I'm an 18 year old fashion lover and this is my blog 'Freckles and Fashion' ( I hope that it is quite obvious as to why I picked that name). I have just recently dropped out of my college course and I've been wanting to start a blog for a few years now so now that I have a lot of spare time on my hands before I start a new course in September I decided that there is no better time to start it!
I actually started a blog 2 years ago when I was in school and gave it up just a few weeks later so I put off the idea for a while, I felt a bit disheartened but I just had so little time for it being in school and to be honest I didn't tell a lot of people about it being too afraid what people would think of it and say about it.
Its not that I amn't nervous about sharing this blog because I am, and putting yourself out there in any way is daunting for anybody, but I think that after 2 years of contemplating starting a new one I've just kind of decided just to do it and stop waiting around because I know that I would have never been content until I had made it. It's also a new years resolution of mine that , yes, it is a month late but I'm notoriously late for everything so the starting of my blog is of course no different.
Getting more into the reading of blogs and following more blogs on social media also really made me want to create a blog even more. Suzanne Jackson, also known as SoSueMe has been my main influence on me wanting to start a blog since she visited my school and gave a talk on how she got started, its crazy to see how much her blog and her brand have grown over the last 3 years of following her. Niamh Cullen from Behind the Braids and Joanne Larby, also known as The Make-up Fairy have also really inspired me to create this blog and its so great to see so many Irish Men and Women make it big in the blogging industry!
My blog will be mainly Fashion and Beauty based, but I will also be writing some travel and lifestyle posts the odd time as I love travelling and taking photos along the way and of course sharing them. Some of my favourite places to shop would be high street stores like Topshop, River island and Penneys ( I work there so I never fail to come home empty handed). I'm also a huge fan of online shopping sites such as Missguided and Asos, theres something so much better about receiving a package in the post compared to going into a shop and buying something, then again that could just be me...
Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read, I'm sure you'll hear from me again very soon,
Lots of Love,
Charleen x
