how did you come up with the name of your blog? I first wanted to call it something with my name in it (pretty creative, huh? =P) but I couldn't think of anything intelligent that wasn't already out there and so I took my second name - Cindy - and immediately thought of cinderella. I think it kinda fits 'cause it reminds me of fairy tales, dressed and childhood.

when where you introduced to fashion? - I've always been interested in clothes, especially as I child. I would play dress up with my mom's old clothes for hours and pretend to be different characters as I changed clothes. But there was also a time in my teens where I wasn't too much into fashion and just wore what was comfortable. how do you describe your style? It's hard to describe because it's always changing and evolving. I love to experiment with different styles, shapes, looks and materials. That's what makes fashion so much fun to me - I can be somebody else everyday. Overall I'd say I dress pretty feminine and girly but I also like to dress a little more masculine and tough from time to time. what made you start a fashion blog? - I started my blog as a creative outlet for everything fashion related.

I had tons of inspiration folders saved on my hard drive and used to post my outfits on chictopia and I just wanted to have a place to put it all. And it seemed like a lot of fun ^o^

what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world? I don't know if I bring anything unique to the fashion world but I just want to inspire people and share my thoughts.

how is your style different than everyone else? I have no idea. haha. I just wear what I feel like and don't care about other people's opinions too much. If I like something on me I wear it.

who is your inspiration? fashion magazines, bloggers, streetstyle blogs and random people on the street

what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog? I hope a positive one ^o^

I've been following this young goddess for some time now...to be honest she is a big influence to Fashion Jinx...OK there's some what of a fashion-crush. But, after you visit Barkatt-Barbro you will understand....when where you introduced to fashion? I used to sneak into my grandmothers’ attic and steal her clothes; she had quite the collection from her young and stylish days! Then I’d tuck them under my sweater, borrow some shoes and run to the bathroom across the hall to try them on. I think I was about nine or ten at the time. Since then I’ve been quite the shopaholic! I fell in love with the aspect of personal style quite early in my life; I was instantly fascinated, and I’ve been captivated ever since. But, my turning point and introduction to fashion was probably last year. I opened my eyes and saw a whole new world of fashion and style. I think this was mostly because of how well the trends of A/W 2008 suited me and my personality.how do you describe your style?I recently tried to answer a similar question, but I generally don’t like to label myself in any way. However, I would say “romantic rocker meets elegance with a pinch of emotional diva; black edition”. I change a lot; some days I’m all about rock n’ roll, and other days I’ll wear the most elegant dress I can lay my hands on. I guess I have a borderline fashion-personality disorder. What doesn’t change is my love for shoes! what made you start a fashion blog? Actually, I never intended to start a fashion blog! When I started blogging I wanted to share my Norwegian view of the world with others. Fashion just made it more fun! There is so much beauty out there; this is just a way of sharing some of my favorites! what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world? Hopefully I bring ideas and inspiration, strong fashion statements and of course my own personality! Generally, I just bring my perception of the crazy/beautiful world of fashion.how is your style different than everyone else? I’m all about black! And I love mixing things up: like for example putting on my dress backwards, using my skirts as dresses and stealing my lovers’ clothes, just to mention some. I’m creative, but I don’t think I’m different from everyone else; I’m just me :) who is your inspiration? Everyone? I don’t have one person that inspires me; but I tend to be drawn to the unknown, the girl in the background, the mysterious and kind of odd girls in random pictures and editorials. If someone is wearing black, I am immediately intrigued! I find a lot of inspiration in traveling, mixing up my own closet, people, my favorite designers, new designers, other bloggers and random pictures. I also love studying people that dare to wear colors and patterns, probably because I usually don’t. what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog? Preferably a good one! :) I want my guests to see the importance of personal style, because anyone can be trendy! And I would like people to remember both my style and photos, and hopefully re-visit me some other time.

how did you come up with the name of your blog? Everyone has always said I'm 'Doe eyed', and deer are one of my favorite animals; They're so swift and quiet, so I thought Silent Doe was perfect. when where you introduced to fashion? Probably when I was in the womb, haha. My mom has always had an amazing sense of style and always taught me about the fashion world. I think one of my earliest memories was sitting in the bathroom with her kit of Chanel, Ralph Lauren, and YSL makeup sprawled all over the floor having her do my lipstick when I was two years old. I'll always associate bright red Chanel lipstick with that moment in time.how do you describe your style? High fashion goth, haha. I grew up listening to my mom and dad's old goth, punk, new wave and hair metal albums, so I think music and different subcultures has have had a huge influence on my style.what made you start a fashion blog? I've always read fashion blogs, even from the time I was 11 or 12, so I thought 'why not start my own?'. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world? I think my blog is different from a lot of fashion blogs out there, I post a lot about fashion, but I also post about different photographers, artists and music as well. I mainly feature darker fashion designers, items or collections, but I always like to try to include inexpensive items, because I know no matter how fabulous the latest $800 pair

