Should I become a Full Time Blogger?

There are a lot of well-known bloggers out there who make a million dollar a year, or even $$$ per one Instagram post. So, should I become one? We can, we all can become the professional blogger, but it is not easy. The fashion scene from the Instagram seems so wonderful and glamorous, but the reality is not a piece of cake like what we have seen online. It takes 1000% of dedication, consistency, followers, and potential. I am not gonna go through how to make money from being a fashion blogger in this post. Instead, based on my experience, there are a few necessary things to consider before quitting a job in order to become the full-time blogger. 

How To Choose the Right Shoes

Some may notice that I rarely put the high-heel on, though it is the BFF for women. With  

the 4 years of The Equinox Fashion, there are only a few posts, which I spiced up the street style outfits with the heels. Why? Because my feet were damaged by an inappropriate pair of shoes, that created not only blisters, but pain that I couldn't bare. What can I say? It is a blogger's life (lol) I spend almost half and hour to do the photo shoot for my blog. Sometimes, I have to walk quite a lot until I can find the right spot with less people. I guess some of you might feel the same when we cannot find the peace of mind, when we have to scout the location, while the shoes are being a bitch. I have both good and bad relationships with the online retailers, in terms of the shoe's quality. Based on my experience, here is how to select the right (fit) shoes for your happiness soul. 

How To Brand Yourself as a Blogger Part I

Branding is not just for the brands. Some people have an idea towards the word 'branding' as only for the fashion labels, or products. In fact, we can even branding ourselves. As a blogger, it has become one of the marketing strategies nowadays. Brands are not only investing money on the commercials, or online communication platforms, but using bloggers for the product placement is also the effective solution. Can we brand our blogs? The answer is 'YES' 

How to Improve Blog Content

Have you ever stuck when thinking about the content of your blog? I HAVE! Normally, I plan the contents in each month, but sometimes creating an interesting topic can be struggling. It is easy to talk about the #ootd, what to wear, how to style the items, and fashion trend. However, developing the sharable content is good for the Google ranking! As long as I have been keeping up with Google, as well as, its SEO strategies for bloggers, coming up with the content that readers are looking for can result in greater ranking feedback for our blogs too. How? Here are the three tips how to improve the blog content based on my experience. 

How To Protect Yourself on Social Media

I am not an expert in an online security, but I do aware of its danger, especially for a blogger like us who are in the need of using a social platform such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, etc. It is not our problem to deal with this issue because obviously we have done nothing to harass others, or involved in risky activities. Yet, 'you will never know' what others are thinking. Behind, the online world is another story. Social media can be real, or fake, we know the purposes of using it, but we don't know what is the reason behind other accounts. I have heard cases when bloggers got hacked by someone they didn't not even know. It sounds like nobody's business, but it is still important to protect our privacy online too. Here are 6 methods I have been applied to my own social media. 

Body Con White Cape Dress

There are two reasons why I have decided to have a body con white cape dress in my wardrobe. 1) It can be worn for many occasions. 2) It is easy to pair with either black accessories, or a pop of colors like pastel or neon. Though, they say 'white is the new black', black is such a classic and fierce color (Yes! I am talking about all black, monochrome street style inspo look). Such powerful palette has been The Equinox Fashion's signature color for years, as it can be seen that I have worn nothing else. However, having a pure divine white dress can also save our lives in many situations, especially a formal occasion. Though, I do not really have a lot of white selections, this luxe piece can be repeatedly worn without a doubt. 

Can We Save Money from Online Shopping?

Christmas is coming up, and of course, it is the season when retailers make the most money out of it! I love going shopping between November to December because I can purchase my favourite products on sales. However, sometimes, I also buy the products online since I do not want to go where everyone goes. So, the question is 'can we save money from Christmas shopping?' And my answer is YES!

Pros & Cons of Online Shopping

I assume that most of us have had the online shopping experience, it can be both satisfying and dissatisfaction in several ways. Based on my experience, I do not really pay attention on the online retailers that much since I love trying the products on at the stores, however, I have also tried purchasing the products from a wide variety online pure play retailers including Missguided, Boohoo, Ebay, e.t.c. in order to measure many factors such as delivery services, payment methods, and quality of the materials. Isn't it interesting how some consumers tend to be tempted to buy the goods online nowadays? Personally, there are a lot of advantages and disadvantages we have to be aware of. 

How to Pose like a Blogger

Have you every thought about how to pose in front of the camera? Should I smile, or should I act cool? There are so many reasons why we don't really show our teeth due to the trend and photos we may come across on the Instagram. I have received so many questions regarding how to pose like a blogger, therefore, here is my personal trick.

