      Almost all of my photos are shot by my mom. And sometimes by my friend. I edit all of my photos though, and sort of 'direct' them as well, I am the one who usually decides the angles etc. I do use a tripod sometimes when shooting in my room, but not often.

      Well it isn't hard, per say, to do a collaboration. They usually just send you an item, which you get to pick out from their website, and then when you get it, you take some photos of it and promote it by linking back to them. What can be hard is to judge if this company is really serious about working with you, or if they just will "use" you and your audience to promote their clothes to a really low price, which is very common and I have done these collaborations as well. Which is fine, but it can make me sort of angry when I think about it..especially when these companies start to complain about HOW and WHERE I promote their clothes, always remember this: THEY are not doing you a favor by sending you clothes, it cost them basically nothing to send you a dress. YOU are doing them a great job by promoting their clothes.

      What I am saying is, basically, do a collaboration and see how it works out. But be critical and hold on to your principals, don't let anyone use you and your talent.

      Haha, it is cool but it's also a responsibility and a part of the "job", you know. Me, and other bloggers, do the marketing/advertising for them, often to a really low price. And a lot of companies use us bloggers and get us to sign up for sort of lousy deals to be honest. BUT some companies are really good, you just have to hold on to your principals, which can be hard when they are offering you awesome clothes. And it depends, I have worked with some of the same sponsors for a LONG time now, like Romwe. Some are newer and just temporary collaborations though. But I usually receive about 4-8 items/month. xo

      Oh thank you! And not really.."beauty" and make-up isn't really my thing, I just go for the basic usually.

      Oh, interesting question! And in fact, when I was around 12 I started writing several "books" haha, but I could never seem to finish them. I have always been interested in writing. But it would probably be about something I'm passionate about..maybe something related to fashion and feminsim and how fashion is an important industry for women? I don't think I would want to write fiction, actually.

      I admire several people. I admire anyone who has reached success by doing what they love and working for it. Among those are Meryl Streep, Grace Coddington, Anna Wintour, Scott Schuman.

      I make them in Photoshop, not really that hard, you do it in "animations", but it's difficult to explain. Google "GIF photoshop tutorials" and I'm sure you will find some useful info!

      A friend of mine designed it, HE IS very technical when it comes to web design and so on. I'm sort of technical I suppose, and I got an A in my "web design" class haha but I suck at HTML.

      Oh, I'm trying to save up money actually. But theoretically speaking and things I will pick from sponsors would be knits, skirts, long-sleeved dresses in warm colors. And neoprene sweaters..I love that fabric at the moment.

    14. Amanda Brohman

      Hej Leni! And thank you SO much for saying all that, really I'm so flattered.

      1. My goals for the future..well first of all getting into college. And then really being able to pursue what I love: which is fashion, fashion writing and styling.

      2. No, I haven't. But Switzerland and Sweden are constantly mixed up by Americans, for example. Haha. So I think a lot of people sometimes assume that I live in Switzerland, even though I don't. I'm sure it's a lovely country though!


      3. I speak Swedish and English fluently. And a little bit of Spanish, but don't start talking to me in Spanish, I'm not that good at it.

      I'm lucky enough to own a walk-in closet..so I more or less have all my clothes hanging on racks, which is a very good solution since they're easy to find and organize like that. But even if you don't have a that..you can organize your clothes by hanging them on a clothing rack in your room for example(a lot of my friends have this)..then you can pick out your favorite items at the moment and put together outfits like that in an easier way. It's also a good addition to your room, in terms of interior design.

      I did when I first got them, I don't wear them a lot at all anymore though. And well, it's harder to walk with them in deep snow, since they are heels..but if I remember correctly, they held up fine for being so high.

    17. Amanda Brohman

      Well sort of, even though you love something sometimes you're just lacking inspiration or you're busy and stressed. I have school and I also have other activities (volonteering for Red Cross stores for example) and as a blogger you need to keep it up, you can't quit blogging for a week just because you're busy with school. Or you can, but that will show off in the page views stats. So that can make me stressed, and I know a lot of bloggers are stressed by this: always finding something new to post, more or less every day. And I don't really like posting collages or photos/looks I haven't produced myself..so that can make it demanding.

      Sitcoms aren't really my thing, I don't like that fake laughter thing that's always going on in the background. But I love tv shows! My absolute favorite must be Sex And The City. Gilmore Girls is great too. And current shows I love include Glee and Modern Family. I used to LOVE Gossip Girl, but it's just gone to the bottom lately.

I am 17-year old fashion blogger and high school student and I run the blog The Style Gossiper. I'd rather gossip about a bad-ass dress than a bad-ass person. And I do so by capturing my style with daily snaps.
