I could think of no better way than to start my Spotlight On column than to go straight to the lovely Amy, out Editor in Chief. She started her first blog, Confessions of a Fashion Editor, back in 2009 after stumbling into fashion writing whilst she was Fashion Editor at Lipstick Royalty Magazine. However, recently it was time for a shiny new start with Australasia Dreaming and of course we can't forget the creation of British Style Bloggers along the way as the site heads for its second birthday this summer. Somehow she also manages to fit in studying English and History amongst all this! So let's get down to the questioning...

This image and the next both belong to Amy.

Wowee you have been a busy bee with both the BSB relaunch and a move in your own blog from COAFE to Austalasia Dreaming, what are you most excited about in both projects?

With BSB, I'm excited about everything! So much is changing, and not everything has become obvious yet, because the columns will be going up all month and slowly revealing their beauty, haha :) I really hope everyone likes what we've been working on - it's been a long journey, but I think we're getting there!

With Australasia Dreaming, my new blog, I guess the most obvious exciting thing is moving to Australia. I'm giddy as hell half the time, and scared witless the other half. I'm going to miss everyone so, so much...

I loved visiting York for BSB's birthday party last year. What's your favourite thing about the area and how would you describe the sense of street style and shops?

My favourite thing about York is March and April; when the sun, blossoms and daffodils are all out, covering the old walls and brightening the area up, but before the thousands of tourists descend. For two short months, it is beautiful, tranquil bliss, and I adore it.

The street style I guess is harder to pin down; it's probably much the same as most of the rest of the UK, to be honest, and (terrible as this is for me to admit!), I don't tend to pay much attention. The shops, though, are something else; because we have so many tiny streets and old buildings, we have an eclectic mix of unique boutiques, designer stores and high-street, sometimes one after the other. It's beautiful.

What inspired you to start blogging and has your motivation to carry on posting changed at all?

I was inspired to start blogging by an article in Teen Vogue declaring some of the world's most prolific bloggers as "The Fashion Editors of Tomorrow". At the time, I was a fashion editor myself, and so I was a little miffed, to be honest! My motivation has definitely changed, though - it's been two years, now, and I'm not the person I was, back then. Now I blog because I want to; because I can; because I have something to say. There's a lot less anger than there was!

What were the hardest challenges to solve or work round in your early blogging days?

Setting up a blog in the first place. I am famously computer-illiterate. The mid actually boggles.

What is the very best thing to come from your blogging experience?

The friends. I have met so many truly wonderful people through blogging, and I genuinely consider a lot of bloggers to be my closest friends in the world. And, however morbid it sounds, I think both Rachel Charlton and I can agree that we'd probably not be here today without each other - we spend half our lives on the phone, whining about everything that's wrong and talking each other off ledges! She's amazing, and I really don't know what I'd do without her.

Do you feel you style has evolved at all since you began blogging- has my cunning plan to integrate some florals and dresses in your wardrobe worked at all?

Amy ventured into the land of florals for my blog's floral celebration.

Yes! I actually wear dresses, now. And, sometimes I even feel good in them. And, yes, I do own some florals... not as many as you, but some!

I dress for me, now. If I like it, I wear it - whereas before, I was far too shy. That's definitely a change.

What's the best piece of blogging advice you've been given and would you like to add some wisdom of your own?
