Blogger Spotlight: Interview with Breanne from Flattery

This week we are excited to have Breanne Sewards in our Blogger Spotlight. Below is the interview we had with her. Visit her blog to know more about her and her style at flattery.ca.

( flatter.ca }
Hi Breanne, Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?
Hi! I’m 21 years old and I’ve been blogging for over three years. I’m obsessed with fashion, cats and coca cola.

Which part of Canada do you live in and what do you like the most about your city?
I live in Winnipeg, which is central Canada. The best thing about Winnipeg is being able to have snow on Christmas and very hot summers with lots of lakes to swim in!

What does a typical day look like for you?
Right now I’m job hunting, so I spend my days doing that while also working on my etsy shop and blog. This includes sewing, shipping packages at the postal office, taking outfit photos and doing product reviews! And of course, I always take time out to play with my cat Eevee,

What is the first thing you look for in a clothing item before you buy it?
It has to reflect the trends that I’m currently interested in. Then, it has to be something I could see myself wearing in a few different ways. Fit and price are also very important before deciding to buy.

{ Cute for Commute Mori Tote }
Which year do you think had the most interesting fashion trends? And Why?
2011. Maybe not interesting in a good way though… I remember once on lookbook , the entire front page was girls wearing long maxi pleated skirts! I think this year just had a lot of hugely popular trends that took over. Another example was the Jeffrey Campbell Litas.

What's your impression of Asian iCandy?
Very cute, girly product and I like how it mixes traditional fashions into the selection. The layout of the website is very clean and easy to navigate, so that’s a plus too!

Which one is your favorite item received from AiC and how did you style it?
I loved the Academic satchel bag. I styled it with my AiC red jacket, embossed sweater and leopard skirt. The bag had a vintage feel to it and was perfect for autumn because of the colours (brown,red and blue).

{ click here to see more about this outfit }
Last, let’s talk about music, what is on your playlist currently? Any favorite songs?
All I’ve been listening to lately is Fleet Foxes. They are my favourite folk band now. Some of their songs are extremely upbeat while others are soothing and calm. I love the instruments in their songs and the lyrics. My favourite song by them is Helplessness Blues.

Thank you so much Breanne! We love below outfit Breanne picked out from our store. Click here to find out all her favorites from Asian iCandy

Blogger Spotlight: Ilene from Much Love, illy!



1- Hi illy. Welcome to our blogger spotlight this week. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? and your fashion style?

Hello! Thank you for having me! My name is Ilene (aka illy) of Much Love, illy, a fashion and lifestyle blog. I am 28 years old, currently working from home full time as a blogger and a handmade online business owner. I am addicted to coffee, love random dancing (living room, street, kitchen, etc.) and a believer in cupcakes being better than actual cake. I also eat too much candy, laugh way too much and sleep way too little.

My fashion style is pretty eclectic. One day you might see me walking around in all colors of the rainbow, while the next day I’ll be rocking a more bohemian look with more neutral colors. It really all depends on my mood! That is why I am a firm believer that fashion is more than what you put on in the morning - it truly is an expression of yourself! 



2- Where do you get most of your clothes and accessories?

I am a huge fan of online shops (like Asian iCandy!)  where there is a variety of designers and styles. I also feel like I won’t run into someone on the street with the exact same outfit as me! However, I’m not afraid of retail stores like Forever 21 or Belk. Since I love re-mixing pieces, I love taking a “normal” look and putting a little twist to it - whether adding a pops of color or using contrasting pieces.



3- What are the trends that you are loving this season?

Oooooh, fun! I am obsessed with all things leather right now. I have my eye on some liquid leggings that I saw online, and I recently got my hands on a black motorcycle jacket. I cannot wait for the temperatures to drop so that I can rock that jacket with something girly or floral! I also am excited about continuing the trend of floppy hats, ankle boots, and wearing lots of gold and black!

4. What do you like about this embroidery purse and what/when would you wear this for?

I adore the detail in this purse and can easily see me using this for a weekend getaway! It’s so roomy - and if you know me at all, I need lots of room when I’m traveling! I actually am planning on using it this weekend when I go visit my fiance and his family. Woohoo!
(read Ilene's post here)

5. How about this embroidery dress? What are the details that you like the most about it and what/when would you wear this for?

Am I allowed to mention details again?! I think that is my favorite part of Asian iCandy products! Everything is created with so much detail - and oh, can we talk about color! I am obsessed with the colors of this dress. The teal and the pops of pink against the black is phenomenal! And we can’t forget the amazing cut of the collar - it is divine! What I especially love about the embroidery dress is that is so seasonal. This winter, I plan to continue to rock it with a pair of tights and boots and a leather jacket. Then come summer, this dress and a pair of strappy sandals is perfect for a date night! (read Ilene's post here)





{ Embroidered Curved Dress }

6. Any other favorite boho style items you'd choose from our store on your list?

Another fun question! I have my eye on the embroidery summer dress and especially the contrast floral long sleeve dress. So many gorgeous pieces to choose from!

7- Last but not least, since we are in the midst of autumn, what do you like the most/favorite thing to do for this season?

I love food, so all of the autumn flavored foods and drinks that come during this time of the year makes me super giddy! From hot apple cider to pumpkin, they all make me one happy girl!
