Fashion Observer Magazine Dec. 2014 | Page 58

When did you first fall in love with fashion? I couldn’t pinpoint when exactly, but you could say from a young age my weekly pocket money would go towards a fashion magazine of some sort. When I grew up it moved over to fashion blogs, but I definitely still fuel my magazine obsession every now and then. As soon as I got my first job shopping definitely become a bit of a hobby… So it’s a good thing now my hobby is on a budget! People seem to think that being a blogger isn’t that much work, but you put some serious hours into A Broke Girls Blog. What does it take to run your blog? Honestly, I never realized how much work went into it either until I started A Broke Girl’s Blog. Studying full-time, working part time and managing the site and social media, it can get quite overwhelming at times, but if you love what you’re doing then it’s not “work”. I do a lot over the weekend, so that I am prepared with content during the week. Behind A Broke Girl’s Blog there is a lot of bargain hunting instore and online, and liaising with appropriate labels and stores. Then there is the photos and writing the blog posts, whilst also posting on social media every day. There is a lot to do, and there are times I’ve pushed uni and sleep to the side to get it done, but I remember why I started and how much fun I have doing it and it gets me through it all! What would you say is the best part about being a fashion blogger? I feel like my shopping is justified (haha). I love that I am sharing my own style in my own way (on a budget) and that people like it and get involved. That is probably the most rewarding thing of all!
