Getting to know you, Getting to know all about you. Getting to like you, Getting to hope you like me. Getting to know you, Putting it my way, But nicely, You are precisely, My cup of tea.....okay, enough singing show tunes.

Name:
State where you live:
Where do you like to shop most?
Why did you start blogging?
What's your favorite feature on LLP?
What's your favorite drug store make-up find?
What's your favorite splurge for make-up?
How would you describe your style?
Are you married? Single? Have a bf/gf?
Are you a member of a sorority, which one?
If you had to wear one outfit forever, and it would magically be appropriate for every event, what would it be?

I'll even go first:


Name: Kristen
State where you live: California, originally from Utah so I like to represent both
Where do you like to shop most? Nordstrom, Target, and Forever 21
Why did you start blogging? I love reading other blogs, fashion, make-up etc. I have a lot to say and needed an outlet that was easier than journaling. Plus, I'm pretty sure people were sick of hearing my unsolicited advice about how to better improve their style/look/life. LOL.
What's your favorite feature on LLP? Well, since I write all of the posts, I like them all! It's a lot of fun coming up with new posts and can sometimes be challenging writing style posts for a celebrity whose style I don't necessarily relate to. I LOVE doing reviews and finding great buys that I love and sharing it with others. I also love hearing everyone's feedback and reviews of some of products or how a product I like was different for them.
What's your favorite drug store make-up find? The one thing I HAVE to have is my Maybelline Colossal Volum' Express Mascara, it's the best!
What's your favorite splurge for make-up? I would have to say anything MAC, but I especially love their eyeshadows. Other brands I like too, but the MAC ones last so much longer on me.
How would you describe your style? Hmmm....I would say my style is a combination of the basics (solids, neutral colors, never go out of style items) and trends. I like to wear my everyday items with trendy pieces in the hopes that I don't have too many OOTD where I have to ask myself "What the H was I thinking?". I would also say that my style is a bit daring, I like bold items that can only be worn a few times because they're memorable and my friends often tell me that some of my outfits are "only you could pull that off Kris"
Are you married? Single? Have a bf/gf? I'm still in the single household, but will soon enter the married one on May 7, 2010 and the Fiance and I have been together for 2.5 years.
Are you a member of a sorority, which one? I'm a member of Chi Omega and it was the best experience, I would do college over again in a heartbeat!
If you had to wear one outfit forever, and it would magically be appropriate for every event, what would it be? Jean shorts, a white tank, and my Rainbow flip flops So comfortable and easy to wear.

Now pretty little ladies (and guys out there), please tell me a bit about yourself, I'm dying to hear! Even if you don't answer every question, just the one that suits you.

Frances @ It's Sew My Style said...

Name: Frances

State where you live: Illinois, but I was born and raised in Miami, FL

Where do you like to shop most? Hmm Forever 21, H&M, Express

Why did you start blogging? I was sewing a lot at the time and I wanted to be able to share with my family and friends back home. Plus, I wanted to talk to people and make some sort of mark (as small as it may be) in fashion.

What's your favorite feature on LLP? I love your reviews and your how-to’s. Actually, I pretty much love all your posts.

What's your favorite drug store make-up find? I pretty much get whatever is on sale, which tends to be Cover Girl more often than not.

What's your favorite splurge for make-up? Whoever wants to give me a free bag of goodies 

How would you describe your style? conservative, feminine, trendy, classic, fun

Are you married? Single? Have a bf/gf? I have a bf of almost 3 years

Are you a member of a sorority, which one? Nope. I was a go to class and then home kind of girl.

If you had to wear one outfit forever, and it would magically be appropriate for every event, what would it be? If my legs were magically shaved every day also in this scenario, I’d probably wear a dress every day.

Why did you start blogging? I loved the idea of a digital journal complete with pictures and that you can use your blog as a way of expression. I've been blogging for almost three years now and I love it. And I love seeing others and their amazing writing, and hearing about deals, etc.
What's your favorite feature on LLP? I love product reviews. Especially MAC because that is almost the only type of makeup I wear. I also love tips on deals for clothing, makeup, etc.
What's your favorite drug store make-up find? Although I use a lot of MAC I have to have cover up for under eyes, blemishes etc in mass quantities so I go with Covergirl cover stick. Cheap and effective ;)
What's your favorite splurge for make-up? I am obsessed with Dior Dior show blackout mascara. It has a fat brush and seems to make my eyelashes look much fuller. Awesome splurge for me.
How would you describe your style? My style... that's tough. I feel like I have the same answer as you because I try really hard to buy classic pieces that will never go out of style- but then I incorporate them with trends at the time.
Are you married? Single? Have a bf/gf? Married 3 1/2 years.
Are you a member of a sorority, which one? Nope. Graduated from college in 2008 and had a lot of fun but no sorority.
If you had to wear one outfit forever, and it would magically be appropriate for every event, what would it be? High waisted full skirt and tee shirt all the way. This is basically my summer uniform and I love skirts and feeling girly while pairing it with comfy things.
