Glowyshoe: Hello Laurel how you today?
Laurel: Hello Glory, I am well thanks!! How are you?

Glowyshoe: Can you tell us a little about yourself?
Laurel: I am a Style Blogger/Brand Ambassador with a background in Styling and Social Media/Marketing. I have a fashion Blog www.lahuntergatherer.com


Glowyshoe: You've got an impeccable fashion style. So what is fashion to you and at what point did you discover your style?
Laurel: Fashion is something that comes and goes with every season. Style however is more permanent. I’ve always had an unconventional style and I more or less discovered it at 16yrs old when I started working after school and could afford to buy my own clothes. I had a voracious appetite for fashion magazines and would always try to find cheaper alternatives to the styles I saw in the magazines that I could mix and match with items in my wardrobe.

Glowyshoe: Glowyshoe blog is all about celebrating and showcasing beautiful shoe styles and trust me you've got a great shoe style. So will you say you a shoe freak? (reasons) 

Laurel: Lol I would say that I am a Shoeaholic. I absolutely love shoes. I always have. I go gaga for a pair of beautiful heels. Whenever I go shopping I always go to the shoe section first even if it’s online shopping.

Glowyshoe: How many shoes do you have in your closet right now?
Laurel: I haven’t actually physically counted them, but at a rough guess I would say approx. 150

Glowyshoe: How old is the oldest shoe in your closet?
Laurel: Probably 20 years old

Glowyshoe: Who is your favourite shoe designer?
Laurel: OOOh That’s a hard one…Lol! Can I choose 2? Sophia Webster and Charlotte Olympia. I have others, but I’ll go with those 2 brands as I have a couple pairs of their shoes

Glowyshoe: What's the highest amount you can spend on shoe shopping?
Laurel: Hahaha! That all depends on how much I love the shoe

Glowyshoe: Do you purchase strictly high-end designer shoes, or you also do street style brands too?

Laurel: I have a mixture of high end designers and also high street brands. My one rule is that I don’t buy cheap shoes. I will buy shoes on sale but not cheap shoes and that is both price and quality
Glowyshoe: What’s your best color?
Laurel: I don’t have one…Lol I have shoes in an array of colours.

Glowyshoe: Can you give us an insight as to how you take care of your shoes?
Laurel: I store them where possible in their boxes or in a storage case. I also do not drive in my shoes as that damages them.


Glowyshoe: Which shoe can you never be caught wearing and which do you feel more comfortable wearing?
Laurel: I will never be caught wearing a pair of kitten heels. I prefer to wear high heels, but they aren’t always the most comfortable.


Glowyshoe: Can you let your friends wear your shoe and can you wear theirs too?
Laurel: No, I don’t wear their shoes and they don’t wear mine. Besides we all wear different sizes….Lol


Glowyshoe: How do you dispose the shoes you no longer have need of?
Laurel: I usually give them away to charity, but only if they are still in good condition. I look after my shoes, so they generally are in good nick.


Glowyshoe: What no of shoes do you think a lady should have if she wants to build a perfect shoe closet?
Laurel: A woman only needs 10 pairs of shoes to have the perfect shoe closet.


Glowyshoe: Any word for Glowyshoe blog?
Laurel: There is absolutely nothing wrong with losing your cool over the perfect pair of shoes


Glowyshoes: Thanks for taking out the time to talk to me any words for shoe lovers out there?
Laurel: Life is short, buy the shoes….Lol
