How did you come up with the name of your blog Oh gosh! Maycie After Five is such a silly name isn't it? I started my blog as a fun and creative hobby for me to do after work. I get off work at five so that's why I decided to name my blog Maycie After Five. when where you introduced to fashion Ever since my mom let me put together my own daily outfits. Maybe about 4 years old. how do you describe your style I would describe my st
yle as easy and comfortable. I hate looking too fancy. I cringe at the thought. what made you start a fashion blog It's a really nice way to relax after a long day at work. That's why I started. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I don't think I bring anything in particular to the fashion blog world. I'm no fashion journalist for sure. I'm just having fun connecting with people who have a passion for shoes and clothes like I do. how is your style different than everyone else I don't know that my style is different. I'm jus
t a girl from a midsized California town who happens to love fashion. who is your inspiration My style inspiration growing up was my mom and still is. She has the most effortless style I've ever seen. what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog That less is more. who is your favorite designer I love Alexander Wang. His designs are so classic but with a twist. Everything I wish my wardrobe to be. what piece is 
a must have in your closet My husband's grandmother gave me a vintage fur coat that her husband gave her as a wedding anniversary gift way back in the 60s. It holds a special place in my heart. I say it's a must have because it's warm and fuzzy. Everyone needs at least one of those in their closet.
how did you come up with the name of your blog I started to blog not long ago after I bought my first Jeffrey Campbell Shoes, yes the buckled ankle boots in brown leather. So I decided to name my blog Brown Platform, inspired by the shoes from JC, my first JC shoes. I'm so grateful to Jeffrey Campbell for designing such amazing shoes. 
when where you introduced to fashion Since I was in secondary school. It was because my eldest sister. She used to be a shoes freak/collector back then and not to mention she also loves to buy tons of fashion magazines until now. Since then, I can't not love fashion. how do you describe your style Well, I don't have any specific style, one day I could dress girly and another day I could dress the opposite. I just love to mix and match everything that I have as long as it looks nice and comfortable, but catchy at the same time. what made you start a fashion blog Because of LOOKBOOK.nu. I started using LOOKBOOK.nu since 2009 by posting my looks and share them on it and since then, there are some people asking me to blog about my look. At first, I didn't really c
are bout that, but then I don't think it's a bad idea to make myself a blog so that I could write more about the look on the blog or whatever I want to. With an assistance from my older sister in Singapore, there is Brown Platform. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I am a petite, I'm only 156cm tall. To be a fashion blogger you don't have to be tall or short, skinny or fat and whatsoever. As long as you believe in yourself and not afraid of exposing yourself/your style, you can be a fashion blogger no matter who you are. how is your style different than everyone else Because of my shoes, perhaps? If you noticed, I always love to buy/have wicked, unique and unusual shoes no matter what they are (cheap or expensive, branded or unbranded shoes). However, I do love and wear normal s
hoes too though not as much. 
people that visits your blog Unique? Weird? Unusual? (shoes) yeahh, sometimes weird can come out nice =) who is your favorite designer Actually, I don't really pay much attention to designer. But as for now, I love shoe designer Jeffrey Campbell. He is really amazing, I couldn't stop loving and wanting JC shoes more and more. what piece is a must have in your closet Black and white tank tops, loose tank tops. Basic wear is a must have.
how did you come up with the name of your blog I didn’t put much thought into my blog name to be honest. I don’t remember why, but I’ve always adored the word “allure” and have used it multiple times in the past, including in my grade 11 marketing and international business project. when where you introduced to fashion
how do you describe your style My style is very simple and feminine. I try to go along with the saying, “less is more”. My closet mainly consists of light pastels, neutrals, and featherweight pieces. what made you start a fashion blog I was inspired after coming across Marta’s blog (With Love Gabrielle), a fellow Torontonian blogger. It wasn’t just her personal style that impressed me but the fact that she came forth and spoke
about the most fascinating things! I was interested in finding myself an outlet to express my personal style, as well as my personal, everyday life. I didn’t expect to see my blog grow so much throughout the past two years - I’m extremely thankful for my group supportive readers! what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world Hopefully, something unique and different. I want to prove that by simply recycling old pieces, you can construct ravishing outfits. I also want to gravitate towards showing others that you don’t need to spend thousands of dollars just to put together something 
fashion worthy. how is your style different than everyone else I can’t really set foot on how my style is different from all the rest since I retrieve inspiration from many different sources, but I believe that it is important to dress according to your personality. who is your inspiration The list is endless, but to name a few: Olivia Palermo, Kate Bosworth, Leighton Meester, and of course, other fellow fashion bloggers. what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog To inspire others to dive into fashion. who is your favorite designer Chloé, even though I only 
own one item from them. I can’t help but get all ecstatic after a new collection is launched. Their collections are always so gorgeously, well put together. The mix of silks, pleats, whites, and minimalism always grasps my attention. what piece is a must have in your closet Blouses! They’re so versatile and light. You can pretty much work them into every outfit and they can be worn throughout all four seasons.
