How did you come up with the name of your blog My blog title was inspired by a movie staring Angelina Jolie called Life or Something Like It. I wanted to start a blog about things pertaining to my life. My blog contains writing, pictures, lyrics, youtube videos, and quotes about life, relationships, music, education, photography, fashion, art, and traveling – basically anything and everything that interest me but most importantly, things I’m passionate about. When were you introduced to fashion I can’t exactly pinpoint when I was first introduced to fashion. As a little girl and even in my teen years, I loved shopping for clothes. But as I grew older, I realize that fashion is about style and not so much about clothes, trends, brand names, how good or bad I look, and what others think. I’ve always been interested in fashion but I haven’t always been fashionable. But my fashion sense and style continues to develop and evolve the older I get.
How do you describe your style Basic... Colorful... Romantic... Glam... Sophisticated... What made you start a fashion blog I wouldn’t say I have a fashion blog. It’s an aspect of my life that I love to blog about but my blog isn’t limited to just fashion. But I was inspired to start blogging about fashion by my good and dear friend, Lily bleedforfashion. She opened me up to the world of fashion blogs and it really inspired me to post my own outfit pictures. I started blogging about fashion in late July of this year. What do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I think I bring a sense of simplicity. I like to keep my outfits fairly simple and I like to create outfits with only a few basic items. You don’t need a lot in order to look good. I think the key is accessorizing your outfits with shoes, bags, scarves, gloves, earrings, bracelets, rings, and necklaces. The simplest touch can add a lot to any outfit even if you’re just wearing jeans and a t-shirt. How is your style different than everyone else I think everyone is different and therefore, everyone has different style. I try and buy unique pieces that suit my personal style and personality. I like keeping up with the trends but I don’t like looking like everyone else so it's important that I add my own twist and spin to each outfit to make it my own. Who is your inspiration
Sarah Jessica Parker in Sex and the City. I like her style because it’s very classy, fun, outrageous, trendy, feminine, and effortless. What impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog Dress to impress yourself and not others. I think it’s important to feel good and comfortable in what you wear. Have fun with fashion and try out new trends. You can’t be bothered by what others have to say otherwise your style becomes compromised and limited. Fashion should not be kept in a box of what you can and cannot wear. For me, what I wear reflects my personality, my style, and my creativity just as much as everything else I blog about, and I hope that others can see a little bit of who I am from reading my blog. Who is your favorite designer I don’t exactly wear designer clothing however I really like ready-to-wear runway collections by Lanvin, YSL, and D&G. What piece is a must have in your closet A scarf. I wear it everyday during the fall and winter season, and sometimes during the cold summer mornings.

I hope every one had a great Holiday...i had a lovely time with family and friends...joy, peace and love, until it was time to have my li' man put on his clothes. Heaving a hyper nine year old try on multiple outfits is slow torture... Moving, jumping sliding, flipping, all while Sponge Bob's theme song plays in the back ground... it's worse than pulling teeth...

how did you come up with the name of your blog we were arguing for hours after deciding to start blogging together because we couldn't agree on a name. eventually we chose xvii for some weird reason we still don't know... when where you introduced to fashion i don't think we have been yet. we are still uncertain what fashion is. but we like to believe that fashion is whatever you consider fashion to be. how do you describe your styles i guess it's a mix of preppy and trashy. we love random combination's of clothes that most people find ugly, and also clothes that still don't make sense after looking at them forever.

what made you start a fashion blog well, we wouldn't say it's a fashion blog. the reason we started to blog was because we love to take photos (and also to pose, lol) and we wanted a place where we could show our photos. another reason was because we had too much time and very few plans. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world hopefully more than other fashion blogs dohow is your style different than everyone else it's not. but it is not similar to everyone elses either. who is your inspiration ugly clothes on pretty people (not necessarily obvious prettiness but pretty as in having something extraordinary) what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog we want them to have the same feeling as when you first realize you have a crush, you know..? how is your favorite designer don't have one. designer clothes often become tedious because of the hype. we like second hand clothes better.

what piece is a must have in your closet
a pair of good tights. was that a bad answer? haha. but no, all of our clothes are must haves. one thing we would have a hard time living without is our docs. so i guess that's a must have in our closet.

