What got you into blogging?
An urge to photograph what I wear and then share it with others. I also enjoy making collages and wanted a place to post them. I researched blogspot and liked it.

What is the most asked question from your readers?
What products do I use for my hair.

Well, your hair IS amazing. How long have you been growing your hair and how long is it now?
Thank you. :) I had it past my waist and it took about 2 and a half years. I just cut it last week but it's still pretty long to most (to me it seems so short though.)

How do you decide what to wear each day?
Sometimes I wake up in the morning wanting to wear a new pair of shoes other times I find stuff in my closet that I haven't seen in months and really want to liven them up again. Lately I've been rocking my "vintage" True Religion jeans from a few years ago with my Alexander Wang tank.

You are great at covering different styles and trends. What’s you favourite style to wear?
Aw :) thank you! I love grunge but am always pulled towards feminine and classic. I think I fall somewhere in between modern and romantic 1950's?

How many pairs of heels do you own?
I don't even know! (this must be bad) Too many. They are all in boxes and have their own closet.

What do you do and what’s in a normal day for you?
I'm a part time writer from home. I also occasionally play stylist to some local clients on the weekend. A regular day for me is waking up by 9am, having coffee while I write and work. I would say that blogging is my other job.

The last time I went to New York a few readers stopped and introduced themselves to me. I always feel shy when it happens but at the same time am just as excited to meet them.

And Lastly, tell us the meaning or reason behind your blog name?
My dream is to one day see Paris, France. I wanted a "French" sounding name and thus: Fashion Chalet was born. A little "house" that showcases my day to day inspirations and dressing lifestyle.
