Interview with Fashion Blogger Zoe Elizabeth Palmer

Tell us a little about yourself. I grew up in Tramore and lived there until I was 19. I was always to eager to move to a big city so Dublin seemed like the most obvious answer. I spent 2 years living in Madrid completing my double degree in global business and spanish, which was definitely the best experience of my life (so far). At the moment i'm back living in Dublin, working for Louis Vuitton and blogging at any opportunity I get, i'm absolutely loving it. What inspired you to start a blog?

There's so many reasons I started blogging. The main reason I would say is because I really wanted something of my own. I wanted something that I had total control over where I could do whatever I wanted. That's what I love about blogging, there's no rules, anything and everything goes. Who would you consider to be your biggest influence in fashion industry?

There's so many people that influence my style, Mary-Kate Olsen, Olivia Palermo, Sofia Richie, various people on instagram, my mum.

Describe your style in 3 words.

Oh god that's such a hard question. I love to dress elegant, like a lady but tom-boyish other days..and just throw in a mix of the 90's there. (Elegant / Tom-boyish / 90s)

What fashion accessory would you not leave home without?

My sunglasses, I always have a pair with me. What beauty regime do you swear by?

Never go to bed with your makeup on. I rarely do it but I get so angry at myself if I wake up after a night out with a full face of makeup and my eyelashes still on. What do you enjoy most about blogging and what do you find challenging?

I love that I can do whatever I want. I find it really hard to make my content interesting, I don't want to bore anyone. Picking outfit looks is easy, it's always my style and never just cause it's in style, it's definitely my honest style.

What's your proudest moment to date?

I should really say graduating twice but I think it would have to be passing my driving test. It took me 3 tries but I made it there in the end.. thank god! What is your goal for the future?

My dream would to really make something big of my blog. I know it will take baby steps but I have the patience.

Hello darlings! Its time for another What I Wore! This was a very impromptu little photo shoot. My family and I were boating all afternoon and were all starving and too lazy to cook when we were finished! So a pizza night was the perfect solution. So without time to wash or…
