Paige is the blogger behind Paige Mariah.
Describe your blog:
I’d like to think of my blog as a personal style diary that I just happen to be sharing with everyone! I would best describe my style as “thrifty chic” and I love mixing vintage with new. I also really love a great deal and I believe it would just be unfair not to share these awesome finds!
What is your favorite post you’ve written or your favorite series/type of post?
My favorite posts would have to be the ones where I have on something that I scored for a really awesome price while thrifting or shopping a sale. It’s so exciting to surprise my readers by telling them a pair of shorts or a blouse only cost me 25 cents.
What is something you wish you knew how to do related to blogging?
I wish that I knew how to design my own blog templates from scratch.
Why did you start blogging?
I started blogging in high school because as a somewhat “shy girl”, it was a great way to express myself. That lead me into blogging all throughout college, first for Seventeen Magazine and then for CollegeFashionista.com. They were both such fun and amazing opportunities, but at times blogging felt more like work. I began http://www.paigemariah.com last year so that I could start blogging for myself again and I fell in love with blogging all over again as well!
What is your favorite social platform?
I’m obsessed with all social media, but my favorite of the moment would have to be SnapChat. I think that the awesome updates on this app within the last year or so have made it a top contender in the social media world. I love the My Story feature. Where else can you watch live front row footage from New York Fashion Week right from a fashion magazine editor’s phone?
What are a few of your favorite Chicago blogs?
I’ve been having so much fun recently discovering these Chicago bloggers and my current favorites would have to be…
Feline Creatures
The Golden Girl Blog
Cranberry Tantrums
