What inspired you to create your fabulous blog?

I work in the fashion industry and have always been inspired by many aspects of design. For years I have kept files and files of my inspiration (mainly composed of magazine tears) and realized that I would love to find a way to share them with others. And just like that I decided to start Daily Cup of Couture composed of all the beautiful things in life I absolutely adore. 

You are currently planning your wedding--how is that going?  Where do you get your inspiration? 

I must say that I absolutely LOVE planning my wedding.. I truly am one of those girls who has been waiting to plan her wedding all her life.. Some may find it bizarre, but for years I have kept wedding inspiration in my personal "design files" and I literally have every single issue Town & Country Weddings and Martha Stewart Weddings from the last 5 years. From the moment I got engaged I have spent countless hours searching for the perfect inspiration that will make the day feel very much like my personal style. I particularly loving reading wedding blogs (Style Me Pretty, Merci, and Snippet & Ink - are amongst my favorite daily reads) and wedding magazines (British Wedding Magazines are my current obsession). 

What is your idea of the perfect fun girls night out? 

There is nothing better than sharing a lovely dinner over bottles of champagne with my dearest friends. 

What is the greatest gift you ever received? 

My engagement ring - not only because it is simply stunning, but because I received it from the most amazing man in the world.
