What's the first thing you do in the morning?
I check my Instagram, have breakfast, change the colour of my nail polish and answer e-mails.
What are your everyday wardrobe staples?
A bag, pair of sunglasses (in the summer months), a sweater and a pair of sneakers.
What books are on your bedside table?
How To Be A Parisian Wherever You Are by Caroline de Maigret.
Do you have a motto?
Enjoy the little things.
What influences your great style choices?
I’m inspired by daily life - my biggest source of inspiration is street style. I love to browse through Instagram and Pinterest. I also find inspiration from movies, music, art, food, fashion shows, magazines and blogs.
Where's your favourite place?
New York City - I love the energy.
Who are the up-and-coming designers we should look out for?
Alessandro Enriquez, Amedeo Piccione and Charlie May.
What's the best piece of advice you've ever received?
Stay true to yourself.
Why did you start LindaTol.com?
Next to my blog, I'm working as a trend-watcher for L'Oréal Paris and I’m also a freelance journalist for Glamour Italia - I give presentations about styling and trends. Lindatol.com is my online portfolio. It's about my style, my love and passion for fashion, beauty, my travels and my experiences – all of the things I love in life.
What's your beauty must-haves?
YSL Kiss and Blush, L'oreal Eau de teint foundation, La Prairie Face Scrub, Chanel hydra beauty Lip Care and Smashbox Eye Primer. When it comes to lipstick I don't have a favourite brand - I love to try new products. But, right now, I'm addicted to Candy Yum Yum from MAC Cosmetics, Smashbox longwear lip lacquer and L'Oréal Color Riche l'Extraordinaire Liquid Lipstick. For nail polish I always turn to Chanel, Dior, OPI or Essie. The perfume I choose to wear depends on my mood, but currently on my table is: Fendi Furiosa, Chanel Coco Noir and Giorgio Armani Prive: Figuier Eden Fig.
What are your ambitions for this year?
This year, I started working as a freelance contributor for Glamour Italia - one of my dreams has come true. I would love to grow and to expand my name worldwide, but I'm very happy to experience all the things I'm doing right now.
