Let's Chat: Sara from A DOSE OF PRETTY
Is everyone staying warm enough this morning? I am so freaking over this cold snow. Let's all grab a cup of coffee and tie our kids down in front of Princess Sofia and enjoy the second installment of my new series, Let's Chat.
I'm so excited to welcome Sara Mueller, author of A DOSE OF PRETTY, here today to chat with us about some of her favorite things. Sara is a wife and mother currently living in North Carolina. In addition to blogging, Sara has a blossoming graphic design business. She also has a killer eye for styling.
Q. SELF OR SPACE are you more drawn to fashion or interior design?
A. I am genuinely obsessed on both. Fashion became more of my aspect in my more youthful years. I assume it's simpler for me to decide on apparel and shoes then to choose furniture. It's a lot less difficult to decide to style as it's less difficult to replace a coat or a pair of footwear, but furnishings once you make the decision and purchase the piece, you are form of caught it with for some time. Interior layout is a slower procedure where frequently instances I need to be patient to find the right piece and alas, endurance isn't my largest virtue.
Q. FAVORITE ROOM IN YOUR HOUSE
A. This fluctuates a bit. It depends on my mood and most of the time it really depends where my focus is going. I'm currently in the process of adding a few pieces to our master bedroom and because a lot of my energy is going into it, it's becoming my favorite room.
Q. FAVORITE OUTFIT
A. I love dressing up, but working from home and taking care of the kids, doesn't really allow me to. I guess I could, but wearing heels in the house isn't my thing. I tend to gravitate towards jeans. I love comfy with a dressed up feel - jeans, a tee or pullover, a pretty necklace, and a pair of loafers or ballet flats, like you are seeing in the pictures. And my messy ponytail is sort of becoming my signature look. Occasionally, I feel the need to wear heels and do my hair, and so I do, even if I'm only going to the grocery store.
Q. FAVORITE ARTIST OR DESIGNER
A. I recently fell in love with the work of Kate Long Stevenson. I was hoping to add this piece from her to our master bedroom, but sadly it sold out. And for a fashion designer, my favorite is Chanel, but I love Louis Vuitton, Hermes, YSL, and Valentino as well. My go-to easy on the wallet is J.Crew and Zara and I try to mix high-end pieces {I don't really have many} with those brands.
Q. BIGGEST OBSESSION
A. Lately, it's Chanel beauty products. I cannot get enough. They are really worth the splurge! This 12 months one of my goals is to take better care of my pores and skin and I even have determined that I want to be excited about the products so one can use them. If I'm no longer enthusiastic about them, they generally tend to take a seat on my lavatory shelf untouched. I am selecting nicely even though it method I'll pay more. As my thirty fifth birthday tactics, I am honestly making an attempt to age gracefully - frame and thoughts.
Thank you for having me Julia!
