How has your style changed in the last few years? Do you have any style icons or people that you love to dress like? You have an elegant and classic taste :)

Thank you so much! My style has changed dramatically over the past few years. Really only since a year ago I started styling myself and caring what I wore. Before then I would dress in very traditionally “teenager-y” clothes. Jeans, t-shirts, tank tops, yoga pants, and hoodies. But now that I’m feeling more like an adult, I like to look more put together, most days.

I have many style icons, some real, and some fictional. Lauren Conrad, Taylor Swift, Olivia Palermo, Billie Piper as “Belle” in the show Secret Diary of a Call Girl, Audrey Hepburn (and the 50’s/60’s in general), Joan from Mad Men, and Serena from Gossip Girl (I love everything she wears in that show - her styling is superb), to name but a few.

I don’t feel that my style has really settled yet, I’m still trying new things and experimenting and figuring out what my personal style is. :)

Hi Sara, I follow your instagram and I am constantly falling in love with the clothes and jewellery you have and I rush over to Forever 21 online but of course they have sold out or were available quite a while ago. I try and find similar items of clothing but I can never find anything. You have incredible taste and I wish I had the talent to pick out clothes as well as you do!

That is really sweet of you, thank you so much! (And thanks for following me on Instagram!) :)

I'm 20 years old and just found out I have a 30 year old brother. I don't really know how I feel about this or what to do. I'm meeting him on Sunday with the rest of my family, I don't know what to say

Oh wow - that’s a really dramatic shift in your life! It’ll take a while to adjust to, so give yourself time. Don’t expect to feel normal about it right away, it’s okay to have feelings! I really hope the meeting goes well for you!

What would you wear with navy lace shorts? I've had a pair for awhile but haven't worn them yet because I don't know what would look nice with them! Thank you!

Maybe a cute white blouse and a blazer? It’s kind of difficult for me to say without knowing what the item looks like and your body type. Different things are flattering on different people! :) Here a few inspirations I found while googling “navy lace shorts”.

eyelines smudge really easily on me too! would you mind telling what eyeliners you use? especially liquid and pencil!

My favorite black pencil eyeliner is Lancome’s Le Crayon Khol, my favorite black liquid eyeliner is Stila’s Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner, and my favorite brown (sparkly) pencil eyeliner is Stila’s Smudge Stick Waterproof Eye Liner in “lionfish”. :)

What are some of your favorite drugstore eyeliners and mascaras?

Sorry, I don’t use drugstore eyeliners simply because I have never been satisfied with them. My eyes smudge really, really easily, so I need the best possible formulation. As far as mascaras, quite the opposite! I love drugstore mascaras, particularly the Maybelline Falsies Flared one, in blackest black (the waterproof formula).

if you were going to go on a trip to paris, which makeup items would you pack? :)

As much as I could carry, really! I think it’d be too long a list to put here. But all the makeup I’d need for my everyday face, plus some fancier makeup for going out in the evenings.

Haha! I took this one about twenty minutes ago, and posted it on instagram. It’s legit, I promise! ;)

What should I do in order to avoid getting so stressed about school? I'm tired of feeling this way.

For me, I find it helps if I just focus on one day at a time. At university, you get the whole course syllabus at once, at the beginning of the semester - and when you read all the things you’ll have to do during the term it can seem overwhelming, daunting, and sometimes impossible! But the thing of it is, day after day, week after week, you’ll get through it, and soon it’ll be over. And you won’t believe you were able to do it all, but you did!

Just try to divide up the work, figure out what you have to do today, and do it. You can manage, I know you can. Don’t forget to take breaks, and do things you enjoy to unwind, in between. Best of luck!

I Love the necklace and earrings! They are beautiful! :O How much did they cost?

Thank you very much! They were not very expensive at all, since they are not any brand name. :)
