I cannot believe it's already September 1st. I really can't. This summer went by way too quickly!! Luckily, I have an interview with an adorable blogger to help ease the transition into September. Meet Sarah from The Petite Pixie! She's cute as a button (and a fellow actress!), and I guarantee you will fall head over heels for her sweet sense of style.
Name: Sarah A. Garcia
Age: Freshly 20!
Where do you blog? I blog over at The Petite Pixie! It's a personal style blog I started a year ago in efforts to reinvent myself and find somewhere I can share my love of dressing up and be unapologetically me! I also run Elle Fanning Style, a blog dedicated to finding and sharing pieces from actress Elle Fanning's wardrobe.
What are you studying in school? I am currently studying Acting at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco.
What's your dream job? The goal is to become a movie and/or television star, but I would be just as happy making YouTube videos or being in community theatre for the rest of my life, as long as I'm acting!
How did you get into blogging? Many years ago in high school, I read blogs constantly and thought about how much fun it would be to start one. After some trial and error over the span of a few years, I finally found an identity that suits me and that got me excited for what the future of blogging might hold!
What are some other blogs that you love? Oh gosh, too many! The Soubrette Brunette (obviously!), Scathingly Brilliant (which was the first blog I discovered that made me want to start blogging), Mermaidens, A Beautiful Mess, Briar Rose, Paige Joanna, The Clothes Horse... just to name a few!
Your favorite musical artist: I've worshiped Stevie Nicks since I was a kid, and that hasn't stopped to this day.
Your favorite musical: I know it's super cliché, but Les Misérables was the most beautiful thing I've had the privilege to see on stage thus far.
Your favorite movie? Once, but I haven't seen the musical version yet! That may replace Les Mis soon. [Sammi's note: Such a good choice!!!]
Which actress would play you in the movie version of your life? Either Carey Mulligan or Emma Stone, as I've been compared to them quite often.
One character from a movie or TV series with whom you identify: Lily from How I Met Your Mother. We are literally the same person.
Do you have a celebrity crush? Nate Ruess, the lead singer of Fun.! My friends and even my boyfriend know him as "my husband," and the second time I saw him in concert, he smiled at me, so you know our love is real.
Your favorite guilty pleasure? Lately I'm kind of a little too obsessed with "Say Yes to the Dress."
Favorite book (from childhood or now): My favorite book for years has been Running with Scissors but I've probably forgotten most of it by now! The most recent book that I've read that was good enough to be deemed one of my favorites is (another cliché) The Fault in Our Stars.
Drink of choice: I'm so boring, but water. It's a magical potion, I tell you!
Favorite food in the world? Macaroni and cheese, hands down. Any kind, anywhere.
What's your favorite season and why? I absolutely love autumn. I've never lived where the leaves change color or anything like that, but I love the feeling of the school year starting and the holidays fast-approaching and the cool air. It gives me the warm fuzzies inside!
How would you describe your personal style? On most days, very feminine and girly, with influence from the 1950s and 1960s, but sometimes I like to experiment with different styles as well.
What's been your favorite post from your blog so far? My favorite post would have to be Pixie Day! Not only does it match the current layout of my blog (I am sort of a matching freak!), but it was so fun to be a pixie for a day. That was kind of the true start to the blog, as well.
Do you have a style icon? If so, who? Oh, I have so many! The first two that come to mind are Zooey Deschanel and Elle Fanning, even though she's so much younger than I! Those two definitely inspired and shaped me to have the personal style I do today.
If you could live during any other time period, what would it be? Entirely from a style point of view, the 1950s. I love the 50's housewife look, but I'm not a fan of the whole not-having-rights part of it!
Your favorite place to shop or favorite clothing brand: I'm a sucker for a good deal, so thrift stores and cheaper brands like Forever 21 and H&M, but when my pockets are feeling a bit fuller, I venture to American Apparel and Topshop.
Go-to accessory? The pink pearl-banded watch that my boyfriend made me! It's so perfect in every single way.
What's the most beloved article of clothing you own? My grandmother's leather and fur coat from the 1960s that she gave me! I haven't worn it yet because I cherish it so much!
If you could wear only one outfit every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? It would have to be an A-line dress, belted at the waist, with a cardigan and a pair of comfortable flats. It is really fit for any occasion and is still incredibly "me!"
