Style icons

For this post I want to talk about fashions icons. This is because I feel everyone has someone they look up to when choosing a style that they like and feel comfortable with. They have a particular person in mind when out shopping choosing clothes to buy. 
I'm always looking through magazines, looking at what all the celebrities are wearing and how I can incorporate their style onto me.  
So here are three of my style icons. 

The first one is TV presenter, model and WAG Abbey Clancy. I feel that Abbey can go from absolutely daring to completely  appropriate at any given time. She's not afraid to revel too much skin and takes a risk in what she wears when appearing on the red carpet or on TV. Then the next minute she makes a completely toned down ensemble and looks effortless.

My second style icon is king of The Saturday's Mollie King. Mollie has always had an eye for fashion and defiantly think she could have a successful career in fashion if she wanted to. She's very on trend with the clothes she wears and the type of clothes she wears are one I can relate to. She wears the tailored look really well and suits pastel colours to a T, which I just love this season. 

And now here is my final style icon, which goes to pop princess Cheryl Cole. I'v always been a fan of Cheryl, not just in fashion but in her music since being in Girls Aloud and to her solo career. She hasn't always got it right in the past, but when she does get it right she really goes for it and looks gorgeous. Her style can go from urban edgy to a girly girl princess, which shows she loves experimenting with her looks and isn't afraid to go all out there. 

Festival Fashion!

This weekend host one of the worlds biggest music festivals. No I'm not talking about Reading and Leeds or V-festival, but the one and only Glastonbury. This weekend big acts such as Dolly Parten, Metalica and Kasabian grace the glorious pyramid stage.

Although the music acts are an important part of the festival, the one thing that people talk about the most is the fashion and what everyone will be wearing. Festivals are a chance for people to really experiment with their chose of clothing and can be as wacky as they like.

So I thought i would show you some of my favourite festival fashion items from the high street.

The Kimono

It wouldn't be summer 2014 without a kimono. It is one of the hottest fashion pieces this season, making it perfect for any festival. It turns any plain outfit it too something a bit more exciting.

Newlook £19.99
Topshop £55
Riverisland £50







Summer tee
This may seem quite an obvious piece of clothing but a good top whatever style, just makes a simple pair of denim shorts look perfect and can really turn an outfit around.

  Newlook £9.99
Topshop £40
Riverisland £16

new outfits!!!

My last post about the recent bit of shopping i had done wasn't the best quality, so I've just got a few images of my favourite items brought from that shopping trip. Again the pictures are not that good, as I don't have an expensive camera so my iPhone has to do. Any way enough rambling hope you enjoy. (:

Please ignore the messy room haha. I couldn't find a better location as it has been really sunny outside so it wasn't appropriate. I absolutely love this top. The lace is gorgeous and a must ware on a night out with your friends. I also love this white ivory skater skirt from boohoo. You can wear nearly everything with it and again perfect for the summer.

As you can properly tell I love crop tops and this light blue cropped number is an A list piece which I will properly wear time and time again. Also I'm wearing it with the white skater skirt.  

Topshop nail varnish

I recently brought two nail varnishes from the make up Topshop range as i'v heard really good things about them and thought I would try them myself.

I'm not the best at painting my own nails and most often have to take it off and start again as i completely forget i'v just painted them and smudge them. After using these I was so impressed, they only need one coat which is just amazing and they dry really quickly. They have so much choice of colours and their not too overly priced at £5. Iv got the dark pink and a blue colour that im not too sure what the name of the colour is. I would defiantly recommended these to anyone like me isn't that good and beginners of painting your nails.

     The design is really cute but simple, not to complicated and i love the white poka dot lip.

Thank you Zoella!

I just wanted to make this post to thank someone who without watching her videos i would not have been able to self diagnose a problem that's been occurring since i was 15.

I'm sure most of you have heard of the amazing Zoella and the other day I watched her video of a Q&A about anxiety. When she started to explain what anxiety was and how she knows she's getting a panic attack, it struck something in me as what happens to her happens to me as well.
The getting hot, not being able to breath and surrounded in a large crowd.

The first time it happened was when I was 15 in 2010, i went to T4 on the beach with my mum, sister and friend Claire. T4 on the beach is on the beaches of Western Supermarer and we were stood in the middle of a very large crowd waiting for the next performer to take the stage. When out of no were I started to get really hot, I had trouble breathing and felt like I was going to pass out.

It then happened again when watching Kate Nash at a small music venue in Northampton when the same thing happened again and my friend ended up pulling me out of the venue as the fear of passing out struck me again. And it happens every time I'm in a large crowd, in a tights small area.

After watching Zoella's video I then learnt that is was anxiety and watching her video taught me that I'm not the only one it happens to and explains why I get scared or fear something in certain situations.

So thank you (:

Hunting for experience

For quite a long time I have been searching and searching endlessly for some work experience in journalism. I’m not asking to be editor of Cosmopolitan or Heat magazine, just something local in a newspaper so I can add some work to my portfolio. But for some reason no matter how many times you email and ring practically begging for some experience they never get back to you. Not even to say you were unsuccessful.

I’m so passionate about being a journalist, one of the reasons why I started this blog, just so I could write something and have it published in whatever form possible. I had some work experience at a local paper in Milton Keynes and doing this has given me the hunger to want to do more.

I don’t want to come off like I’m desperate but any editors out there willing to give a nineteen year old student a chance then feel free to email me at bethanymudds95@gmail.com.

Festival Fears

When you think of summer, what spring to mind first? A relaxing holiday in spain with your family? The thought of not having to get up early for school? Or the start of many music festivals all over the UK?

For me festivals bring fear, anxiety and horror. Its not that I don't love live music because I couldn't go one day without listening to music. The one reason why I dont like festivals is because I suffer with claustrophobia. I know its not like a bad illness but for me it stops me from doing what all teenagers and young adults love to do. The thought of being in that massive crowd surrounded by sweaty strangers all jumping up and down to their favourite songs makes me feel ill.

I have been to a music festival, three times in fact. And every time I'v gone to one I feel as if I'm going to pass out and have had to leave and wait outside because I cant face going back in there.

I wish I didn't feel like this because I would go to so much more festivals and music events if I didn't have this fear hanging over me like a dark cloud.
