Just over 6 months ago EveOaks came to life.
Just like half of the girls I started a blog. I wanted to create a website where I could bundle all my photography, illustrations and small articles. The fashion looks I posted were just for fun. Now after half a year I look back at what it did to me.
Fashionista?
No, I’m definitely not a fashionista. Trends come and go. I’ve never seen fashion shows besides backstage and I don’t feel the urge of buying a new special exclusive collection at whatever store.
For me fashion is an awesome way of expressing feelings and identity but it’s not my lifestyle.
I also enjoy secondhand shops just as much as regular stores.
Besides that I do love to share my looks. I remember how I Iooked at those awesome flawless fashion girls on lookbook and other mediums several years ago. Since I started posting my looks, Lookbook featured me several times!! I still feel honored.
Look at my care face.
5 months ago I felt uncomfortable standing on the streets with my soon-to-be-posted outfit. Now I walk and jump and sing while pictures are being made and unknown people stop and stare. I care less and less about so called “funny” comments from strangers and just have fun with it.
Lenses and cameras
I picked up my photography when EveOaks was brought to life and that has been a rollercoaster ever since. Now I’m working with several modeling agencies and eager to work with more and build up a portfolio. While friends are partying until late I’m on Youtube learning more about Photoshop and Lenses. I want to give Jessica Kobeissi a shoutout for being such a wonderful teacher!

Friends
I’ve met some wonderful people already and some of them I call my friends.
Success is nothing without sharing.
I was so excited when a small clothing company emailed me to ask if I wanted to choose some items and blog about them. I immediately called a friend and told her to also pick an item. More companies came and asked for collaborations which thrills me every time. But what’s a little success without sharing this with those who help me?
