Fashion was not the first career choice for 25-year-old Mary Solorzano, but since she started her blog, Mary wears boots, her thinking and lifestyle changed.
This Girl to Watch was born in Puerto la Cruz, Venezuela, but lives in Buenos Aire, Argentina, and graduated as a lawyer. But it was in 2015 that she decided to open her website and enter the world of fashion. “I never set the goal of being a blogger (of course, I had always liked it, but I did not think I would end up dedicating myself to it); at the beginning, it was spontaneous, I did photo shoots with my boyfriend, who was starting as a photographer, and I loved doing them. Then I uploaded them to my networks and started receiving good comments, which all started from there”.
This blogger, who has taken courses on social networks, says that fashion is the best way to express yourself, so she recommends being yourself when dressing.
Moda Ahora spoke with her at the beginning of the year, and she told us a little more about her career and why she loves boots so much.
How did you start the blog and your love for boots?
I started my blog project in 2015. My first blog postings were on September 22, 2015; a little later, I announced it on my social networks on October 25, 2015.
I quote my love for boots from my first blog post -It all started when I was a little girl, and I was given pink rain boots; I loved them and didn’t want to take them off; I wore them all the time; I didn’t care if it wasn’t raining.
When you started your blog, were there already bloggers in the same place you live?
Yes, many have been great inspirations.
How does fashion develop in the city where you live?
Buenos Aires, fashion seems to be at its best; there are many amazing designers and fashion events in all seasons.
What are the most critical events in the city and the country?
The fashion week – Argentina Fashion Week.
Has your blog opened doors for you to meet new cities?
Yes, I find it very inspiring to see new places.
How do brands and designers treat bloggers in your city/country?

In your opinion, how has fashion developed in your city in the last three years?
I’ve been in Buenos Aires for almost a year; since I arrived, I have seen continuous growth in fashion, and influencers are more critical daily.
Have you heard about Latin American fashion? What things?
I have heard that Colombia and Mexico host the best events in Latin America.
How would you define your look?
I would say it is varied; I like to experiment with trends and have a lot of fun; I am a fan of boots and sunglasses (they are rarely missing in my looks).
What do you want to project with this one?
I like to speak through my looks so that they can say who I am, and that’s what I want for the girls who follow me, to be that friend who can help them find their style and accept themselves as they are; that’s the most important thing for me in what I do.
What is the must-have accessory in every fashion lover’s closet?
Leather and denim jacket.
What are the following plans for your blog?
Now my new project is in process, a Youtube channel; it will be of the day-to-day places I know and allow me to interact even more with my followers.
