Q&A: Dissolve in Scottish Rain // Liebster Award

I woke up this morning to find out that I'd been nominated by the lovely Katy from 'Dissolve in Scottish Rain' for a Liebster award! It's amazing to hear that other people appreciate and actually read your blog, and the aim of the Liebster award is to recognise and introduce new bloggers, which I think is lovely!

To find out the more about the the word Liebster click here - I did my research last time I was nominated!

The rules of the Liebster Award are as follows:
1 - Thank & link the blogger who nominated you.
2 - Give 11 random facts about yourself.
3 - Answer the 11 questions that they have written for you.
4 - Nominate other bloggers with under 200 followers who you believe deserve the award.
5 - Post 11  questions for your nominees to answer & be sure to let them know that they have been selected.

Ok, so now you know the basis of what's to come, I best crack on with 11 random facts about me . . 

1. I am a tea enthusiast. (i.e. i drink a lot of tea.)
2. I've been playing netball for 8 years now, and hope that i'll be able to join a University Team in September!
3. I am a neat-freak. Like seriously. Especially in my own bedroom, I can't even go to sleep knowing that my room is messy, so no matter what time it is, I have to tidy it.
4. My favourite tv series is Pretty Little Liars.
5. I would LOVE to live/work in Paris when i'm older - it's such beautiful city!
6. I'm really thankful to blogging, as I feel it has made me more confident as I used to be an extremely shy person.
7. I am a notebook hoarder. I have lost count of how many I have/have been given. For example, I'm in my bedroom right now and can see 8 just on my shelves. (that's not even including the rest of my room!)
8. My favourite perfume is J'adore Dior.
9. I work as a banqueting waitress at a local hotel.
10. I really want to go skiing again, I went a few years ago and loved it.
11. My favourite book is 'To kill a mockingbird.'

Ok. So if you're still with me, and feel like you want to know a little bit more about moi, keep scrolling for my Q&A with Katy.

1. What would be the name of your alter-ego?
I can't think of a name, but i think it'd be someone that I'm afraid to be i.e. confident but not too outspoken, someone who never worries, a risk-taker and just more playful in general.

2. If you could write a drama based on your life who would play YOU and your BEST FRIEND?
Tricky question! I love the actress 'Troian Bellisario', and even though she resembles me in no way at all, she can play me! And as for my best friend, I think that 'Zooey Deschanel' should play Megan, as they both really make me laugh and have quite distinct personalities.

3. What high-street shop is your kryptonite?
Hmmm ... this is actually quite tricky for me! I'd probably say Topshop. I apologise for how generic that is, but i get all my basics from there. And I'm loving their scalloped vest tops at the mo!

4. Where do you see yourself in 16 years (precise, I know)? 
Okaaaay, so in 16 years i will be *works out sum* 34! OMG! Ok so in 16 years I would like to be in a happy relationship, possibly married with children. I'd like to be working my way up the journalistic-working ladder, or possibly be freelancing! Oh and living somewhere cooler!

5. What are your blogger goals? 
To enjoy myself. Honestly, I started blogging for me. As an outlet to express myself, I don't know where it'll go but I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

6. CLOTHES or MAKEUP?
Clothes all the way.

7. What is one trend that you will NEVER be able to get your head around?
Ok. Many people may hate me for saying this. But. .  . black leggings. I understand that they may be comfortable for at home or what ever, but when girls wear them with small crop-tops and trainers - I CANT STAND IT. And seriously, the majority of these leggings are see-through, so why would you voluntarily opt for that look? 

8. You're having a dinner party, you can invite three people - who?  (dead or alive / famous or friends) 
 - Julie Andrews
 - Helena Bonham Carter
 - Audrey Hepburn

9. If you could look into the future and see your life, would you do it?
I'd be tempted, but I wouldn't. It would ruin the surprise!

