5) Enjoy it!

1. Did other blogs convince you to start up your own?

Yes, defiantly, totally!  I had heard about blogs before but never really thought i had anything to say and that you had to be famous to write them, i was totally wrong. My blog helps me to get my ideas and opinions out as well as giving me something to do. Zoe (at Zoella) was the first blog i got into. I watched a few of her Youtube videos and then found out she had a blog. After that i found out about Louise (at Sprinkle of Glitter) and Tanya Burr and Fleur De Force and then it just went on from there. I liked how they just said what they feel.

2. Have you joined a site because someone else in the blogosphere did?
Yep, i joined Tumblr, Bloglovin', Picmonkey and Wanelo. Tumblr i joined because most people had a tumblr button on their blog and i love photography too. I emailed a lovely blogger to ask how she made her collages and she told me about picmonkey. I joined wanelo after seeing it on another blog and most people have a Bloglovin' account.

3. Is there a tip/regime you've gotten from the internet that you now use?

To wait until things go on sale before buying them and to question myself before i buy something so i know if i really want it. Not to hold down my eyelash curlers but the press a little.

4. If your favourite YouTube/Blogger personality likes a product, will that make you buy it?
It depends on if they have the same hair type, skin type, nail type and so on. I will never buy anything too expensive and i also like to look at more reviews and not just one so.

5. What do you look for in a blog that makes you want to follow?
Because pictures are normally the first thing when you click on a blog, i look that they aren't too dark and blurry (obviously if they don't have a good camera that's fine, but if the camera has been moved before it had finished taking a picture). And the blog is friendly and doesn't look like it will give me a virus or is rude. I also want it to be easy for me to look around and the posts are helpful or interesting.

6. Have you ever been decieved by a product that you ordered online? (e.g you thought it would be pink but it was coral)
A jumper looking like it isn't itchy and looks soft but when you try it on it feels scratchy and itchy. Also a coat looking like it is tucked in at the waist but actually isn't. 

7. Have promo pictures and press releases given you the impression that a product will be better than it is?
Defiantly! Mascara adverts always say that they have no clumps and look like falsies. Hair dye adverts also say that they stay on for longer then they do and will look like "salon quality"!

8. Is there a product you could give a 'cult' status for being so good that you discovered through the Internet?
O.P.I nail polish. I had heard about it before but had never tried it and thought it was really expensive. I used it at a friends house and thought that the colour was exactly what it looked like in the bottle and the brush was amazing.  

9. Is there a product you have tried and hated, but others have loved?
Bert's bees lip balm. I really hate this product because it makes my lips really dry and then they start to sting.

10. Is there a Blogger/YouTuber that influences your fashion style? If so, who?
Tavi Gevinson, i love how her outfits are so out there but totally work and she doesn't care what people think. My style is really boring at the moment because i don't have any nice winter clothes.

11. Is there a Blogger/Youtuber that influences your attitude each day/lifestyle?
Zoe, Louise, Marcus, Alfie, Joe,Jack and Finn, Tanya, Jim, Casper and all of them. They just live there life with huge smiles on their faces and always try and make everything funny. Also Zoe suffers from anxiety and panic attacks but she still goes on planes and to party's.  

12. How much time do you spend on the Internet daily?
It really depends what i am doing that day, so if i am ill or am feeling lazy i will be on it a lot but if i am going out then very little.

Camden Market Mini Haul



Hey,

I went to Camden the other day with two of my good friends. I only had £10.00 because i wanted to limit myself and it was a spontaneus decision to go. Sadly, someone took my friends purse which contained £20.00. I would highly recommend using a bag that closes with a lock or a zip rather then putting your phone or purse in your pocket for when you are going to places like markets.  

I managed to stay under budget with a few pounds to spare.  

 I brought one item trom a stall and the other two are from shops.

 I don't own a foundation and never have, i wanted something cheap because i didn't want to waste my money on something that didn't work on me. Because i was so limited for price i didn't have much choice. My skin really doesn't agree with moisturisers and i am yet to find one that works.This foundation isn't a moisturiser but some how it makes my skin feel very very smooth. I don't think it acctually covers up very well but i have only used it twice. I think the shades are really good colours and would appeal to a wide range of skin colours. But  I was a little surprised that i had to go with shade 3 (which is the middle shade) because my skin colour isn't very dark and i would have thought i was a shade 2. So if you have really light skin i wouldn't recommend it as much.

 I don't really like the name biscuit because it makes me think of a cakey crumbly look.

I like that the pakaging it just plain and simple and it states exactly what it does and what it is. It is in a glass bottle which i was a bit put off by because it might fall over and smash everywhere or get chipped and i will cut myself everytime i pick it up but at the price of £3.99 i wasn't bothered. It says it is oil free and it totally is. It doesn't make my face feel dry or tired, it just makes me feel awake and not so pale. I get bad circles under my eyes even if i sleep for a long time, and this helps to really cover them up (with a bit of help from my concealer). I have a few spots on my forehead which aren't coloured but just stick out and it doesn't cover them up.