of designer heels are, not everyone (including myself) can always afford to buy those items. I think there are so many inexpensive designers and brands out there, so why not take advantage of it!?how is your style different than everyone else? I like to mix a lot o different elements to my style; goth, punk, high fashion, old lady stuff, fetish wear, all sorts of different stuff. I love simple colors like black, white, grey, silver, I'm not much of a "color" person I guess you could say, hahaha.who is your inspiration? I have so many different fashion icons it's ridiculous, haha. I get a lot of inspiration from old photos from the late 70's, early 80's of the underground punk and goth culture and musicians. I really love Vivienne Westwood, Gareth Pugh, Betsey Johnson, Siouxsie Sioux, Soo Catwoman, Pam Hogg, ahhh there are so many! I could go on for days about who inspires me!what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog?I want to inspire people to dress and be whoever they want to be, regardless of what other people think. Fashion and art has helped me with confidence in so many ways, and if I can help others with the same thing, that's what I would love most.


Thank you so much!

how did you come up with the name of your blog? it's actually just based on a whim, and i didn't really know where i get them. it sounds a bit cheesy, but it expresses how i like to be colored by my fashion choices.
when where you introduced to fashion? i've liked fashion ever since i were small--toddler, even. i've always remembered people by what they're wearing. As i grew up, i became very fond of styling my friends and browsing the internet for designers and shows. i became very interested in being a fashion designer.
how do you describe your style? My style does not come from a high-end branded stuff. I work with what i got. Hand me downs, thrifteds, bargain sales, but everytime i put on an outfit, i'll make sure it's unique and uncommon! :)
what made you start a fashion blog? i started the blog to see how far my fashion and style grow, and to join the blogosphere, which is a wonderful place to be indulged in fashion.
what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world? i think what i bring is a style that does not need a lot of paychecks to achieve. i show people that even without high end brands, you can still be stylish and chic!
how is your style different than everyone else? I love to add a little indonesian inspired clothing item into my outfit. wether it's Batik, or a handmade butterfly top from Bali, on the whole, i like to dress differently than people would usually wear their daily outfits, and be eye catching!

who is your inspiration? My inspiration is everywhere! the streets, the blogs, the shows, fashion is everywhere.
what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog? Fashion came within yourself and with how you work with what you have! :)

COLOR ME FASH...

PART II of the Jinx Jean feature...These young ladies where also asked the following... what do you look for in a pair of jeans and what should a pair of jeans do for you? Enjoy the answers and check out their blogs...

I look for the shapes of the jeans - I don't want anything that'll be unflattering... Make my legs look toned under all that fabric! They should also make me feel comfortable. :)Feel free to ask any more questions :)

Absolutely Oblivious

In the first place I look for comfort in my jeans. It´s important to choose well the height and that neither are too tight. A basic model could turn in the perfect jeans to complete your look. Then depending on the trends I look for different colors, destroyed, cigarettes, flared, with patches, tie-dey....
A perfect jeans is that one that for the day accompanied of t-shirts obtains an image comfortable and relaxed very sport. More elegant with white shirt and in the night with a good heel it can make you feel very sexy.

First, I match it wit everything, flats, heels, tennis, t-shirts, blouses,with sequins, silk or fur it depends on if it is for a night or day look.

Second, Just to fit me perfectly.

Thank you dear!

But you must believe that JINX will live on. This is my lovely wife Meshelle and she is taking over, so please give her a warm welcome...after all we are family.

i will miss you all...

Chris

Thank you so much baby...for the intro, I promise i will continue to uphold the Fashion Jinx standard to the best of my ability. And to the FJ family, i hope you are pleased with what i share with you all...i love feedback and if you have any concerns or advice...I'm all ears...

