Q+A on a grey Summer's day

That title is a little bit depressing actually, apologies for that! I did consider taking some photos outside for a blog post today but it has been grey & rainy so that hasn't happened. Instead I thought it might be fun to do a little Q&A type post for you! This post could end up rather long so if you don't enjoy reading a lot then perhaps skip this one..

I found all these questions over on Zoe's blog & basically chose the ones I wanted to answer. There's questions about shopping, me & other random things. So let's get started!



♥ What is your name & do you have any nicknames? My name is Sophie. Nicknames..I often get called Soph & one of my friends calls me 'Hipster'. Apart from that I have none.

♥ Do you have any siblings? I have one brother who's 18.

♥ How old are you? I am 20 years young old.

♥ What's your height? I am 5 ft 7, is that very tall? I have no idea..

♥ Do you have any pets? I sure do. My family have a dog & two cats. Our cats are sisters & my brother & I have one each.

♥ What do you enjoy doing in your spare time? Reading, I permanently have a stack of books & magazines by my bed. I also enjoy taking photos & baking sweet treats for friends & family.

♥ Who inspires you? There are loads of people, I find Anna Wintour & all the work she's done for Vogue as both a magazine & a brand incredibly inspiring, Tim Walker & his creative talent + childlike wonder he explores in his work. Also some of my family & friends who have done/are doing extraordinary things inspire me.

♥ What do you consider your greatest achievement? Probably getting into my degree actually. The last year of high school was rather testing on a personal level & I didn't perform as well as I could've, so I was surprised my final exam marks were good enough for me to be accepted. Thankfully they were.

♥ What do you value most in life? Trustworthiness, honesty & compassion.

♥ What do you do? I blog (what a revelation..) & sometimes I review & write things for other people. I also am studying towards a degree in Communication Studies so I learn a lot about writing & media basically.


♥ What is your dream job? Editing a fashion magazine either as an Editor in Chief or Fashion/Beauty Editor or as Fashion News Editor. In an ideal world I'd be doing one of the above for Teen Vogue.

♥ What did you take for your A levels? I studied Photography, Business Studies & English Literature.

♥ Do you have any phobias? Yes! A few, Mice & Rats are probably my biggest fear. I also have a fear of broken escalators starting again whilst I'm walking on them.

♥ Where have you been on holiday & where was the best? I'm assuming this means overseas. I've been to Queensland, Sydney, Melbourne, Rome, Florence, London, Rarotonga, Paris & New York. This is hard!! I think I liked London the best. We weren't there very long but I loved the city & exploring many of its attractions & art museums among other things.

♥ Favourite childhood memory? There are many but one I've thought about recently is the fairy stories my Uncle used to tell one of my cousins & I. My uncle told us about the fairies in their garden & all the places they lived+their adventures. We even made them a fairy house & the next morning woke to sweets in glittery paper bags from the fairies.