 The next item i brought was a pair of earrings. Laterly i have been really into changing my earrings but i don't really like that a lot of my earrings are big and colourful and i don't have many plain pairs. I wouldn't call this pair plain but i also wouldn't call them big and colourful. They are the Vivienne Westwood sign in blue and pink with diamantes around the ring and in the cener of the cross. At only £2.00 they were a real deal. I wasn't sure if i should buy them or not because i was scared that they might hurt my ears because they were cheap and may be made out of really bad material. They don't hurt my ears and aren't heavy at all.  

 They match so many of my outfits and i would love if they did them in black and gold.

 I have wanted just plain rings for a while now to wear in the middle of my fingers as well as the ends. I really like H&M's jewellery because it is really cheap and really nice. The only size they had was XS/S which i was a bit annoyed about but decided to buy them because the size M proably would have been too big for the middle of my fingers. I did get them stuck on my fingers on the first day i wore them because i was at a funfair and my hands were freezing so they went swollen! In the summer my fingers will shrink so i will be able to fit them more easily.

 I really like that they are really simple but a few are more complicated. And they were only £2.99 

 I hope you like my mini haul post and i will do some more next time i by anything.

Bow Ties

Aloha,

Since i am totally new to the world of blogging i haven't work out how to schedule a post. That was until i used the trusty internet to help point out that the button was right in front of my eyes! I am also buzzing with happiness because i already have 21 followers. You probably think that is very little and i know it is but considering i only started this blog on 16th February! 

As you can see this post is going to be about bow ties. I have found one bow tie for wearing around your neck, three for your hair and two necklaces. In a post before i was wearing a home-made hair bow around my hair bun and i am going to do a tutorial soon. 

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/

A lot of the items in my latest posts have included a lot of items from Etsy, this is because you can find anything on there including vintage items. I also get a sense of joy when i order something from Etsy because i am helping a small business. I have been into American Apparel twice in the last two days, i feel like to prices are way too high for what they are. I fell in love with a watermelon printed cami made out of chiffon but the price was a massive £26.00!

The image is very fuzzy but you can just make out that the bow has tiny stripes on it. I think this would look great with a loose chiffon shirt, bandeau and high waisted denim shorts. Number 2, 4 and 5 are all hair pins from Etsy. Hair bows can be used to make a ponytail more interesting or to tie back a fringe. I think Galaxy print is a big risk for some people and if you are not sure if it suits you then it is probably good to start off with a small bit of the print maybe in a bracelet or a hair bow to see if it works.
Number 3 is from Tatty Devine which is one of my favourite places for statement jewellery. Tatty Devine and Urban outfitters are the same in the fact that they are both hit and miss shops. Sometimes i find things that really suit me but sometimes i don't and sometimes i find something that is a good deal but sometimes i don't.
I hope you enjoyed this and please tell me what you think and what posts i should do.

Braces: Black and Pink

Hello,

In the post i am basically going to show you an outfit i made using a skirt with braces (suspenders). You have probably guessed by now that my new arrangement is to use the title of my blog for posts. For this post i am going to show you an outfit i put together using a skirt with braces on. I decided on pink to go with it because there wasn't enough colour and the skirt is quite long so it would have look very very black.   

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/ 9/

I tried really hard to find the link for the hair slides but i just couldn't find them but i know they are from Asos.
For this outfit i have added make up because i felt that the lips, nails, hair clips, bag and cardi should all co-ordinate in some way. I chose these hair pins because if you didn't want the hair clips to look similar then you could use the gold or pearl ones and you can reuse them for a messy bun look. For a day time look i thought that you could wear white pumps and a set of pearl bracelets. If you were thinking of wearing this look on a night out you may choose to wear it with simple heals and a clutch bag. Personally, i think that the satchel is too casual for a night out and if you are wanting to get your purse or phone out quickly then satchels aren't ideal. I really like this top because of it's hieroglyphics print. I have never seen a hieroglyphics print on a high street brand before so i was really excited to see this and it has a gorgeous high neck. I really want to try out hieroglyphics on my nails but am super terrible at nail art. I chose the lip gloss because i think the look is really girly so doesn't need bold lips but they would look nice in a darker pink with a little shimmer to it. I really like hats like these because they are really easy to dress casually but also really easy to dress up. If you were going to a festival you could wrap a ribbon around it.

Please tell me what you think about this post and tell me if there is any post you would really like me to do.

Boys: Henry Holland

NEW ARRANGEMENT!!!!

This is my first post of the whole new arrangement and i am really excited for you to read it! Please please tell me what you think about it. This might not be your cup of tea but just try it out!

In posts titled Boys:........ i will be talking about a male designer or photographer or makeup artist or singer or just anyone i like.

For my first choice i decided on Henry Holland because his clothes are really quirky and show off peoples personality and make you look really bold. I think he is a really interesting man and he knows what he is doing. His clothes are basically exactly what i am liking at the moment. Henry is very famous for his bold logo t-shirts and his patterned tights. I don't really find his t-shirts that humorous and find them a bit try hard and rude. I don't think the tights are anything special and are a bit basic and are too expensive for what they are. I have chosen a few pieces from his collection. 

