Interview Beth Jones: Stylist and Fashion Editor
♥Why did you first start blogging?
♥Why did you first start blogging?
And what's continuously inspired you todo so?
I first started blogging with the idea of opening my own vintage shop here in California. I felt it was a good way to get my ideas and inspirationsout there. I started in the beginning of 2007, when fashion blogging had just started to surface and so my original blog "The Vintage Society" grewquickly. After a year of looking into opening a shop, I realized I didn't want to pursue that venture anymore and found many other opportunitiesknocking at my door.
After many adventures, I have started my own company B. Jones Style which encompasses styling, writing and a few other projects - so I left behind "The Vintage Society" and launched the B. Jones Style blog to come from the prospective of stylist and editor.
I love writing and coming up with new things for the blog, I am inspired by all the readers and hearing from readers that they enjoy the content orthat I have given them new ideas for themselves. It is like I have my own little magazine that I get to write everyday. I love it!
♥How long have you been blogging?
I have been blogging since January 2007.. so 3.5 years!
♥What's the funniest/saddest or "Huh?!"

♥What's the funniest/saddest or "Huh?!"
thing you ever read on a blog?
Maybe some Huh? moments have been some of cruel comments people leave on a blog. It saddens me that people would attack each other just because they are "anonymous" on the internet.

♥What's been or was your favorite post ?
I have really enjoyed my new feature on B. Jones Style "Postcards, Passports & Panache". I noticed that many magazines have a few articles onsummer travels and what to wear if you are going to the beach, city or country - this is my spin on that idea. I have a ton of travels thissummer to every type of location and thought it would be fun to create a whole log of what I wore where - to inspire other to let there destinationbe an exciting place to come up with new looks. Each location I create a new inspiration page that sets the tone of my look and then document what I wear from the first day to the last.

♥What's your favorite subject to write about? Why?
I love to write about the art of dressing up.. I want to get back to the women of every other era before the 1990's. Women used to dress to a "T"everywhere they went.. and I want to get back to that. To embrace being a woman and enhancing that by wearing beautiful things - even if it is justjeans and a tee - it is style up to perfection.. gussied up and glamorous.

♥Who's your style icon? Why?
I am inspired by many icons.. but right now I love Catherine Baba - talk about a woman who dresses up and follows no rules. I love how glamorously she approaches each day. Crazy brilliant!
♥What do you always hope people gleam from after their visit?
I hope people feel inspired to dress it up themselves. To get outside of the box they have put themselves in and try new things - being the mostdressed up girl at the party and loving it..or accessorizing without taking off one piece before she leaves home.. or inspired to have fun withfashion and not take things so seriously.
♥What are your favorite blogs?
My friend, partner in fashion crime and crazy good photographer Laurel Dailey has a beautiful blog - http://floatfasthummingbird.blogspot.com/ I love Jak & Jil for fashion show street style Kelly from The Glamourai is always inspiring and creates the most beautiful jewelry.
Finish this sentence : I am.......
always buzzing with ideas.. sometimes to the point of crazy. I drive myself insane with one idea after another .. to the point that I takesomething to help me sleep.. but don't worry it's an herbal supplement!
