Ravishingly is a Midwest Gypsetter
For all you indie loving girls out there : Brae of fashion blog Ravishingly is the perfect inspiration. Her use of girly accents like frilly skirts, floral halos and quirky animal accessories is balanced with a charmingly monotone expression in her daily outfit posts. Electric Frenchie got a chance to interview her. Doesn’t she looks darling in our Mink Pink unicorn top!?
Interview after the jump…
Q: What is on your playlist?
A: It’s pretty diverse right now. I really like the new Disclosure album and I am into electronic music. SBTRKT is on rotation.
Q: You mentioned you have a frenchie too! What is his name and how did you come up with it?
A: I got Vincent, my frenchie last November. His litter mate is with my cousin’s brother. Vincent got his name because I wanted to give him a pompous stereotypical French name… but after a few months I realized that Vincent isn’t even French, it’s italian!
Q: Any funny stories about posting/picture taking? How do you take your photos?
A: I live in a small town in Montana so I am used to getting strange looks every time I walk out of the house. Also, because it’s a small town that is pretty spread out I can go ten minutes out of town and be completely secluded. So usually I set up a tripod and take photos myself. If I plan on going in public I definitely bring a friend to take photos for me.
Q: What excites you about indie fashion?
A: Anything goes. Thats the exciting part. It hasn’t been created yet. There isn’t a defined set of rules. You can make it whatever you want it to be.
Q: If you could travel anywhere next week where would it be?
A: Definitely Japan. It may be cliche but I really want to check out the Harijuku scene. I love the culture and street style in Japan.
Q: Who are some of your favorite bloggers?
A: Olivia Lopez of Lust for Life is great. I also enjoy Pale Division out of Australia and Fated To Be Hated out of Las Vegas.
Q:Who is your fave trend-setter. What ready to wear labels are you digging right now?
A: I like KTZ shoes. My friend showed me it recently and I love it. Shakuhachi out of Australian has amazing stuff. Stolen GF club out New Zealand. I am a shoe person.

Q: How long have you been blogging and what inspired you to get it started?
A: It’s been about a year now. I started b/c I joined lookbook.nu and I started checking out other pals blogs and thinking and I could do that. It usually depends on the weather when I get out to take photos.
Q: What do you do when you aren’t blogging?
A: When its not Summer I go to school for Poly Sci with a minor in Media Arts… I don’t know what I am doing with it yet. I started pre-med and I don’t want to go to school for 15 hrs. I have a vintage shop too. I go to yard sales and find a lot of stuff. You never know what you are going to find… I love yard sales. Finding a box of mod clothing is like heaven.
Q: Who are you fashion icon(s)?
A: I wouldn’t say I have any per se. I like to look to the average and ordinary things in life for style inspiration.
Q: What pieces at Electric Frenchie make your heart skip a beat?
A: My pics include the Temple Beaded vest by Somedays Lovin’, The Finders Keepers Memphis Blues dress in black, Mink Pink cheeky studded shorts & the rose colored silk turban.
