Mi Ji & Neslihan
1. Maybe another person have asked you but.. Are you models, designers or something in the fashion world? I think you are or if not, you will be anything you want in it. (Kathy)
Neslihan: No, we don't do anything fashion-related apart from this blog. But I'd like to work for a magazine someday. Thanks a lot for your encouraging words. :)
2. What kind of music do you three like? (Anonymous)
Neslihan: No, we don't do anything fashion-related apart from this blog. But I'd like to work for a magazine someday. Thanks a lot for your encouraging words. :)
2. What kind of music do you three like? (Anonymous)
Mi Ji: Genres I like are: soul, rnb, hiphop, jazz, k-pop, classic.
Neslihan: Indie (Brit) Rock, Dance, French Rock/Pop, Turkish music, Trip Hop,... It's really not easy to define. The third person you asked about is probably Pascal and you better ask him via his blog. :)
3. How do you guys take your coffee? (Emily)
Mi-Ji: With lots of milk :D but without sugar.
Neslihan: Mostly just black, which comes handy because Mi-Ji takes my milk as well. Every now and then I like to have just a little bit of milk in it, but always without sugar.

4. Would you want your boyfriends to be as interested in fashion as you are? (Yasemin)
Mi Ji: Hm maybe not as much as I am.. he should be able to understand my interest in fashion.
Neslihan: No, he doesn't have to be. He should just happen to dress nicely. Joking aside, looks are important but I wouldn't want to talk about fashion that much with my boyfriend. So far I couldn't complain...
5. Who is your celebrity male crush? :) (Jenny)
MiJi: There is actually no specific person..but I do like the korean actor So Ji Sub.
Neslihan: With shame I admit it's Chuck Bass (not Ed Westwick, because aside from the show I know nothing about him). Man what can I say, it's his voice that makes me weak in the knees.
6. What is your favourite piece of clothing? (Maren)
Mi Ji: Blazers, what else?! ^^
Neslihan: Skinny jeans, blazers and leather jackets. A little boring I know but it's just what I wear the most.

7. Have you ever been in love? (Maren)
Mi Ji: Yes.
Neslihan: Yes I have. Sorry for being so reclusive about this.
8. Tea or coffee? (Maren)
Mi Ji: Coffee.
Neslihan: Definitely coffee.
9. What is your absolute favourite artist/ band? (Maren)
Neslihan: I really suck at "What's your favourite.."-questions because I can't chose one. Bloc Party, The Kooks and The Fray are bands I never tire of listening to.

10. What made you start blogging? (Maren)
Neslihan: I was reading blogs for a very long time and Mi-Ji and I talked a lot about what we saw and read on other blogs. We liked this rather new approach to fashion and style in general with daily updates and much more personal take on fashion than what magazines give us. Also we noticed that there were not many style blogs from Switzerland around but I always had a feeling that it was only a matter of time till Swiss people would get involved, too. Besides it was a way for sharing our interest with people all around the world so in fall last year we finally decided to start our own blog.
11. How did you end up meeting each other? (Sarah)
Neslihan: We were introduced to each other through a mutual friend almost three years ago. I was really eager to get to know her ever since I spotted her on the campus. :)
12. What is the one thing you have to wear everyday? (Sarah)
Mi Ji: My ring and something slouchy such as a loose tee or cardigan.

Yes~ I'm glad you guessed it right ^^y

17. Neslihan, where in Turkey are you? (Dilek Isabelle)
Neslihan: I only go to Turkey for vacation and it's mostly Istanbul and Altinoluk/ Balikesir.

18. What is your favorite movie/ cartoon/ anime? (ZuKi)
Neslihan: Haha that's a weird question. Generally, yes I do. Some of the things I wear are bought by my sister though, but since we share our closet it's no big deal.
Neslihan: German and Turkish are my mother tongues and I also speak English (obviously), Spanish and French. Actually I was very shy about speaking French but I'm currently in an oral expression class to overcome that uncomfortable feeling.

Mi Ji: I was born in Switzerland, Zurich..So I'm Swiss?!?! : )
Neslihan: I was born and raised in Switzerland so my stay is not temporarily. I plan to live and study in Zurich for the next two years. After that, I'm open for anything.
Yes~ I'm glad you guessed it right ^^y

24. What are your favourite online stores? (Elizabeth Victoria C)
Mi Ji: I don't have any experience with online shopping. But I use lots of korean shopping sites to get inspired.

Mi Ji: Oh I loved the current stay in Istanbul. All the crowds, the sea, the bazar..I have a weakness for dynamic cities!
Furthermore Seoul and Frankfurt are also one of my favourite destinations.
Neslihan: Mostly I travelled in Europe but would love to travel to further places in the future. One of my favourite cities so far is London and I'm certain I'll go there many more times.

29. Where do you buy your clothes? (Alice)
Mi Ji: I shop in various places.. I'm a fan of Zara, no doubt. But I also love secondhand shops.
I think I buy quite a lot when I'm in Korea or Germany. And thank god, I found beautiful pieces of jewellery in Istanbul <3
Neslihan: I mostly buy my clothes around the area I live but also from abroad when travelling. In the outfit posts I write where I bought a certain item and I think it becomes very clear that I mostly shop in budget-friendly shops which are not exactly known for their amazing clothes. :)
