What do you do when you're not blogging? What is your job?

Kimberly: I'm a full-time college student (hellooo, freshman year!), and drink caffeinated beverages like it's my job (it's unfortunate I don't get paid for it). On the side I work as a dancer for a DJ company. Writing and dancing have always been my passion.

How did you come up with your blog name?

Kimberly: I'm a Francophile - everything in the culture is just beautiful. And it so happens to be that everyone I know thinks I'm a bit (this is where my friend laughs) of a flirt. Tease. Etc. Thus ABC seems appropriate - it's a pretty euphemism for the aforementioned & fits my fashion & lifestyle approach.

What is your nerdiest hobby?

Kimberly: Spending all day at museums and art galleries (all the while wishing I could spend the night), scribbling notes, reading philosophical books (Sarte, Voltaire, Thoreau!), watching marathons of CSI, and spending summer days at the library. I am not ashamed!

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

Kimberly: The oh-so-glamorous suburbia of New Jersey. And since we Jersey girls love our malls, my favorite stores at the moment are: Windsor, H&M, and New York & Company. Affordability on a college budget is a must!

What label(s)/store(s) do you favor?

Kimberly: Michael Kors (!!). He does classic American ready-to-wear like no other; I constantly lust over and look to his runway collections for inspiration. And those bags. And shoes. And rose gold watch! Le sigh.

Flats or stilettos?

Kimberly: Neither. I'm most definitely a heels girl, but stilettos aren't sturdy enough! I need something I can walk all day and dance all night.

What do you think is the hardest part about blogging?

Kimberly: Keeping a consistent posting schedule is perhaps the most difficult part of blogging. I'm balancing school and work, and I do face my fair share of writer's block. I hate posting for the sake of posting, so sometimes there'll be a week or so without a post which kills me.

What is the most rewarding part?

Kimberly: At times the blogosphere seems competitive, but I'm more than grateful for each & every reader. I can't help but smile when I get tweets, e-mails, & comments about individual posts or my writing in general. Blogging's helped me explore & refine my writing style & voice. I'm all about improvement!

What 5 items do you always have in your purse?

Kimberly: Black ballpoint pens (emphasis on the plural!), Post-It Notes, mobile, SoftLips lip balm, and Buxom lip gloss in Sandy. Always.

How would you describe your personal style?

Kimberly: Simple. Classic. Feminine. A little bit sexy - just a bit. (;
