It’s been a while since I’ve caught up with anyone, but Ariana Pierce is here to change all of that. Unfortunately she makes me look lazy as she has written a book and has a nail polish line and I have about a decade on her ha! She is truly an inspiration, and is super girly which I’m super into. If this gal doesn’t make you turn off Vanderpump Rules reruns and get your act together nothing will! Enjoy!
I love your style that seems to include lots of
neutrals! Any tips for dressing in neutrals?

Thank you so much! I
absolutely love neutrals because they are so clean and fresh for the season.
Recently, I’ve started to add in at least one pop of color when I wear neutrals
to bring my look to life. Though I love blush pink, nudes and blacks, I’ve noticed
that bright colors are fun and dress up my look. If you are also a person who
likes neutrals, I would say don’t be afraid to play with color. This season is all
about bold prints and hues, and a great way to incorporate that is with your
accessories.

I definitely agree! What is a shopping weakness for you?
Do you have a go-to outfit?

A shopping weakness
for me is a fabulous pair of flats from ASOS. Though I feel like I have a million
pair, I can never pass up on a comfy and fabulous pair of shoes.

My go-to outfit is a
casual, everyday dress. It’s easy to slip on and can be worn with a cute pair
of flats. It’s literally my daily office look!

Do you have a special recipe or favorite food
you make often you’d like to share?

I don’t have a
special recipe I go to often, but I do have a special drink that I love. Kale,
apple and ginger smoothies are a must. They give me so much energy and keep my
skin clear and pimple free.

Amazing…and healthy! Do you have a favorite book you like to
recommend to your girlfriends?
recommend to your girlfriends?
A book that I have
recommended to my girlfriend’s is, #AskGaryVee: One entrepreneur’s take on
leadership, social media & self-awareness by Gary Vaynerchuk. So many of my friends are either bloggers or
business owners, so I felt this book was a must. It answers burning questions
to successfully running a business and building it online.

Do you have any secret talents or hobbies?
I absolutely love singing.
I don’t do it professionally, at least yet, but it’s something that I do daily.
I’ve taken signing lessons over the years and have even recorded some song.
It’s something I keep to myself, but I love music.

Your Instagram photos are so often beautiful,
fun and feminine! Any tips for taking such excellent lifestyle shots?
fun and feminine! Any tips for taking such excellent lifestyle shots?
Thank you so much
for that compliment! Some advice I would give for excellent lifestyle shots is
to find a color and pattern scheme. I like pinks and flowers, so I try to
incorporate that all throughout my @AriTheHeiress page. Now this doesn’t mean that every picture has
to meet those requirements, but my overall page has those qualities. Also, I
would suggest taking your photos during the day with natural sunlight. This way
you are able to capture the true beauty of your subject.

You look like you’re in great shape, any
fitness tips?
fitness tips?
I’m not a fitness
guru, but my main way of staying healthy and in shape is eating lots of whole
foods. My daily food intake consists of lots of veggies, protein, water and
green tea. This helps me to stay on track and fit. I recently read, I Quit Sugar, by Sarah Wilson that has really helped me stay
healthy because she offers so many awesome alternatives to enjoy.

Oh my gosh that sounds so difficult! Photos you’ve shared of your home are amazing!
What helped you put together such a pretty space?

The secret to my
amazing home is my mother! She does a fabulous job at interior designing. I
always joke with her that she should add that job title to her resume because
she can make any place beautiful. I love art, so I definitely add my personal
touch with lots of paintings to my gallery wall.

Can you recommend any bloggers or celebs you
look to for style inspiration or tips?
look to for style inspiration or tips?
A celebrity that I
look to for style inspiration is JLo. She seems to always get it right with her
outfits. The color, fit and patterns she wears compliment her figure so well.
Plus, her body is serious inspiration!

Serious indeed haha. Do you have any advice for bloggers?
Some advice I would
give to bloggers is to be consistent and find your voice. Why finding your
voice is so important is because the blogging world is becoming saturated with
the same kind of bloggers. If you want to stand out in this industry, you must
first ask yourself what you are an expert at, and once you figure that out,
deliver content in a way that can help others in their lives. Like I explain in
my new book, How to Build Your Blogging Business…In a Week, if you offer solutions to others everyday
problems, whether it be fashion, business, home or kid advice, it will cause
you to be an expert in your field and the go-to person for answers.