Bonmarche

Thursday, July 9th, 2015, was the first time when I participated in Leeds blogger event hosted by Bonmarche at Lower Briggate, Leeds, United Kingdom. I am Manchester based fashion blogger, but I guess I could call myself Leeds blogger for that day. 

Summer Playsuit

I don't know if it's true, but one of my friends told me the Summer in Manchester only lasts for a few weeks, literally 2 to 3 weeks that you can actually feel the heat. I am not gonna lie, but I hate it because I need the weather of Bangkok, Thailand, my hometown. That's why I prefer to wear the playsuit because it is easy to be paired with almost anything. 

Blossom printed combined with the fusion of blue palettes have made this playsuit become The Equinox Fashion's bff recently. I would rather wear simple and relaxing outfit this Summer because I just love the fact that I don't have to spend too much time preparing my #OOTD. Don't get me wrong, I actually have fun styling the pieces altogether for the photo shoot or even just to go outside. However, I believe that most of us have been there, the moment of not giving a s*** about what to wear because we can't just be a***. Sorry for the language, but you'd better getting used to it since I always swear pretty much all the time lol. So, how to get in style if we don't want to wear too many pieces?

For me, I matched this floral playsuit from Ashanti Brazil with the fringe bag I purchased from H&M a year ago (I love the fringe trend and always will be). Also, I chose to boost up the look with my chunky boots gifted a while ago. They are not that comfy though, so I prefer not to wear them that much because I don't want to hurt my feet ever again. For accessories, I jazzed up this Summer look with my Hidden Treasure Ocean Blue tassel earrings, as well as, the sunglasses I got from Lespecs. How to perfect the look? Just add the leather jacket!

What about you guys? What's your fav items this Summer?

English Language

First of all, I am 100 % Thai ( mixed with Chinese and Indian blood) I am from Bangkok, Thailand but now being Manchester based fashion blogger in Manchester, United Kingdom. English is not my first language but I am not afraid to speak it out loud whether my grammar is shit sometimes. 

What Do I Learn from being a Fashion Blogger

It has been almost 4 years since I started writing The Equinox Fashion. The first year was the experiment period actually because I still had the full-time job (as a content writer for German e-commerce company based in Bangkok, Thailand), so I didn't really take it seriously compared to these two years when I really focus on it, and constantly improve my blog to become better and better. I always ask myself "what do I learn from being a fashion blogger?" To be honest, I think we all ask ourselves the same question what do we really gain from being fashion bloggers right? From Bangkok based to become Manchester fashion blogger, here is what I have learnt (so far).

Busiest Days of the Month

First of all, I would love to thank you all of you who have participated in my previous post about "Fashion Blogger is the New PR?" I am very appreciated and feel so grateful to have such amazing and friendly bloggers with me. 

After a week of relaxing and planning on work, now I am back to 100% working mode since I am surrounded by three assignments from university. Now, I truly believe when people say " I don't understand how those people can blog and study at the same time" Because I feel like killing myself at this rate lol Well, there always be the solution of how to manage everything even for those busiest days of the month. 

Even though, this is just a quick message, I still want to show up and update what's going on with my life since I don't want to disappear, especially I would love to take responsibility as full time fashion blogger. 

What you guys up to? Any special plans for Spring? Anyone's travelling to Bangkok, Thailand next month? Because I'm the one who's going ;)

Style Behinds The Equinox Fashion x Margo

Some people ask "What my signature style is?" While some may wonder if my street style is like an alternative music? A combination of masculine with a pop of colours madness? I guess I will let this post answer all of those questions then. In collaboration with Margo, Brazil based brand which sent their 2014 collection products to my door, The Equinox Fashion's outfit styling can't be any easier since this is "my signature style" 

There are several posts that you guys maybe able to recognize me as Thai street style blogger with monochrome look or sometimes with neon or vibrant palettes mixed, however, it is actually more than that. I pretty much feel comfortable with almost anything as long as it consists of pitch black items, but story behinds those outfits always expresses my mood/inspiration in each day. I am very down to earth and friendly person, yet I do have my own space which defines my boundary. It is not who I am but how the past has created me to be in this way because I have been through so many best and worst situations that I have to keep my guard up all the time. I trusted people easily and always ended up being used for their own benefits, and that's why I have become one of the most paradoxical people in this planet owing to my friendliness and independent attitude. I can say that I might be the person who smile instantly but also the one with don't give a *** mode because I'm here to live my life not to please anyone for satisfaction. I'm not here for fame or famous people to hang out with, I just want to do what I have to do and that's all. It may sound harsh but believe me I can be a trustworthy one even though I don't really talk or act that reachable. 

