My Questions:

Why did you start blogging?

The reason that I started blogging can be summarized by this quote, “There will be a few times in your life when all your instincts will tell you to do something, something that defies logic, upsets your plans, and may seem crazy to others. When that happens, you do it. Listen to your instincts and ignore everything else. Ignore logic, ignore the odds, ignore the complications, and just go for it.” 

How did you pick your blog’s name?

The name, Recycled Roses, originates from my time as a dancer. After every performance, I was fortunate enough to receive beautiful bouquets of roses from family and friends. I remember being so eager to display my roses on the table so that I could admire their soft-spoken confidence and evident beauty. However, after days of admiration, their beauty faded and they began to wilt. On most occasions, I would sadly though them away but every once in a while I would find a once-in-a-lifetime rose. This rose, although delicate and fragile, possessed the same beauty as its luxurious counterpart. It was from this rose that the name, Recycled Roses was born. As demonstrated by this rose, beauty is timeless and can be found anywhere we seek it. My hope is that others are encouraged to discover such beauty.

What is your favorite store to shop at?

Do I have to pick just one? Haha! I love shopping at J Crew, Anthropologie, TJ Maxx, Marshalls, Saks Off Fifth, Nordstrom, H&M and Nordstrom Rack. I also love shopping at thrift and consignment stores as well. 

Besides blogging, how do you spend your free time?

When I am not at work or blogging, I enjoy learning about the Italian language and culture. I have a very strong connection to my Italian heritage and it has always been important for me to learn as much about it as I can. In addition to learning about my heritage, I love to travel and explore the world around me!

What are your favorite quote(s)?

“Be a girl with a mind. A woman with attitude. And a lady with class.”

“I’ve been called rebellious, wrong, a black sheep, different… Because I refuse to be what everyone else is. I stand by my beliefs.”

“Do your thing. Do it unapologetically. Don’t be discouraged by criticism. You probably already know what they’re going to say. Pay no mind to the fear of failure. It’s far more valuable than success. Take ownership, take chances, and have fun. And no matter what, don’t ever stop doing your thing.”

What is your Starbucks order?

In all honesty, I am not a big Starbucks girl. Sorry! (My heart belong to Dunkin’ Donuts.) If I were to order anything from Starbucks it would either be a Refresher, Iced Passion Tango Tea Lemonade, or a Chai Tea Latte. 

Where is your dream vacation?

My dream vacation would be to travel the world! There are so many places that I would love to see and eventually I would love to see them!

What is your favorite post that you have written?

My favorite post that I have written so far would be Defining Your Style. The reason that I love this post so much is because it provides a basis for which your entire wardrobe is built upon. By defining your style, you are confident in who you are as a person and your wardrobe reflects that.

What is your advice to others as a blogger?

My advice to fellow bloggers is to be patient, learn from your mistakes, and enjoy the process. We are all new to the world of blogging and success does not happen overnight. Don’t let your failures knock you down, instead, learn, grow, and keep moving forward in the directions of your dreams!
