Anonymous asked: what's a diploma of professnal styling?

It’s via correspondence and basically it’s a combination of personal styling, celebrity styling, off body styling, fashion editorial styling etc. and a tiny bit of food styling. 

Anonymous asked: Hey Kate, I was wondering how you came to start your whole blog. How long did it take you to gain a decent amount of followers? How did you start it all?

I started it in July 2010 and within the first day I had 120 followers and within a month, over 600. It just happened incredibly quickly and I don’t know why really. I think the fact that I have always blogged regularly helped, so did interacting within the Tumblr community and utilising other platforms. I’m not sure about when I got a ‘decent’ amount of followers, I only know those dates from an interview I did with The Talented Mr Nobody just after starting the blog.

I’ll take some photos tomorrow (hopefully!) and do a post! Thank you for the idea! I used to be exactly the same, it’s only a recent craze x

Anonymous asked: I have my graduation photoshoot in a week. They want me to wear a formal skirt. HELP.

I’m Australian and we don’t do graduation photo shoots here so I am a little lost. Do you mean like a formal skirt as in not a casual skirt? If that’s the case, what about a nice high waisted skirt to just above the knee (a really simple, non-garish, kind of dress one like this one). Or a maxi skirt, again probably in a simple colour, maybe with pleats in chiffon or something like that. Maybe just scour through the shops and see what grabs yours fancy. I don’t know the procedure or how much leeway you get or anything, but remember it is your graduation photo so make it your own and wear something you’re comfortable in.

Anonymous asked: Hi I kinda wanna be a blogger so how do I start? Like what should I post about? Should I be reblogging stuff and not post my own?

It depends what kind of blogger you want to be. You could do a combination of everything like I am, a personal style blogger, a street style blogger, an editorial blogger - the choice is entirely yours. There is no right or wrong.

Anonymous asked: hey do you have any ideas any what i could get my friend for her 18th? i'm so lost for ideas! x

Ah I have no idea, 18th’s are hard. Perfume, jewellery, I don’t know. It’s always good to do a group present for 18th’s I think! x
