VIDEO “MY TED TALK”

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kGBQApX1c_c]

I’ve officially become a TED speaker, I cant believe it!!! :D … You have no idea how nervous and scared I was of messing up, but I did it and I am so proud of myself for facing my fear. I believe that very few things can compare to the feeling you get when you decide to face your fears and you succeed.

THANK YOU to all of you who have watched my TED talk and have emailed me, tweeted me and messaged me words of support, I am incredibly happy and honored to hear such a good reaction, I was not expecting so many amazing messages! :)

  1. This is video was THE motivation for me to start a blog.
    Since I was 5 years old I really like drawing fashion figures.
    Unfortunately I didn’t learn to sew, but I’m learning it myself and I have already done a course.
    My dream is to inspire people with my fashion illustrations and that’s why I started my blog “everything is makeable”.
    Andy, thank you for inspiring me!
    Xx Jessy

  2. Wonderfully done! You are such an inspiration. I really liked the point about making yourself known and putting yourself out there. A lot of work goes into being found(that’s what I’m struggling with) and I think people forget about that!

    Thank you!

  3. Andy, I'm new to your blog. What a great talk; I feel lucky to have stumbled upon it! What you say is true – especially through your videos, I get a strong sense of who you are, your enthusiasm, and what inspires you to love what you do. I know it must not be easy to stay in touch with the world constantly, but thank you so much for your efforts. You are an inspiration!

  4. I really… really admire you Andy, after I hear you speak about your story of how you went through everything to get where you are now is so amazing and inspirational, to always follow and do what you love and to never give up. Thanks for being such an inspiration to all the bloggers who want to pursue this dream.Xo,Nicole D.The Owl Girl

  5. Hey Andy! Congrats! You were amazing! I was all eyes and ears to this video! You should do this more often!I think I follow your blog since the begining.

  27. OMG Andy you're such an inspired person!! I wish you the best and keep doing what you do because you do it great!! lost of lovefrom Chile southamerica!Carla.

  28. Hey Andy,You are such an inspiration for all of us. Your blog was one of the first blog I visited when I was thinking of starting one back in 2010. At this moment, I feel so bad since I am currently working on a project and my posting has delayed since nov =( I somewhat feel pressured since I don't want my readers to forget me. Also, I don't wish to write that I am busy or a bad blogger for not writing since no one forces to post. I am so glad that from time to time to read your latest post. My biggest wish is to have a comment… a word of encouragement from your part to tell me not give up. I have had so many opportunities being a blogger. I did a shopping event called FabFemmes, I was guest judge for a web TV reality show and finally a brand ambassador for a fashion online boutique. I never want you to quit. It truly gives me energy to see you out there doing your thing. Hope to meet you one day, Bisou de Montreal, Marjorie xoxowww.marjoriescloset.com

  29. Wow ontzettend goed gedaan! Je leek echt totaal niet zenuwachtig! En wow dat je toch zo ver kan komen met een blog.. dat geeft andere echt moet om verder te gaan denk ik! Ik ben idd heel trots op je! YOU GO GIRL!xoxo

  33. Amazing speech!! I'm totally agree if you're not yourself people notice. I always prefer to be myself and not feeling disguised.I'm very happy everthing is going this well for you after all the hard work!xxx

  34. Great job!I've been following your blog for a few month now and every day I am looking for new photos.Thanks for sharing this with us.Ninahttp://rnrjnk.tumblr.com

  35. Inspiring speech, I'm always very inspired by success stories like yours, it's the proof that will power is everything, that is possible to make things happen.People that discourage you from trying are the most scared by change and uncertainties. Future is often more unclear that what we may think so there is no safe way to follow, we must chase our dreams or we will regret it.

  36. I finally had time to watch it! Thank you for the great advice and it was great to see the development of your blog. Great inspiration!!!www.absurdlypeculiar.blogspot.com

  37. wow, your story is so incredibly inspiring! you are the reason I've started my fashion blog this past year and this speech is the reason I won't give up on it. You did amazing dear, you are an inspiration to fashion lovers all over the world! keep it up! xx Kailee @ http://www.themannikin.com/blog

  38. I had no idea you could sew! I recently learned to sew and I think it's really cool when I meet young people who can make their own clothing. I'd love to see you wearing something you made! Great advice, the blogosphere is really getting huge and it's so hard to stand out these days.

  39. Andy u have motivated me so much, like u i come from a third world country where fashion is not an option and therefore i have limited myself to not follow fashion as a career…now i know what i have to do :)

  40. thanks for sharing your path with us. I find it very inspiring!! my desire for fashion wasn't as strong and i studied architecture…and now practicing arch. and now i felt my passion for fashion is unearthing…it gives me hope that i will do something i love for a living.

  76. Great video Andy! I took some much from it. I really wanted to blog about me every day like you. But how much I try I figured out that for me it's impossible. Because I don't have body for those amazing clothes, I don't have any photographer I don 't have any chance. But I really admire your succes! :) You are amazing! :))http://adelinwonderland.blogspot.com/

  77. Hi Andy!You're super lovely. I've came through your blog so many times, but I've never followed because your style is not really similar to mine, but lately I've been watching your monki tv videos, and this one, and I just felt I had to tell you how amazing you are.I know that people might tell you that everyday, but I found so amazing and brave what you did (the fact that you traveled so far to follow your dreams and the fact that you were alone so many time with no results but didn't give up) that I had to say it.As you said, being yourself really works out, and now you have a new follower. ♥Marley

  78. a watch it again andd again! I'm glad that you have to talk about moving to Holland, I've always wondering about it.xxhttp://sunshowerlover.blogspot.com

