More times than not when someone starts a blog it's hard to catch people's attention right off the bat. With her unique sense of style and fashion designer background Alessandra Mazzini started her blog in 2009 and has a strong following today. She is an active presence in the Fashion Blogging world (she was recently featured in Vogue Latinoamérica for her street style) and an inspiration to girls everywhere. I was lucky enough to be given the chance to interview the Peruvian stylist/fashion designer.
