Your style (in couple of words):

 I tend to be a moody dresser; it can go from rocker to super girly in a day. My constant is that I love color :) 

How long have you been blogging?

A year and seven months  :D

What was the reason that you've started blogging? 

Before I started blogging, I had been reading blogs for about 2 years then one day my favorite blog was going through a system error and I was going through withdrawal... so I thought, "hey, I should make one". So I made Alien's Labyrinth then later changed it to Nouchaline. 

What was your biggest challenge and how did you overcome it?

Figuring out my blogging style and "voice". At the beginning, I didn't do personal style because I wasn't comfortable with it so I would only post about shoes/bags/dresses I liked. But then I got feedback and encouragement and I decided to give it a try. I still haven't figured out my exact style but I'm getting there :)

What do you like about blogging?

It's an expression platform. I get to share my thoughts, inspiration, style, love and hates with others. You get to interact with people from all over the world that you normally wouldn't have had the opportunity to meet.
Blogging has given me several opportunities to attend events and meet interesting people. A couple of months ago I even wrote for FashionBeirut.com 

What would you like to change about your blog?

Like I said, one of my favorite things is interaction with my readers... so if I could change something about my blog it would be more interaction with my readers.  All bloggers love comments :P 

Any future plans for your blog? 

Keep doing what I'm doing, and hopefully figure out an exact blogging style and comfortable with which will also help me achieve my blogging "goal" (more interaction).

Who inspires you (blog)? 

Bloggers like Amber from Shoeperwoman (reason I started my blog), Charles from Charles B. Goode, Krizia from Shark Attack. Also different things that happen in my life or that I see somewhere... 

Fashion Icon:  I don't really have a fashion icon but I do like Lauren Conrad's and Olivia Palermo 's style, also I love how Dita Von Teese is always put together! (Have you seen photos of her at the GYM? yeah..: P)

Favorite clothing item:  Shoes are my favorite, I have about 50 pairs. But my favorite ones are my green peep toes. I bought them as a present to myself for graduating highschool back in 2008. 

Favorite brand: Emilio Pucci, Balenciaga, Balmain, Channel, Christian Louboutin and Alexander McQueen.

Favorite Celebrity: Katy Perry because she's just so much fun!

What would be your dream job: Somewhere in between the business and fashion world. Fashion marketing/PR.

Where do you dream to live: New York City!

Hobbies: Shopping, swimming, reading, driving and sketching.

Any beauty/fashion tip? 

When wearing heels, always have a back up pair of flats in your bag! 

Any advice for someone who aspire to be a blogger like you? 

That would be so sweet! I'll go with have fun with blogging.

Tell us something particular of you. 

I love musicals and think gingers are hot :)
