Coffee Date: Nichole of As a Matter of Style
I usually write introductions for the bloggers that I interview but I think that Nichole’s About the Author post provides a perfect introduction. Nichole explains that, “As a Matter of Style came about when I was living in London and was inspired by the creations in store windows, newspapers, and most of all, the people on the street. It is supposed to be in a “as a matter of fact” connotation, meaning anyone can have and wear style. It is about finding what works best for you. Within my column, I discuss trends and ways to wear them, designers and their inspiration, events and what I see, and merely, ways fashion can fit everyone. I think that everyday we are each trying to figure out our lives. Why we’re here – what we’re meant to do – and how we can leave our mark behind. Overall, I feel the two most important factors in living are love & happiness. Do what makes you smile, no matter who disagrees with you. Make mistakes and learn.”Without further ado here is my interview with Nichole.
1. How did you come up with the idea or focal point for your blog?
I originally got the idea for my blog back when I lived in London. I would walk the streets in Westminster, Notting Hill, and Chelsea and take a million mental notes on window displays, newspapers, and how people dressed on the street, both good and bad! I found myself critiquing people’s looks and wanting to express my thoughts to anyone who would want to hear me! “As a matter of style,” is meant to be taken in an “as a matter of fact,” connotation. I thought about those people who enjoy giving tid-bits of facts and information about any random subject and decided I wanted to be able to give people random tid-bits and facts on fashion and style – and voilà! As a Matter of Style was born!
