Hello, lovely people! So, that was an unplanned hiatus. I assure you it was
primarily blog related with just a tad bit of procrastination involved. 
But, but I am very excited to share with you my recent interview with a local 
magazine, 604Now, discussing the launch of She Modish and such.

Get acquainted with Maninder Sandhu of She Modish. She Modish is a 

local fashion blog inspired by the beautiful Maninder Sandhu. She Modish 

shares personal styles about all things fab, classic, and chic in Vancouver. 

1. Why did you start blogging? 

Because of the sheer delight I get in sharing styling tips with a wider audience 

while showcasing my own personal style. More importantly, I want to influence 

the younger generation as well as the contemporary women of today to develop 

their own unique style because of the instilled confidence that comes along 

with it. Also, because I am blessed with an amazing team who assist me in 

achieving this very purpose. 

2. From where do you get your fashion inspiration? 

I believe fashion inspiration is all around us; I get inspired everywhere 

from the streets of Vancouver to the runways of Milan and London. An advantage 

of living in this day and age is that we are able to gather fashion inspiration 

from a multitude of sources, namely street style blogs, runway reviews, 

and social media. 

3. What are your favourite items for spring/summer 2014? 

Oh, I am coveting multiple items for this spring/summer but my top 4 

favourites (in no particular order) would have to be midi skirts, ankle straps, 

floral pieces, and wide leg pants 

4. Your blog is titled “She Modish” but are there any particular 

trends you stay away from? 

There’s nothing in particular I stay away from and some trends do fit 

seamlessly into my personal style but I am watchful about jumping from 

trend to trend because I feel in doing so, one fails to invent their own 

unique style. 

5. How has living in Vancouver influenced your style? 

Vancouver’s streets are most definitely inundated with well dressed 

individuals, beautiful architecture, and aesthetically pleasing art which all play 

a role in influencing my style. However, as I mentioned earlier, the beauty 

of today’s technology allows me to access styles and trends from the farthest 

corners of the globe and I absolutely love integrating some international flare 

into my wardrobe. 

6. Favourite places to shop? 

I probably indulge in virtual shopping more than visiting a physical retail store. 

But, locally, I mostly shop at Peril Threads, Hudson’s Bay, Topshop, and Zara. 

And, when I’m in the mood to splurge, I head over to Holt Renfrew. As for 

my favourite online stores, you would find Neiman Marcus, Farfetch, and Off 

Fifth as the top bookmarked sites on my laptop 

7. Is blogging a full time job for you? Or is it simply a fun hobby? 

It’s actually a bit of both. It started as a fun hobby and has now led me to a 

number of great opportunities. I was recently selected as a featured fashion 

blogger for Click Lounge, a new talk show focused on local lifestyle, health, and 

fashion topics. Another one of my favourite perks of being titled a fashion 

blogger would be being able to work with local designers, namely Hannah 

Dorothy and to meet likeminded individuals. Aside from blogging, I am 

soon pursuing a law degree. 

8. Favourite places in the city? 

Exploring Gastown, strolling through the cherry-blossomed streets and 

local boutiques, soaking up the rare sun rays at English Bay, grabbing a 

chai tea from Breka Cafe and dining at Italian Kitchen and Salaam Bombay. 

9. You state you “hope to make your style worthwhile?” Can you 

expand on that? 

I state “hope to make your stay worthwhile” and what I mean by that is 

I hope my readers find valuable fashion advice via my blog. I want She 

Modish to be more than just a series of pretty and prim pictures. I want 

my readers to come to my blog and get inspired to explore their own 

fashionable selves. 

10. Describe your typical day. 

Currently in my life, there is no such thing as a typical day as each day 

presents new opportunities, challenges, and exciting ventures. But there 

is always one certainty and that is indulging in my favourite cup of morning tea. 

stay stylish,
Maninder