I am really liking silk shirts at the moment and think this one is gorgeous. Again it is polka dot but it has little monsters and faces on it and they are super cute. I haven't decided if denim jackets suit me but i think this would look great with a massive floral head piece and a white dip hem skirt. I have chosen one t-shirt because i wanted to show you what they look like. This is the only one that i would be seen out in but i wouldn't ever buy it. It has a huge logo in the corner and i'm sure it wouldeither too tight or baggy on me. I love every part of the forth picture except the shoes. The make-up is amazing!! You can't see it very clearly but you can see that the eyeshadow is a beautiful tanned and gold colour going up to the brow. I am going to DIY a jewelled beanie soon because i think they look nice and classy. Stripes and lace are in and they look amazing together. These shorts are the same material as the jacket. I love the cut-off effect too. The next two outfits are my favourite. The first one gave me a really good DIY idea to put bobble ribbons on the seams of a white shirt. I really like the diagonal stripes on the skirt and loving the orange. I love to wear shorts but don't know which suit me. I really love these because of the tatty effect and the pastel colours!

Please tell me if you like this post and want me to do more.

Would you wear..............Polka Dot Jeans?

Howdy!

I have got a little too excited about Easter and Spring; i'm currently eating my Lindt Easter egg! 

Lately i have been really busy lying in bed and watching t.v because i have been very ill all week. I have also made some promises to do a few posts and i am going to get round to them very very soon! 

My blog has had a little change around and i need to ask you a little favour! 

The little change around is that now i am going to have 3 posts a week that are set. I am not promising what days i will post them but hopefully you will like them. It will start next week and i may post more extra posts if i have good ideas and time.

As most of you will probably know Company and New Look are holding a Style Blogger Award for 2013. I was really excited to see all the winners but then i saw that i could enter because there is an "Best Teen Fashion Blog (under 18)" category! I nominated myself straight away, but i need more votes. It would mean the world to me if anyone would vote for me! You can vote for me here. 

Please tell me if you have voted for me so i can thank you!

The real point in this post is to talk about Polka Dot Jeans.

1/ 2/ 3/ 4/ 5/ 6/ 7/ 8/

I think most people have realised that a new trend is brewing in the fashion world. I am really not a fan of printed jeans because i have no idea what to wear them with and i normally resolve in just wearing a black vest and black cardi which makes me look really dull. I am a massive lover of polka dots and i think they really suit me. For this post i have stuck with blue because i really don't like black polka dot jeans because i think they are too plain and aren't as fun as polka dots should be! My absolute  favourite has to be number 1 from Zara. I don't generally shop from Zara because if the high prices but found these and thought they were quite a bargain for Zara. I prefer light jeans and i wear them more often then dark. I love that they look a bit tatty and are darker at the seams. I am not too keen of the shape of number 2 because they seem like they are supposed to be skinny jeans but don't fit well at the calf. Some people prefer little dots so i thought i would put it up here as a change. They are also a huge bargain at only £10.00! Number 3 is also a bit different from the others because the colour is much much bright then the others. Another trend this season is luminous jeans, so you will be hitting two birds with one stone. Number 4 and 8 are really similar in the fact that they are both quite dark blues. I don't have much to say on these because they are really simple. I am really into metallics lately but am a little afraid to try them because i'm not sure what shade would suit me, if you are in the same position then why not true these jeans? The dots are larger which means the trousers would be the biggest statement piece in your outfit. The dots are a metallic silver/blue. Number 8 is really similar to number 5 in the fact that the dots are a lighter shade of blue. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and leave a comment if you enjoyed it or would like to recommend me doing a different post.

Asos Marketplace

Heyyyyyyyy, 

While wrinting this post i am feeling very droopy and sad because i was a very dry cough and it is tickling my throat an lungs :(.

I sure most of you know about Asos and some of you may also know about the Asos Marketplace. 

Asos Marketplace is basically where little businesses or just people wanting to sell clothes, shoes and accessories. It is basically in between Ebay and Etsy because Etsy is more for businesses and new items and Ebay is more for people wanted to flog their unwanted things that are most likely used.

    A lot of items in the Asos Marketplace are vintage and some designer. I was very surprised to see that you can sell things from other shops like H&M! This really surprised me because you would have thought that they don't want to promote other shops. I have chosen a little find (not in a collage). I haven't had a proper look because i am trying to steer myself way from internet shopping!

These are spotty dotty dungarees! I really love dungarees but i'm not very sure if floppy, baggy dungarees would suit me. The only dungarees i own are light denim and i really love them. In the summer i am basically addicted to them because i can wear them with anything even a nice top and tights to a party. I really like these ones because they have space at the side so you can see a little of the top underneath. I also like that they flare out and the waist is tucked in. I had a little idea........what about wearing a luminous pink or orange jumper underneath!       

This is a view from the back. I like that is has a cross. That gives a real vintage effect. 

Tomorrow i may be bound to my bed (.........and laptop) and shall be listing a post on how to cook a little something something and maybe a few reviews as promised. 

Love Pineapples!
