" If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more and become more, you are a leader"
-John Quincy Adams-
Hi dollz,
Even if I'm still not clear with what I wanna do with this blog, I know for sure that I definitively want to talk on here about my inspirations and how they do have an impact in my life.
Hence the gal I interviewed today : Clarissa Henry, from my dear London town, at the tender age of 20 years old, is giving life to me and some 8200 other people on Instagram. Since I started to follow her blog, I noticed that her style evolved for the best. She's this badass lady wearing the tomboy style like no one else and all her outfits are flawless. She's such an inspo for me - and obviously a lot of peeps in the world wide web - that I wanted you to find out about her universe.
As she inspired me to do more ( this blog duh!) and explore more my own personal style, it was pretty obvious for me that she is the kind of leader Adams is talking about. Anyway enough talking, here is the interview :-)
- Hello Clarissa! Can you introduce yourself ?

Hello, I'm Clarissa Henry, formally known as VINTAGEDOLLRISA and I'm a 19 year old fashion student living in East london that runs a little cool blog vintagedollrisa.com
I started blogging because I watched and read loads of other blogs since I was about 15. I thought to myself, I could do this. Once I got my camera there was no stopping me. Of course I wasn't as well off as the bloggers I enjoyed reading but I had to start somewhere. I was so determined to get myself out there and show my own personal style to whoever was watching and reading.
Yess! Iamcharlottemartin, lightningfactory, basik attire, prettysickly, Alealimay (from America)
- How and why did you start your blog ?

- I follow your blog almost since the beginning and I noticed an evolution of style, more tomboy and I love it... what do you think about this evolution ?
Yes I agree. That's one of the most amazing things about having a blog, you can go back and see yourself evolve, it's so cool. I can honestly say I've found my style and I've never been so content and happy with my image.
Everywhere! From my friends on Instagram to photos on tumblr to people on the street.
I don't really look at latest trends or designers.
- What are you celebrity inspos ?
Definitely Solange, Aaliyah, Rihanna
- These last weeks, we can see that you've got some good friend with hot looks too like Mercy and Hannah Faith. How do they influence your style ?
Let's not forget Christina Afrique ASWELL! They are just great souls and Goddesses, we support each other and just have such great times. They influence me to keep going and be myself and to do what I love no matter what!
- Do you have some interactions with the other UK bloggers ? what are your favourite bloggers ?
Yess! Iamcharlottemartin, lightningfactory, basik attire, prettysickly, Alealimay (from America)
- Do you have some negative comments or people on your blog/instagram ? how do you do to not be affected by that or, in contrary, are you affected ?
To be honest I don't get negative comments which is weird, everyone really enjoys what I do, maybe because I just do what I gotta do. I don't put anything else out there apart from my blog and my experiences. But I've never really cared about negative comments, they are just opinions and as long as you know who you are nothing can hinder you.
- What do you think about the fashion industry in London ?
The fashion industry in the UK goes up and down each season, we would have a great influential season then the next would be really dry. I think it's all down to people's ideas and inspirations. It's so strict that I guess people feel restricted and limited. I prefer the younger generation of designers and creatives because they just don't care.
- Now some question less formal and fashion focused ! So Risa, what brand of make up do you use ?
I use Mac, Revlon and Sleek
I love a good TRAP and HIPHOP club but I also love a house party
- I know thanks to Mercy's Youtube interview that you are not single but anyway in general what are the three main things you look for in a guy ?
- Honesty, drive and creativity
- What kind of music do you listen ?
- Listen to everything from old school rnb, hip hop,TRAP, NEO soul, grime, funk, reggae
- What are the events that you have planned next personally in your life and also for your blog in 2015 ?
- Defo create a few brands that I'll keep a secret for now :) and of course get bigger and better with my blog and possibly travel and take my blog around the world to places like New York and Australia.
- Ok brilliant! Now one last question : where do you picture yourself in ten years ? Still in London ?
In ten years I see myself as a CEO starting a beautiful family, yes in london but travelling of course!
