Her blog, Hey Dahye, shows off her affinity for food, fashion trends, and tales of fantastic trips to places like romantic Paris, France. We asked Daye a few questions of our own, here’s what she said…..
What inspired you to start a blog?
Thinking back on my fifteen-year-old self, I really don't know what exactly I was doing/thinking when I started my own blog. I think I just fell in love with the idea of being able to share what I'm most passionate about with people around the world, and found sharing photos to be so fun. But I was definitely inspired by the "pioneer bloggers" (Blonde Salad, Fashion Toast, Song of Style, etc) who all had very humble beginnings with their blogs, and were able to grow it into something so influential in the industry today. I thought to myself, "Hey, maybe I could do that too."
Have you ever wanted to do something drastic with your hair? What would you like to do? Why haven’t you done it?
YES! I have been thinking about going blonde for a whole year now, and I am finally going for it sometime soon. I never tried it in high school, for fear of what others might think of me, but now I guess you could say that I've learned to care less of what others think. I am digging the "blonde Asian" trend seen on Soojoo and a ton of other fashion bloggers. Can't wait to join the blonde Asian band-wagon!
Do you ever get writers block? What do you do to get passed it?
Of course, anyone who has written anything has gotten writers block. When it happens to me, I walk away from the computer and read, go outside, clean my room... anything besides being in front of a screen. The beauty of a blog is that it is personal, and you shouldn't think too hard about what to write about. It should feel natural, as if you are talking to your audience one-on-one. So yeah, taking a break and reflecting on what it is that I really want to share with the world helps me get passed writers block.

We asked Gina a few questions of our own, here’s what she said….
What is your favorite thing to photograph and what do you love about it?
My favourite thing to photograph are fashion posts, even though they’re the hardest pictures to take. I don’t have anyone to help me, so it’s a trial and error process, but after a lot of ugly photos I end up with some beautiful ones. I love the whole process of shooting them, it can be really fun, but also really tiring, especially if I’m jumping all the time to capture those on-air moments. Also, I love having a sunset at the background.
Have you ever wanted to do something drastic with your hair? What would you like to do? Why haven’t you done it?
I’m constantly thinking about changing my hair and doing something drastic to it. At the moment, I’m really loving purple, blue, orange and light blonde hair, but I haven’t tried any of these colours on me. I’m quite scared that I’ll end up hating my hair, so that’s why I haven’t tried anything yet. Sadly, I’m not as daring as I would want to be.
Who do you see as a “style icon” and why?
I consider the blogger Lily Melrose as my biggest style icon at the moment. I just love her style and anything she wears. I love her hair and makeup as well. I actually cut my hair short because her hair is shoulder length. She just has a gift when it comes to putting outfits together. She’s truly inspiring and I love both her blogs and youtube channel.

Lidia, blogger from Moscow Russia, loves to photograph a blend of fashion and travel. Whether it’s a great dress surrounded by snowfall or a photo of the Bamboo Forrest in Taehwagang River Grand Park…it’s clear she has an eye for photography. We asked Lidia a few questions of our own, here’s what she said……
What inspired you to start a blog?
My passion for fashion comes from childhood. My mother and grandmother sewed, and I've been always very beautiful and unusually dressed. With age, I desired to stand out and be not like others. In my blog, I can express this desire.
Have you ever wanted to do something drastic with your hair? What would you like to do? Why haven’t you done it?
Yes, sometimes, I would like very briefly to cut my hair, or to color my hair in an unusual color (blue, green, pink). But, I know that I could change my mind, but it’s not so easy to return, as it was. So, it’s stops me from doing it.
What is your favorite thing to photograph and what do you love about it?
My cat :))) It's so cute!

What inspired you to start a blog?
Above all, my love for fashion, trends and regular shopping. I've also followed some of my favorite fashion blogs and finally decided to start my own blog. Fashion blogs definitely have a huge impact when it comes to the latest trends. Blogging has changed my life in many ways.
Have you ever wanted to do something drastic with your hair? What would you like to do? Why haven’t you done it?
Yes, a few years ago I was obsessed with mini wave. My hairdresser advised me to think twice. He said, “You have nice straight hair, think twice before you do anything.” In the end, I didn't do anything to my hair and since then I haven't had any similar desires.
What is your favorite designer and why?
One of my favorites recently is designer Giuseppe Zanotti. Someone said that “shoes are the source of women’s confidence”. My favorite types of shoes are high heels, and Giuseppe Zanotti has a really awesome and unique design. I am also a big fan of Karl Lagerfeld, Marc Jacobs and Michael Kors.
