How do I convert Australian and U.K. sizes to U.S. Sizes?
The best thing to do is to take your measurements accurately and then compare them to the size chart of the retailer you are looking to purchase from. In addition conversions are available on some size charts. If you are fairly comfortable with ordering online and know what fabrics fit your body well use the conversions and order your usual US size. Keep in mind that there are different conversions for different retailers.
How much is shipping overseas?
It depends on the retailer. Many retailers like Evans offer flat rate shipping however, return shipping may not be as cheap so, be sure to order your correct size. Also, some retailers like Asos offer free shipping and returns; places like these are great if you're new to overseas shopping.
What stores do you shop at? Which ones are UK, which ones are U.S. ?
There is a list of shops located in the sidebar. All shops have the country where they are located on the website.
Can you pick out specific clothing items or style me for any specific season?
I do offer styling services for a fee. Feel free to email me at fatshopaholic@gmail.com to discuss rates. You can also check out my styling portfolio here.
Do you moderate your comments?
Mildly. Comments that express criticism will not be deleted. For example, if you express that you do not like a outfit, collection, designer I have posted, or anything similar through a comment those will not be deleted. However, if you are simply being malicious without cause, leaving spam, or making accusations your comment will be deleted.
What size are you?
I wear anything from a size 24 to 32.
What kind of camera do you use?
Nikon D3000 and a Nikon D3100. "Polaroids" are taken with a Fugifilm Instax 210.
What's the key to having a good blog?
There really is no right answer to this question because there is no right way to blog. I model my blog after my favorite blogs which have user friendly layouts, quality photos, a author with a unique sense of style and above all great content. Also, blog about and wear what you like; don't post things or buy things because everyone else is. I feel like a blog is it's best when you can feel the passion and genuineness of the author.
How do I get followers for my blog?
When I started my blog I would comment on my favorite blogs and leave my blog url in the comment, but after that it was just word of mouth. Being active on social media like twitter, tumblr, and facebook can help as well. Also, adding your photos to flickr pools, on lookbook.nu, and submitting to fashion tumblrs can bring people to your blog. Remember to be active part of the blogging community by befriending other bloggers, etc. You never know who's help you'll need. Overall no matter how much promotion you do content is what keeps people coming back and sharing your blog with others.
