Interview with The College Prepster

I am so excited. Last week, I got the opportunity to interview one of my all-time favorite fashion bloggers, Carly from The College Prepster and feature the interview right here on my blog. Carly was such an inspiration to why I started my blog, so I loved getting the chance to hear why she started her blog, what her inspirations were, what some of her favorite brands are, as well as her favorite hobbies. Don't forget to head over to Carly's blog! The College Prepster

When did you start blogging?

I started blogging in 2008, right after my first semester at Georgetown.

What inspired and influenced you to start your blog? Any particular reasons?

My blog was born out of a need for a creative outlet. I was struggling to adjust to college life and needed something to distract me and something to look forward to. The blog was the perfect solution!

How did you come up with the name for your blog, “The College Prepster”?

Originally it was College Prep, kind of a play on words and then I would refer to myself as "the college prepster." Over time, I dropped the College Prep and just went with College Prepster!

Did you always have a love for fashion?

I've always been interested in it, but it wasn't really something I thought too much about growing up!

Where did you go to college? What did you major in?

Georgetown. I majored in Marketing

When did you decide to blog for a living?

When I quit my job after working there for a year I decided to try blogging full time for three months. I honestly thought I'd hate it but it was the best. I finally had time for most of what I wanted to do – and had time for an actual life! Blogging went from something I did in (all) my free time to my job!

Who are some of your favorite bloggers?

I love mom blogs and catching up on my friends' lives through their blogs!

What is your favorite clothing store? What are your favorite brands?

I can always find something I love at J. Crew and Tuckernuck!

What do you do in your free time when you’re not blogging?

Reading, yoga, playing with the dogs!

In three words, how would you describe your style?

Classic, comfortable, and chic.
