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 style 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 just 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.

Congrates to Maycie and Ben...
they just tied the knot....
Maycie After Five
how did you come up with the name of your blog My blog originally started as a side project for my online vintage store, so it was only natural to name it the same as my shop. I decided to call it Wrinkle In Time Vintage because I've always viewed vintage fashion as something that transports you to another era and so I wanted my name to reflect this! when where you introduced to fashion I can't really remember the exact point that I became interested in fashion, but I do remember buying my first copy of Vogue magazine and falling in love with how the editorials looked. I can remember thinking that styling would be something I would be good at. how do you describe your style I think my style is classic and very lady-like, but at the same time my cardigan collection looks like something that came straight out of my eccentric grandma's closet. So I guess I'm a lady of class with a hint of grannie. what made you start a fashion blog I decided to start a fashion blog because I thought it would be a good outlet for my own personal style as well as allowing me access to the world of fashion. what do you think you bring to the fashion blog world I think I bring a sense of normality, when I write I try and make sure I'm writing exactly what I think and not what I think people would like to see. Also I don't have a million dollar wardrobe, I think I'm an example that you can look great on a budget! how is your style different than everyone else I wouldn't necessarily say my style is different in a huge way, but it's definitely my own style, I always try and add a quirky little touch to outfits. who is your inspiration I don't really know where my inspiration comes from. Usually how I'm feeling on the day, sometimes I feel like a lady and sometimes I feel like a grumpy tomboy, so I dress accordingly! what impression do you want to leave on the people that visits your blog I want them to leave with the impression of knowing me, I really love talking and getting to know people so I would love to think that people get a little bit of a peek inside my head from reading my blog. who is your favorite designer As clichéd as it sounds, Alexander McQueen has always and will always be my favourite designer. He truly was an artist and his clothes always have some meaning to them. what piece is a must have in your closet My maxi skirts! Lately I've been going through a maxi obsession, they're perfect for layering in winter and they make you look like you're floating when you walk!

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 care 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 shoes too though not as much.
who is your inspiration I should say it's my eldest sister. She is a very talented and super creative fashion designer, make up artist and she used to be a shoes collector (it did influence me a lot). Not to mention that she is independent and successful now. what impression do you want to leave on the 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

I’ve always admired fashion and found myself browsing through a ton of fashion websites. It wasn’t until my first year in university where I was extremely absorbed into the fashion world and found myself staying up late into the night just to browse through various fashion blogs.

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.
