The Zae List Interview
Hello loves, hope your week is going well. I hope you guys are loving these interviews as much as i'm loving doing them! This weekend I got the pleasure to interview Zaida from The Zae List. I have been following her on instagram for a couple of months and I absolutely love her style, so I asked for an interview and here it is:
About you
Give
a quick intro of yourself
My
name is Zaida Marie Sanchez. I am 27 years old. I reside in Williamsburg,
Brooklyn. My ethnicity is Puerto Rican. I'm am a single mother of a 3.5 yr old boy.
I am currently interning at Factory PR and looking to freelance as a
social media manager.
Fashion/style Questions
What makes you
“different”?
I
guess what I feel makes me different is my perspective on blogging. I kind of
resent the word "fashionista", I feel it waters down the creativity
of being a style blogger.
Who is your favorite
designer or brand?
I always have a tough time answering this
question because I feel like I appreciate every designer. Even if it's a
style I don't necessarily feel compliments me. If I HAD to choose right now I
think it would be Balmain. I love the rugged yet feminine silhouettes. I also love
the choice of colors that are used through the collections. Always on point.
Who is your biggest
fashion inspiration?
Christine
Centenera. She's the epitome of street style. Still super classic. Love her.
What piece in your closet
could you not live without?
Hands
down. Leather jacket. I rock it year round.
What would you say your
fashion philosophy is? (what fashion means to you)
Personally
I feel it's about identifying with your idea of what style is. However you
decide to showcase your individuality - own it.
Describe your style with
two words
Edgy,
grundgy
What is your number one
fashion advice?
Never
rule anything out until you have tried it on (multiple times) and played around
with different fabrics and cuts. I've sold myself short so many time because I
felt something "wouldn't look good" on me or I was "too
chesty" or whatever. TRY EVERYTHING ON!
What do you think is the
most important thing in ones appearance for example; shoes, hair, clothes,
handbag, attitude, etc.
Attitude.
If you're sweet and bubbly be sweet and bubbly. If you're an asshole. Well be
an asshole, just don't be disrespectful. Don't try to fit a mold. Seriously, we
have one life to live. Stay true to yourself and own your personality. Nourish
relationships- everyone needs someone. These are tips you can take into any
field. Don't believe the hype that you have to be "bitchy" in the
fashion field. Stern? Yes. Assertive? Absolutely. But don't be a bitch.
Life questions
Dream job?
To
produce a runway show or a clothing line. I think.
Dream vacation?
Europe.
Everywhere in Europe.
Where is your ideal place
to live if you could only choose one place to live for the rest of your life?
Honestly.
No idea. I really need to start traveling more so that I can figure that out.
If money wasn’t a problem
what would you do for a job?
I
would always want to be in the Fashion field at some capacity. But ultimately,
if money weren't an object I would love to travel the world and help the less
fortunate.
What could you not live
without?
Hmmmmm.
Jesus. My son. My Fam & Friends. Leather jacket. My shoes. Books. Music.
Ketchup!
Favorite song right
now?
Tove
Lo: Habits (Stay High)
Favorite artist?
DRAKE,
Florence & the Machine, Lana del Rey, The Xx, lorde, Kendrick Lamar, and Beyoncé.
Favorite quote?
The
ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and
convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
If you could change one
thing in the world, what would you change?
Hunger. No one should go to bed hungry.
There is a quote that says
“every person is here for reason, everyone has a purpose”; what would you say
is your purpose?
Ultimately
I feel my life's purpose is to help people. To spread the word of God. To let
people know that there is a Jesus Christ who exists. I'm not religious but I do
believe in Jesus and his word.
What is your
hobby/hobbies?
Blogging
and dancing. :)
Favorite book?
Snowflower
& the Secret Fan by Lisa See ...(Real deep huh)
Favorite food?
Hands
down, Puerto Rican dishes. Runner up is Mexican food. Seafood is pretty up
there too. ;)
Favorite animal?
Unicorns.
Lol Jk, id have to say cats. Although I think I'm allergic.
Favorite color?
Green.
If you could go back and
give your 13 year old self a piece of advice what would it be?
Chill
out but kill it in high school and go away to college. But chill, you will
figure things out. ;)
