My Tips and Tricks for starting a Lifestyle and Fashion Blog

Image
Hello Lovelies, I had a few comments from new bloggers or people who want to start a blog and one person asked for some tips. So i thought why not create a post about how I ended up starting my blog and some tips and tricks!  I started this blog in October 2014 I originally planned to make posts on books and how to start creative writing but i didn't really keep up with it. Then in January this year I decided to give it another go and began to make fashion and lifestyle posts. I think blogging is a big commitment and if you don't have time to create posts or don't think you will be able to upload regularly may be rethink starting a blog?  I love blogging but sometimes you get bloggers block just like writers block and it can be really diffiicult to get idea's especially if you are to upload as frequently as i do when you have lots of new ideas write them down on a calendar or in a notebook i prefer the calendar option as i use blogger which is set up via a google accoun

Hello Lovlies, Sorry that it's been a little while but here is a new post that is on my little doggy Louis! So first of all I have become one of those people. I made an Instagram for my dog.  I  have very good reasons why! I have always posted pictures of Louis on my Instagram and people seemed to really like him so I thought why not? Haha.  I love Louis he's one of my best friends so  today he entered his first ever competition so he made plenty of doggy friends but he wasn't too sure about the bigger dogs.  I am quite proud to say he won two awards one of them with my help! Just kidding it was all him even in the six legged round. He didn't place for handsomest dog as their were seven Competitors and only five placed so i took it upon myself to enter the six legged competition and we came first! So then we were put into overall meaning we had a chance at best in show! sadly we didn't win best in show but look on the bright side we won best in show reserve so we ca

My Summer Book Challenge - TBR

Image
Hello Lovelies, As of tomorrow it is the first week of the six week holidays in the UK aka the summer holidays (vacation). So I thought I would set my self a challenge to read at least 6 books one for each week!  Here is the first book that I am currently reading!  The Mortal Instruments City Of Ashes This is the second book in the The Mortal Instruments Series when I started the first book I thought it would just be another annoying over the top fantasy novel especially after seeing the (awful) film of it but I judged a book by its cover and fell in love with the series the characters are so well developed and I am in love with the way Cassandra Clare writes! Most authors that write in 3rd person I hate because i feel like it is so disconnected to the characters but she doesn't do that you can acknowledge the characters emotions, thoughts, beliefs and why the characters act a certain way! I am just in love with this book series!  I thought to continue with the next book in the ser

Why I Haven't Been Uploading?

Hello Lovelies, Today I thought I would tell you why I haven't been uploading for the past three days. I have been having really bad sleepless nights where I go to sleep at 2:30 am on school nights because I have had really bad chest pains, a cough and wheezing.  I have also had a really stressful week where I have been coming home from school and just sitting crying because of someone in school who my closest friends are friends with. I hate arguing so I just keep walking away from my friends feeling uncomfortable around them the only person I have is myself when I am upset. So I just end up walking around school by myself crying in anger!  So I haven't really been feeling motivated to write blog posts I don't want to sugar coat that everything and everyone in my life is perfect when it isn't. I just wanted to say thank you for reading and I hope to create blog posts again soon. - Ellie Xx

Summer Fashion Wishlist 2015

Hello Lovelies, Today I thought I would make a list of three items I want to purchase this summer.  1. Balloon Skirt. I think the balloon skirts on the New Look website are gorgeous but they do not stock them where I live so I am hoping to buy one next week either in London or Durham as I am going shopping in both! 2. Round Purple Sunglasses. Another New Look product but I do love these as I need some new sunglasses for summer. Something else I am hoping to purchase on one of my trips next week. 3. A sleeveless jacket. These sleeveless jackets from select look so effortlessly elegant and I think they are perfect for summer. I hope you like this post and Thanks for reading!  - Ellie Xxx What is on your summer wishlist Let me know in the comments below!