10. What's your most annoying feature?
I have a terrible habit of biting my nails when I'm stressed.


11. Who is your inspiration? 
My friends and family.


Lastly are the 9 lovely ladies that I would like to nominate:

1. Megan from Megan's Little Blog.
2. Camilla from a sensible heart.
4. Ruby from Total Modisch.
5. Beth from Alphabeth.
6. Alex from Fashion Nerdette.
7. Merrin from M is for Merrin.
8. Alice from Alice's Wonderland.
9. Ruth from The Ruth Way.

Ok and FINALLY. . my questions for these wonderful bloggers:

1. If you could wear one colour for the rest of your life what would it be?
2. Who is your dream partner? (book/film etc.)
3. What is your favourite season and why?
4. What is at the top of your bucket list?
5. Who do you aspire to be?
6. What is your favourite fashion era and why?
7. What is your most worn accessory?
8. What do you first notice about a person?
9. Tea or coffee?
10. Where do you see yourself in 5 years time?
11. Where are you happiest?

Liebster Award Nomination!

So I guess I've been nominated for the Liebster Award! I was really shocked to be nominated, as loads of my favourite bloggers have been nominated before and now have way more than 200 followers. 
I've been lucky enough to be nominated by the wonderful Emma-Jane here's a special shout out to you - thank you my lovely! 




The Liebster award is a great way for new bloggers to become more popular and gain more followers, as it just opens it up to more people really! Things like this award really make blogging worthwhile :) The word ‘Liebster’ is German and means ‘nice, lovely, kind, and dear’ which is really cute – a great idea!

The rules are simple:
1. Each nominee must answer the 11 questions from the person who nominated them.
2. You must then choose 11 other who have under 200 followers to pass on the award.
3. Tell them about their nomination.
4. Choose 11 new questions for them to answer, and so on!

So here goes! Questions from Emma (and my answers!):

 1.  Which celebrity’s style has influenced you the most?
I quite like Emma Watson’s style as she dresses in a simple but elegant fashion. I also like Taylor Swift and Troian Bellisario. 
2.  Favourite Designer?
Elie Saab, no doubt about it! His beadwork is am-a-zing! I love how graceful and elegant his gowns are and that each of his collections are so unique with wonderful themes.
3.  Most Worn Accessory?
Hmm, this is a tricky one! But I’d have to say my cute scissor earrings I got at the clothes show last year – I love them so much I hardly take them out.
4.  Favourite nail varnish?
My fave colour would be burgundy (of course!) and fave brand would probably be Barry M (I have too many to count!)
5.  What is on the top of your bucket list?
To live in France! I adore the French language so much; I’m currently doing A2 French which I’m really enjoying. So hopefully sometime in the near future I will be able to study abroad there.
6.  What is your opinion on the pastel coloured hair trend?
I’m not crazy for it, but if it suits you go for it! I think if I tried it I would look like a wannabe Smurf.
7.  Favourite era – in terms of fashion and why?
1920’s the Gatsby era of course! Sequins, flapper dresses, headpieces and beading – if I could be a flapper girl I would jump at it. I’m thinking of having a 20’s inspired tea party soon too!
8.  What influences you to blog?
Everything from places I go, people I see, trends I like to items I have or want.
9.  If you could travel anywhere, where would you go?
Second from France, I would like to go to New York. I want to experience the New-Yorker lifestyle as a budding journalist! The busy city life with so much to do and places to see and let’s not forget all the shopping perks!
10. What do you hope to be doing in the next year?
Hopefully by this time next year, I will have just started university studying ‘Fashion Journalism’ or something along those lines.
11.  Why did you decide to start a blog?
It was just a spur of the moment thing really. I have always loved reading fashion blogs, watching hauls and reading magazines so I thought I would start my own blog share with others my passion for fashion!

Who I'm nominating:


 And my questions to the bloggers are:
1.   What is your favourite season?
2.   What was your last splurge on?
3.   Who is your style icon?
4.   What is your must-have beauty product?
5.   Tea or Coffee?
6.   Made in Chelsea or TOWIE?
7.   Do you collect anything?
8.   What is your favourite item in your wardrobe at the moment?
9.   Favourite beauty brand?
