Name: Ariel Sansaricq
Age: 18
Location: Boston, Ma
Occupation: Student, fashion blogger

The outfit:

Vintage high waisted tweed pants, Leifsdottir white silk shirt, Staring at Stars Baja bustier from Urban Outfitters and Wyatt booties by Dolce Vita.

Inspiration:

I was inspired by the want to just mix the masculine vintage pants with something a little bit more fun and colorful with like the bustier.

I just wore it to hang out with my boyfriend ( I’m a true believer in dressing up to go no wear)

When did you first start blogging?
I have always wanted to start a blog, I did so off and on years ago but I did not officially stay with it till the summer of 2011.

Who inspires your style the most?
I’m mostly inspired by street style blogs, other bloggers or just walking through my favorite retail stores.

Describe your personal style?
I have never been able to really put the way I dress in a box per say. The way I dress is defiantly inspired by menswear, I love anything masculine, anything with color and prints, other than that I just try and always stay true to wearing whatever I want.

Favorite designers?
I have so many really, Channel will always be the house that inspired me to want to get into fashion, I love Valentino, Marc Jacobs, the list goes on but it’s more so the labels that constantly inspire me.

Style Icons?
Well in all honest growing up I never liked to look to one person to idealize in any way, but I will defiantly say that Chanel, Michel Jackson, and Audrey Hepburn are the three people that come to mind when I think of anyone that will always have my respect and admiration for their classic style visions.

Fashion trend
Favorite of the moment is printed pants. Least would have to be women still wearing leggings as pants.

“Made by me literally” I see you’re a big DIY-er. When did you start your DIYs and any plans for them?
I grew up always being taught to do things with my hands so it’s just in my blood really. Plans, I don’t have anythings set right now but I do have goals, I’m open to anything that comes out of it and maybe an Etsy shop coming soon?

Are you working on any other project you’d like us to keep an eye out for?
Right now I’m pretty focused on getting through the school year so I don’t have anything planed now but it’s early in the year so we will see.

When you hear the term “BlackFashion” What comes to mind?
Michel Jackson, early 90’s and the perfect afro.
