Exclusive Interview With Designer Ella of Lipped Media

Well, I'm pleased to post my second treat for the day...an exclusive interview with Designer EllaDesigner Ella of Lipped Media, a network of fashion blogs ranging in topics from handbags, high fashion, and celebrity fashion - just to name a few.  It's not too often that you come across other talented entrepreneurs who also blog and share your same passions. 

So, when I first discovered Kiss Me, Stace and read more about "Designer Ella", I knew that she was definitely a soul-sister ;)   Being new to the fashion blogosphere, she welcomed me with open arms and I appreciate all the comments she contributes to TheRunwayScoop. 

This is part one of a three-part interview.  So without further ado...

You attend college and manage a blogging network - how do you do it?
-- Something's gotta give, right? That's so true, but I can't just focus on one thing. I get bored fairly easily, and I need something personally exciting to drive me. I also want money and this is a plan for the future I like. So how do I do it? I just let things give, sometimes. I take it slowly and make sure I don't burn myself out. Really, I feel like I'm going with this massive flow, but if I'm kept busy, then I mostly just notice I'm happy.
 

Who or what motivates  you? -- I'm competitive, and I've always been motivated by achievements and feedback. I'm motivated by money, yes. And I'm also motivated by how happy this makes me (even though I sit on my bum too much) and inspired that I feel like I'm doing something special. Really, I'm also frightened at the thought of having to follow orders and edit my writing according to someone else's ideas. I want to work for me, not some company. I just want to follow my bliss!

(I totally agree with following your bliss!)

 

What spurred your passion for fashion blogging? -- My mum watched What Not to Wear and before I really saw it, I didn't understand. It's not the most important media for fashion inspiration, but it set off something in me when I became a fan. I was always a little fashionista, but it never controlled my life. When I saw shiny silver and pink pumps both in one episode of the show, I became a shoe person. I found Zappos, then I found a shoe blog. I didn't know such things could exist! I was never a huge blogger before then, I didn't even know about niches, I don't think. Suddenly, it was natural to me.

And then ... things grew uncontrollably. ... I'd love for a business to be a write-off for life's karma, like taxes. "But it's for my work!" Oh, but I digress.

Tomorrow Designer Ella shares with us what she sees in the future for fashion blogs and what she's learned about fashion blogging.  In the meantime, check out the blogs at Lipped Media:
