I don't think I qualify as a fashionista, since I have a preference for classics over trends, but this little survey (copied from Jack & Hill who took it from here) is fun.
What is your favourite item in your wardrobe?
A pair of platform knee-high Emilio Pucci boots. Black leather with a fabric leg shaft in a cream, green and wine print. They make jeans and a white t-shirt look fabulous and are traffic stoppers in the best possible way.
What is your fall-back outfit?
A black and camel DVF dress in one of her vintage prints. It's effortless, comfy and always looks perfectly put together.
What is your one piece of beauty advice?
Moisturize.
Biggest fashion faux pas?
The 80s. I was a teenager, but even that is not a good enough excuse.
What aspect of fashion do you hate the most?
When people don't stop to think if a certain style or trend actually makes them look good.
How do you think people perceive you from the way you dress?
I've really struggled with this question. My look is two polar opposites: a little boho (the hair and the prints) with mostly classic items. In the end of the day, I'm both, so perhaps that's how I'm also perceived.
If you could steal anyone's wardrobe, whose would it be and why?
Sophia Loren. Especially her vintage clothes. She's fabulous now, in her 70s, and has always looked like she was having fun.
If you could change one part of your body, which would it be?
Three or four extra inches would have done me a world of good.
What are your five desert-island staples?
A good cleanser, a rich moisturizer, sunscreen, lipgloss and perfume.

I'm certainly no fashionista myself. Don't own a single designer piece of anything. But I totally agree with you that people ought to choose what suits them rather than blindly following (sometimes ridiculous) trends.
