Tell us about the concept of Five Five Fabulous.
I came up with the concept for Five Five Fabulous by accident, it started off as a place to document my struggles in the fashion industry and then evolved into a blank canvas from which I could express my thoughts, opinions and views on the industry.

You cover many different subjects…fashion, beauty, events…what is your favourite thing to write about?
I love blogging about style. It’s also always fun to feature latest campaigns and lookbooks. I have just begun blogging images from my Blackberry photo album as it’s the most used camera I own!

What are the best and worst things about working with your sister?
I actually love working with my sister, mainly because we have such different personalities but we’re really similar when it comes to views on the fashion industry. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not the easiest of collaborations but because we’re such close sisters we can go from screaming to laughing in a matter of minutes.

You spend your time between London, Lebanon and Dubai…how does all this traveling influence your style?
I actually spend most of my time in London, it’s my base, I’ve just moved into a gorgeous flat and don’t want to leave it at all! Dubai is somewhere I love to escape to, even though it’s usually always a business trip, I have so many friends there that it’s counted as pleasure also. Lebanon I’m afraid to say I don’t get to visit very often, however I’m extremely proud to be Lebanese and it’s somewhere I will always consider home.

How has Five Five Fabulous evolved since you founded it?
Five Five Fabulous has evolved in so many ways. The content for one. Now that we’ve grown to an international audience there’s been so many opportunities for original content. For example, blogging about my experiences as an ambassador for Sunsilk and also for Puma. The imagery has evolved a lot also! At the beginning I was experimenting with different layouts, and now I feel as though we have a really strong signature style for our visuals.

What are your future plans for the blog?
I would love to bring in some guest bloggers in the future, maybe make time for some more interview videos and possibly explore the possibilities of expanding what kind of content we cover. Right now I’m just going with the flow.

Who is your favourite emerging designer?
I love Leila Kashanipour and her label ‘LeiVanKash’. Definitely one to watch.

Who, in your opinion, is the most timeless designer?
There is no doubt about it that Chanel is the answer to that question. It will be a happy day for the Kanj sisters when we get to that point in our lives and are able to pop into Paris for a quick Chanel splurge.

You are known for your love of accessories…which jewelry designers are your favourite?
I am in love with Annoushka, a fabulous jewelry designer based in London. She designs the most incredible pieces. I’m also a big fan of Tag Huer for watches. I’ve been wearing Tag’s since I was 11, so I’m very loyal.

What was the best fashion event you have ever attended?
Recently Burberry held a launch for their Burberry Brit store in Covent Garden and it was a wonderful event. I had the pleasure of meeting Christopher Bailey for the first time and my favourite Burberry girl, Cara Delevingne.

What was your last purchase?
I most recently bought a Marc By Marc Jacobs cosmetics bag for a friend’s birthday present and some Hudson pants as a gift for my mum. I was online shopping and for some reason couldn’t decide on anything for myself!

What fashion item will you buy for summer?
I will probably be buying some bright colours for my summer wardrobe. I’m loving the bright trend and feeling brave!

Which trends should we watch out for this Fall/Winter?
Fall 2011 is going to see a definite continuation of colour, it will be toned down however. I always love layering for the autumn and I’m also excited to see how the high street will channel the 40’s trend.

Which celebrity´s style do you admire?
Love, Love Love Blake Lively, she looks fantastic in everything she wears! Also Daisy Lowe, her stylists are a fabulous duo.

Do you prefer online or “real-life” shopping?
To be honest with the lack of ‘free’ time I get and the amount of time I’m online, I’ve begun to embrace online shopping, it’s so convenient and I normally am a lot more open to try new things then if I was in a store.

What importance do social networks have for you?
The utmost importance. I adore the fact that Twitter and Facebook are my answer to ‘micro-blogging’. Also, as I’m normally travelling a lot and have friends and family all over the world, social networks are a life saver for keeping in touch.

What is your top fashion tip?
Always wear your confidence. It’s hard to afford what I blog about daily, so being head to toe in high street standing next to someone dripping in high end, you may feel as though you’re not ‘really’ fashionable. However my confidence has always elevated my fashion choices higher than any high end piece!

What beauty product can´t you live without?
I can’t go anywhere without my Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream, I carry it around everywhere with me and I’m stocked up for months in advance usually.

What is your favourite thing to do when you are not blogging?
I love to cook. I’ve just bought a ton of cook books and love to experiment with new dishes from different cuisines. It’s my second favourite thing to do, and that includes the eating part!

How do you think fashion blogging will change in the next 5 years?
I’m not too sure, but I do hope that Five Five Fabulous will still be a part of it.

Tic Tac…60 seconds are up! Thank you, Reem!
