Writing a blog. It's a fun thing to do. People always ask me how to start a blog, but it's actually pretty simple. If you have a creative mind and lots of time on hands, why not start a blog? I like to think, but I don't like to keep my thoughts to myself. That's the reason I blog to share my random thoughts on life, fashion and other boring stuff.     1. Decide what you're gonna blog about. First things first. What are you going blog about? There are so many choices to choose from. You could go down the Susanna Lau (Style Bubble) and Tavi Gevinson (Style Rookie) route and be a fashion blogger or go down the Zoe Sugg (Zoella) and be a beauty blogger. You can also music blogger, book blogger, lifestyle blogger- you can blog about anything you like!     2. Pick a platform. Picking a platform to blog from could be the hardest thing to do. When I started blogging, I didn't really know other blogging platforms except Blogger . Luckily because of me you n...

1. Kalmanovich S/S 16 The photos above were not taken by me, nor do they belong to me. The photos above are just a few examples of the admirable Summer/ Spring 16 collection by Kalmanovich. That's right, even though I haven't been blogging so much recently, I've kept the Vogue Collection app wide open.  After looking at the entire collection by Kalmanovich, they've became one of my favourite designers. The 90's look in their collection is just so...cool. Maybe it's the tights worn in the second outfit, or the chocker worn in all or them. Whatever it is, I'm obsessed!  The sling dress worn in outfit number 4 is so popular. I keep on seeing it on every designers S/S collection. I love it! I want it! I need it!  See the full collection at:  2. Ashish S/S 16 The Ashish collection. Once again sling dresses and originally were shown in this collection. The clothes look super awesome and very skater girl like, especially in outfit number 4....

As you know I'm currently in secondary school also known 'high school' and 'the worst best times of your life.' I can't say i'm like every other teenage girl my age. I don't go too much parties, nor do I enjoyed the ones I go to and I rather spend my teen years locked away in bedroom, ALONE! But, there's something else that separates me from other girls my age. I have a blog. This blog . I can probably count 1 million people that have asked me why I have a blog. I don't blame them. Having a blog in my school mean that you're instantly labeled as a weirdo. I never really cared, as being labeled as weirdo was much more better than being labeled as an 'average normal teenage girl'.  Being normal was never something I wanted. Standing out was something I've always wanted. When I was younger I always wore weird accessorizer and a backpack that stood out just so I could be different. I said weird things so people don't...

Okay so here's a little confession. I'm sometimes a little jealous of my idol, Tavi Gevinson. Then again, who wouldn't be. When she was my age (14) she was being featured in magazines or smiling cheek to cheek with Anna Wintour at Paris Fashion Week.  And then there's me. Finishing off the final episodes of The Walking Dead in bed, while eating a bowl of CocoPops cereal, admiring Tavi from the sidelines. Oh life! I don't want to get into all the Fashion Weeks that have been going on but... CAN WE JUST TALK ABOUT HOW RAD GUCCI WAS?! The Gucci collection was viewed at Milan Fashion Week that I was unable to go to because of school and the fact that I live in England. Luckily, thanks to social media, I got to see a lot if videos of the beautiful collection. Sara Mower described the collection as "geeky, girly, vintage-like..." I'll describe it as a totally rad 60s-70s modern geek chic collection. I dont know if its only me but I think a...
