Successful blog is a unique voice; and depending on the blog, your own style factors in. To some extent, it might have to do with the graphic aesthetics of a blog. Pretty pictures go a long way these days and many personal style blogs owe a lot to a decent DSLR.
Susanna LauI was a bit of a dozy kid, so everyone just started calling me Susie Bubble and it stuck. Style Bubble is sort of like being stuck inside the style side of my brain. That doesn't sound very appealing, does it?
Susanna LauI don't like to think that people recognize who I am when I'm out and about, and anyone who comes up to me in real life can testify that I suddenly clam up and get very nervous. People asking me for my autograph in H&M was beyond surreal.
Susanna LauAn opinion that goes beyond "Cute outfit!" is appreciated. If a person regularly comments and they too have a blog, and we have gotten to know each other's respective styles through commenting on each other's blogs - of course I'm more likely to check out their recommendations.
Susanna LauI have no idea other than where my readers are located, roughly. They could be 12. They could be 50. I just haven't a clue. I'm hoping my readership is a little wider and broad than what the typical fashion blog gets. I have received emails from a 50-year-old lady in Tel Aviv who says I have revived her passion for fashion.
Susanna LauI still haven't quite gauged the effects of featuring designers on my blog and on Dazed. I can only rely on what people feed back to me ... the effects are positive though - designers picking up more buyers, entering into new collaborations, getting more orders.... it's all really, really encouraging.
