Otherwise known as Eve.
My baby girl Eve Seraphina, that is.
{ I apparently was in a state of fugue yesterday }
{ how else can I rationalise thinking today is Tuesday? }
{ completely missing the “supposed” launch date of this new column? }
A little while ago, I started thinking of what I could do to fall in love (all over again) with the world of blogging. There are only that many times one can rework the blog design. Or would want to, for that matter (those who have done it, know what a headache that undertaking can be). And besides, it’s not the way our platform looks which keeps us coming back. It’s the words within us wanting to be let out that’s the real pull factor.
So, to cut a long story short, I’ve been planning several additions to this blog. New columns, if you like, as I’ve been doing on Instagram, to spice things up.
I knew I wanted to kickstart this trajectory with a weekly column featuring my millennium baby and her thoughts . You know, the world according to Eve?
Let’s begin with a few questions I threw her way. Have a read.
1. Can you tell us a little about yourself and your blog?
I’m a freshman college student studying psychology. I’ve been a blogger since middle school, but I only became serious about it when I was about 16. My blog details all the weird adventures I’ve had in my life and I share them in the hopes of making people smile.
2. Describe how you first got into blogging?
I’m going to be honest, my mother made me. She thought it would be a cool way of expressing myself and that it would catch universities’ attention too. After some time, I started to really enjoy myself and continue to do it to this day.
3. How would you describe your blogging style?
I’d say my blogging style is simple, sarcastic, and honest. I’m very direct and sassy, so it makes sense that my blog reflects that about me.
4. What’s your proudest achievement?
My proudest achievement is graduating high school. High school was a hellhole and really tough. There were so many times that I was genuinely afraid of not making it through, but I did, and it was awesome.
5. Name some of your favourite bloggers and explain why they’re your favourites?
I’m going to be honest, I don’t have any favourite bloggers. As cliché as it sounds, I think they’re all cool in their own way. Having a blog is hard work and whoever is able to do it, and do it well, is awesome in my book.
6. Who was your first style icon?
My first style icon was, and still is, definitely Selena Gomez. I just absolutely adore her and her style.
7. What would you say is the biggest challenge about fashion blogging?
I think it’s hard to consistently come up with good ideas about what to write and what outfits to put together. It’s also difficult to keep being excited about what you’re doing, and look forward to the work.
8. How would you describe your personal style?
Hmmmm. I think my personal style is still not defined yet. One day, I’ll be extremely bohemian and then the next, it’ll be rock ‘n’ roll. But I guess I’d say my style is the mix of Aria from Pretty Little Liars and Zendaya (me too, boo!!).
9. What’s your greatest satisfaction in being a fashion blogger (invites to fashion events, meeting people, gifts, etc.)?
While I will admit that being invited and attending fashion events is freakin’ awesome, the greatest satisfaction for me is getting a bombass photo of myself. It always feels good to have a great picture of yourself. It’s kind of like my version of self love that I thoroughly encourage others to do 🙂
10. How do you manage time to run your blog efficiently and keep up with being a university freshman?
I honestly have no idea. Sometimes I’m on top of things, sometimes I’m not (mostly the latter). I always put my homework first and if I have time, I write a blog post.
Tell me about this outfit you’re wearing, boo.
Why did you pair these items together?
Eve said, “Since Spring is finally here, I wanted to wear something that would reflect the new weather. When I saw the dress, I realized that I hadn’t worn it in a really long time. So I decided to put it in and switch to my heart’s content. I also really wanted to wear those earrings because they’re so fun and pretty. Plus I hadn’t gotten the chance to wear them before. As for the shoes, I’ve never been too fond of sandals and flats. Therefore I went with my black booties, ‘cos why not?”
Truly, why ever not, bunny boo 🙂
And that’s it, friends, for this introductory post on a brand new column. The Millennium Baby.
Next week, Eve will be sharing her thoughts on Trump, high school cliques, and sex offenders. As well as another bombass outfit. You know, if you have any specific questions you’d like to ask her, to (attempt to) understand things from a teenager’s perspective, fire away. Leave a comment below.
See you Monday.
Next week, we’ll be posting up to three times a week, hurray!!
KISSES!!!
Love, Sheela

I love this new column you will be sharing because I adore Eve! And I don’t get over to her blog as frequently as I would like. I must rectify that!
