Voici enfin le question/réponse ! Comme il est assez long, je l’ai mis uniquement en anglais, mais il est facilement compréhensible tant mon vocabulaire est simpliste.

Here is the Q & A ! Sorry for the poor English, I did it myself as it is a bit long, so a better translation will be for the next article. Hope it is still understandable thought !

If you could realize 3 wishes ( other than peace in the world, end of starvation, family health) what would they be ? Hmm this is a tough question, hard to choose … I would like to be always happy as I am now, I would like to have a magic wand to make appear anything I want Immediately , and a flying hover, just like in back to the future !

My favorite parks are Le parc Monceau where I spent a lot of time when I was a kid, and le parc des Buttes Chaumont. In Which places could I see you ?  Just to see you in real ( at last ! ) OMG this is a bit scary ! I’m quite hesitating to answer this … let’s say anywhere in Paris !

No doubt, I always loved fairy tales !

What type of camera and film (if it is a film camera) do you use? Do you ever edit them on the computer? (such as the vignetting on the bunny-in-teacup photo). I’m using a canon 450 D, withe a Canon EF – Objectif 50 mm f/1.8 II lens. For the pictures such as the bunny in teacup photo, I’m using Poladroid, you can find it here  Who’s taking your pictures ? I mostly takes the pictures myself, using a tripod and a remote, but sometime my friends or my fiancé helps me. Where do you find all those places for your photos ? Is it near Paris or anywhere in France or other countries ? In fact I take advantage of my travels to take pictures anywhere I go. So it can be in very different places, along the Seine in Paris where I live, at the country side during the week end, at grand parents or friend houses during the holidays… Where is located the country house where you take so many beautiful pictures ? There’s not only one place  as I was previously saying, but to give a better idea, at the countryside around paris, and in Auvergne in the middle of France.I was just wondering how you made you blog. Could you also tell us where you made this blog? It’s quite hard to explain, as I didn’t made the blog by myself. It  is hosted by dreamhost, and my platform is wordpress. Will you create some other decoration articles ? I must admit I’m missing them. I think I will probably make some in the next months, as I really would like to change my interior decoration.

Mardi gras ! I had this jacket my dad brought me from his travel to China.

I really wonder what you do in real life? What is your job? You should be only taking beautiful photos, you are so talented with your eyes. In the real life, I’m a fashion designer. but I would take photos my hole time if only I could ! Is your real life as magical as it seems on your blog ? In fact my blog is very close to the reality. Most of the places where I take the photos are places I live in, and the clothes I’m showing are all my own. I must admit I’m really a lucky person ! At what age did you know you wanted to study fashion? I always loved clothes, but decided to really get into it at the age of 14. When did you start drawing (I am always beyond impressed with them!) and sewing? Drawing, since I’m able to hold a pencil, sewing when I started fashion school. In fact I never really enjoyed sewing, I much prefer to make drawings !.  I’m thinking, ways to teach myself to draw better and how to learn sewing. Do you have any advice what I could do? I don’t really feel like the good person to answer, but I think the more you’r making drawing, the more your skills get better. For sewing, the best person is your mother or your grandma I think ! What did you studied ? I’ve been to a fashion school for 3 years, learning custom tailoring, and improve my fashion designing and drawing skills. I also worked at Alexander McQueen and Chloé, Which is my favorite brand. Where can I find your creation, can we buy them from other countries than France ? You can find my designs on the site atelierdelamode.com, And it is possible to order anywhere in the world. Is there gonna be a By Alix spring summer collection ? Maybe ;-)

How do you manage to see the potential of a clothe when you are shopping ? I don’t know. .. if when I see a clothe, I have a sudden urge  to wear it, and that it gives me some outfits ideas, it surely makes it a no mistake piece. How do you take care of your beautiful hair, what are your products, any hair colour ? Thanks ! In fact my hair are not naturally straight. I make them to be straighten every year at my favorite hairdresser. They are not curly either, but were needing more dicipline ! So I’m really satisfied of it. On the side I’m using Pantene Pro-V products only, they are the only ones Which works on my hair ! And I’m not doing any colour, dark brown is my natural one. What are you favorite beauty products ? I’m not using so much makeup, 4 products max: a Make Up Forever foundation , a Chanel eyeliner, and a red lipstick I’m using on the cheeks. I’m a fan of Bioderma products, especially the liquid makeup remover, and the anti shine cream gel. In the morning I wash my face with a La Roche-Posay smooth gel.  What’s your recipe to stay slim, you look really classy ! Gosh it’s curious to hear that as I don’t considerate myself as the slimmest person. I’m doing nothing in particular, I’m not really into sport, but I definitely should ! Do you know how to play the ukulele ?I’m playing really badly ! Even having two ukulele, I’m only using them for decoration, such a shame I know !

Have you found that your original vision for starting this blog and the blog as it exists now have a gap? That is to say, how (if at all) would you say the blog now has (if at all) drifted from or changed from the original vision of the blog? Basically, do you find that these things tend to take on a life of their own after a little while (or especially after becoming popular)? I don’t feel like there is a gap, even if I feel that things evolve. Maybe the most noticeable « changing » things are  the picture showing an evolution in quality ( I’m not using a digital camera anymore ! ). But I still have the same habits, and my style remain the same even if it’s not a complete copy from 2 years ago.  I don’t considerate myself as popular, but with more and more people visiting, I just want to do something everytime better, which makes the blog in a constant change, in a good way !
