1.Introduce yourself, what is your name?
» Shebelle Sirapha Chalermverapong but I’m sick with Belle (people get confused with bell)
– you can call me She.

2.How old are you?

3.Where in the world are you?
» I live in Bangkok, metropolitan of Thailand. We host fashion week in October every year.

4.Do you have a Social Networking site like Facebook that you want to share?

www.facebook.com/pages/Almost-Sober/153830584656185

5.Whats your blogs url?
» http://shebellec.blogspot.com/

6.When did you start blogging?
» I created my blog in June 2010 but it went on hiatus literally because I wasn’t sure what
to blog about except posting my pictures. Then I learned the process & read a lot to get
a glimpse of how fashion Blog-sphere works. So practically I start blogging in September
2010.

7.What made you want to blog?
» Hard to say. Blog is a tool to express my individual style as a person. I used to believe that
fashion has everything to do with top brand names – if you’re not wearing Karl Lagerfeld it’s
not fashion. But that’s not it.

8.Why a fashion blog?

» I was finding myself. I used to believe fashion is for shallow people so I was afraid to jump
in. But then I did my homework, participated fashion workshops, finding subliminal message;
what it has to say, everything’s changed ever since.

9.Whats your favorite fashion look? (include picture of yourself wearing your fave
fashion)

» Something comfortable but gives a contemporary with vintage look. I enjoy wearing maxi
skirt with tank top but shoes are my primal element.

10.What are 5 of your favorite clothing brands?
1. Ann Demeulemeester
2. Alexander Wang
3. Theory
4. Roberto Cavalli
5. Nina Ricci

11.Whats one must-have clothing staple?

» Basics in neutral tones. You can layer them with anything. Take the price and divide by
how often you can wear (mix) the wardrobe within a year.

12.Who or what inspires you when it comes to fashion?
» There’s no singularity for this context. I know it’s redundant but everything inspires me.
That’s the reason why I tuck my smart phone away and stare out the window while travelling.

13.Who is your celebrity fashion inspiration? 

» Victoria Beckham – she knows the definition of classy.

14.Do you hope to pursue a career in fashion?

» I am. I own an e-magazine called Almost Sober which you can check out in my blogger
until official site is launched. Interns also work best for a career change. But whatever you
do, always be humble to people around you!

15.Whats one most interesting thing about you?
» I have tenacity of a pit bull and try hard to get by. This is weird for me to say but if one way
doesn’t work out, I’d seek alternatives. I never enrolled in fashion design institute because of
its overpriced lessons so I sought after industrial sewing sessions and fashion workshops to
grasp its principles. Then I started blogging to learn more from fellow fashionista. It doesn’t
matter when you get there but how you get there. Ask yourself: are you proud of who you
are? Where do you see yourself in five years time? So start now and play hard to get by.
There’s no easy win.
