Blog Love: Lovers In Vain

Self described “lover of nature and beauty” is Lovers in Vain creator, Liviana Ward. After the aspiring stylist found herself searching for a outlet to share her creative passion, Lovers In Vain was born. From Vogue to Real Living magazines, Lovers in Vain is drenched with stunning photography as Liviana draws on the inspiration to be surrounded by beautiful things in all aspects of life.

Can you describe your personal style? Do you have any fashion influences?

I don’t know if my personal style is influenced by others so much, I think it depends more on my mood and surroundings. I’d say it’s very relaxed and bohemian, I don’t like a lot of fuss so I tend to stick with the basics.I’m very big on accessories!

What was the inspiration behind starting your blog?

I come from a very creative family, so I’ve always been somewhat creative, I could just never find the right outlet. Then I found myself getting lost in blogs like knight cat and fashiontoast on a daily basis, and found that it was a great way to share and interact with so many aspiring and like minded people that I wouldn’t have ordinarily come into contact with.

I love the “Love Lists” that you have recently started on your blog, what is on your list right now?Any blogs?

Too many things! Right now I have a serious tumblr obsession, beautiful flower-filled gardens, bunnies, anything crochet, ethnic jewellery and I’m living for bright colours, whether it’s clothes, shoes, lipstick or cushions! The list [of blogs] grows daily, there are so many beautiful blogs out there. I don’t know if its my day dreaming of one day venturing to New York but I’m really loving New York bloggers; Where Did U Get That, Trop Rouge, The Little Black List and Natalie Off Duty. New York style has me completely mesmerized. They have such an awesome ‘anything goes’ attitude towards fashion. I love it!

What do you think the biggest trends of next season will be?

Lots of colour and bold prints, printed pants, boy-meets-girl, chunky knits, lace and big statement jewellery pieces.

There are so many fashion blogs out there, it’s hard to keep up! What advice would you give to someone trying to make a name for themselves in the blogosphere?

The only advice I would give is to stay true to you and what you love and don’t blog so much for others. I’ve gained so much through already through blogging that I am grateful for but I’ve made it a point to only ever blog for myself, it’s always been and always will be my own personal outlet. My favorite bloggers are those who aren’t afraid of being themselves and who bring something different to the table.

Thank god i will never have
to go thru formal dress shopping again , our experience started when my
daughter and i went to sassy boutique to buy a sherri hill dress , we
tried it on in a larger size but they had told me sherri hill date to
receive it will be later then her formal , so we thought we would try a
place called dollhouse in top Ryde , they seemed pleasant she tried on
the dress it was way to big for her but they said they can order the size for
her by the formal , so we went ahead and placed a deposit mind you they
were much cheaper then other places we had went to , anyway we were told
the dress will take 3 weeks i went back after a week and asked how is the
dress coming along , another girl had served us and told me the dress has
finished , finished or arrived!!! so i was surprised anyway payed the balance
and went home my daughter was so excited she tried it on and it closed but the
bust area was so big so i went to the alteration place also in top Ryde
and when i went there it was like he knew us , the guy told me ” what’s
wrong with it i just fixed it yesterday” , i said what!!! this is a
new dress i just bought he hesitated and then quoted me a ridiculous price
to fix it , so i went to another alteration place in Parramatter where
she had told me this dress had already been altered and the bust area it is
hard to fix , she fixed it as much as she can , but the bad thing about all
this is i could not take dollhouse to consumer affairs because for me to get my
discount , i accepted to buy it with no receipt and payed cash. So
what we were told she altered the dress we had tried in the store and
just made it smaller from the back zipper because the bust was fully beaded. I
hope no one goes thru this i really urge you don’t buy from there
Doll house are cheaters
