Blogger Interview: thetrendbible

Hello guys! In todays post I am interviewing the lovely Giulia! We have been following each other for nearly a year and I've loved seeing all her outfits of the days and inspiration. To find out more, read below!

Tell me a little about yourself?

My name is Giulia and I’m 17 years old, I’m turning 18 in May. Ever since a young age I have lived in and travelled to numerous countries, I just love exploring new places! I currently live in Switzerland but study in England. I’m bilingual, speaking both English and Italian fluently whilst learning French at school. I run the blog thetrendbible.tumblr.com and trendbible.blogspot.co.uk.

How did you start blogging?

I’ve always been surrounded by fashion, both my parent's love dressing up whether it’s for events or a family day out, so it rubbed off on me too! I would look at personal style blogs for outfit inspirations, and then I decided to create a polyvore account (giuliabardelli.polyvore.com) so that I could plan outfits with clothes, I’m sure any girl would dream to have! I started by making my own style blog on Tumblr in December of 2012. The community is so friendly and has grown significantly since then!

What would you say your blog is about?

My Tumblr style blog is place where my followers can ask me any questions related to fashion and where I post all of my polyvore sets. I tend to also reblog photos or quotes that inspire me. It’s more of a canvas of what goes on inside of my head, as opposed to my blogspot where I stick to the key theme of fashion and my travels.

How would describe your personal style?

I’d say my style is quite versatile, I love changing things up for different occasions. One day you’ll see me wearing a dress, the next I’ll be lounging around in sweatpants, true story! I say comfort is the key element when putting together an outfit and also statement jewellery! I love adding a bit of edge to my outfits with a leather jacket and some rings.

Where do you get your inspiration?

Magazines! Since I travel a lot, it’s crucial for me to have something to read when waiting for my flight. Polyvore and Pinterest are also a great online source for outfit inspiration. When I go out I will also be looking at the street style (one of the reasons why I love Fashion Week) for inspiration! There are so many ways to get inspired that are right in front of us.

Who are your favourite bloggers?

I’ve been following Jess of Tuulavintage since 2011 and she’s definitely been one of my biggest inspirations, I’ll check her blog at least once a week and I always find myself scrolling through her Instagram. I also love Danielle Bernstein of WeWoreWhat as she always amazes me with the outfit she puts together. Rumi Neely of Fashion Toast and Margaret Zhang of Shine By Three are also some of my favourites. 

Name one item in your closet you can’t live without and why?

My trusty pair of black Topshop Joni jeans! I love how you’re able to find a fit according to your height and waist size. Also, who doesn’t love a good pair of comfortable black jeans? As for shoes, I’m currently obsessing over my leopard pony hair Kurt Geiger slip-ons! Slip-ons in general add a more skater vibe to an outfit and I’m loving that right now.

What is currently on your wishlist?

That’s a difficult question! I’m in desperate need of a graduation dress so I’d say that! Or a black or camel coloured longline coat - I can’t get enough of them!

What trends do you think should never become popular? 

It’s difficult, because I think there’s a time and place for every trend. However, now that I’ve said that, I don’t think a lace corset top would fit any situation apart from a Halloween party.
