I have never {repeat: never} done a Follow Friday post on someone that I haven’t met or that is an acquaintance of some sort. That is, until American expat Amy Fohr e-mailed me all the way from Dubai. Instantly intrigued as to how a fashionista went from Florida to New York and then Dubai I clicked on her blog Leopard & Lillies and just like that, it was love at first site. Not only did I fall head over heels for Amy’s impressive bag collection, but her cheerful editorials and overall positive attitude. Her blog is a prime example of how you can be a fashion blogger no matter where you live {in fact, I think it’s even cooler that she lives in Dubai and blogs, don’t you!?}.
