Revolutionizing the concept of Fashion Blogging, Mawi Neitham from Meghalaya is on a mission!

 | 

"The blogging scene in India is still very laidback in comparison to foreign countries and many people still do not get the whole idea of blogging. Blogging is not only about wearing clothes, pose for the camera and upload it on social media for thousands of people to see. It's so much more than that and it's time people realise this."

Mawi Neitham from Shillong, Meghalaya is one of the most trending bloggers on the scene, thanks to her bargainous and yet glam style. Every post on Mawi's blog is so elegantly put together and truly captures her style. Mawi's Vintage, a wonderful fashion lifestyle blog that is filled with classic wardrobe pieces and beauty posts to help you look and feel your best.  Recently, she took time out from updating her blog, to give us some insight on her style, what trends she loves! Keep reading for the low down.

TNT- Hi Mawi, could you start by telling us a bit about yourself?

Mawi- Hey! Well, in short I am a Christian, a Creative Thinker, a Perfectionist and lover of all things Fashion.  Also, I am obsessed with Selena Gomez!

TNT- Can you tell us about your blog, and what inspired you to start it?

Mawi- My blog is a reflection of myself and my personal style. Being a college girl who's constantly on a budget, I decided to start a fashion blog which focuses on budget shopping and my thrift store finds. I believe that fashion does not always come with a heavy price tag and that's exactly what I try to convey everyone through my blog.

TNT- Do you have any fashion rules when putting an outfit together?

Mawi- Fashion for me is all about having fun and not being afraid of experimenting so I don't stick to any rules as such. The only thing one should keep in mind while deciding an outfit is 'Comfort is Key' because if you're not comfortable, you'll never have the confidence to pull off any outfit.

TNT- Where do you find the inspiration for your blog posts?

Mawi- Pinterest and Tumblr are my best friends when it comes to finding shoot inspirations when I'm working on an editorial post. But for an outfit post, it's all about my style so let's just say the inspiration comes from within. (haha)

TNT- What do you splurge on?

Mawi- As I already mentioned, I'm constantly on a budget, so I try and avoid splurging as much as I can but every once in a while I do save up and buy a good pair of shoes or a nice branded Bag because Bags and Shoes are my weakness!

TNT- What do you find the most frustrating aspect of blogging?

Mawi- It definitely has to be the fact that most of the time people take you lightly. The blogging scene in India is still very laidback in comparison to foreign countries and many people still do not get the whole idea of blogging. Blogging is not only about wearing clothes, pose for the camera and upload it on social media for thousands of people to see. It's so much more than that and it's time people realise this.

TNT- What's the biggest tip you have for anyone wanting to start a fashion blog or website?

Mawi- Just be real and always be your true self if you want to connect with your readers and followers. The second thing is, try to be consistent in your blogpost as much as you can.

TNT- Who does your photography?

Mawi- I do not have any fixed photographer as such. When I first started my blog, it was my friends who helped me with the photographs but now I have started working with professional photographers.

TNT- How many times a week do you post?

Mawi- I try and post at least once a week in spite of my heavy college work but whenever I can, I do post at least twice weekly. I took a break from blogging for almost a month but now I'm all pumped up and motivated so you can expect a lot of posts in the coming days!

TNT- We wish you lots of luck for your future endeavours.

Mawi- Thanks a lot guys!
