There is a long history of me reading Liebemarlene’s fashion blog, actually it goes further back as I remember seeing her ebay store first back in 2007. An adorable girl modeling pretty vintage dresses of course catches the eye. She was one of the few blogs I read prior to starting my own and her ability to overcome shyness to share posts with the world gave me courage. Rhiannon is a lover of small towns, antiques and silent film stars. She collects vintage dresses, often struggling over which items to sell and which to keep. Her photos really stepped up a notch when “Kumar” became her man behind the camera and created her lovely scrapbook frames. Please check out Liebemarlene and her ebay store.

1. What would you name your personal style?

I think I would call it romantic with a quirky twist . . . I wear mostly vintage, mostly dresses and girly things, but then I also have a thing for tall, ugly-ish shoes and and for mixing decades and pieces that don’t necessarily go together.

2. Is there anything you wouldn’t wear?

I guess I’ll probably never wear anything that’s really sexy or tight–well, stuff like that would look awful on me, so I’m just not drawn to it at all.

3. Where do you get your outfit inspirations?

I steal ideas from collections that I like and from street style sites and other fashion blogs. Or I’ll find one thing–a dress or skirt or blouse or pair of shoes or just a color scheme–and build the outfit around it. And I’m definitely inspired by old movies and old silent film star photos.

4. What’s your favorite non fashion hobby?

Lately I’ve been really into reading history books about the Civil War. I was never really into it all that much before or really American history of any kind, but living in the South is making me want to read up on every single battlefield and plantation around. Also when I work on Ebay listings I’ve been watching the Ken Burns Civil War documentary and it just about makes me cry.

5. How much time do you spend working on your blog?

Around two to three hours a day–it takes me the most time to come up with an idea for a blog post, usually. And getting the pictures together too–it’s always such a relief to finally hit upon something to write about, because the writing’s what comes the fastest.

6. What songs/albums are you loving right now?

T. Rex radio on Pandora! It’s wonderful . . . Right now my favorite thing to listen to probably is super early T. Rex–songs like Deborah and One Inch Rock and Beltane Walk are so weird-pretty!

7. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?

I think I always wanted to be a writer, ever since I was 9 or so. Before that I think I was too lazy to think about it. Oh, I think my sisters & I wanted to be cops so we wouldn’t get thrown in jail!

Rhiannon thank you so much for participating!!

Visiting Cammila’s blog is love at first site, with the fitting name Dressed Up Like a Lady as her outfits are always taken to that next level of put together, detailed and always accessorized.  She has a quirky feminine style that rivals our wildest fantasies of how we’d like to dress up mixing pink hair with lots of red, always in vintage and posing like a diva.  She is sweet as pie with all her readers and even inspired my current blue streak.  Below are her answers to the Symmetry Seven.

1. What would you name your personal style? I usually describe it as cinematic. I’m often inspired by characters in movies, but even more so, I just tend to think of outfits as part of a story or character.

6. What songs/albums are you loving right now? I’ve been listening to Eat to the Beat by Blondie pretty regularly for the past week or so. I’ve also developed this weird obsession with 70’s and 80’s soft rock, in an interest that quickly escalated from irony, to novelty, to earnest, inexplicable fixation. Also, I got to listen to the Dead Weather’s album today, Horehound, and I’m really excited about it.

7. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up? One time, I found a picture that I’d drawn in 1st grade, where the class assignment was to draw what you wanted to be when you grew up. It was divided into two halves, because I couldn’t decide between “Ballerina” and “Game Show Hostess.” So far I’m 0 for 2.

Cammila thank you so much for participating!!

The Clothes Horse

Without a doubt, The Clothes Horse is the friendliest fashion blogger around! Anyone who is a regular reader of Rebecca’s blog knows she will respond to your comments and even stop by your personal blog to say hello. That along with her knack for posing, inventive photoshoots and outfits have contributed to her skyrocketing success. Please enjoy The Clothes Horse’s answers to The Symmetry Seven.

1. What would you name your personal style?
I like to think of my style as “quirky ladylike.” I have a penchant for feminine dresses, but I like to mix things up a bit and add in personal touches like fascinators, colorful shoes, and whimsical details.

2. Is there anything you wouldn’t wear?
There’s an awful lot I would never wear…but trends tend to wear me down over time. I’m not interested in harem pants, shredded tees, or overly sexy pieces.

3. Where do you get your outfit inspirations?
The old classic films that I was raised on, like Bonnie and Clyde starring Faye Dunaway. Other bloggers online are another huge inspiration and street fashion sites and books. I first started to really get into fashion with the “Fruits” books featuring Japanese street style.

4. Tell us about your day job?
I guess currently I join the ranks of the unemployed! I just graduated from college less than a month ago and I used to work part-time as a cashier on my campus. Right now I’m “figuring things out.”

5. How much time do you spend working on your blog?
It’s hard to say, probably about two hours go into a post. This includes the time I take to photograph my outfits and upload the images. I end up spending hours just browsing around the web and reading other blogs.

6. What songs/albums are you loving right now?
I can’t get ‘The Hazards of Love’ by the Decemberists out of my head lately. I especially like the haunting lit from the accordion in the song “Isn’t It A Lovely Night?” on that album.

7. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
An unmarried mother; I was quite convinced when I was very little that motherhood was the best route but had no interest in having a man in my life. My parents tried many times to convince me this might not be the best route…

Rebecca thank you so much for participating!!

Beth of The Vintage Society has the Boho Style we dream of and the amazing shoe collection to go along with it. At the beginning stages of her blog she was reworking vintage pieces to have more modern lines and selling the items at trunk shows. Flash forward a year or two and now she has skyrocketed to working in a full time paid gig in the Fashion Industry! It’s no wonder she has much less time to post her ‘Instant Outfits’, ‘Shops Around the Corner’ and ‘Vintage Society Girl’ posts of fabulousness. That’s okay we understand, we know you are still out there being fabulous everyday and checking in when you can. Below are Beth’s answers to The Symmetry Seven.

1. What would you name your personal style?
70’s Glamour – a mix of boho glam and preppy chic.

2. Is there anything you wouldn’t wear?
Baby pink ugg boots and a jersey tunic with mid calf leggings..

3. Where do you get your outfit inspirations?
I collect images and photos of my inspirations such as magazine editorials,streetstyle shots from around the world, photos of my style icons (Ali MacGraw, Anita Pallenberg, Janis Joplin), and I love watching movies from the 70’s . Basically anything that makes me stop and stare!

4. Tell us about your day job?
I wear many hats. My main day job is as the online fashion editor for Quiksilver Women. I cover all things related to their clothing line as well as anything fashion. This also includes coming up with ways to market the line to their audience online. We just launched the spring ‘09 line with an “It Girl” campaign featuring 6 bloggers in the LA area. We had each one style a look signature to themselves to showcase the different personalities of Quiksilver Women. We are have another exciting project in the works to launch Fall ‘09. I also do personal and editorial styling.

5. How much time do you spend working on your blog?
I used to spend a lot of time and energy, but now that I am working for Quiksilver Women – my energy is focused on producing for them. I try to keep things rolling on The Vintage Society as much as possible, but unfortunately.. I don’t have the time I used to.

6. What songs/albums are you loving right now?
I am really cliche when it comes to music. I just love anything that puts me in the mood I am feeling at the moment. Sometimes I want a little Beyonce “Single Ladies”, or “One Republic” and “Coldplay” for the good times, or “Joni Mitchell” for the moody times.

7. When you were little, what did you want to be when you grew up?
I was a very dramatic little girl and all I could dream of was being a broadway actress on 42nd street in New York City.
