Jill of Little Black Boots is SoCal cool, mixing bohemian pieces with city chic confidence in her style posts. Learn more about this tiny girl with larger than life #frenchiestyle in our fashion blogger Q & A as she shows off her Somedays Lovin’ Temple Beaded Vest from Electric Frenchie:
EF: Is the name “Little Black Boots” homage to a special pair of boots? If not, how did you come up with your blog name?
LBB: It is an ode to my favorite footwear. I have a pretty extensive collection of little black boots, but there is a special pair that I just can’t seem to take off.
EF: Your favorite trend of Summer 2013?
LBB: I really love the overalls comeback. It’s nice seeing a childhood classic all grown up. Plus, they are so damn comfy.

EF: When did you know you needed to start a fashion blog?
LBB: I really got the itch when I was living in San Diego a few years ago. Fashion had always been a big love of mine and I felt like I lost a bit of that during my time there. It was a culmination of needing a creative outlet and wanting to be a part of the blogger world I saw on the rise.

EF: What are a few projects you are working on right now?
LBB: A constant project is keeping my blog fresh and exciting. I’m venturing into other aspects of media that I haven’t tackled quite yet like Tumblr and videos. I’m also working on an online store so readers can shop my closet!

EF: What is it like when you and your boyfriend are out shooting? Are there any funny/embarassing stories of being in a crowded space doing #ootd’s?
LBB: In my early days I was an awkward mess. I was very uncomfortable shooting if there was even one person within a 2 mile radius. Now it’s pretty easy for me to block out any people that may be around me. My boyfriend is really good at being aware of where we are and making it as less painful for me as possible. We have a pretty awesome system now. The funniest experience was probably for my “10th Tribe” post. We were shooting on a hill off the side of a freeway out in the boonies. I was wearing a pretty scandalous outfit that pretty much looked like I forgot my pants. We had not one, but two cops show up to tell us to scram. The cherry on top was that he had to carry me on his back down the hill because heels and rocks don’t mix well.
EF: If you could travel anywhere next month where would you go?
LBB: Tough choice but probably to Tokyo. It would be nice to check that off my bucket list.
EF: Your favorite holiday?
LBB: Christmas! I love giving presents and the abundance of cookies.

EF: What’s the last really good concert/show you went to?
LBB: Major Lazer at Coachella blew my mind.

EF: Any advice for girls who want to start recording their style?
LBB: Don’t try to be like anyone else and have fun with it.

EF: Where did you grow up?
LBB: Orange County
EF: What Items are you craving from Electric Frenchie?
LBB: I love the coverups by Somedays Lovin’ and Kas New York. I also like the embroidered colorful purses.
