CHICAGO FASHION BLOG Let’s talk about your adorable dogs – clearly you love them and integrate into your social media. Do you find increased engagement when you post dog pics?
Can you give us some insight into a “day in the life” for you? JG: Until this Sept I never actually got vacation. I’ve been posting 5 days a week for 6 yrs without a break. I try to wake up early to work before everyone else wakes up. I work an average of 50 hrs./ per week, if not more, starting around 7 or 7:30 am. Every day is different. I usually work until 4pm, sometimes till 8pm. There are days I take my dogs to the park, but if I’m home I’m almost always working. I have events a lot too. Fashion events, restaurant openings, local publications, store opening, holiday events stores had. Can you share with us one other fashion prediction you have for 2021? JG: In general I remember in 2018/2019 there was a lot of color and liveliness in the collections. Then it did a 180 to neutrals and grays, and an overall more casual vibe (re: the sneaker craze). I don’t think that’s going away, but I do think it will turn again. People seem to be ready to have that excitement back in their wardrobe…
What is your favorite thing to do outside of fashion and social media? JG: To eat. I love going out to restaurants, hanging out with my dogs. I also volunteer at the shelter (PAWS Chicago) where they came from.
Do you have a job outside of fashion blogging? JG: Blogging is my main job. Recently I began working with Guiliana Rancic on her clothing line, G by Guiliana, for HSN. it’s been a new and exciting venture for me, as I’ve never done anything with clothing and design before.
JG: My dogs are a shepherd mix, boxer mix, both from a shelter in Chicago. The boxer tries to box me as I’m walking down the street. Do I see more increased engagement? It depends. I never thoughts I’d be a dog Instagram person because I found it embarrassing. Now I have my dedicated Instagram for my dogs (as peer pressured from friends) so I don’t post them as often on my @chicityfashion account…but they still make some appearances!
Have you been surprised about how much influence you’ve had in other people’s lives? JG: I don’t think I have a ton of influence, but it’s cool when people let me know I have impacted what they wear or where they shop
