New Years Resolution

Hi there! It's been a very long time since I last blogged - just over two months in fact (it's shameful, I know) - but that's why I have officially made it my New Year's resolution to try to blog and Lookbook on a much more regular basis. 

I tried to start this off with a bit of a blog re-vamp, but as I'm still a massive beginner when it comes to HTML and CSS coding, my 're-vamp' has so far consisted of re-naming my blog and shifting my side bar to the right (crazy - I know!) If you weren't aware, I was formerly 'Hopeless Whistler' - a blog name which I could certainly not warm to and actually made me cringe a little bit when ever I said it out loud to anyone. So the new year brings a new name for you all: 'Frock Me' (and 'frockmefashion' for my domain as just 'frockme' was already taken *insert sad face here*). 

I don't want to say exactly how often I intend on blogging, because with January mocks peeping over the horizon and a wagon load of coursework stacking up on me, I could find it hard to keep to a perfect timetable. But I'd like to say at LEAST once a week. I can manage that, surely? 

I popped a little link to my Lookbook at the beginning of this post for you all, and you can also access it through my side bar. Again this is something I aim to do a lot more regularly, although my limited wardrobe and terrible camera quality will throw a few restrictions on that. It's terribly time consuming trying to capture a picture where your clothes AND your face look okay, taking in to account you're using an iPhone camera and self timer app to do this. 

Thanks to everyone who read my blog last year, and I hope to gain a few more fans this time round. Hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Years. Maybe you could drop a comment telling me what your New Year's resolution is? :)

Thanks for reading, Aderyn

The birth of my blog!

So I have decided to start a blog. And while you may think the hardest part of starting a blog is ‘what do I write about?’ or ‘will anyone care about what I have to say?’, for me it was choosing a name.

I saw this task as very similar to naming a baby. There are many things you need to take in to consideration.  Number one. People must be able to spell it. Having the name Aderyn means I have felt the wrath of this situation, and I can tell you now, it’s not pretty. But why name your blog something that nobody can spell? The time consuming task of writing down the name of my blog, rather than just saying it aloud, made me think twice about swapping that ‘y’ for an ‘i’.  

Number two. It also needs to be fairly sensible. Too many celebrities nowadays are announcing the birth of their new born child Princess or Fifi (how these women get their husbands to agree to these names I’ll never know!). Albeit I probably thought these were great names at the age of ten, by the time you give birth you really should know better.  Similarly, for those of you who made a Hotmail account when you were twelve and inappropriately called it ‘s3xy_kitten-xoxo@hotmail.co.uk’, you’ll understand the embarrassment of having to recite this to people five years on.

So with much thought and consideration, and many many missed blogging opportunities, I decided to be brave and just pick one! So as I sit here, five days before my coursework deadline, telling myself that although this isn't what I'm meant to be doing it’s still productive, I present you with my blog. Hopeless Whistler!
