Blogger Spotlight: Claire Liu From Von Vogue

The next personal style blogger in my Blogger Spotlight series is the lovely Claire Liu from the blog Von Vogue. She is from Vancouver, Canada and has a great mix of style and fashion sense. I adore her feminine looks, especially when she pairs dainty skirts with denim shirts or layers her knitwear over plaid shirts. Check out her interview with me below!

What made you decide to start your fashion blog?

I originally started a beauty/lifestyle blog with my Asian readers when I was a third year engineering student. Then I met my fashion photographer friend, Willy, and we decided to work together on an occasional basis. It was just for personal interest, but I learned a lot of new things about fashion and photography while working with Willy, which got me into this blogging world. Until last summer, I bought a full-frame DSLR and finally started my fashion blog to share my personal style with the world.

Where do you get your inspiration from?

I find inspiration from magazines, street style, personal style blogs and celebrities, so I don’t really have a particular person to follow for my wardrobe. I follow some of my favorites bloggers or brands on Instagram so I can get inspiration daily!

How would you describe your personal style?

It’s more of a mix and match. I love playing with colors and prints, matching them together, but sometimes I like to go with chic and preppy style. I prefer not to put too much makeup on because I don’t feel like I’m being myself with so much eyeliners and foundation on my face (more like wearing a mask!). I usually use lipsticks and blush, adding a little color to complete the look with my outfits.

Do you have some favourite pieces in your closet?

Currently, I like my ZARA heels and booties. They are easy to go with any outfit and so comfortable! Also, I like my coats/jackets from ZARA and MANGO because they keep me warm in this freezing Vancouver weather, but stay stylish at the same time, he he.

What one thing can’t you be without?

This is going to be a hard choice but I would go with my camera! I love capturing beautiful things or special moments and sharing with people, so I have to carry my camera with me all the time! To me, a photo can tell a story in different ways; it depends on how people look at the photo. I feel this is very important while taking a picture of an outfit; it tells people about your personality and style just through a single photo.
