Interview with: Bess of Belles in Bows

Meet Bess Pearson, the absolutely charming blogger behind Belles in Bows.

Bess at her graduation with her lovely mother!

Bess answered a few interview questions about her life, style, and inspiration.

1.  What is you favorite thing in your closet?

Bess-  Probably my prom dress which I purchased from J. Crew.  It's not that I wear these a lot (I only wore them once each) but I have so many amazing memories from that night and just looking at it makes me happy.

2.  What three words define your style?

Bess-  Classic, nautical, and easy.

3.  Who is your style icon?

Bess-  Sarah of Classy Girls Wear Pearls meet Rosie of The Londoner.

4.  What are some of your favorite stores?

Bess-  Brooks Brothers, Vineyard Vines, Lilly Pulitzer, J. Crew, Ralph Lauren, J.McLaughlin, and Kate Spade.

5.  Do you have a go-to, never fail outfit?

Bess-  Summer:  Oversized Ralph Lauren OCBD, a pair of colored chino shorts, and my platinum Jacks.  Winter:  Black Minnie pants, patterned blouse and blazer, and my Ralph Lauren riding boots.

6.  Where would you like to travel?

Bess-  I am dying to go to Capri or Lake Como... so Italy in general I suppose...

7.  Any last things to say?

Bess-  Thanks so much for having me!

It was my pleasure, Bess!

Interview with: Frannie of The Blonde Prep

Meet Frannie, she's the wonderful blogger on The Blonde Prep!

Frannie was so lovely to answer a few interview questions about her style!

1.  What is your favorite thing in your closet?

Frannie-  Probably my Jack Rogers because I can wear them with absolutely anything, especially during the summer when I rarely go without them.

2.  What three words do you think define your style?

Frannie-  This is hard because I'm still figuring out my style and sometimes I have trouble trying to define it, but I think it boils down to being classic, changing, and chill.

3.  Who is your style icon?

Frannie-  I don't have one person who's style I truly admire singlehandedly, so I usually compile my inspiration thorough Pinterest.

4.  What are some of your favorite stores?

Frannie-  J.Crew is my go-to store and makes up a majority of my closet, but I also frequently shop Ralph Lauren, Lilly Pulitzer, GAP, and ASOS.  

5.  Do you have a go-to, never fail outfit?  

Frannie-  YES, I'm one of those people who finds an outfit they love and doesn't take it off for weeks at a time.  An example would be jeans, an oversized sweater, and riding boots for the fall, or a casual dress or a popover paired with chinos and sandals during the summer.

6.  Where would you like to travel?

Frannie-  My grandparents took my cousins and I on a tour of Europe when we were teenagers, so I'm looking forward to traveling many European countries next summer with my cousins, especially France and Italy.

7.  Any last thing to say?

Frannie-  Thank you for interviewing me!  I loved answering these questions.  :)  XO

Thanks so much, Frannie!  

Interview with: Caroline of Citrus and Style

Meet Caroline!  She's the lovely blogger behind Citrus & Style!  

Preppy perfection in Lilly Pulitzer!

Isn't she darling?

Caroline was so kind to answer a few questions about her style, blog, and lifestyle.  Enjoy!

1.  What is your favorite thing in your closet?

Caroline-  This is a tough one!  I would say either my denim shirt or any of my gingham button downs because they are so versatile and can be worn year round. 

2.  What 3 words define your style?

Caroline-  Classic, preppy, and fresh.  I try to keep my style clean and simple with preppy flares.

3.   Who is your style icon?

Caroline-  Oh gosh, I have too many to name!  Blogger wise I would say Mackenzie Horan and Julia Dzafic are both people I admire because they have such fun senses of style.

4.  What are some of your favorite stores?

Caroline-  J.Crew, Gap, Madewell, and Club Monaco are a few of my favorites.

5.  Do you have a go-to, never fail outfit?

Caroline-  It really depends on the weather, but in the summertime I bring out my trusty denim shirt, striped shorts, and Jack Rogers for my go-to look.

6.  Where would you like to travel?

Caroline-  I've really gotten into traveling to new places this year after having visited the same places over and over my whole life.  I'd love to explore the Easy Coast as I've never been!

7.  Any last thing to say?

Caroline-  Thanks so much for having me!  xo
