Winter is going on in Europe. Time to bring out some hot stuff! Time for our new Trendy BuzzAngel! For this February release, we have chosen Selina aka Flying Saucer, a blogger .

Selina is speaking

- How old are you?
18

- Where do you com from?
I’m from Birmingham, England, but I study in Manchester during term time.

- What do you do?
I’m a first year student studying Management and Marketing of Textiles.

- When did you start blogging?
In November 2006.

- Why did you start blogging? What does blogging give you in daily life?
What does blogging give you in daily life? I discovered other fashion blogs and though I had something to offer too. None of my friends were into fashion and I wanted to talk to people who were. So I started posting about runways, shopping and DIY projects and eventually found my style and what works. I usually take outfit pictures which can be quite hard when you share a mirror with 12 girls! The blog lets me discuss fashion topics with an open mind and receive honest feedback from like minded people all over the world . It inspires me and drives me to have a very low bank balance!

- Do you remember your first blog post?
I think it was when Lily Cole left a comment on my MySpace!

- Are you rather a «twitter» or a «powncer»?
Neither! I’ve let the blog sail along happily without too much networking or promotion. Maybe I should start?

- Twitter, Facebook, blogs, buzz, web 2.0… What do you think of all this? How do you see the evolution of the web?
I think soon everyone will have a blog, just like a Facebook! I think the Net is fabulous for networking and spreading ideas; it makes the world seem smaller. I love being able to talk to people I would never ever meet and find out lots of gossip from people I don’t even know!

What if you were…

- An animal? Maybe a peacock, because I love to dress up, or a parrot because I often say things I shouldn’t!
- A color? Red.
- A place? My uni halls. I’ve had more fun here than anywhere else put together.
- A season? Autumn, for the Spring/Summer shows and plenty of holidays to look forward to!
- A musical instrument? A French horn.
- A meal? Angel Delight, crumpets with jam, sweet potato, fizzy sweets - no meat is sweet!
- A song? At the moment my friends and I always party it up to some Britney, Timberland or cheesy stuff, but my all time favourite set would be Be Your Own Pet at Reading 06.
- A proverb? It’s not a proverb, but a quote I always remember is “In order to be irreplaceable one must always be different” - Coco Chanel.
- A blog (other than yours)? stylebubble.typepad.com
- A web 2.0 homepage? Facebook - just for photo tagging.
- A buzz? I’m looking forward to Milan Fashion Week but there’s a huge buzz around London; I can’t wait to see the shows from Luella and Peter Jensen.