how did you came up with the name of your blog it was pretty easy. I was searching for something that everybody can remember and as we all love and know those "i heart alice " shirts, i camp up with" i heart Alice". And Alice is my second name. 
when where you introduced to fashion my mummy use to buy me strange clothes. And i said, "never again!!!" how you describe your style it is always the same, i love leggings. I love shirts so i wear them. It isn't glamorous. It isn't sporty. It isn't chic. It's just me.
what made you start a fashion blog I didn't start a fashion blog. I just started a blog as a visual diary of me. I wanted to share my ideas my thoughts and my inspirations. I i blog about things that inspires me and that is mostly fashion.
what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I'm just another crazy shopping addict, but shopping is much more intimate for me how is your style different than everyone else I'll show the fashion world that not every girl/woman has to be super-model tall to look good in clothes
who is your inspiration Real ordinary every day people, who just dress how they want to dress. What impression do you want to leave on the people that visit your blog
it is not about how good you are in school, what size you wear or how much money you earn. Everything is about feelings. who is your favorite designer Lala Berlin and Kaviar Gauche (German Designer) What piece is a must have in your closer killer high heels...
ss myself :) what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I try to talk to my readers like they're friends and as a result many have become just that. But I include my own life experiences and because I am in the entertainment industry I try to bring those things to my blog as well. How is your style different than everyone else I grew up on the east coast but I have lived in Los Angeles for 9 years so I think my style has evolved into a blend of the two. I learned to dress more chic and sophisticated
on the east coast but California has forced me to translate that into a more casual everyday way of dressing. I also wear things in my outfit posts that I would really wear out on the street. I don't try to style for the pages of Vogue when posting. (as fun as that might be, it's just not practical) so I come up with outfits that are wearable. who is your inspiration I am inspired every morning when I go to all the 
other wonderful fashion blogs. I think we all inspire each other. I know I learn a lot from them and hopefully they learn things from me. what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog I want to bring a little sunshine into their day. Life can get hectic and I
feel like when you visit your favorite blogs you do so as an escape even if a momentary one. I try to keep things positive and hopefully that makes their day a little brighter. who is your favorite designer Christian Louboutin. I love shoes. I can feel amazing in anything if I love the shoes I have on. I have a pair of classic black CL pumps and every time I put them on I feel happy. what piece is a must have in your closet My H&M breton striped 3/4 sleeve top. It's a go to piece that I can grab, throw on with jeans and heels and know I am going to look out together. My other (can I pick 2?!) is a black mini by Max Studio that I thrifted several years ago. It's so versatile and can be worn for day or night.
how did you come up with the name of your blog I was nicknamed Ducky long ago by two guys, my elementary school mates. The nickname persisted through the years and it really grew on me so when I was deciding on a name for my blog, I knew it would be something with "duck" in it. I also considered some other names, for example Crime Of Fashion, but Duckalicious won. Now I'm actually happy I didn't choose anything with the word "fashion" in it as I consider my blog a style blog much more than a fashion one. when where you introduced to fashion I liked to browse through fashion mags for as long as I can remember, 
but the "moment of truth" for me was the discovery of fashion/style blogs. They really sucked me in and I soon decided I wanted my own. how do you describe your style If I had to describe my style in one word, I'd prefer to call it "eclectic" (but to be honest, that might be a bit of an overstatement). I like many styles and especially mixing them up. I wear what I like and what I feel like at the moment without thinking too much about it or trying to label it. what made you start a 
fashion blog I'd been checking out others' blogs for a few months already when it suddenly dawned on me: "Hey, I wanna do this too!" what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world Besides the obvious (more or less creative outfit photos), there's also my attitude, wit and criticism which I often miss in this "world". how is your style different than everyone else I don't pretend my style is something extra special. It is what it 
is and I like it, that's what I find the most important. The biggest difference between me and many other bloggers might be that I don't own any expensive designer items and don't give a crap about brands. I despise snobbism and I find wasting huge amounts of money on a clothing item almost perverse. who is your inspiration My favorite style bloggers, of course (you can see my list somewhere on the
left side of my blog). If I had to choose a celebrity style icon (I hate this expression, but anyway), it would be Roisin Murphy. I also like Iris Apfel's style a lot. what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog I had to think about this one a little. Well, I guess it would be nice if they realized how stylish, smart and funny I was! =) who is your favorite designer Believe it or not, I don't have one. I'm yet to be astonished by someone's designs in such extent that I'd want to call them my absolute favorite.
