English translation below:

1.       What made you want to start a blog?
I started blogging in mid 2008 and initially started blogging as a visual diary as a means to express myself as well as a way to explore fashion journalism. Since then it has opened up many windows of opportunity for me including advertising opportunities, sponsored blog posts as well as invitations to media only events such as Rosemount Australian Fashion Week (RAFW) and has also introduced me into the world of fashion styling.
In a sense being a fashion blogger means you are three roles rolled into one: photographer, journalist and stylist. I guess I just chose to pursue the life of a stylist while juggling my blog (http://littleblackbook.typepad.com) as well as university. It hasn't been an easy road, I am still learning everyday how to maintain and manage my blog as a informal "career". (I have put quotation marks as I would love it to be my career and could possibly see it as happening however at this stage I have yet to attain this...)

2.       What makes you a successful blogger?
As there are infinite number of fashion and style related blogs on the world wide web, there is a strong need to create a blog that is unique and has a special niche. I guess I began Little Black Book to act as not only a fashion blog which reflects my personal style but also as a semi directory for my local readers where they can find local sales in Sydney and for my local and international readers alike - to explore some amazing emerging Australian talent (as well as already established) and international runway show reviews. My advice is to blog because you have a passion for it not because you want fame or fortune, be sure to update on a regular basis, write original content and have a unique voice.

3.       How would you describe your own personal style?
My personal style is a mix of minimalistic blacks, with splashes of colour - my wardrobe consists of high waisted skirts, lots of black dresses, casual tees, leggings, a killer collection of shoes and gold jewellery. I am a huge fan of accessorizing: layered and statement jewellery, particularly gold hardware. You would typically see me wearing at least 3 or 4 rings on each hand, a few necklaces and a bangle.

4.       You are the winner of the Best Fashion Blog of Australian Fashion Awards 2010, what is your next level?
Winning the Best Fashion Blog 2threads.com Australian Fashion Awards 2010 was a huge milestone for me and I still can't believe I won it! 2011 has been a pretty amazing year so far and I wish to work harder on Little Black Book as a blogger and also build myself up as a freelance stylist. In terms of my blog, I hope to eventually publish a blog post every day (or more), get to attend fashion weeks around the world and network outside of Australia a bit more. I will be attending NYFW later this year so hopefully I can get the ball rolling so to speak...

5.       What’s your take on Australian Style?
Australian style a unique sense of style as it is highly influenced by our unique weather patterns and climate. Australian style consists of a lot of sheer fabrics and skin in summer and a lot of layering and dark palettes in winter. It is most definitely more relaxed and less high friction as say french style but has its own edginess to it. Australian style is strongly influenced by local designers, beach culture and a more experimental take on fashion.

7.       Where would you go shopping in Sydney?
Sydney is a melting pot for amazing local and international designers. The best thing about Sydney is that you can find a snag a killer buy anywhere from a high end designer boutique to a local market stall, Sydney has it all. I would recommend: The Galleries Victoria - Incu, which stocks a large variety of local and international designers such as Therese Rawsthorne, Lover to Alexander Wang, Marc Jacobs and more. Definitely Westfield Sydney which holds amazing Australian labels such as sass & bide, Zimmermann, Ksubi, Tigerlily to International labels such as Miu Miu, Hugo Boss, Prada.
For vintage lovers head over to Crown Street in Surry Hills for amazing vintage stores like Grandma Takes a Trip, Zoo Emporium and C's Flashback.
I also love Queen Street, Woollahra and Oxford Street, Paddington for their beautiful cafe and unique boutique stores.
Finally for any market fiends out there I recommend Glebe markets for reasonable priced fashion, art and homewares, Surry Hills Markets for vintage clothing, Fringe Bar markets for emerging designers and Paddington markets for more high end goods.

8.       Fashion tips for A/W 2011? And what are your wish lists for this season?
Tips for AW 11: Do not throw away any old fur or leather pieces. Keep them as they will always be in fashion. With the colder months its all about layering and creating shapes and textures (as well as staying warm!). Key pieces to look out for: shearling leather jackets are huge this winter, cigarette pants, harem tailored pants are still in trend right now. Navy, caramel, a dash of leopard print, khaki and of course black are the colours to wear this Autumn/Winter 2011 and playing with textures is essential.

My wishlist:
Chanel tweed cropped jacket from RTW Fall 2011, an amazing caramel cape/coat, cropped cashmere shorts.
