Blogging Tips & Q&A With Fashion & Forever

By October 21, 2013 Fashion

Hello 🙂 One of this month’s advertisers, Rebecca from Fashion & Forever, is here to answer a few questions about fashion and blogging! Enjoy…

fashforevz

What inspired you to start your Blog?: I don’t have one set answer for this I just knew I wanted to get into fashion. I have always been interested in fashion and over the past few years I wanted to start a up a blog and finally did earlier this year and I’m so glad I did. But I also look up to fellow bloggers and people in the fashion industry.

Why did you choose Fashion as a topic?: I chose fashion because since I was younger I have always had a creative streak, well that’s what people say, and over the past few years I have really got into designing things and putting outfits together.

What are you top tips on starting a Blog?: Well I haven’t had my blog for that long but I’d just say be yourself and just do what you want to do. I would also say its definitely quality over quantity, don’t worry straight away that your not getting 1000 views or 100 followers, you should be doing it because you enjoy it and that’s all that matters. Nothing has to be too serious, and if you want to go into it professionally wait a bit and experiment!

What are your Blogging Targets for this year?: Well I would have to say by the end of the year I would like to get over a 1000 views, I am a few hundred off which is mind blowing that people are reading my blog haha but yes I think that’s it, and just to generally keep making friends with fellow bloggers.

Who are your favourite fellow bloggers?: I have so many, and I feel like that was such a bad answer but I really do! I have also been chatting to a few teen bloggers and love reading there blogs but I don’t think I can pick out of them. Sometimes I go for reading some slightly older blogs and some teen blogs but always love people sending me their links!

What trend are you most looking forward to working, this A/W 13?: When I heard about Winter Pastels I got really excited as I think pastel colours are amazing and already have a few pastels items in my A/W wardrobe, also tartans and oversized coats, however I have to watch how big I go with clothes as I’m extremely petite! But I have also been liking the colours this year too.

Where’s your favourite place to grab a bargain and why?: Well if I’m looking for something very cheap, I will go to Primark haha, if your on a budget it is the place to be. Some people don’t like it and say everything brakes but everything I have bought there is still going strong. But definitely Primark for bargains.

What’s your favourite fashion designer?: This is so hard for me because if were talking high-end fashion I would have to say I do like a few of the clothes from Burberry this year  and Dior but also love seeing some of the unique styles from designers like Vivienne Westwood. Another I would say is Elie Saab because the clothes are just amazing, and so many more.

What’s your favourite ever item of clothing/accessory you’ve ever bought and why?: Once again I have had quite a few things that I have loved and then I have to move on, oh dear, but as you have noticed I cant make decisions. I just think I want to hoard all of my clothes, but probably either my ankle boots or one of my winter knits.

What’s your personal style and what do you do to work it?: I guess my styles all over the place, I love wearing spots and lace and leather and tartan and prints. So once again lots but I just love putting outfits together depending on the occasion or just in general quite a laid back style but still put together.

Blogging Tips & Q&A with Sophie Etc

By January 14, 2013 Beauty, Fashion

So once again, another fellow blogger has let me ask them some questions on blogging, so you guys can get some inspiration, and perhaps start thinking about doing one yourself! This time it’s Sophie from Sophie Etc

1. What inspired you to start your blog(s)?: I’ve always had a passion for writing, and I’d been following beauty and fashion blogs for a while so I decided I wanted a piece of the blogosphere! It started as a bit of a random blog, and its grown beyond my dreams now!

2.    Why did you choose Beauty & Fashion?: I had a bit of a growing fascination/obsession with make up and clothes. Once I got into blogging a bit more I focused on those two things as I was good at writing about them. Because I’m passionate about my interests, writing comes naturally. I also love to share my beauty finds with the rest of the world. It’s a great feeling when someone tells you that they’ve gone and bought something because you said good things about it.

3.    What are you top tips on starting a Blog?: Be yourself! I love blogs that show the bloggers personality, they are often the best ones. Also, write about what you love, not what you feel you have to write about. No one wants to see the same post on loads of blogs. If yours is different you’ll stand out!

4.    What are your Blogging Targets for this year?: Hit a big number of followers and add a bit of ‘me’ into my blog. With something as material as a beauty blog I feel like people forget there’s a human behind it!

5.    Who are your favourite fellow bloggers?: LLYMLRS because I LOVE her style!
The Sunday Girl as its my beauty bible and P0larmilk is a new favourite, it’s really simple and honest!

6.    What’s was your favourite trends of 2012?: Nail art. I love doing my nails and embraced it like it was a long lost sister!

7.    Where’s your favourite place to grab a bargain and why?: Topshop jewelry sales for sure! The jewelry is always so beautiful but so expensive. I raid it when the sale is on, accessories add so much to an outfit.

8.    What’s your favourite piece of Make-Up you’ve ever bought and why?: I didn’t buy it, it was a present but my YSL lipstick from my boyfriend… Its a beautiful beautiful item and I will definitely purchase another!

9.    What’s your favourite ever item of clothing/accessory you’ve ever bought and why?: My faux leather biker jacket from Topshop. A true style staple in anyone’s wardrobe, its so versatile!

10.   Who is your favourite designer and why?: Ted Baker. I adore the cute and colourful accessories, I own a few bags and pieces of jewelry! I also adore Alexander McQueen’s designs, they were pieces of art in themselves and absolutely beautiful.

11.   What is your favourite Make-Up Brand?: Hard to say because I like a lot of different ones. The one I trust the most is Rimmel for its purse friendly quality products. However Urban Decay is nearing my favourite ever now purely down to the amazing quality of their eyeshadows!

12.   What’s your personal style and what do you do to work it?: It’s quite simple and I like to wear versatile items. For example a white shirt and a biker jacket go with absolutely everything in my wardrobe!

So you can get a feel for Sophie’s blog, here are a few screenshots…

Okay, so if you weren’t on Twitter last night, you probably won’t know what the #SpendingBan Challenge is, but it’s pretty much a 100 day Challenge to stop Spending. It’s mainly for Beauty & Fashion bloggers, along with Lifestyle bloggers too, but I guess anyone can join in, so I decided to post the first bunch of blogger who are doing the ban. It was actually thought up by Alice from Bright Town Girl who has a really sweet and simple blog, and it was actually trending, which is pretty cool! Um, so here is the list! Sorry, if I missed you off! Please tweet me or comment with your link!

Okay, so when we were chatting along, we came up with tips and things in which could help anyone on the #spendingban and there were some good ones! Here’s an example of what happened in the chat!…

Maria Sparkle asked: ”#spendingban I struggle with online the most, I have web access all day at work, it can be deadly! Any tips xxx”

TollyDollyPosh answered: ”If possible, block the sites that you want to visit, and then you won’t be tempted, and get someone to set a secret password!”

TollyDollyPosh said: #spendingban Top Tip!: Go to @MUAcosmetics and get a really cheap alternative rather than something which is 5 times more expensive!!
