Blogger Spotlight #9: Style Files

Meet Suzanne Carillo of Style Files

Picture

Suzanne's style is colorful, eclectic, daring and honest. Her style is truly one that she can call her own and in many cases, I find her outfits difficult to emulate. This is a good thing. A very good thing. That element is crucial to rendering someone's style unique.


Her color coordination is fantastic and I really like her layered looks. I also
enjoy Suzanne's writing style. She has a great sense of humor and she's always willing to admit where she thinks she might have failed fashion wise. When that happens, she actively seeks ways to correct the mistakes.

I admire this kind of objectivity. Despite the image some super popular bloggers may portray, the fact of the matter is, none of us are perfect. Not even them. We all make mistakes that we (hopefully) learn from. I welcome these style mishaps, because they make my overall style better after a lot of thought and careful tweaking. The thing is, I don't intentionally publish those mistakes. Suzanne does. For that, she has my eternal respect.

Also, you may have noticed that I only post my styles along with the occasional awesome sale. If I've acquired a new sponsor, I'll divulge that bit of info, too, but that's about it.

I'm very to the point and probably to a fault, so I fear my blog doesn't have much in the way of variety. I just don't like "filler" posts. I care most about what people wear and how they wear it, so that's my main focus.

In contrast, Suzanne includes useful and engaging content alongside her style posts to keep her blog interesting. You'll find everything from style inspirations to home decor to photos from her personal life.


This content makes Suzanne's blog more well rounded and it gives you a better sense of who she is and what she values. So, I highly recommend checking out Suzanne's blog. She has a lot to offer!
Keep up with her on Facebook and Pinterest, too!

Contact me, if you would like to be featured in my Blogger Spotlight series! I can't make any particular guarantees, but preference will be given to lesser known blogs (i.e. blogs with fewer than 50 followers).


  3 out of 12 spots are available for 2014

DO NOT write me and ask how much it will cost to be featured. Those requests are offensive and I will immediately place your emails in my spam folder where they will languish forever.

She really has a unique fashion sense of her own. Very feminine and prominent :))

I love Suzanne's style and everything you say is so spot on, especially about how she is very evaluative about her fashion successes and shortfalls. I'm not sure I could be that honest, some days!

She is awesome! I love when she talks about her dog. And it's so she does have such a refreshing voice that sets her apart from other bloggers. How lovely. Good share.

Thank you Anna! I had no idea you were going to feature me : )

What a nice surprise. Especially considering that my printer died on me two days ago and my computer died yesterday...thus why I am behind on everything right now in my life. I'm working on my hubby's laptop right now and there is a full on blizzard outside right now so this is the best new ever : )

Thanks again for making my day!

bisous
Suzanne

Oh, that sucks! I'm glad that this piece is a little ray of sunshine ^_^ <3 I know how it goes. Sometimes, when it rains, it pours, as they say. Hehe. Good luck with the technical difficulties. I hope you can get that all straightened out, because I (and countless others) miss your posts! At least you have Jamaica to look forward to? :DDD My parents spent a month out there over December 2013/January 2014 to visit family. I haven't been there since 2005, so I was sad that I couldn't make the trip. It's a wonderful place full of beautiful people and gorgeous beaches. If you haven't already been, you'll love it!

Oh and my intent was to surprise you! Hehe. I like to do that every now and then. It didn't take long for me to realize that you're an incredible person. I figured this out within the first couple of months of reading your blog. I felt like I started to get to know you and where you're coming from, so to speak. I genuinely admire your style and I was happy to share it with others. Your feature was one of the easiest to write! I would have said more, but I deliberately confined myself to two columns so it would read more like a page from a magazine as opposed to a chapter in a book, ;)

Take it easy and keep being awesome!

You are too sweet!

We have never been to Jamaica so now I'm super excited : )

I am still using my hubby's laptop...I have my fingers crossed that the "genius bar" lives up to its name.

...the lovefest is mutual since you see I often end up featuring your amazing use of layers and colours in my Friday's Top Five. You are such a creative force and stylist.

bisous
Suzanne

Love this. I've never seen her blog before but am excited to be a new follower. I agree it is brave of her to talk about style fails, I often edit them out as well (typically I realize they're bad AFTER they've been posted :/)

Hahaha yeah. I can totally relate. That's why I'm floored by what Suzanne does. I've totally posted something and then a week later I think: ohh, you know I shouldn't have worn those two things together or...ohhh I think a different bag would have been more effective with this look. Self-editing is so difficult, especially for someone like me who likes to dress like a Russian doll. Haha. ;)
