An Interview with Veronika of Girl & Closet

Hello! I’m Veronika and I run a personal style fashion blog called “Girl & Closet.” I was absolutely thrilled when the delightful folks at Smashion asked me to be a part of this fabulous interview series. Hope you guys enjoy the interview and be sure to pop on over to my blog and say hi. I’d love to meet you!! xx Veronika

This interview was published on Friday, August 12, 2011.

How would you describe your personal style?

Veronika: My style seems to change a fair bit. I definitely like to dress based on my mood and I’m always experimenting with different styles. However, as of late I would describe my style as being a little bit vintage, whimsical, sometimes preppy, and always feminine.

Where are you from and what are your top three favorite places to shop in your city?

Veronika: I’m from Europe, but I live in Vancouver, Canada. I adore shopping at H&M, Aritzia, and Front & Company. I’m also a huge fan of online shopping. I’m always scouring my fave online stores for delightful bits to add to my wardrobe.

Three things in your closet you cannot live without:

Veronika: I would have to go with my newly purchased Modcloth party dress. I’m equally enamored with my sheer blush pink cardy that I found at a thrift store -it has the cutest satin elbow pads on it. I’m in love! And last but not least, my woven straw fedora from H&M ...it’s so adorable!!

3 fun facts about you:

Veronika: I love gourmet cooking, I clean when I’m stressed out, and I obsessively shop for anything home decor related.

How are you able to stay fashionable without spending a lot of $$? What are your tips and where do you shop?

Veronika: It’s important to have a well sorted closet, and work with what you have. I’m a huge fan of remixing and believe that a hat, scarf, or unique belt can change the look of a dress. And nothing beats going to a thrift store. I consistently manage to find gorgeous things, and the prices are amazing!

In your opinion, every woman should own:

Veronika: A gorgeous pair of shoes, a dress that makes you feel amazing, and a designer trench coat. I swear by mine!!

A woman's most beautiful feature is her:

Veronika: Hands down: self confidence!

One trend you would like to never see again is:

Veronika: I can’t really say that one comes to mind. I think that anything & everything looks great if you love it and know how to wear it. Great styling makes anything work.

What’s your guilty pleasure?

Veronika: Weekend bubble baths & champagne, french cheese, and watching Sex & The City re-runs in bed!

Your most worn shoes:

Veronika: My black H&M cork heel wedges.

Your most worn piece of jewelry:

Veronika: Engagement/wedding ring.

On the first day of hot weather, you'll find me:

Veronika: Soaking up the sun on my patio while reading a great book.

Three things that are always in my fridge:

Veronika: Strawberry Yogurt, Veggie Burgers, and Spinach Salad. I love healthy & yummy food.
