JANA’S STYLE: Some time ago someone said that I have no own style. Maybe that’s right. I don’t like to dress the same way everyday. I’d be so bored! I love grunge outfits but I also like romantic styles. So I’m just wearing what I like and it doesn’t matter what style it is.

INSPIRATION: I could browse through all these millions of fashion blogs on the internet for hours. It’s so inspiring! I also love lookbook.nu when there’s not much time to read so many blogs.

STYLE ICON: I don’t really have a style icon, but I’m so in love with Alexa Chung’s style. I nearly love everything she’s wearing.

WHAT ASPECT OF FASHION APPEALS TO YOU THE MOST? What I love at fashion is that it’s for everyone. It doesn’t matter if you’re super rich or if you have to sew clothes by your own. If you live in New York or in a small village. There’s always a way to express yourself with fashion for everyone. In an extroverted way or with a small statement.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WINTERTIME ACTIVITY? I’m a winter grouch. I hate snow. It’s cold and wet and stupid kids gonna pelt you with a snowball. So what I like the most in Winter is to stay somewhere where it’s warm and cosy and drink a hot cup of tea. 

STAPLE ITEMS FOR WINTER: Wearing three warm tights at the same time. And a little bit color. I don’t know why all the people are wearing so much black and grey now. It’s so colorless outside. We should really do something against that.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS: Going through the world with an open mind. I wanna greet the bus-drivers and offer people my help even on chippy days. And I would like to visit a new country. Maybe Iceland. Or Norway.

PAULINA’S STYLE: When asked about my style, I always answer that I don’t have one. My blog’s readers know that in every post I would look different. My sets tend to be elegant, rock, romantic, retro, modern, casual, etc. I could go on for ever. For me, fashion gives the opportunity to be someone else every day.

INSPIRATION: I draw inspiration from everywhere: pictures I find on the internet, movies, literature, blogs, street fashion, streets, fashion shows, architecture, environment. I have never been inspiring myself directly from something. It’s a little bit like this - if you live among the culture and fashion every day, it affects the perception of reality and the ideas just come to your mind.

STYLE ICON: It’s very difficult for me to answer this question. I certainly feel great respect for Anna dello Russo and Anna Wintour, who until recently I thought to be my icons. But I don’t know whether it was because of their style (of course very different), or rather their great influence on the fashion world in general. I’m probably not looking for the icon now, but I certainly do appreciate the style of: Tavi Gevinson, Julia Frakes, Miroslava Duma and really many, many bloggers whose sites I visit every day. I am also a great fan of the Carrie Bradshaw’s eclecticism in the movie Sex and the City

WHAT ASPECT OF FASHION APPEALS TO YOU THE MOST? There are many aspects, but three areas, which I’m connected professionally with, are the closest to my heart: styling, street fashion and fashion journalism. I hope that I’d be lucky and I’ll always be able to fulfill myself in what I do.

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WINTERTIME ACTIVITY? My plan of a winter day does not differ much from that at other times of the year. This means that I have very little free time, and if I find some, I spend it to carry out various projects related to fashion. Every year I try to use this period the best I can. I try to lead an active life, even in winter, so I don’t forget to exercise. My favorite winter sport is ice skating. It gives me a lot of fun. It is said that in winter we spend more time at home. In my case it does not work. The only change I notice is the fact that I drink more hot chocolate.

STAPLE ITEMS FOR WINTER: Certainly, comfortable, warm boots from natural waterproof leather. Every year, I was buying several pairs of boots and every time my feet froze in them. This season however, I decided to invest in their health and chose those that are not only aesthetically but also practical. Besides, woolen scarf, hat and gloves are essential. If they are colorful, they easily animate any stylization and certainly the grey weather that often accompanies this time of the year.

NEW YEAR’S RESOLUTIONS: As for those concerned with fashion, definitely to sort out my wardrobe, because my clothes have ceased to fit in there long time ago. As to personal life, maybe to be a little bit more cautious:). Actually, I’m not really into the idea of New Year’s resolutions …
