Twitter Tuesday, brought to you by:
I remember JoAnn's blog being one of the first blogs I ever visited and bookmarked. I loved her sincere style of writing, the sweetness that is about her, and of course her fabulous photos!! Her fashion style is straight out of another era and I was instantly hooked!! She has such a great, close relationship with all of her readers and I'm so proud to call myself one of them. Visit her blog, and you too, will be adding her to your daily reading list.
Love you JoAnn!!
JoAnn currently lives in Athens, GA and has been blogging at Sidewalk Chic for about a year and a half.
She loves the colors red and green
and her fashion icon is Ingrid Bergman.
"I really would like her entire wardrobe from Casablanca."
JoAnn's favorite time of day is early in the day -- the best time to get a lot of things done.
Her favorite way to relax would include Coke Zero, listening to her Pandora radio stations, going to the movies and then spending some time at trivia with her friends.
Let's learn more about my super sweet Twitter Tuesday Buddy!!
What
was your initial goal for your blog when you first began, and how has
that changed today?
JoAnn: My sister and I started the blog together and named it Sidewalk Chalk, and it was a way for us to share our fashion and childhood favorites. When she left the blog, it came under my sole discretion, and I started to focus on my own photography. I renamed it Sidewalk Chic to reflect the new change in direction.

Describe your style
JoAnn: I'm really drawn to a lot of vintage and romantic-looking pieces -- so if it's got ruffles, florals or an interesting pattern, I'm probably into it.

Where
do you draw your fashion inspiration from?
JoAnn: So many places -- I most often take my photos outside in different landscape settings, and so often my outfit will often match the colors from my environment. I also find a lot of inspiration from many different bloggers out there.

How
many hours a day/week do you spend working on your blog?
JoAnn: About 20 hours, and most of it is spent driving out to different sites for photos. My tripod is one of my dear companions on these treks.

Where is your favorite place to shop?
JoAnn: Thrift stores. There's this one Salvation Army near my old home that is a treasure trove of vintage clothing at discount prices. When I feel like shopping for new items, I often go to LOFT or Banana Republic.

What "must haves" will you be adding to
your Spring wardrobe?
JoAnn: I don't know that I'll be adding too much to my wardrobe this spring because I think I've reached my tipping point in dress collecting, but I do plan on getting some alterations this spring. I'm looking forward to having my clothes fit me better.

JoAnn: My favorite item of clothing is my French Connection white lace dress. I found it while I lived in NYC for a summer internship, but didn't have the guts to wear it everyday. A year later, I wore it to my wedding reception. I wear it often now.
Do you have any advice for new bloggers who
are just getting started?
JoAnn: With so many voices already in the blog world, one of the hardest things to do is to just start writing and taking photos. Just get into the practice of writing everyday and you'll get into a stride and find your voice. I've also found that I've gotten more passionate about it by making friends with and learning from people who were interested in style blogging, too.

If you have a career besides blogging, what do you do?
JoAnn: I work as a technical writer for an editing service, but I'm hoping to make a career change into advertising/marketing.
Where do you see yourself in 2 years?
JoAnn: I wish I had a crystal ball for that, but I hope I'll be happy.
