Thank you so much to the beautiful Rose for my first ever nomination, I’m so grateful. Please, if you see this, go and check out Rose’s amazing blog, and find some stylish fashion inspiration.
Despite long break periods with no posts, I’ve been blogging on and off for around 9 months. After finishing my studies, I feel I am back on track with blogging, and feel inspired to share my fashion with the world of WordPress (and Instagram). It feels amazing to have been recognised by a fellow blogger, thank you so much Rose, I really appreciate the support ❤
I’ve never heard of this award until now, and if you guys are in the same boat, here are the rules:
- So first of all, start with a little bit about yourself.
- Next, answer the questions set by your tagger.
- Share 11 random facts about yourself.
- Now create a new set of questions for your own nominees.
- And finally tag your own inspirational bloggers you wish to nominate.
1. What made/got you to start blogging?
I set up my blog at the end of last year (2013) whilst in the process of applying for fashion related university courses. When I had finally taken the plunge and applied for the courses, it sort of confirmed my love for fashion, and it was from that moment I felt like a blog would be the perfect way to share my passion, with others who adore the industry.
2. What do you think makes your blog different from others?
I’d like to think that my blog is more realistic than some others, in the way that my outfits are (definitely) not all runway worthy, but in fact everyday, comfortable outfits. Obviously there are times I like to take the effort, but it would be far from the truth to say I dress like that on a day to day basis.
3. What’s your go-to outfit?
I think I have a few go-to outfits, but jumpsuits are always a good option, as they eliminate the whole ‘what top goes with these bottoms’ dilemma!
4. Your favourite outfit/post since you started your blog?
I quite like the Summer Pastels post/outfit. I’m loving the subtle pastel colours this season, and feel this outfit is comfortable and can be dressed up or down, making it suitable for a nice shopping date in town or a slightly dressy meal out.
5. Who are your favourite/inspirational bloggers?
Through WordPress, and quite recently Instagram, I have found so many inspirational bloggers it’s unreal! Find some of my favourites HERE, HERE, HERE and an old favourite HERE. There are so many more though!
6. What is something that you can never live without?
Maybe a controversial answer here (as I’m guessing this is fashion/beauty related) but I’m going to say my family (friends included!).
7. If I was to look in your closet, what would I see most of?
My wardrobe is quite odd, it’s like 50% black, grey and understated, and the other half is crazy bold colours, patterns, etc…
8. What do you always pack with you when you go on vacation?
Bikinis, day time pool/beach wear, crop tops etc are always needed. Then I always ensure I have plenty of going out, occasion wear for the evenings (a few night clubbing outfits thrown in!). I love summer colours, brights and pastels, or a simple, classic black, white or both look.
9. What’s the one piece that girls/boys should always pack with them?
Super stylish flip-flops/sandals! Perfect for days on the beach, splashing around the pool, or even evenings cocktails! Always add a touch of summer to any outfits, and these days the choice of incredibly stylish flip-flops (and sandals) are amazing! (Check out these to add a sparkle, or Mel’s collection of jelly flip-flops, perfect for day or night).
10. Ideal vacation place.
I love to travel, fashion and culture wise I love the fashion capitals! I’ve visited London and Paris too many times in the last 18 months, but I don’t think I’ll ever visit enough! So having visited London and Paris, the other two fashion capitals are next on the list, Milan and New York! Pefect for a city break. But, having said that, I do love my summer holidays, so would definitely not turn down a beach, pool and cocktail vacation!
11 random facts about myself:
- I have different coloured eyes (green and brown, although for some reason they were green and blue as a child?)
- Last year I went crazy, dying my hair pink, purple blue and green in the space of about 4/5 months!
- I’m super indecisive! I literally pass as much responsibility as I possibly can onto others, to avoid choosing for myself!
- I’ve just finished my ALevels, after taking a year out of studies the year before last.
- I am currently debating whether or not to dye my hair colourful again, but with this indecisiveness i’ll never get round to choosing!
- I received a conditional offer to study the Fashion Management course at UAL, London College of Fashion earlier this year, to hopefully start this September coming, now it’s a waiting game! Super nervous for exam results!
- I have an obsession for Mel jelly shoes, in particularly the Vivienne Westwood collaborations!
- I’m so unphotogenic, making a fashion blog very difficult! I hate posting photos of my face!
- I’ve recently made an Instagram account to post my daily fashion, lifestyle photographs, linking it in with my WordPress blog. Follow, follow, follow- @welcometomegsworld
- I hope to travel much more, and make use of my ALevel photography, in order to capture my adventures!
My set of questions are as follows:
- Why did you start blogging?
- What’s your preference, Bold, Understated, or Classic?
- Favourite wardrobe essential?
- Where is the best place you have travelled, and why did you like it?
- Is your love of fashion purely a hobby, or a potential career path?
- Who is your top celebrity style icon at the moment?
- Heels or flats?
- Where is your favourite place to shop (fashion wise)?
- What is your most expensive fashion splurge!?
- What colour is most prominent in your wardrobe?
- What is your favourite activity?