And why I always wear with black, studded jacket or anything similar? Because this is what I feel at ease with. I feel like myself without giving it a shot. I don't really wear in such sweet dress or any girly outfits since they make me feel insecure. I feel like being in pretty outfits sometimes puts me in my own weakness point. The word "pretty" has nothing to do with me but trembling and nervous feelings inside. Well, I don't know why I feel like that..Maybe it is because of my fear created in the past. I was being too kind for people I assume. Therefore, I have chosen to dress up like this which I can call it "my style" And I feel absolutely more confident in this way. "Rock Style" is how it describes me.

90s Vibe Street Style because I'm a 90s Kid

Backstreet Boys, Busted, Natalie Imbruglia, Tamagotchis (original version) Polly Pocket, Troll Dolls and Sky Dancer, all remind me of old time memories of my childhood (If you know what I'm talking about)

That's right I was born in 1989, a period of boy bands like Nsync, A1, Boyzone or a time to buy wide variety of polly pockets provided in many version included Disney's or little family one. I remembered convincing my mom to buy a cassette of Atomic Kittens for an upcoming birthday for myself though lol However, everything seems to change a lot these days. Technology and innovative development in nowadays are playing an important yet massive role in shifting the lifestyle of kids in a modern day. When I was really young, I went out camping with friends, compared to kids in 2014 who own Iphone and other gadgets. I bought my very first Motorola (Black&White screen) when I was like 13! So, no wonder why I didn't feel hesitate to buy this "90's Kid" tank-top from H&M at all because I just wanted something that represents the era of my youth. Especially, this can be a great pairing for The Equinox Fashion's street style. 

I matched this 90's kid fringe tank-top with high-waist pants and black fringe bag which purchased from H&M also.

My Kind of Blogger's Ordinary Lifestyle

Featured in Cheeze Magazine

My lifestyle (as a blogger for The Equinox Fashion) is really simple, I live by street fashion, music and the love of animals. Nothing is better than just staying home and watching movie all day, isn't it?

I have been working on collaborations, especially March was really a hectic month I must say because I had like 8 collaborations to accomplish, however, I can finally take a deep breath, sit on my chair and watch my favourite TV series. Who's a fan of Pretty Little Liars and Bates Motel? I'm really  a big fan of these two series including Girls and Walking Dead! 

So what's up with my life? 

1. First of all, I was featured in Thai magazine called "Cheeze Magazine" which I was quite surprised when one of the team members sent me a message in Facebook and said "Look! who's featured on here :) " I do look like a witch, but I'm still happy about it "Where's the brooooooom????" lol 

2. Happy lunch date with two of my favourite gals at Siam Paragon, Bangkok, Thailand. I was with Nun Visitsak, owner/designer from Nun Bangkok and another sweet blogger from Prettysickly or known as a vlogger from IDRESSMYSELF.

What a lovely conversation we had! 

3. I made to outfit plan with my favourite hologram skirt, and another bag sent from Paul's Boutique London. The full post with the bag will be published next week. Stay tuned!!

How can you cope with fashion in the heat ? x Nun Bangkok

Hat- street market

I love Summer and will always love this season, no matter how temperature can be insane sometimes. However, the weather here in Bangkok, Thailand seems to increase more and more and now I feel like melting in the daylight. I have loads of clothing choices to wear (it's an advantage of being in a country where there are three main seasons right :D) but I feel a little bit frustrated sometimes when it is too hot to wear some pieces I want to take a photo with. So what my solution is? "I'm just going with whatever I can pick in my wardrobes lol"

Have you ever prepared the outfit before going to bed, but ended up wearing something else in the morning? 

Yes, I have! Since it's too hot to get dressed when the expected cool breeze will never ever gonna happen here. Or when I wear tank-top or shorts, my skins are getting tan sooner that I have expected (If you want to get tan real quick, then come here) Especially, it's pretty risky with skin cancer under the UV and some other invisible rays from the sun too. Besides, I have had a problem with skin irritation lately since the heat reacts with my facial skin somehow, thus my face tends to be really red and dry around cheeks and chin areas. 

Beauty Bloggers, do you have any favourite sunscreen to recommend? My skin is pretty sensitive though, so I really don't know which one to purchase. 

Outfit: Actually I have to say a super big hug (again) to Nun Bangkok who sent this oversized and limited top top me because I don't want to wear anything else but big t-shirt and shorts. Also, thank you to Paul's boutique for this cool Jessy Black to me (The post is coming soon!)
