Looking to revamp your wardrobe for the Fall? Wondering how to transition your clothing pieces from the work day to a night out? Well, I have your go-to source! Look no further than the blog Gumboot Glam, created by Ally Soeker. Her style knows no limits, and effortlessly exudes confidence and class. Can you say #styleicon?
What was the inspiration behind the amazing name for your blog, Gumboot Glam? What was your process for creating and deciding on a name?
Gumboot Glam is a fun little alliteration that I thought was an accurate description of my glammed up North West style, as I currently live in rainy Vancouver, Canada.
What are three pieces of advice that you would give to all the individuals with dreams of starting their own blog?
Content is key, and having regular content is super important, I always aim to have at least 3-5 posts a week (lately with my wedding just around the corner that seems to be a bit trickier), Scheduling your content is important, and just being yourself is also super important, people want to hear your authentic voice :)
Congratulations on your engagement!!! Your ring = All the heart eyes! What has been the most exciting part of planning your wedding? What has been the most difficult part?
Thank you so so much! I’m lucky to have a super hands-on fiancé that has helped with every part of executing my (err our) vision of the big day. I would say the hardest part is adhering to a budget, we have been pretty diligent about it, but its really easy to get carried away.
When you find yourself overwhelmed, stressed, or discouraged–how do you like to clear your mind and relax? What types of activities (or the absence of activity) re-energize you?
I love yoga and I find that that always helps me center myself when I feel like things are getting a little crazy. I also think that its so important to do at least 30 minutes of exercise every single day!
If you could have one item on your “Currently Craving” list from your blog, what would it be and why?
Hmmmm … Just one thing? I’m totally obsessed with flared jeans right now and these Rag and Bone ones are pretty amazing!
What is your favorite meal of the day?
Dinner, its the only meal that isn’t totally rushed and I almost always get to have dinner with my fiancé Christian :)
Favorite afternoon pick-me-up? (coffee, tea, exercise, nap etc)
I love an Americano with just a touch of fresh cinnamon and a little cream.
Most worn accessory?
I love all my custom jewelry from Bip and Bop! I wear at least one of them almost everyday, But I also love layering them.
