How did your blog start? I started it a year ago after a friend told me about blogging - I had no idea what it was! I then began using it like a journal, documenting some of the different shoots i was in and it grew from there.
What is the story behind your blog's title? There isn't really a story. I was sitting on the floor in my room and was asking my brother advice on what I should name my blog. I came up with Trop Rouge cause I thought it was fun - that's it!
Do you ever get stuck when writing an entry? Sometimes, but I usually just write whatever's on my mind. My main problem is that I have so many things I want to talk about - I usually have to stop myself!
Do you have any particular dressing philosophies? I always try to dress comfortably. I love to dance and goof around when I go out and you can't do that in mega high heels and tight clothes!
Best cheap score of late? I picked up this great inexpensive shawl from Forever 21. It's perfect for the fall.
What would you never be caught dead wearing? Uggs! No offence but I can't handle them!
What are your most-cherished accessories? My La Mer Collection watches and my vintage silver rings.
What's your go-to outfit when you've got five minutes to dress? Leather jacket, black pants, black wedge lace-ups and a black loose-fitting blouse. Yes, I love black!
