How did you come up with your website’s name? Did you consider any other options?
The evening I decided to create a blog I went through my mind with tens of different names. I really wanted to include word fashion and somehow I came up with this simple but effective phrase fashion addicted. I checked hosting availability and voulia, Fashion Addicted has been born.
What inspired you to become a blogger?
I started my fashion career as a model and even I loved fashion world a lot, modelling just wasn’t for me. So I slowly moved from a catwalk to blogging. I couldn’t be happier what I do now.
What does your daily blogging routine look like?
I wake up at 6.30-7am and spend time with my baby. Around 11am he goes for a nap and then my work starts. I make myself a cup of coffee and start to reply emails, do flatlay shots for Instagram and any work I have to do that day. The rest of the day is again with my baby, I try to reply some emails in between playing with him. After 7pm I put my baby to bed and my work begins again. I edit pictures, write articles and plan my next day tasks. This is how busy mum’s and blogger’s life looks.
What’s your proudest lifetime achievement?
It’s hard to say but I am really proud that I collaborated with such strong brands like Karl Lagerfeld, Fabryan, ect. I am also proud to be nominated at Cosmopiltan Influencers Awards.

Luckily I haven’t received any negativity via social media and I hope I won’t. I just think that some negativity comes from other bloggers. Sometimes it feels like bloggers are fighting with each other, that they are jealous of something and smile might hide the negativity towards you.
How do you manage a work/life balance?
Since I gave a birth it’s been really tough to manage my personal life and work but I am trying my best and work every moment I can. During my baby’s naps, his night time sleep and whenever I have a chance.
