LadyLUX: Where do you get inspirations for DIY posts for Glitter 'N Glue?

Glitter 'N Glue: Inspiration can come from almost anywhere. I'm inspired obviously by things I see on the runways or things I see celebrities wearing on the red carpet, but I'm also inspired by vintage. In fashion all trends seem to reinvent themselves and reappear in our wardrobes so I love to look at photos of Old Hollywood and even things my Mom or Grandmother's wore back in the day and find inspiration.

LL: Whats your strategy with your blog in general?

GG: I always try and stay current with my blog. If it's Spring I want to present Spring trend DIY post that my readers will be into. During the Holiday's I like to give DIY ideas that will help them create that look for their Holiday party or for New Year's Eve. I want girls to be able to go to my blog and walk away with DIY idea for something they can make and wear out that week!

LL: What is your current style obsession?

GG: Bright colors! I'm so excited for Spring. It seems like I've just discovered color and my wardrobe, that use to just be all black, is quickly growing into a closet full of bright and colorful pieces. Along with colors I'm also embracing patterns. It's all about incorporating these trends into your wardrobe and finding what look looks best on your body type.

LL: What is your favorite part about creating content?

GG: Being creative! Since I develop new content for my site every week I love to see how far I can push myself creatively. I'm always striving to come up with a new project and even from the way I shoot or style projects I want them to be visually appealing to the eyes of my readers.

LL: What do you do when you aren’t working on your blog?

GG: I'm a wardrobe stylist. My life revolves around fashion! If I'm not blogging I'm photo shooting. If I'm not photo shooting, I'm blogging.

LL: Share something your readers might not know about you.

GG: I love hair! Long hair, short hair, curly hair, straight hair… I love hair! I consider my hair to be my ultimate accessory. If you've been a reader of my blog for while then you know I change my color of my hair and it's length quite often. I think if I wasn't blogging, I'd be a hairstylist.
