Lo: To start off your style is really rad. What influenced it?
HB: Thank
you! Really anything and everything influences my style. From other fashion
bloggers to characters in movies, to an Andy Warhol painting.
Lo: When and why did
you start your blog?
HB: I
started my blog a little over 3 years ago. I came across the site Chictopia and
fell in love with the whole fashion community. I then discovered that those who
posted their looks also had a platform for their looks(blogspot) and I decided
I wanted to do the same thing.
Lo: Do you have any
tips for newbie bloggers?
HB: Stay
true to your yourself/personal style and really have fun with blogging! The
amount of effort you put into your blog really determines the success you get
from it!
Lo: I heard that you
were a hip hop dancer. What's that like?
HB: Yes,
I am indeed a hip hop dancer! I adore dancing and my studio crew. Dancing is
another way of expressing myself besides clothing and I literally couldn't see
my life without it.
Lo: What's the one
piece in your closet that you can't live without?
HB: Hands
down, my black bowler hat. I have had that thing for forever! Whenever I need
an extra "oomph" to a certain outfit I just prop it on my head. Also,
I think I have styled so many looks with it that it has become more of a
signature piece of mine!
Lo: You probably get
this a lot, but your hair is fabulous. What do you do to get it this way?
HB: Why,
thank you! Really I just wash and comb it and pray it isn't humid that day!
Funny thing is I used to have straight hair until the 5th grade and then it
just magically turned wavy. I rarely straighten it anymore because I do have a
lot of hair,but when I hit the salon I always tell my girl Carmen to make it
pin straight!
Lo: You've been
featured in Teen Vogue quite a few times. How was that?
HB: Being
in their actual printed magazine was A DREAM. I felt so honored that they
wanted me in one of their articles. And being featured on their website time to
time is always rewarding! I love Teen Vogue and I owe them a lot of credit for
the opportunities that have came my way.
Lo: What's the best
thing you've done as a blogger so far?
HB: As far
as success wise? Being in Teen Vogue Magazine. Other than that meeting other
bloggers through my blog. I love meeting new people and building great
relationships.
Lo: Well Hope I
believe that is all. How can we keep up with you?
HB: Well,
I hope people keep on reading my blog because I plan on blogging for a long
time! You can follow me on twitter and instagram @hopebidi for more
SimplyHopeStyle and non blog related things!
I just
want to thank Hope again for the interview. What do you guys think of 'Out to
Tea?' Look for more to come.
Signed,
Lo
I absolutely love the idea of this! xx
