How To Be The Best of You (on Social Media)

To motivate the girls out there is my favorite part of this blog. I, myself didn't have much confidence (in every aspect of life) But now I have changed. It has been a while to transform myself to become the 'new me' who enjoys living life through many good and bad circumstances. Being presence in the social media world has been a great fun, yet tiring. There are so many good things about it, but it also causes the negative feelings once in a while. Too many temptations to be like others, too many things to keep up in order to be in 'trend' like everyone else. However, it doesn't matter because we can absolutely be the best version of ourselves on the social media without following the rules. Tbh, it is the best feeling in the world. 

3 Useful Decisions that will Help Us Stay Motivated Throughout 2016

It is not about 'New Year, New Me' It is all about 'New Year, Same Person with a Different Determination' There's no point thinking about we should have done this/that in a previous year because 2016 has just begun, and we have the new 365 days to accomplish our goals. Though there were a lot of things happening in my (Manchester based) fashion blogging career such as working alongside with Adidas Neo, attending DvF fashion show, etc, it has to be continued and improved. When we really want something to happen, we just can't stop working on it, can we? We have to keep it going in order to pursue our dreams. Though it is not that easy to get what we want, here are three useful and practical decisions that will help us stay motivated throughout this new year. 

My Very First Blog Post Back in 2011

Looking back in October, 2011, the time when I have decided to name my blog as The Equinox Fashion. Some people may delete their old blog posts because of whatever reasons, however, I just want to keep them in order to remind myself how far I have become whenever I feel down from the blogging industry. My very first blog post back in 2011 was obviously about the criticism about the fashion industry. Yep, first start with the harsh words, still it has become my personality in blogging, which 90% of my content consist of my personal opinion towards the society and fashion trend, also the motivation based on my experience. It can be seen that the fashion content is only accounted for 10%. 

Music Is My Inspiration

I still remember the day I listened to Back Street Boys and RHCP when I was about 9 years old. 90s childhood of mine was well-spent by fusing the culture of films and music. Therefore, no wonder why I grow up with the music in my head. 

Likewise, I don't have any trends or style icons when it comes to "fashion" since all I have gotten is from "music" Truthfully, I play the music since the moment I wake up, take a shower, cook, get on the bus etc. My heart is beating with the tunes I listen, and I love it like that. I don't care about being stylish or trendy because what I really want is to let my outfit speaks by itself. What I mean by speak? It means to illustrate who I am, what kind of characteristic I have, as well as, the mood of that day. 

Music brightens up my life, and it helps me get through with so many circumstances no matter when I'm happy or discouraged. It does really help me tbh. However, I don't listen to pop music that much since it is too mainstream for me. I don't mind if my friends want to play such tunes in the car or even at the party because we just want to have some fun, isn't it? But the playlists in my phone are something which called "electronica, rock, alternative" kinds of music. These music motivate me all the time. Call me crazy, but I have come this far in this blogger industry because of what I have been listening.

Road of "The Equinox Fashion"

Featured in MYTRND.com

Some people might have a negative attitude towards bloggers that this KIND OF JOB is ridiculous, why girls do that for? Why they have to dress and post on blog? And so what???

Despite the fact that some think that fashion blogger is just a hobby or something fun, for me it is my "passion"

I have been a founder, as well as fashion editor for The Equinox Fashion blog for about two years already and I can see lots of opportunity to grow in the future. People ask me a broad range of questions HOW I am going to make it but because of "trust" which makes me sitting here and sharing my road of success to you guys. Believe me nothing comes very easily yet you can do it if you put much effort in it.

I have started my blog when I was 22 years old, yes two years ago when I just resigned from being a content writer for German e-commerce company. However, I still had no idea what to do after, so I had decided to apply for being a freelance writer for online fashion magazine called "Fashion Studio Magazine" and yes I got the job. I had been a fashion assistance for magazine's founder for three months until I quited again (yes again) Just think about it 22 years old girl with a few working experience in fashion industry "What am I going to do with my life.." That's what I had asked myself for a while. Then I founded out about blogging stuff. I just surfed through the online sphere how people start or make it success with their blogs. So I have made up my mind to create my blog named as "The Equinox Fashion"

At first, I really had no clue what to do with blog, what to post, how to reach people and how to start!? Everything takes time and so do I. I remember posting about Kurt Cobain and fashion identity at the very first post then about circus inspiration fashion and etc. I wasn't that confident to post my own style or outfit of the day since I thought I wasn't pretty enough. However, I gave it a try by posting the look with my favourite street fashion item and it's started to reach people more than those posts with fashion runway or season trend. Hence, I have been sharing my street style looks and clinging to that all of the time. 

But how can I have the collaborations with brands and press? I've initiated by calling those brands myself. The reason why I called them because I wanted to do a store review and that's it. I'd done the review brands by brands, also updated my outfit of the day posts and Lookbook.nu at the same time. Just keep doing that to reach more traffic and get to know other people too. Reading every comment, replying back as much as i can since I feel grateful that they visit my blog, so I need to make some interactions not just leave those comments to be just a comment (if you know what i mean) My life's totally changed on September since I decided to send a resume to participate in London Fashion Week 2013 in London, and I was accepted so what I was waiting for!? "When the opportunity is right in front of you, just take it and take it now!" During my time in London, I also tried to reach more brands including local and international designers. And the more you do, the more you can make it. Therefore, I have received good feedback from them together with 8 brands collaborations in only two months.

 It's not easy but it's not that hard to take it seriously too. Just remember to have your own "voice" and don't let the brands or people consume you. You need to be yourself, that's how you make the blog successful.

Hope it can be some sort of inspiration to you guys :)
