TIME² - Chats To Fashion Blogger Disneyrollergirl

You're a stylist, journalist and fashion blogger - how did you get into fashion?

I was always obsessed with magazines and used to draw my own fashion shoots, complete with made-up credits! I eventually studied fashion illustration and promotion and things took off from there. Like everyone, I had to do the whole slogging away for free to begin with but I was lucky and got offered a job on a magazine quite quickly.

What's a typical day for Disneyrollergirl?

I check my emails and Twitter from bed, potter about doing some admin-y things most of the morning and have my meetings in the afternoon if I can. If I'm shooting I'll line up appointments/castings/meetings all day and do the creative stuff (researching, unpacking samples) in the evening. If it's a writing day, I'll do my pottering and then get stuck in around 11. I'm not good at writing first thing, I like to ease into it slowly. Blogging gets slotted in around everything else.

Do you have a favourite designer/look for this autumn/winter?

I've just been researching the shows so I can tell you that although I love Michael van der Ham, for practicality reasons I'm veering more towards Celine and Stella McCartney. I'm all about a well-cut, mannish coat!

What other fashion blogs do you read/why?

Loads. I always read Susie Bubble and Fred Butler Style to make sure I haven't missed out on any popup shops or exhibitions. I also like the menswear blogs - Style Salvage and 00o00. That said, I spend far more time these days following these people on Twitter - I'm an information addict!

Do you wear a watch(es)?

Yes, always.

What do you love about watches/do you have a favourite brand/style?

Watches are like jewellery really, for me. Although I am also obsessed with the time, maybe because I'm always late! I love Swatch watches because they're affordable, graphic and they have done some iconic collaborations. On the flip side, I also love my Hermes Medor which has a lizard skin strap and gold pyramid studs. The biggest stud opens up to reveal a watch face - it's one of a kind and a bit of a conversation starter. [See Time2.co.uk for 25% off selected designer watch styles]

Have watches become key fashion accessories in mens/womenswear in your opinion?

Watches tend to go in waves of being fashion-focused and slipping off the radar. At the moment they're very much key, probably because designers are doing such fun, exciting things with them.

What's on your Christmas wish-list this year?

I need some gorgeous jumpers and more art/fashion books. I would love the (very expensive) Cecil Beaton scrapbook that has just come out.

What are you looking forward to in fashion for spring/summer 11?

I love the YSL colour palette of hot oranges, fuchsia, emerald green and turquoise that has infiltrated all the collections. [See TIME²'s Pop collection for colourful watch styles] I'm also excited about Bally under the new designers Michael Herz and Graeme Fidler - what I've seen is gorgeous.