when where you introduced to fashion I was introduced to fashion at a very young age. I loved to dress up as a young girl and experimenting with different styles of clothing. I am an art student so naturally I was attracted to the art of fashion and absolutely loved how open and expressive clothing can be. how do you describe your style Very versatile, a bit of edge to a feminine look, a look from all decades preceding the 90’s with a modern twist. I hate to restrict myself to a certain style since I love a lot of different styles.
what made you start a fashion blog In the beginning, my blog didn’t start off as a fashion blog. I just needed somewhere to express my thoughts, but as time passed I started to document my outfits for fun and to share new pieces that I was excited/happy to get my hands on. My first outfit post was in March 2010. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world Me myself and I. What I am passionate about, what I love and my aesthetics.
how is your style different than everyone else It’s very eclectic. I can go from extreme minimalism to a more ‘busy’ look. But I basically wear what I want when I want. who is your inspiration I have many! They include models off duty, Kate Moss, Alexa Chung, CocoRosie + Regina Spektor (just to name a couple), numerous fashion blogs and of course Tommy Ton’s striking photos!
what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog A young girl who is chasing her dreams and defying society’s rules. who is your favorite designer I love Alexander Wang. what piece is a must have in your closet A good pair of wedges/clogs is forever a staple of mine!
How did you come up the name of your blog Wasted Wardrobe kind of has a double meaning for me. My hometown of Milwaukee is definitely a beer-centric city, for one! Also, I used to get all gussied up then end up either staying in or just hitting a dive bar where no one cares about fashion... So I'd always say something like 'Oh, another night for my wasted wardrobe.' But I enjoy getting dressed no matter what the circumstances, so I think Wasted Wardrobe is really just me representing Brew City in the blog world. when were you introduced to fashion Hmm, well, I do remember my mom telling me about the first day of kindergarten and how I threw a tantrum because I wanted to pick out my own outfit, not the little Jordache dress she had planned for me. Mom won that round, but now I 
wear whatever I want! :) how do you describe your style I feel that my style today still retains some of the influence that made a big impression on me in my youth. Grunge was huge when I was in middle school, when I got my first pair of Docs (silver!) and that eventually morphed into this kind of cartoon goth when I was in high school. I think I tend to fall back to those styles, not in their pure form, but in little glimmers of inspiration. I consider myself an adventurous person and that definitely comes through in my personal style... I'll try anything! I think that ultimately my personal style revolves around whatever accessories I feel like wearing. I'm a hat freak and I have wayyyy to
o many socks and stockings, which I've been collecting for well over a decade. I like to pay attention to current trends, but reinterpret them in ways that speak to me. It's a fun game. what made you start a fashion blog I studied fashion design and journalism in school and my blog is a product of a class assignment that I just wanted to continue with since I enjoyed it so much. I don't have many people here to talk fashion or style with here in Milwaukee, so it's a way for me to communicate with people who have the same interests. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I think I represent a city that isn't known for fashion, isn't known for having tremendous style. For the most part, I'd say that people here don't care to pay attention to what's on the runways, but I use my blog to say 'Hey, Milwaukee can get in on it too!' h
ow is your style different than everyone else I'm a bargain hunter! I like to get a lot of bang for my buck, so I'm constantly sniffing out deals. I almost never buy anything full price. Rather than pointing out how expensive my outfit is, I point out how little I paid. But that doesn't mean I don't appreciate quality. Shoes are my splurge items, even though I usually get them at a sale price. Life's too short to wear poorly made shoes. who is your inspiration I think mood is more my inspiration than an actual person. But I really enjoy Lykke Li's style. She's got a really dark bohemian thing going on that I find myself leaning towards, plus she's a really intense live performer. She just lets it all out and flails around. Oh, Daphne Guinness, Kate Lanphear and Catherine B
aba are all women who I love to keep an eye on. I think I just like badass bitches, pardon my language. what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog I hope that readers feel inspired to be bold, to wear whatever their little heart desires, but at the same time realize that it doesn't take a fortune to have fun with fashion. who is your favorite designer It's really hard to say one designer specifically because I'm big on mixing looks. It all depends on the day. But Ann Demeulemeester, Haider Ackermann, Helmut Lang... Alexander Wang accessories always get me in the gut. Gareth Pugh's videos get me all excited for his clothes... what piece is a must have in your closet A good hat! I feel naked without one. I think wearing a fun hat just makes the day brighter. :)
