2. Answer the questions set to you
3. Create 11 questions of your own
4. Nominate 11 bloggers with 200 followers or less
5. Share on social media
Questions from ShortGirlInFa shion
1 . Describe your blog in 5 words.
Simple, Stylish, Not Too Serious
2. Why do you think blogs are so successful?
They come from a place of honesty. We expect TV and advertisements to try and mislead us to sell us stuff in some way. Blogs have an element of truthfulness, real bloggers write about things they genuinely have enjoyed and want to recommend.
3. What tips would you give to fellow newbie bloggers?
Just keep going! It can be really disheartening, and you want to give up when you've got low followers for month but keep talking to people and say yes to every opportunity you can.
4. What do you want to get out of blogging?
A release for my creativity. I'm hopeless at fine art, so my paintings etc. always looked messy however creative the idea was. And I wanted to be a writer since I was about 7. Fashion blogging always to really harass these passions into something productive.
5. What is your background in – can you give one tip about your personal experiences that others would appreciate?
My background is in Media and Fashion PR, and I hope to go back into fashion PR once I graduate from my MSc. In terms of tips... I was surprised at how rude some bloggers could be when talking to PR companies and brands. I was kind of shocked! Being polite will get you a lot further.
6. Where you live – does that affect your blog, who your are, what you write about?
I'm from Newcastle and I would say that influences I lot of my style and who I am, but I live in Cheltenham. It's such a beautiful spa town and gorgeous nature. Most of my fashion blog photos are taken by trees and hedges around town.
7. If you were to meet the Queen, what would you wear?
I would have to follow my style guru Blair Waldolf for this one. Something classic and style. Very Audrey Hepburn-esque.
8. If you were to meet Harry Styles, what would you say?
Does it suck now that Zane's hotter than you?
9. If you were to meet a fairy god-mother, what would you wish for?
To be a mermaid!
10. If you had to rock one hairstyle the rest of your life, what would you do to it – (insert picture if needed!)?
As boring as it sounds my hair now. I took be a long, long time to come to terms with my natural hair, (I always wanted it thin, long, straight and blonde when I was young.) I'm now proud of having dark, thick voluminous hair - I finally got it long too!
