This interview features Yuka, a pretty girl from California, she kindly answered some questions about style, blogging and other stuff.
Tell us few words about yourself and about your style.
I’ve always thought of fashion as a way of creating your own identity. I try to not follow trends, rather keep my personal aesthetics season after season and modernizing it. I’m inspired by a wide range of things so my style is constantly changing and evolving.

What inspired you to blog your personal style?
I started my blog as a diary of my outfits. I wanted to document things that inspired me at that moment, sort of like a scrapbook. Even till this day I sometimes look back at old posts and find things I forgot about and get re-inspired.
What fashion trends interest you most?
I like things that are minimal but make a strong impact. Pieces with strong lines and silhouettes. I also really like the idea of mixing vintage and designer. It gives your look something special and memorable.

Who is your style icon?
I love finding inspiration in street style blogs. I don’t have a specific person who is my style icon, but my style icons are everyday people I see who exude confidence in what they wear.

Who is your favorite designer and why?
Some of my favorite designers are Rei Kawakubo (Comme Des Garcons), Junya Watanabe, Lemi Feu, Ann Demeulemeester, and Miuccia Prada. I love that Japanese designers put so much scientific thought into their collection. They make things that are so unpredictable. Ann Demeulemeester designs things that are effortlessly cool. Miuccia Prada has such a fun take on colors, prints and textures in her collections. I’m always blown away by her concepts every season.

Designer clothes are very expensive, how can we find an alternative?
I find a lot of my vintage designer items on ebay! It’s usually at a fraction of retail price. I also find a lot of good things at flea markets. Vintage clothes were made so well, you can usually find very expensive and designer looking items at flea markets without having to spend a fortune. Also DIYs are a great way to incorporate designer looks into your wardrobe.
