We had the good fortune of connecting with Farrah Estrella and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Farrah, is there something that you feel is most responsible for your success?
Consistency. If you really want something you have to keep working at it and not give up because it’s hard.. I would also say being able to adapt and move with the times is very important.

Alright, so let’s move onto what keeps you busy professionally?
I am fashion, beauty and lifestyle influencer based out of Tampa, Florida. My blog, The Estrella Fashion Report was founded in 2012, and we are turning 10 this year. I’m so proud of everything that I’ve done in the past 10 years. It has been incredible. This blog started as a labor of love for fashion but it has evolved into more than that and it has helped me grow as a person and a business woman. When I first started, I never thought this could be a business. I was just doing it for fun as a hobby, then it became a side hustle and now it’s a full time business. I had many challenges along the day and I have learned a lot about business and community. My biggest lesson is to stay true to yourself and know that it will get better. Stay consistent, work hard and have fun. Don’t forget to have fun!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
I would take them to the The Dominican Republic, that’s where I am from. I am proud to be Dominican. I love Punta Cana, Las Terrenas and Jarabacoa. D. R is beautiful! From the food, to the people everything about it’s amazing. We also have beautiful beaches and rivers. That’s where I would go and take anyone with me.

Shoutout is all about shouting out others who you feel deserve additional recognition and exposure. Who would you like to shoutout?
There are so many people that have touched my life in some type of way and made it better.. Too many to thank and I don’t want to forget anyone but I do want to give a big shoutout to Marie Denee of the Blog “The Curvy Fashionista”. She really helped me a lot. She gave me a lot of good advice when it comes to business and how to grow in the influencer space.
