If you had to perform at the circus, what trick would you do?
Oh, I would love to be a trapeze artist. It would be like flying. But it might be a bit tricky since I have a fear of heights and tend to get vertigo.
Can I ask why you dont get a full time paying job? I think most girls would love to just blog about fashion all day and sell things online. Dont you want to help Cole and create the best fuure for you both? I hope this doesnt sounds rude, im just curious!
Ha, my first thought was "geesh, that's rude," but I can understand your curiosity and you're definitely not the first person to ask that question, nor will you be the last. To make a long story short...to each his/her own. It's what works best for us. It was essentially a choice between more money or more happiness. We chose happiness.
Sorry this is a strange question, but how tall are you? You are just so beautiful.
Aww, you're making me blush. Thank you. Well, I just went to the doctors and they measured me and said I was 5'5" which is really cool since I grew half an inch! Didn't think I could grow at my age. ;)
I'm sorry if this is too personal but would you and Cole like to have children someday?
No worries. Yes, we really (Really) would. Sadly lots of things have gotten in our way, but we haven't given up hope for the future. And if biological children are or aren't in the cards, we want to adopt.
If you could have a tree that could grow anything (not money) what would you want to grow off of it?
I want fruit bearing trees, especially cherry and lemon!! Growing up in Michigan, where cherries are a staple in the summer, I crave them all the time. It was really hard when I was living out East and had to pay a fortune for a small bag of cherries. I also want a lemon tree so I can have lemons in my water everyday and bake lemon bars on the weekend.
ur blog is amazing!
Thank you so much!! xoxo
This might seem like a weird question but I'm trying to figure out what to do... do you back up your pictures, like if your computer crashes do you have something so you don't lose all of your photos?
I'm the worst at this!! I never back up my computer and yet always worry that it will crash and all will be lost!! You could use dropbox.com!! I do have a few things that are really important in there.
What are your top three favorite books?
This is so hard. It's like asking which of my dogs I love most. I will instead give you three books that I re-read all the time: Dead to the World, The Secret of Chimneys, and Pride and Prejudice.
If you could change your name, what would you change it to?
Probably Elinor or Alice, which are my grandmothers' names. I really love classic, old fashioned names.
Have you ever blogged and worked full-time, at the same time? Any tips on how to keep workwear fresh and individual and incorporate vintage?
I have not and couldn't imagine the kind of time and effort that would go into doing both on a full time basis- I'm really just not that great at multi-tasking.
I think it depends a lot on the office or work environment, but I'll tell you what I did for twelve years with my school uniform...I made my shoes and accessories the stand out pieces that really showed my personality without breaking the rules!
I have seen that you said you had 2 etsy shops....you have the one here on your blog the O Captain what is the other?
My other shop is here (http://www.etsy.com/shop/MariaConfer) and mostly featured my custom drawings and hair bows. I'm eventually going to close it.
i love peep toe heels, but my feet always slide forward, get scrunched and my toes start to hang out the front! i have tried something called "foot petals" or something like that, but it didn't fix it for me. i was wondering if you had any tricks to share?
Oh, I wish I did. I have the same problem. Peep toes are very tricky for me so I don't buy them very often, but I love them to bits.
dear maria, i have naturally wavy hair like you. (Unfortunately it's not as lovely as yours. I love your hair) And i am thinking about getting bangs. So I was wondering, how do you style your bangs? a big brush and hairspray, flat iron?
Thank you. I know how tricky wavy hair can be. I recommend using a paddle brush and mini flat iron. That's what works best for me and I have crazy cowlicks in my bangs.
What does marriage mean to you?
Love, laughter, compromise, strength, happiness, flexibility, determination, intimacy, fun, struggles, work, and the future.
You have such a wonderfully distinct style. What advice would you give your readers to help them develop their own?
Thank you! My advice is- be true to yourself. Don't try every trend out there, but also don't be afraid to test the waters. For me, fashion is a lot of trial and error, sometimes you make mistakes, they're not monumental, but sometimes you find something that really works. Most importantly- Have Fun!
