My most popular blogs

Sup? I like to look at my blog stats. Just to see what's happeneing on my page etc. because, as mentioned yesterday, I like seeing what makes people tick. See what people like to see in a blog, of such. And it always makes me laugh to see that one of the blogs I did a looong time ago still gets the majority of hits. And I mean about 600% more hits than any other blog post. It was a post about fashion. I don't usually do fashion posts, because I am a nerd who has no real style. plus, there are so many fashion blogs out there that me doing fashion things would be insane, as I'm not even a beginner in that sort of thing, I'm a 'I kind of like fashion but don't know anything about it and don't have the time to become interested in it' kind of girl. Just this past week one of my other posts has started to get more hits too. The 80's blog. So, people, as it turns out, love seeing pictures of people wearing clothes and wearing 80's makeup. Who knew? If I was the sort of person who wanted to get a lot of followers just for the hell of it I would just post pictures of clothes. But, well, ASOS do that AND they have the bigger idea of selling clothes too... like most clothes shops... so I don't really see the need. Plus, I like my random blogging. I blog what I think, when I think it. Much like in real life, when I say what I say when I think it... Meh. I've lost my train of thought. Thanks for reading my ramblings! Sam

Fashion?

What's that?

It seems like everyone is blogging about fashion or baking right about now (even me... kind of, as I haven't started my baking blog yet...). I'm sure its been going on a while, but I never really noticed it. Now it seems you can't get away from it. There are 12 year olds' blogging from the front lines of Paris fashion week, and 21 year olds' blogging about their new lines whilst they simultaneously DJ at underground London clubs and sport over sized dresses and mussed up hair in a way no other human being could, and get away with it. Oh it's a strange world we live in.

I don't dislike this age of fashion which consumes the Internet. I love it. But here I sit, flicking through my ASOS magazine, reading about all of these people, and its like I'm on the outside looking in. Fashion is so exclusive - it's kind of like being at school again. I'm the girl who buzzes from one social group to the next, never really being a part of one singular one, and everyone else seems to be developing 'style'. What is this 'style' and where do I get it? How come some people just ooze confidence and glamour, even when looking like a penniless paupers in hand me down clothes?!

I don't know. I might dream of looking elegant, glamorous or street savvy like this:

But this is my true reality... and I don't think there is anything wrong with it!

So, I wear converse almost every day, hide riding boots under my jeans because they keep my feet warm AND dry in the winter and wear stripy tops and eat massive burgers (note: this picture was taken before my vegetarian ways kicked in. hehe (oh my God that burger looks SO good.)), surely that's OK? I'd like to think so.

Sorry for the random bloggage - just felt I needed to get it out of my system and I was getting annoyed with ASOS magazine for throwing stylish kids in my face. Well, they can eff off. HA!
