have children? want children?
    No, and I’m not sure but I need to figure that out soon

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be?
    No preference, but must be by water, have culture and an international airport. NYC is perfect for me right now

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
    Kale, because if I have to eat one food I don’t want it to make me feel gross. But if I got the benefits of a healthy diet and still ate whatever then…. pasta, hands down.

    The Devil Wears Prada!

  • P.

    I am from Hamburg, Germany
    I am 21
    I am a student (linguistics, sociology), part-time barista, chairwoman of a student-run consultancy
    I am interested in people, and, most importantly, how people write/talk. I also tend to be quite insecure about beauty/skin issues and blogs often help by showing how “cool people” also have to cope with these things.
    I do not enjoy posts that are obviously sponsored (even worse if the brand continues to appear frequently on the same blog). On the other hand, I am aware that this is very much a necessity to keep a blog alive.
    No children at the moment, preferably not in the next 5 years. Currently writing a term paper on mothers in the workforce, scares me a bit as I realise how hard it seems to be to combine career&children.
    Copenhagen!
    Some kind of Dean&David sweet potato salad
    Harold&Maude
    Suits

  • Brianna

    Hello Helena! I’ve been reading your blog for quite some time now and you were one of the 1st blogs that inspired me to follow bloggers and fashion in general!
    I live in West Vancouver, BC Canada and have lived here all my life.
    I’m still trying to figure out what I want to pursue in life! After high school, I got a job working at Whole Foods as a cashier. I also took a 6 month Veterinarian Assistant course last January and worked in 2 offices for about 4 months. I wasn’t happy in that job and decided to go back to Whole foods while I decided what I wanted. Right now I am a trainer there and get to interact with new people everyday. It’s truly a great place to work!
    I turned 21 in early March!
    My favourite things about reading blogs are A) the fashion and beauty inspiration and B) learning about and getting to know each individual blogger. It has become one of my most favourite things to do especially with my morning coffee in hand 🙂
    My least favourite thing is probably some of the sponsored content on certain blogs but I still love reading those to see how each blogger handles them differently!
    I most definitely want children! 2-3 is a good number. I am the youngest sibling and have an older brother and sister and love spending time with family.
    I would love to live in London! I visited for 1 day while my sister and I were in Paris in early April and loved it! We wish we had stayed longer!
    Choosing only 1 food is tough! I would say all you can eat sushi or the peanut butter chocolate chip cookies at Whole Foods (amazing!!)
    I will always love The Notebook!
    I love How To Get Away With Murder and Grey’s Anatomy!

  • Sofia

    Hi Helena,
    My name is Sofia and I’m French and Moroccan and I am currently living in Casablanca.
    I’m 16 so I’m still in High School.
    I love reading blogs for so many reasons: 1) Bloggers give good advices about everything: fashion, food, skin care, make up…
    2) It makes me happy, I love seeing bloggers fulfiling they dreams, traveling the world. It makesme realize that anything is possible and that maybe one day it will be my turn to chase my dreams
    3) I love being part of a community where we are all talking and sharing stuff about what we like.. Sometimes I even feel like some bloggers are my friends as I get to know them post after post.
    My least favorite thing about blogs is that nowadays so many bloggers write posts only if they are sponsored, like they don’t even care anymore about sharing with the readers, they just want money and free products.
    I want to have children but not right now (I’m 16 LOL)
    I would love to live in NYC, LA or London. Or maybe to go back to Paris, my hometown.
    This question about food is so hard ! But I would say salmon and chocolate.
    I love so many movies, but my favs are Titanic, The Notebook, Harry Potter and Gatsby.
    Currently, my two favorites TV Show are Grey’s Anatomy and The Originals. I also loved watching Gossip Girl.

    Where are you from?

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you?
    32

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?
    The visuals!

    Least favorite?
    When all the fashion and beauty girls post the SAME thing (same trend, same freebies, etc.)

    Do you have children? want children?
    No children. I’d love to have a child once I’ married (gotta go on a date with someone first, lol).

