stylonylon interviews Ella Gregory

One of the UK’s top fashion blogs, Coco’s Tea Party was launched in 2006 by stylist and fashion journalist Ella Gregory. Ella blogs an intoxicating mix of daily celebrity news, magazine covers, catwalk collections and shopping. Plus, of course, a scattering of the ever popular What I Wore outfit posts. In 2012, Ella was featured in the Independent’s “Twitter 100” feature and collaborated with River Island on a Coco’s Tea Party accessories collection. Here, she tells us a bit about blogging and her style.

1. What are the key things that have contributed to your blogging success?
Hard work. But beyond that I have a real passion for blogging, so that obviously makes it easier to dedicate so much time to making Coco’s Tea Party a success. I also try to read as much as possible, as it’s impossible to constantly have new story ideas if you’re not up-to-date with the latest fashion/celebrity news.

2. What key pieces of clothing and accessories can’t you live without?
Skinny jeans are my number one. I wear them year round. J Brand and James Jeans are my favourite designer labels, and on the high street I like Topshop. In winter I live in oversized knits – this season I’m crazy about my Elizabeth and James knit – and in summer it’s all about tank tops and lightweight jackets.

3. What is on your shopping wish list right now? Have you bought anything in the January sales?
I haven’t actually bought anything in the sales. At the moment I’m searching for the perfect pair of leather leggings (I’m not sure they even exist!) and stocking up on printed shirts for Spring 2013.
