It&#8217;s a creative space, which has evolved with me since I started blogging three years ago.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What makes your blog different?<\/strong><br \/>My blog has a fun mix of everything! I only share what I believe in.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s your favourite blog and why?<\/strong><br \/>I have so many favourites, but I love <a href=\"http:\/\/bleubirdblog.com\/\" title=\"Bleubird\" target=\"_blank\">Bleubird Blog<\/a>. Everything from her gorgeous family to her personal style, she&#8217;s a very inspiring woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What advice would you give to someone who wants to start a blog?<\/strong><br \/>Just go for it! Start with a nice clean layout and invest in a decent camera. Layout and photos are the first things most people notice about a blog!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>How does a good marketer work with you?<\/strong><br \/>I like and respond those who take the time to explain why they have chosen to get in touch with me. I really appreciate it when someone has read some of my blog posts as it shows they&#8217;re genuinely interested in working with me and haven&#8217;t just copied and pasted the e-mail and simply changed the name at the top!!\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>And what do they do that&#8217;s bad?<\/strong><br \/>Occasionally\u00a0a bad PR will send over a bunch of information telling me to share it on my blog. No intro, just can you share this? I never respond to them as they only want something from you, not to work with you.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>What was your blogging highlight of 2013?<\/strong><br \/>I had a lot, but I highly enjoyed attending the Pinterest event in London and working with some brilliant brands.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What will be big in your blogosphere in 2014?<\/strong><br \/>Delving into video content!\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An interview with Stephanie Withers, author of the fashion and lifestyle blog\u00a0Influence. \u00a0Stephanie spoke to us about blogging about only what she believes in, the marketers she won&#8217;t work with, and her plans to introduce &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":322,"featured_media":61547,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[248,3722,3730,4038,4209,5159,5336,5653,5741],"tags":[357,463,665,1078,3591,4254,6129,104],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61544"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/322"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=61544"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/61544\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=61544"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=61544"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.vuelio.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=61544"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