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be?
    I can’t wait to move back to L.A. It has its flaws, but I know the lay of the land, and I need to be close to the water! I eventually want to buy vacation properties/travel to other places in the world. Like, Paris is great, but I don’t want to LIVE there because they actually have a winter. Cold is not my thing. :p

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?
    Avocados! I know, super cliche. Back in California, I had an avocado tree in my yard. I miss that!

    What’s your favorite movie?
    Hmm…I can’t narrow that down. I mostly watch documentaries.

    favorite TV show?
    Game of Thrones!

    Hi Helena! As always, thanks for your gorgeous blog! This is very generous of you, so I’ll take the opportunity to share a bit about myself.

    I’m originally from Baku, but I’m Armenian, so back in ’88, during another wave of racial cleansing, my family escaped to Moscow and eventually to America. I was 12 years old and now I’m 40 🙂

    I live and work in beautiful Seattle. I am a technical writer at Amazon (before that – Microsoft) by day, and at nights – I cut, pin, design, and sew – fashion design and sewing is a very serious hobby of mine. You can check out the stuff I make on http://www.trapkeybygaia.com (since you too speak Russian, I don’t need to decipher the name of my blog to you) 🙂

    I’ve been following your blog with increased attention during the last year, because I too got pregnant and I was just a few months behind you. I just had my baby – a gorgeous baby girl Gabriela. She was born on July 26th, 8 days early from her original due date. So now I’m all about breastfeeding and taking care of her and marveling at how she’s changing day by day.

    Your blog became a fantastic source of information as I prepared Gabriela’s nursery. Many of the things that I bought, I originally spotted on your blog – so THANK YOU for the most valuable information.

    Keep up the blog and stay gorgeous! Love your cool, traditional yet edgy style!

I work full time in marketing and sales for a retail company. If I could choose one city too live in, it would have been London. I love visual blogs, with large pictures and not soo much text. Just because I don’t have the time too read lagre segment of text. I tend to not like blogs who just shows perfect all the time. It has to be a balance between perfect and real life. If I could just eat one thing for the rest of my life it would have been eggs. And as for movies I am not a movie person, l am more into TV-shows and my favorite is and will always be, Sopranos ( with a strong competition from Game of Thrones ). I also love love love the show Girls.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs?

    I love getting inspiration for fashion, beauty, life, food, travel, basically every aspect of life so when I find a blog with relatable content it draws me in.

    Least favorite?

    I understand that bloggers need to earn money in order for their blog to be successful and continue being successful but what pushes me away as a reader is when the sponsored content is very blatantly disconnected with your normal/regular posts or content which makes it seem forced.

    Do you have children? want children?

    No children yet but I would ultimately love to have a family when the right time comes.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be?

    Right now I am obsessing over the idea of moving to Southern California.

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be?

    This will have to be seafood – any type of seafood will do.

    What’s your favorite movie?

    Favorite movie will have to be Up and Finding Nemo. These are probably the most “adult” and emotionally capturing animated (or ANY) film in my opinion.

    favorite TV show?

    My current fave is an oldie – King of Queens. Re-watching every single season.

    What do you do for a living? Technical Designer (Fashion Industry)

    If you don’t mind answering, how old are you? 30.

    What’s your favorite thing about reading blogs? I like reading the outfit sections and also bloggers sharing their personal life whether it’s relationship and or being a parent.

    Least favorite? When a blogger only posts outfits that are well over $10,000K. Realistically, the majority of readers are either college students and our people with lower incomes. So it’s hard to think we can afford brands like that. It’s just unrealistic, brings false hood to many readers trying to get motivation and or inspiration.

    Do you have children? want children? No children yet. And yes, I hope so within the next 3 years.

    If you could live in any city in this entire world, where would it be? I am not much of a city person, but either New York and or Chicago (spring/fall season’s only).

    If you could eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Sour gummy bears.

    What’s your favorite movie? Tie between “Its Complicated” and “The Devil Wears Prada”.

    favorite TV show? That 70’s Show
