You know how there are innumerable stars in the universe that we are not even aware of? Well, its the same in the fashion bloggers community. In my attempt to reach out and in turn be illuminated by such stars, I joined the Independent Fashion Bloggers. That's where I met the very fun and chirpy Abbie from
Fahion Loves You, My Dahling. Yeah, you read it right! That's what her blog is named and if you ask me, its a testament to her delightful personality. There a cute story behind her blog's name which you will get to read by moving ahead in this post. So, as you must have guessed, I interviewed her and she interviewed me. I am posting her interview here and she will be posting my interview on
her blog. So, after savored and enjoyed some quality time her here, go over to her place and read my answers to these very same questions.
So without any further delays, Stylistas and Fashionistas, I present to you the ABBIE.
1. Describe your sense of style/fashion.
My style is quite bohemian/indie/preppy. I love to miss it up with biker boots one day and a loose fit hoodie the next. My style changes all the time. I love graphic tees and skinnies. White pumps I couldn't live without and I love boots. Brown leather boots are my favorite. I'm recently getting in to layering, it is actually quite practical in the snowy weather. Fashionable and practical. Fabulous!
2. How did your blog get its name?
It's quite funny actually, um.. me and my best friend Emily - who has a music blog, everybody should really check out it's awesome, we have this thing where we call each other 'dahling', in this stupid voice. It's from the British sketch show Little Britain, a character called Bubbles says it all the time, it cracks me up. Yeah, 'Fashion Loves You My Dahling', was just a spur of the moment decision. It has a ring to it. I like it. It sounds fabulous.
3. If there was one thing about fashion (in general) you could change/improve, what would it be?
I've said this before, and it would have to be judgementalism. I hate how people feel they can judge each other, it causes people to feel belittled, and it knocks confidence; which an outfit is incomplete without. In the 90's fashion was free. Now there are limits. The brave ones break the mode, then you have the people that wish they could push boundarys but feel too afraid. I admire the ones that dare to wear socks and sandals. As a preference I wouldn't do such a thing because the norm is that you mustn't do that, it's an unwritten rule. Which I think is sad that there are rules in fashion. If fashion is expression and about expressing our own styles, and expression is art, who has the right to judge art?
4. If you could host a grand dinner for 10 celebs or famous personalities(living or dead), who would you invite?
Um...very good question, I like it, okay toughy. The ones that inspire me the most would have to be top of the list. Agyness Deyn, I love her fashion sense. Blake Lively, she seems so lovely and I would love the latest scoop on Gossip Girl. Third party guest, Leonardo Di Caprio, he's gorgeous and I love his films. Colin Farrell. Everyone loves a bad boy! Madonna, she has played a huge roll in the way music effects fashion, and who wouldn't want to be able to say 'I met madonna'. The Queen of England, it's a once in a life time oppurtunity to meet the Queen and I would love to. Okay, that's 6. Um..Fearne Cotton. She's british, uber cool and lovely, plus her style inspires me. 7 would be an entire band if that's allowed, The Rapture. They are AMAZING! I love their songs, 'No sex for Ben' and 'The Devil'. LadyHawke would have to be number 8. Great musician. Elvis Presley would be number 9, I had a huge crush on him when I was like nine. He was gorgeous! Number 10 would be ...hmm... Russel Brand. I think he's hilarious.
5. Rapid fire:
Your fashion icon/s- Agyness Deyn, Blake Lively and Fearne Cotton.
Your favorite trend of all times- Anything 80's. But not leg warmers or the whole 'Fame' thing. Stage school brats scare me.

One item in your closet you can't live without- My knitted rwaistcoat. So lovely!
bags or shoes or shades?- Bags. But better than bags, boots!
If you were not blogging about fashion, you would be blogging about- Music probably, or films. I love music.
Your autobiography would be called- Abs. My name is Abbie, but those closest to me call me Abs.
Your favorite places to shop/ Your favorite designers- Urban Outfitters, Topshop, River Island and just random vintage stores you stumble across.