I recently allowed my nine year old to play video games... and we have created a monster... i was taking pictures of him and he didn't even move... He's a Boy Scout, plays the trumpet, in the Math Club and a Honor Roll student... so i count my blessings....

how did you come up with the name of your blog I don't really remember how I came up with the name of my blog, but I do remember having a hard time with it, because I couldn't decide anything original and new! Some of the blogs I read, for example Fashiontoast and Leflassh, they all have really original names.. I couldn't do that, so I just ended up using something with my name.
how do you describe your style I love layering, waist-belts, super skinny jeans, and cropped jackets! I also like to mix cheap and expensive things. Think I could say that I have my own style, because even though all the items I wear are pretty simple, nobody else wears them the way I do.
I also like to think that my style is pretty nice, but at the same time I always like having a little tough/rough looking twist, for example piercings, or when I get older I'll get a few tattoos, but of course not too much. I like to be girly and a little tough at the same time too.
what made you start a fashion blog I wouldn't really call my blog a fashion blog, because I also write about myself and the daily things I do, or concerts I see.. but it all started when I started looking at other blogs, I really enjoyed it, so I decided I should start something too.
what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world Can we leave this question out, because I don't know how to answer it? :D
how is your style different than everyone else
I don't always follow the latest trends, I mostly buy/wear clothing that suits me, even if it's not exactly 'hot' right now. As I already mentioned before I like to combine cheap clothing with expensive.
who is your insperation I get inspiration from my mum, music, magazines, of course lookbook, and sometimes I just look at my closet and come up with something totally new without any inspiration or ideas haha.
what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog Of course I want to leave a good impression! I hope they like the way I dress, and I hope my blog will entertain people, so they would come back for more.

how did you come up with the name of your blog I think I spent a couple of days on the name. I wanted some cute but not too cute, which is I guess like me and my style. My friend told me to write down all the things that I liked and in different categories. I did that and Clouds of Tulle was born...

how do you describe your style I don’t think I have a particular “style”. I usually just put on whatever I think of first or whatever makes me feel good on that particular day. If I had to label it something I guess I would have to say urban chic.

what made you start a fashion blog My friend got me into reading fashion blogs and when she started one, she convinced me to have one myself. And I have to say, it’s quite fun.
what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I hope that I bring a sense of “grounded” style, where you can still look nice without breaking the bank. how is your style different than everyone else I think everyone has they’re own style, it’s just what they project. Two people could be wearing the same exact outfit and still look totally different, I think that’s what is amazing about clothing, it brings out the inner you who is your inspiration MK + A Olsen, Japanese street style, and my fellow fashion bloggers of course! what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog I hope that I leave them a refreshed feeling and inspired to experiment with clothing. And that not everything has to be an arm and a leg for it to look good.

Part II
what is the name of your line and how did you come up with the name. Luuk is founded by me and my boyfriend, Martin. At first we came up with the name Look, of course that was original, and at the same time we had a common belief that fashion was "all about U", U as in yourself, so we changed the 'O's in LOOK to 'U's. LUUK!
describe the vibe/style of your LUUK brand We always want to give off this fun vibe and surprise factor that is different from other brands. We try to do that through our photos, so we put in lots of efforts in finding shoot locations and sometimes props. We hope our photos can speak a thousand words for our clothes and designs.
how long has the label been available to the public Luuk has been available since June, so we are still relatively new and have alot more to learn about!
if so, how does your blog help or hurt the promotion of your line.I feel my blog and Luuk generally give off the same vibe and Luuk's designs basically speak alot about my personal style and vice versa. My blog can definitely help my customers and readers understand and appreciate Luuk better.

who is your target market We love girls who are not afraid to have fun and experiment with fashion! Although we are situated in Singapore, we welcome with loving arms, people from all over the world! and you don't have to be rich to shop at Luuk, you could get our awesome sequin jacket for as low as US$20:)).
are you the sole designer or do you have a team behind you
Currently we do not design our clothes, rather we source for them overseas. However, we are currently looking into designing our clothes for the near future, we are really looking forward to it!
what are some of the challenges of launching an independent line We definitely do not have the budget to compete with the big online retailers or put up advertisements. So we rely mostly on facebook, twitter, lookbook, my blog to gain exposure. and of course we could rely on our friends, who would help us spread the love for Luuk, and their friends of friends would buy from us and spread it to their other friends and friends. it's a long chain. so if you're reading this and you like Luuk, show us some love on Luuk's facebook here! BE OUR FAN♥
where do you see your line in 3-5 years We paint rainbows for Luuk's future, it's an amazing scene.We see our very own boutique store, not too big a place, nice and cosy with this great youthful vibe. We'll have all our wide range of clothes and shoes and stuff hanging from rainbows on the first floor, and there will be great music to accompany our stylish customers while they shop. We'll give out free candy floss at the door and have plenty of photos hanging from big trees, photos of us and of our great customers who will become part of our lives. They'll come hangout at our lounge/office at the second floor and try on our chic designer clothes and they'll buy. then we'll all sit by our big angelic white cushioned sofa and chat over a cup of freshly brewed coffee and then life goes on...

