Hi, Fashionistas! Welcome to the world of fashion and trends!

Welcome, Fashionistas!

This is my very first blog of my latest website: ThEfAsHiOnIsTaS! Hope you enjoy it.

Here's a little bit about me:

Q:Who am I?

My name is Susan a.k.a. by my internet name 'AmandaMarta'

I am currently enrolled as a student at University of Western Ontario in Canada

Also, I am currently studying social sciences and going into the Criminology Program next year.

A model, a fashionisatas, and a trend-lover.

Q. Favourite Shops? Places to Shop?

Wow. That's a whole alot. I confess I'm a shop-alcholic and love to shop! I live in a smaller city than like Toronto so there's not a whole lot of shop to browse/shop at. I love heading to White Oaks Mall especially when they opened a new H&M down beside Urban Behaviour. Urban Behaviour is another store that I shop at as well.

Lol, here is a list:

-Aritiza

-H&M

-Guess

-Aldo ( one of my fave shoe shop to go to)

-Marciano

-Gap

-Club Monaco

-Banana Republic

-Jacob

-Town Shoes

-Buffalo

-Suzy Shier

-Urban Behaviour

-Lululemon

-American Eagle Outfitters

-and ManyMore!

As well, I go shopping often to Chicago and Toronto. Some of my fave shops to go to: Chanel, D&G, Coach, VS (Victoria's Secret), Bebe, LaCoste,Abercrombie&Fitch, Hollister, Sephora, Macy's, Nine West, and there's alot more but I decided to leave as that.

Q. Any trends that inspire you?

I must say, I love the new trend, Black. This season's hottest look is Black. I love it how they bring all of these styles from way back and bring it back as new fashion. Black is one of my favourite colours to have in my wardrobe. Black can go with anything in my wardrobe! Black can go with any color and it makes you look a lot slimmer. You can wear it for any season and its just a beautiful, classic, sexy, and conservative color. You can never go wrong with this colour.

Earlier this year, I took a look into a magazine to find that one-shouldered tops/dresses were in!

Plus, Jewelry came back in 2009 to make a statement. Which was one of my favourite trends of 2009 so far.

How old are you and what inspired you to set up your blog/site?

I am actually 19 years old. I started writing blogs throughout high school for various websites. I also wanted a place to post latest and current fashion and trends from the runway to celebrities that can be worn as everyday casual or dressy or down-to-earth fashion on youths. I got to say, I love shopping but not always what you find in a magazine or on celebs, would appear in the stores of shopping malls.

Q.How did you came with the name of the website?

Actually, good question. I thought of fashion and lifestyles. Girls especially young teens want to be into fashion, in style, following the trends, and not to be left out. This is a significant part of their teens years to be in fashion and in style and show off what you got that others would dive into malls for. So, I fully decided to name it: the Fashionistas for people who devoted to fashion, fashion trends, style, celebrities, particularly with high fashion.

Q: Do I work in the fashion industry?

No, I am a student at the University of Western Ontario. In fact, I am majoring in Criminology, minor in Modern Languages.On the side, I do some commercial modelling with The Agency here in London. But, hopefully, in the near future, I can be part of the fashion industry.

Q. Where do you come up with topics to blog about?

I don't have any specific ideas to blog about. But, if I find something interesting in my daily life or online on the web, discussing news with my friends that we saw in the mall, streets, or websites, I'll write about. Then, I take all of these ideas/thoughts and put them together like a scrapbook, and post them online for others to view and discuss about.
