"I wanted a place where I could stay connected to fashion &
stay sane so to speak. Just a little escape from reality... "
I think that it's safe to say it's not just about being good at something, what ever that may be, but it's more about having a different filter on life that people can relate to, in this case fashion. Recently, I came across Pittsburgh fashion blogger Stacey Belko's blog devorelebeaumonstre, it was a breathe of fresh air apart from the usual flow of bloggers doing that same sassy slouch routine. I like to think that the best blogs to come across are the one's that aren't brewed up in New York City, there's just something more to them. And so obviously it's no wonder that Stacey's blog is so rad, she's super witty, wears sweet beanies and not to mention a gnarly sense of style all the way from Pittsburgh...

The Basics:

Occupation:Blogger
·
Age:24
·
Hometown: Pittsburgh, PA
·
Years you have been blogging: 2 years
·
How would you describe your style in three words?
This is always the hardest
question. I think it’s just eclectic.
·
What does a day as Stacey Belko consist of?
Wake up, IV coffee into my veins, lay around with my cat, go out
& brunch or lunch, emails, emails, more emails, IV whiskey into my veins,
come home & have drunk Britney Spears dance parties in my kitchen, lay
around with my cat, go to bed. It’s really exciting. But really, that’s not
every day. Every day is a variation of those things, plus other things added
in, & other things taken out. Just a whole lot of things.

Blog Talk
·
How did devorelebeaumonstre come to be, what was the
inspiration behind it, and what are you all about?
I had just graduated college with a
Bachelor’s Degree in Fashion Marketing & some really shitty shit was going
on in real life. I wanted a place where I could stay connected to fashion &
stay sane so to speak. Just a little escape from reality & thus my little
blog was born. As far as what I’m all about? Well, I really like cats &
burritos. Potato chips too.
·
What is the absolute best thing about being a
blogger?
Getting to meet a lot of sweet
people.
·
What is something that your readers don’t know about
you?
I hate pickles. They freak me out.
·
Aside from blogging what are your passions?
Fashion. I absolutely love fashion.
·
Do you have any advice for aspiring fashion
bloggers?
Just be yourself & do it
because you want to. I get so many emails from people asking how to get free
shit, or more followers, or paid sponsorships from companies. I think if that’s
the only reason you want to get into blogging then you should quit while you’re
ahead. Just do it for you & be yourself. & if the other stuff comes
along well then that’s just a plus.

Five years from now you want to…
Be living in NYC.
