Love this post! I actually made a post like this on my blog a couple of days ago, but it's in Norwegian though :p
Such a lovely post. Nice to hear about you! :)
I'm a romantic dreamer. I have most fun when I do something with fashion. I believe that fashion is more than what the eye sees alone.
Love is a necessity.I'm addicted to hot chocolate, the way summer makes me feel and running funnily through malls causing peculiar stares, I'm born in Denmark but my heritage is Australia. I probably wouldn't be able to function properly without children's breakfast cereals in the morning.
Lots of love,
Mikaela
i am probably emily & your biggest fan, i love wildfox and everything that goes along with it. your recommendation of reading, "weezie bat" totally changed my life for the better. you have my ultimate dream job.
I live in Amsterdam
I love running
I love drawing flowers & eyes
I started blogin because of your blog
I love New York, but who doesn't
I lived in Australia for a couple of months
I wish to go to the Coachella festival someday
I am a little wild in comparison to other girls
I shouldn't be awake anymore is night time here in Amsterdam

-- THIS. I'm obsessed with romantic period piece dramas, and I only have a few friends who share the same interest, so I find it awesome that you like them too. :D
I wish we could see the beauty products you use :)
I work for a canadian magazine and really love your blog !
I love those photos of you- very fresh faced.
Thanks so much! Ahhh I love reading your interests and where you are!! Tell me more! I will do a beauty post with what I use, although I am very bad about washing my face.
Mikaela- hot chocolate is the best
Romantic Period piece dramas are my favourite too! Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong era.. Technology has put a massive indent on romance, but then if it didn't exist I wouldn't be able to be inspired by people from across the world!
I love the beach in winter and day dream about doing something unique in my life.. one day :) x

Hi Kimberly.. I have been following this blog for ever it seems like- I love it. You always post such inspiring images; I especially love your personal posts and stories that you write. SO creative!! This brand & you and Emily are amazing, I wish I could work for you guys!!
We talked on iChat last summer until 1:30 am and it honestly changed my perspective on my inspirations and everything! You told me to start a blog & to write stories and make inspiration boards. And I did ALL of that. I took a creative writing class last fall and loved it. Anyway, thank you so much for all of that.
influences:
I am 22 and have lived in Huntington Beach my entire life- the beach lifestyle is absolutely my main influence.
I feel like my tastebuds are changing- stoked! beets w/ arugula & feta... gala apples & chunky peanut butter !!
I just found the word 'wanderlust'(a strong, innate desire to travel) and am obsessed with it. I feel like it totally describes me.
I have 3 tattoos.. two of them are because I love the Beatles
I watch Friends to kill time or put me in a good mood.
I also cry easily!!
I love to journal & take pictures.
Your blog & work are very inspirational . My passion for fashion grew at a young age when i wrote a research paper on Coco Chanel (i would love working as a stylist or any creative aspect of the industry). I’m afraid at failing at it and don’t know where to start. I’m 19 & going to college not sure what career i see my self in. Yet your work gives me hope /motivation to one day follow my dreams & work in a creative aspect of the fashion industry.

Well here we go!!! I'm a 24 year old Turkish girl!!! :) I'm from Istanbul, Turkey. I went to college in La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA for 4 years and than lived in NYC for a year. Came back home.
I'm a professional musical theatre actress! I sing songs for Disney and they're all in Turkish. I'm also working in a huge production company which brings Bon Jovi, Rammstein, Iron Maiden, Kylie Minogue, etc. to Turkey for Arena Concerts. It is a very hard job but I'm loving it so far.
I love to write on my blog. It takes me away from my crazy performing life and calms me down...
I'm also engaged to the love of my life and couldn't be happier.
I'm a romantic but too scared to admit it in real life! I love pink, purple and black. I HATE the color red! I don't own anything in my closet or my life that is the color red. I sound more American than some of my American friends when I talk!!!! LOL. I guess being an actress and going to a conservatory in USA perfected my pronunciation and accent. (Almost!!!!) I model for my photographer friends and ALL of the make ups are done by me. I can do a pretty good job in Special Effects / Cosmetics make up.
I love your blog and ALWAYS dream of being in it one day. Maybe you'll put a picture of me too? :) I feel like I'm the only Turkish follower you have who writes comments! Maybe it's because they're too afraid to write in English. It's okay! I feel like when someone posts something, if you read it, you better write a comment and appreciate that post! I mean it's okay to just read it and close the page, but I feel like it's not fair for the author of the post. You spend time writing, editing and posting it. Why not thank her, right? ;)
Love your blog... Hope you like mine too! It can give you some ideas about fashion and make up in a totally different country (Turkey) ...
Xoxo,
