I'm finally out of my freshman year of highschool, and now looking back on it I realize that for the first time in my life, I'm really happy with the friends I've made. They're all such individuals who have very clear ideas of where they want to go in life, and by being around them I feel the urge to try and be a better person. I decided to interview one of my friends who runs the fashion blog BrunetteHaus about movies, tv, style, and of course, books.
What is your favorite movie? Why? What affect has it had on you?
I love the movie Breakfast at Tiffany's because it is so charming and the characters in it are all so interesting. I also love the connection that it has to fashion because the main character, Holly Golightly, is so fashionable. She is portrayed by Audrey Hepburn, who I have a personal connection to because the sister of my great-uncle was best friends with her. It affected me because it made me more interested in fashion and the story was so unique and charming that it inspired me to write stories of my own.
What are your favorite tv shows? Why? What affect have they had on you?
I love Mad Men because it is set during one of my favorite decades, the 1960s. All of the characters are extremely interesting and there is symbolism in every episode so the show gives you a lot to think about. I also love The Killing because it is extremely atmospheric and gives you a lot to think about in terms of human nature and morality.
What is your favorite book? Why? What affect has it had on you?
My favorite book is Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger because Holden Caulfield's narrative is so unique and his observations are very amusing and interesting to read. I loved the book because the story was simple despite its simplicity and I thought that all of the characters were extremely interesting even if they weren't necessarily likeable.
What kind of music do you listen to? Artists? Songs in particular?
I listen to all kinds of music, but I especially like alternative rock and indie pop. I love Marina and the Diamonds, Lana Del Rey, Sky Ferreira, Two Door Cinema Club, Vampire Weekend, The Killers, Sea Wolf, Ariana Grande, Azealia Banks, and Caravan Palace. I like musicians that are unique. I love "The Way" by Ariana Grande and Mac Miller because it really showcases her vocal talent and is just a really cute and fun song to listen to when you're in a bad mood. I also love "Teen Idle" by Marina and the Diamonds because it is so honest and the lyrics are brilliant. I love all of Lana Del Rey's songs because she is brilliant and does not really fit into a single genre.
Do you think the music you listen to corresponds with your personality?
I definitely think that the music that I listen to corresponds with my personality because when I'm feeling a certain way I'll listen to a certain artist, and I have a tendency to listen to music that I can relate to or music that takes me back to a certain time and place.
How would you describe your personal style? How does it reflect you?
I can't really describe my personal style because it is truly a combination of everything that I love. Sometimes I will go for a vintage vibe, and sometimes I'll be more modern. I truly can't sum it up in an eloquent way. I think it reflects how eccentric I am because my eclectic tastes reflect that I'm an individualist.
What are your hobbies?
I dance ballet, write, draw, and I love taking pictures.
What do you hope to be when you get older?
I want to be a fashion journalist, a model, and a photographer.
What is your favorite thing about your life at the moment?
I love my friends and think that they truly make my life better.