So shop at Luuk cos you do wish for this beautiful dream to come true, don't you?

what advice do you have for those with the passion to start their own line The journey is long and difficult and amazing all at the same time. Persevere for you will reap great rewards and experience.
who is your photographer. you have amazing picture on both your blog and your online store. Thank you! Luuk's photographer is mostly Martin, but for our first collection "wild child", we had our friend, Genevieve took my photos (she's awesome). Martin and I have great chemistry. We have lots of fun during photo shoots so the results can sometimes be better than we expected:)

how do you describe your style Right now it's slightly undone with smokey eye make-up and chunky accessories...but it's constantly changing. :)

what made you start a fashion blog Last summer I was bored and had been reading so many fashion blogs I thought I would start my own.

what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world My goal is not really to "bring" something to the fashion blog world...I just enjoy sharing outfits and inspiration with anyone who cares to check on my blog. :)

how is your style different than everyone else I usually follow my own instincts when it comes to putting together outfits and don't attempt to completely recreate another person's outfit/style.

who is your inspiration I pull inspiration from lots of different sources!

what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog I don't really have a particular "goal" in what my readers take away from my blog. Whether they love it or hate it, I appreciate everyone who stops by and comments and enjoys fashion as much as I do!

Thanks so much,

Melissa Sex & Coffee

Hello Family, my lovely husband has stumbled upon a great tool that i think we all will find useful.... There is a site that allows you to see the estimated value of your site and all the blogs we love to follows...check it out...

Part I how did you come up with the name of your blog Life is short, I have to record every detail of my life to know if I'm living life to the fullest. Live fast, die very oooold. So I named it after myself, Jacinda Yee. when where you introduced to fashion I can't really state when, but since young I loved shopping for clothes. I kept buying and buying, but i never could figure out where my style was heading. That's when I got really interested in fashion and started experimenting with different stuff in an attempt to pursue that unique style. how do you describe your style I can't really put a name on my style. but mostly i love edgy and sexy. Clothes that enhance a woman's curves eludes so much confidence, it's gives you this sexy superhero power, it's insane. but then again as I depend on my mood wayyy too much, i have developed a love-hate relationship with my fashion style. There would be some days where i'd be so enthusiastic about dressing up, even if i'm just going out to get a drink. And there would be some days, very seldom but it does happen, when I would dress down so much you wouldn't even recognize me. However, when people do recognize me, i'd feel so embarrassed and regret every minute of it, promising myself to never let laziness get the better out of me haha. i'm still working on it.
what made you start a fashion blog Mine's not really a fashion blog. I blog mostly about my daily life, fashion inspirations and everything else that I'm interested in. I love that my readers can discover and be inspired by my personality, style and fashion sense through my the photos I blog of my daily life. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I think I definitely brought peace to the fashion blog world. as well as the attention of the great fashion jinx and all you other fashion lovers.
how is your style different than everyone else To me, fashion and personality goes hand in hand, they're inseparable. The way you walk and talk and carry yourself definitely plays a part in developing your unique fashion style. I think i kinda possess this weird happy crazy quality (and sometimes i sexy talk) and i don't really care about the way i walk and talk. you know what i'm saying? girls who are too uptight with their looks and obsessed with looking great in every photo, should relax. your beauty and style will come naturally then. who is your inspiration Oh there are so many! First on my list would be Audrey Hepburn, her classic style never dies. and then it would have to be edie sedgwick!, alexa chung, arvidabystrom.blogspot.com and karla from karlascloset. Also, i get alot of my inspiration from lookbook, wildfox, cobra snake and tumblr blogs! oh and BETTIE PAGE for her awesome sixties sexiness.
what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog I want them to feel that fashion can be so enjoyable, especially when photos of daily life (even at the supermarket) doesn't turn out to be just you looking happy & smiley, but with you looking so terribly chic & enjoying in that moment, that's the best.I would like all my readers to do it too! It doesn't mean you have to overdress, you can look chic in t-shirts and shorts too:) who is your favorite designer I wouldn't say I have a particular favorite, but i definitely like Dolce and Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Matthew Williamson, of course Karl Lagerfield and Christophe Decarnin (wow wow). what piece is a must have in your closet A versatile basic top or bottom that goes with everything, as well as a statement jacket or blazer. yes, and statement shoes are a must.
