FAQs


How should I go about pursuing a career ?
Get as much experience as you can; whether it involves working in retail, landing an internship at a magazine, or even writing (and maintaining) your own blog. Work hard, research things incessantly, be persistent, and find out answers on your own. BE RESOURCEFUL! Knowing that you want to work in fashion OR  for yourself  is a start, but try to narrow your focus so that you have a better idea of which jobs to pursue and why you’re the perfect candidate. The more knowledge and experience you bring to the table, the more likely you are to get hired.
What’s your policy on working with brands?
I’m extremely selective about the brands I work with and only partner with companies that are a natural fit for AriakaAutry.com The same goes for accepting products (I decline about 95% of the offers that come my way), as I only showcase things on my site that I truly love and would normally buy on my own. In the case that something has been given to me, I always include that it’s courtesy of that brand (c/o).
I want to start a blog.  Any tips?
Write often.  Provide compelling content and high quality photographs.  Make sure your site is clean and easy to read.  Find other blogs that you admire and take note of what it is you like about their sites.  The most important piece of advice is to write about things that bring you joy and that you’re truly passionate about!
I just started a blog.  Can you check it out and give me advice on how to improve it?
While I’d love to be able to help people with their specific sites, unfortunately I don’t have the time to do so. However, just like you, I too enjoy reading blogs so occasionally I read random blogs anyway.
Where did you get the piece of clothing you’re wearing in your outfit post?
I provide all of the information about the things that I wear under the first photograph of each outfit post. I also include a tag where you can buy those items. I try really hard to show things that are all $25 or less. At times a shoe or bag may slip in that is of course more :)
How do you make a living writing your blog?
I make a living by for www.HollywoodWeaves.com  . I am the director of operations there and I work with a team of people. I never started my blog as a way to make money but as a creative outlet.
Which flea markets do you go to?
All of them :) Yard sales too.
How did you build a following on your blog?
There’s no exact formula for garnering an audience, but I write frequently, provide original content, and truly love everything that I include on my blog. People will follow your blog based on their personal interest in what you are writing and personal interest in you as a blogger. I try to stay relatable.