  79. I love it Andy! I think I also need to overcome my fears…Congratulations for having achieved everything you wanted without giving up…And by the way I loved your look!Keep Going

  80. I feel totally inspired by this video!! I started my blog about 2 months ago!! And after listening to your speech I feel like I'm in the right track!! Love it!! By the way love that skirt!!www.ginwardrobe.blogspot.com

  81. Hi Andy! thanks for this video.Great talk!(And congratulations for being so calm while you gave this speech!)http://hotspotemily.blogspot.com/

  82. I love it Andy! My favourite piece of your advice is to be yourself, this is so key for a number of reasons. If your blog or other project/product is just copying others, there's no way to differentiate yourself obviously, as you pointed out. But maybe even more importantly, speaking in your *true* voice will keep you motivated and focused on your path, instead of watching others and trying to do what they do. It will give you personal satisfaction and an outlet for expression, which is what we're all doing this for. Even if I have no readers, I can be proud of my content, because it's true to me. Congratulations on your TED talk, be very, very proud of yourself and putting in the hard work even in the face of obstacles!! You are an inspiration to us all.

  83. Andy you're fantastic!!..Your advices are so good and real!…Please, if you have time…come to see my blog and tell me what you think about it…!You're so smart and bright!!www.camillassecrets.com

Andy, I'm so impressed about your speech.You spoke with your heart, and you've demonstrated that blogging is a serious and wonderful thing.Thank you for sharing your precious tips and thank you for helping all the bloggers who do it with huge passion and hard work to be more proud of be a blogger.As a blogger, I've appreciated a lot what you've said.Congrats and keep going on like you're doing.Sara Ottavia C.

  86. Great talk Andy ! I didn't know that much about you, it's a message of hope you're sending to all the fashion lovers saying that we can find our place in fashion if we're ready to fight, and I also started a fashion blog thinking it could help me, obviously there are much more bloggers nowadays so it's hard, plus I'm don't really look like a model but all you said was right, and I gotta say your English is perfect congrats !xxwww.coralieslooks.com – FRENCH FASHION BLOG

  95. It's been not so much time that I've been reading your blog but I find it really interesting. I also follow you on Youtube because Videoblog is something that is passionating me these days. Watching this video made me want to blog more and more and above all not letting it down.I am making a blog with 2 friends of mine and we are trying our best to be noticed as we like fashion and writing, but we came to realize how it is difficult to get comments or noticed, but seeing you explaining how you came to become this famous is pretty much impressive and inspiring to me! I'll keep reading your blog and watching your videos for sure! Thanks a lot for your advices!Shug'A'Very from Incognito http://thinkincognito-eng.blogspot.com

  96. you did a great job! it was so inspiring and exactly what I needed to hear right now! you are fantastic!Chttp://c-c-licious.blogspot.com/

  97. I am a persistent follower of your blog since last year and I use to check your blog almost every day but without posting….Today, after this awesome video I finally decided to post. Just to highlight how much I like to read you, your style is gorgeous but your closeness to your readers is even better.Wish you all the best! And continue like this….you will get so far!Congratulations from Spain,Ana.

  98. Very informative and inspiring! Really love your blog and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that I'm happy that you've persisted in making your dream come true!

  99. Andy, That was such a great speech! You shouldn't have been nervous at all! Don't worry… you couldn't tell. I just knew from past posts or tweets or something. Great job! :)

  100. Great speech, Andy! Very inspirational – but you forgot to mention that one also has to be lucky, 'cause there are so many fabulous blogs, but only few are growing bigger and bigger :)XX Miri's Castle

  101. This speech in the movie is sooo useful. On one hand, these tips are so obvious and easy to get but on the other hand when they're said, I see how I must remember about them everyday of my blogging. I have my blog for over two years now but I'm no further to your sucess. Thank you for making me believe again that dreams may come true. :)

  102. Hi Andy, I've been reading your blog for a while and I just want to say that it has been very inspirational. Thanks for doing what you do! Congrats on speaking at TED, you totally deserve it!

  103. Hi Andy, I always read your blog but rarely comment but this time it worth it! It is the first time that I see a speech from a blogger who doesn't talk only abut fashion, collaborations and success; you really transmit your passion and it is wonderful to see that there's still someone who took the best from experiences and don't think to be a star and act like this.x

  104. Andy, you're amazing! You're a great inspiration for anyone, especially for those of us who are afraid to follow their dreams. Your blog is awesome, you have a great style and you're such a sweet person! I lovelovelove your blog :) Keep posting, you're fantastic!- xx, Matildaps. I live in Helsinki, Finland and I feel like you should know that you have a great number of followers here too!

So, continue to surprise us, you already do that great!"I love you Andy' your'e my biggest inspiration!

  107. Andy! Me encantó tu speech! Totalmente inspirador… Gracias por compartirlo. Eres genial y por tu constancia te mereces el éxito que has construido… :)

  108. Me encanta todo lo que has dicho. A veces pueden parecer cosas obvias pero necesitamos que alguien nos las recuerde. Y, es toda una motivación que parte del exito de los blogs, como el tuyo, sea que eres tú mismo.Felicidades! :)Un besito

  111. Increíble discurso, esto puede ayudar a mucha gente a seguir adelante con su blog y me fascina escuchar tu historia como la de cualquier otra gente, que ha conseguido lo que se proponía desde el principio sin echarse en ningún momento atrás.

  114. Andy, as you're a super well known blogger, I used to check your blog every couple of days to see what's up, what you're wearing, where are you travelling to etc., but after watching this video I felt really connected. It was simple, personal, down to earth, professionaly given and last but not least- motivational. I loved it!
