Hello Wallis Busnelli, could you introduce yourself.

Hi I’m Desiree, a mother and animal lover!A fashion fan of the most beautiful brands in the world. I’ve always loved this magazine looking at how to get the new trendy looks.

How did you get interested in blogging and fashion.

I started right before the pandemic and during lockdown I started posting family story’s and my experience of being in Milan, Italy getting the last train to Switzerland to start quarantine. My process to return to America and from there everything picked up fast on social media. Felt like it was the right time for me. I kept things up beat and appreciated the fashion post challenges that allowed us to express ourselves with them.

What is the best and worst thing about being a fashion, beauty, and lifestyle blogger?

The best part is fashion shows and my amazing team that has given me the confidence. The worst is wanting people to be genuinely happy for you and that’s not always the case but my children are my biggest fan’s and that’s good enough for me!

What are some of your favorite fashion trends now?

I love the old glam look of all the eras and love how we can mix it back in now.

What would you recommend to young girls who want to become influencers?

Everyone is fragile with mental health issue over watching and comparing themselves. Always remember you can take breaks and get back into it when the time is right. Everyone is beautiful! It’s refreshing to be different and unique so remember that anything that you think is weird can be your strength.

Describe your typical workday.

I always try to get a cold face mask before I eat breakfast and sit there for 20min thinking positive thoughts on how I can make this day better. Remember to push through, keep going, don’t stop till you get it right. Then normally I end my night with a good pizza!

What is a typical day for you?

Wake up to my dogs and children and start going down the to do list. I have a very busy household it’s never quiet in my house!

Who is behind the beautiful photography in your blog? Is it you?

I’ve gotten the opportunity to work with amazing people that have helped me look good on and off camera. You can see the transition of my personal picture’s to now more professional, instagram mix it all up.

Aside from blogging, what are you passionate about? What are some of your hobbies.

I love furniture and restoration projects. I always have a home decore project in the works.

Last question: what is your motto in life?

“Love yourself first, and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world.” – Lucille Ball.
