P&C Questionnaire: Sterling Style

Taylor Sterling always likes to tell me that it was a post on Poetic & Chic that inspired her to start her Sterling Style blog. This is indeed one of the most flattering notions in all of blogging history. The idea that my little commentary on a 30 second Miss Dior Cherie commercial would lead to the Sterling Style-Glitter Guide empire is absolutely incredible to me!

So, it is only fitting that I finally get Taylor in the P&C Questionnaire hot-seat! Without further ado, I give you Ms. Taylor "Sterling"...

 

What is your occupation and how did you arrive at it?

I'm a full-time blogger running my own fashion blog Sterling Style (www.sterlingstyle.net) and I'm about to launch a new lifestyle website Glitter Guide (www.theglitterguide.com). I've been in love with fashion and lifestyle magazines since I was young. I was a fashion intern at Women's Wear Daily in Los Angeles in college. After college I tried other careers but I always felt a pull towards working in this industry and I'm happy to now be working on my own business. It's very rewarding.

Name three things that inspired you this week.

1. Watching my boyfriend gear up for his CrossFit regional competition. I've never met anyone with as much drive and dedication. He inspires me everyday.

2. The movie "Midnight in Paris" by Woody Allen. It was so charming and really portrayed the beauty of Paris.

3. The Glitter Guide Tumblr (www.theglitterguide.tumblr.com). Are fans submit pictures of how they sparkle and they are always so in inspiring.

What is your personal style "uniform"?

A cargo jacket, striped top, dark skinny jeans, and flats. I wear this all the time.

Name one type of clothing, shoes, or accessory that always makes you stop and stare, and explain why.

A vintage rhinestone necklace. I'm obsessed. Every time I see one I want to buy it.

Do you buy vintage? If so, what piece in your collection is your favorite?

Yes! Currently, it's my vintage brown envelope clutch. I got it on Etsy and it complements my modern pieces perfectly.

Do you ever feel like you were born in the wrong time? If so, what era would you like to have lived in and why?

Not really. However, I'm fond of 60s fashion.

What current trend do you like the most?

 

I love the bold color trend. I always wear color but right now I'm really playing with it and it's so fun.

What current trend (in your opinion) cannot disappear fast enough?

I'm not fond of those trendy Jeffrey Campbell "Lita" shoes. They're just not my style.

What film could you watch over and over and still find something inspiring? Why?

"Amelie" was one of those movies that had me transfixed and mesmerized. I still feel that way every time I watch it. It's so beautiful and creative and a sweet love story.

If blogging didn't exist, how would you fill your extra time?

I'd probably still be clipping out magazines and pasting them in inspiration folders. I've been doing that since I was 17.
