Interview with a Beauty/Fashion Blogger: Fashion Bananas

I am excited to add another interview from a talented, down to earth blogger to the series. This time I had the pleasure to interview New York fashionista, Delmy Rivera from Fashion Bananas. Delmy is a master of makeup tutorials and honing her easy and feminine style. She is also a feature writer for LVC Magazine. This seasoned blogger shares her insight on blogging and fashion. You can view her fabulous blog at fashionbananas.com and follow her via twitter. She also has a shop set up and I am eyeing a pair of Chanel and Louis Vuitton booties she is selling. If only I was a size 8! Enjoy and until next time!

What are your signature pieces/ traits? I think blazers or cardigans. Always have one on., which you can check out at http:// LVCMag.com.

What does your current wishlist consist of? tons of shoes and sunglasses!

Fashion inspirations? I have a new inspiration almost every week. But I'd say Chloe Sevigny and Ashley Olsen.

Favorite online shops? Shopbop.com, etsy.com

Favorite local shops? Topshop and Cheap Jacks
