Getting to know…Amy of Fancy Pants

Tell us a bit about yourself. 

My name is Amy Scheepers and I am a photographer currently living in Port Elizabeth. I also blog at Fancy Pants (fancypantstheblog.com) and that’s all about my personal style and photography. I take photo’s and read quite a bit in my spare time. I also love watching good movies and series.

What inspires you?

If I see a beautiful landscape it inspires me. Illustrations and pictures do too. When light falls in a particular way, that inspires me the most.

Your favourite places to visit in South Africa?

Cape Town and Transkei in general. Vovo Telo in Richmond Hill, Kalk Bay, Milnerton market, Woodlands eatery, and Seals beach.

What does vintage mean to you?

I think vintage refers to clothing 20 years and older. When it’s beautifully crafted and made to last. And I think brands throw that term around way too loosely.

Your favourite blogs/websites?

Fashion Toast for the clothes and Man Repeller for the writing. Natalie off duty and Color Me Nana for the beautiful clothing and photography – they tell a story with their blogs and their passion for life comes through in their writing. Love Aesthetics for Ivania’s incredible, and simple, taste. Kastor & Pollux and The Ordinary People because those girls have killer style and I enjoy their writing. Kayture because she has really good photo’s and Le Blog de Betty because I am envious of everything she wears. Oh and One Of Each - she rarely updates these days but I love her style.
