Fashion Blogger: Lorna Burford

As a Style and Fashion Blogger I do follow and admire other bloggers as well, and I am very thrilled to be able to feature one of them on my blog. I am referring to the lovely and talented Lorna Burford of Raindrops of Sapphire, a UK Personal Style & Life Blog. She is also the owner of The Fashion Supernova and the editor and a writer of DenimBlog.com.

I have been following Lorna for quite a while and what I like the most about her style is her casual approach always perfectly executed with a touch of classiness and demureness. I learned that she loves denim, black, burgundy and gray hues, and this could be appreciated on a lot of her outfits and looks.

I wanted to interview a style and fashion blogger, and I chose Lorna Burford to be the first one. Here there are a few questions I asked Lorna so we could all get to know a little about her and her style.

How would you describe your style?

“My style is very mixed, but if I had to narrow it down, it would be fairly classic and feminine I think, but in a structured way. I love to wear skinny jeans, heels and blazers, or oversize sweaters, leggings and boots. But my style changes based on my personality, if I’m feeling girly that day then I will dress accordingly, another day I might want something more edgy and tough, so I will wear something that suits.”

How do you manage your time to be able to run 3 blogs on top of your social / personal life?

“That’s a very good question! Sometimes I don’t even know the answer myself, ha ha. I work 24/7 on the blogs and social media, so it’s always a part of my life, even when I’m out and about running errands or having lunch with someone. I do try to take time out to allocate hours just to myself and spend with my boyfriend, but it is a very time consuming job. I mainly split it into sections though. When I wake up I will check my emails, respond to those, then I will do work for DenimBlog, then work for Raindrops of Sapphire and then work for The Fashion Supernova. I do social media and more emails in-between these times too, when it’s needed. But it varies, somedays there will be more work than others!”

What made you start your first blog?

“If you mean Raindrops of Sapphire, I started that blog because I wanted a place online which I could have as my own space. A place that I could share my loves in fashion with others who felt the same way, especially my love for denim, that’s when I opened Raindrops of Sapphire almost 4 years ago. I didn’t intentionally mean for it to be a personal life and style blog at the time, but that’s what it’s grown into and I am very happy with that. It’s a great place to be able to meet people, create a little community and everything. It’s nice! I then started The Fashion Supernova almost 2 years ago as I wanted somewhere I could write about general fashion, that wasn’t personal to me, things that I didn’t feel would fit in with the content and vibe of Raindrops of Sapphire. In reference to DenimBlog, I don’t own the site, but I have been writing for it for around 6 years I think and have been the editor for about 5 years or so. It’s a great site!”

Do you consider yourself high maintenance? Or do you ever go somewhere without any makeup and dressing down?

“I don’t consider myself high maintenance at all, nobody has ever said that I was either. Since I’m a country girl, I’m very much used to that way of living. I go out in my wellies/rain boots all the time when needed and I’m not afraid of country walks, animals, bugs or anything like that in the slightest. I’m very easy going and actually very non judgemental as I accept everyone for who they are. In terms of make up though, I do prefer to wear it, but that’s purely because I have scars on my face and I do tend to feel quite insecure when they show. If I didn’t have them, I wouldn’t mind not wearing make up at all really!”

What would be the perfect outfit for you?

“It’s usually a pair of good fitting skinny jeans, mixed with a fitted blazer over a t-shirt or shirt and some heels (either in boot or platform style), with a cross body bag worn on one shoulder. I love this type of combination. To describe it fully, perhaps my Koral burgundy jeans with my grey blazer with faux leather sleeves, I love anything burgundy, black and white or with grey, it’s a huge weakness of mine!”

Now that we got to know Lorna Burford a little more, I invite you all to follow her and definitely adopt some of her great ideas incorporating them to suit your style!