Meshelle

How did I come up with the name of the blog? Well, It's a bit hard to explain since the blog name is in Hebrew... I call myself "FashionPea" on social networks like Twitter and Modepass because in Hebrew the words "Pea" and "Fashion" are very similar. they contain the same letters only in a different order and that is why I chose to combine them in my blog's name. It is a play on words. How would I describe my style? It depends on my mood and depends on "Who I want to be today?" Some days I feel more romantic and I will chose and other days I try to excentuate my edgier side and I'll go with vests, boots and chain necklaces. What made you start a fashion blog? I started my blog because I needed an outlet to release all the knowledge I had, and the passion for fashion that was pretty much bottled up inside me. I have to say that this need of mine was fulfilled a long time ago, after a few months of blogging, and now it's a different situation. The blog has really evolved and continues to develop in many exciting directions. What do you think you bring to fashion blogging? I think that, like every other blogger, I bring my personal point of view, and my take on fashion. Although I look pretty young, I'm 29 years old and I'm an experienced shopper and dresser for at least 20 years...
I have had my share of 'trial and error' in the fashion department (and still do) and I share my experience and views with my lovely readers. How is your style different than everyone else? Although
I shop in common stores like Zara, Mango, H&M I think that I (as anyone else) add a personal note and personal style to my clothes. The person makes the outfit, and even though I can wear a skirt that was bought by many other ladies I think the way I wear it and mix it with other elements of my wardrobe makes it unique. Who or what is your insiration? My inspiration can be found in many places and it is not just a person or a thing. I am inspired by celebrities and fashion icons (such as the Olsen twins), by fashion editors (like Taylor Tomasi and Giovanna Battaglia), by the urban nature around my, by colors or by my mood at the moment.
What impression would you like to leave on the people that view your blog? The impression I would like to leave on people is that dressing up is fun, that fashion can spice up your life and doesn't have to be practical all the time - it can also be whimsical and fun. I also want people to know that fashion is related to all fields of life and to my personal life as I show on the blog.

how did you come up with the name of your blog? Before I started my blog I had a Chictopia account where I posted my daily outfits, the name Cocorosa was my Chictopia name, My real name is Chantal and ever since junior high there would always be people who would call me Chanel after Coco Chanel so Cocorosa came a bit from that haha.... when where you introduced to fashion? Oh already at a very young age I would dress up in my mothers vintage dresses that she put in a big wooden box in the attic, and I was always drawing and sketching, with my nose in fairy tale books dreaming away at the illustrations, I went on to study graphic design and after that Fashion design.
how do you describe your style? I don't think I have a particular style, I really wear what I like and how I feel, I like to mix up different materials and to find a balance between soft and romantic and a edgy look. what made you start a fashion blog?


I started the blog after Chictopia, I wanted to show more of my inspiration, thoughts, my vision on fashion and photography what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world? I hope I bring some inspiration and ideas and I hope I can show that fashion can be fun and light hearted how is your style different than everyone else? haha, this is a hard question haha, I have no idea actually, I just do what I like and I actually get a lot of inspiration from everyone else who is your inspiration? I get my inspiration from a lot of girls on the blogs, but also magazine editorials what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog? Oh I really hope that people get inspiration and ideas and not only in fashion but in photography as well :)


love,
Chantal

I have a Jean fetish, i need help...a straight heterosexual man, with great taste (i must add) is in desperate need of of The Fashion Jinx family. So, i called on some of my most closest and dearest Jinx Relatives for some help... This is only part 1(one), I've called on many family members for help with my obsession....I asked then two questions ;what do you look for in a pair of jeans? and what should a pair of jeans do for you? And by their answerer's, i can tell they are just as addicted to jeans as i am. Enjoy, JINX....

To me it´s very important that a pair of jeans has a perfect and tight fit, a skinny leg and the right length. I like jeans that are either really ´clean´ or very destroyed. My go-to washes are dark grey and medium blue, so I always check those out first.

A perfect skinny jeans makes me feel confident and sexy, but all in a casual way.

x! Yara This Chick's Got Style

An obvious staple to closets everywhere, sometimes, trying to find the perfect pair of jeans can feel as untouchable as finding the Holy Grail… but when it comes to perusing the aisles, for me, it definitely boils down to a proper fit, comfort level, the fluidity of movement, and detailed lines/cut for my body type.

Let’s be honest, the best pair of jeans need to love me, which is code for… they should make my ass look good.

Bella Vintage Lollipops

First of all, my jeans need to be comfy. I wear jeans almost every day, so that's really important for me. Most of my jeans are regular fit, and I really like jeans with a mix of baggy and skinny. They look good and are comfy. I especially love the ripped jeans. I look for jeans that have a boyish look but still look feminine on me. I always look for something different on my jeans, because I want to have my own independent look.

A pair of jeans have to look feminine on me. When I wear a pair of jeans I really like it that my legs look longer. I have a curvy figure, so I don't want my jeans to make my hips look larger. After all jeans need to make you beautiful, so they have to express and improve your body parts.

love, Patty Patty-Style
