vogue girl korea

since i haven't received my issue of Vogue Girl Korea yet, Rumi kindly offered to scan my section in their World Fashion Blogger story.

here's a translation:
1 Briefly introduce yourself. What's your name? Birthday? Location? Job?
My name is Camille. I am fifteen years old and live in the Oregon. I am still a student, although I am home schooled rather than attending a traditional high school.

2 When did you first blogging and why?
I first started blogging in March 2008. Before then I had already been posting my daily outfits to sites like The Fashion Spot and wardrobe_remix and thought it might be fun to start a blog.

3 What is your signature style?
I don't think I really have a 'signature style', but simplicity is always a constant in my outfits.

4 When and how did you come about establishing your own style and look?
When I was about fourteen I first became interested in fashion and starting reading fashion magazines, following runway collections and reading style blogs. From those resources I started to get an idea of what styles and types of clothing I liked and would personally wear and started to build my own look from that.

5 What is your fashion/styling rule?
Be fearless when it comes to fashion. Don't take it too seriously, just have fun!

6 Explain how you get dressed in the morning, step by step.
Usually, the night before I will think of a certain item I know I want to wear the next day. Then the next morning as I'm getting dressed I construct an outfit based on that one piece.

7 What is your key fashion item?
Currently I can't live without my black pencil skirt. It's to versatile and can be dressed up or down, I love it.

8 And what's your favorite way of styling the item?
I love to just wear it casually with a loose-fitting tee and then either dress it up with high heels or dress it down with some tough boots.

9 Explain how you mix and max color palette.
The majority of my wardrobe is black, grey or white. I like to stick to monochrome outfits, but lately I've been learning to embrace color a bit more. If I am wearing colors though, I try to keep it from being too busy by wearing only one colorful piece with other neutral pieces.

10 Who's your fashion icon and why?
Some of my style icons include Charlotte Gainsbourg, Mary-Kate & Ashley Olsen, Erin Wasson and Emmanuelle Alt. I love their styles because all of them have a very effortless, cool way of dressing.

11 Where do you shop? What are some of your favorite shops and why?
I shop at places like Target, Nordstroms, Forever 21, Gap, American Apparel, Anthropologie and thrift shops, basically anywhere that is affordable for me.

12 What are some things you keep in mind when you shop? Do you have any shopping rules?
When I am shopping I am pretty strict with myself, letting myself buy only things I really love and know I will wear.

13 What's your most recent purchase? Can you give any tips on how to wear it?
My latest purchase is a gorgeous pair of Marni heels. They command a lot of attention so I like to wear them with simple, basic items.

14 What's your favorite show from 2008 S/S collection? Has this show affected the way you dress in any way?
I have a long list of favorites from the s/s 08 shows, but the show that I could most relate to in terms of how I dress was Alexander Wang's. His S/S 08 collection was so chic yet so simple and effortless. Many of the pieces I would buy and wear myself.

15 If you can buy one item for the summer, what would it be?
I've really been craving a light wash, 'boyfriend' style pair of jeans for this summer.
