Liebster Award


If you are new to the Liebster Award (like I am too), it is a way of communicating and discovering new blogs from around the world. It is also a way of meeting new people and learning something new about like minded individuals. I've been kindly nominated by two lovely ladies with two amazing fashion blogs from different parts of the world. Firstly I was nominated by Sarah from I Come Undone and then shortly after by Maddie from Feeling Magenta. Thank you both for nominating me and sorry for posting the award so late!

The rules are as follows:

1. Acknowledge the blogger who nominated you and display the award.
2. Answer the eleven questions the blogger gives you.
3. Give eleven random facts about you, they can be about anything.
4. Nominate eleven blogs you think that are deserving of the award (they must have under 200 followers)
5. Let the bloggers know you have nominated them.
6.Give them eleven questions to answer.


Sarah's Questions

1. What made you start your blog?
Whilst at uni, people used to say how much they loved my style and how I inspired them, so I decided to start a blog to document my outfits! Bang Blitz as my creative outlet showcasing my style, imagery, video and writing.

2. What are your top three beauty products?
£1 lipstick from Superdrug is just as good as Mac (in my opinion), Max Factor Master piece mascara and Mac Studio Fix powder / foundation compact.

3. If you could have any job in the world, what would it be?
Something incredibly creative that involves video and motion graphics, with some element of fashion.

4. What is your favourite place you have ever visited?
I absolutely loved Meat Mission in Shoreditch. Perfect combination of amazing burgers, fried pickles and their own brewed beer set to a backdrop of gothic, graffiti style décor. I loved Germany too.

5. What are the most worn items in your wardrobe?
I'm not that in to bags so will use one until it literally falls apart, so currently I'm using a black one with gold hardware from Primark. My black leather Vagabond Dioon boots I wear everyday, as they are the most comfiest shoes and they haven't broken yet! I'm so hard wearing on shoes, they normally don't last long, but these boots are still in perfect condition!

6. Any fashion disasters you want to share with us?
I have a pair of crazy, faux fur moon boots in cream, I wore aged 13 and still have them. I've never been afraid to take risks with fashion. I remember wearing a pair of black patent, pointed ankle boots from Red Or Dead to work when I was 16 and everyone laughing at me, comparing me to the wicked witch in The Wizard Of Oz. Luckily I've never cared what people think of me, but people staring in the street is half the fun!

7. Any items in your wardrobe that you love but nobody else understand?
My boyfriend hates most of what I wear, but especially dislikes a jacket I made once. I took the arms from a faux fur jacket and sewed it on to the body of a leather jacket, but he used to call me the honey monster when I wore it. I quite liked it though!

8. What item are you currently lusting after? Link a photo.
Shoes from Miista! The site is total shoe porn for me! I want all four of them!

Rachel Mint
Ava Mint Speckle
Amber Black
Dee Pink

10. Something you have learnt recently?
I have learnt that I LOVE kripsy kreme burgers!

11. A pet peeve?
I have rude people and liars.



Maddie's Questions

1. What's the story behind your blog name?
I looked around my bedroom for inspiration and the first two words I saw were 'bang' and 'blitz'.

2. Where are your favourite places to shop?
Charity shops and I discovered Monki in Germany. Everytime I went in to Monki I found amazing things in the sales!!

3. If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would you go?
I think Antarctica is the most beautiful place in the world. I plan on taking an Antarctic cruise on my 30th birthday.

4. What is your 'go-to' outfit?
Black, chunky boots from Vagabond, any high waisted trousers, long sleeved polo neck, belt and gold earrings.

5.  What book(s) are you currently reading?
The book I'm currently reading will reveal my inner geekyness and love for exploring conspiracy theories! I'm reading 'The Ancient Alien Question' by Philip Coppens. It's based on the Ancient Alien show on the History Channel.

6. Who is your favourite fashion icon?
Penny Lane from the film 'Almost Famous'.

7. Coffee or Tea?
I'm incredibly indecisive, so both.

8. What are your plans for summer?
Hopefully book a holiday with my boyfriend, as we have never been away together and I've only ever been on three holidays in my entire life! Also go to Bestival in September.

9. What beauty product do you splurge the most on?
Mascara

10. What is the last concern you've been to?
The White Lies 'Big TV' tour at the Roundhouse in Camden.

11. What do you look for in a blog?
Individuality, personality and opinion.
