I have to clear out my old room in the basement because my littlest brother wants it and apparently I don't live here anymore! Believe me I would rather not live with brothers who inhale the fridge and have garage parties all night! All this teen angst is coming back at just the right time. I have boxes and boxes of magazines though and can't possibly throw them away even if they are from before 2004. Ever summer I used to buy theMizz summer special and try out every hairstyle, every DIY face mask, every trick to talkto boys! But then I spent my teenage years consuming magazines non-stop, Sugar, CosmoGirl, Elle Girl, Teenvogue, I read them all! This was before the internet, or when I was allowed 1 hour a day on AOL where my mom even had a timer set that logged you off! My favourite magazine was Bliss though and I even had a letter published in there! It satisfied my need for Busted posters and sk8r boy-catching tips but I was still delighted when Bliss said they wanted to include Flying Saucer as part of a feature! First appearance in a magazine, how exciting! Hopefully it will inspire more people to start blogging. I also read the whole magazine too, the likes of Elle and Glamour really should include more quizzes and embarrassing moments!
The article is formed from some questions I answered, I think I said everyone on my course wants to be a buyer but I wouldn't mind any retail job right now! You can click the picture to read it in full.
Another major pro of teenzines is that they come with posters! Funny how this issue came with an Ed Westwick poster! Thank to Louise and the Bliss team, you've really brightened up my walls!
p.s. Remember the NV code is available for a week! I'm wearing the other rose vest here, I got S/Ms and they would fit someone size 8/10/12 perfectly. Also wearing a Primark skirt (the last buy from there I'm thinking!) and Topshop tights.
Congratulations on the feature!

Ooh, congratulations! I'm going to see if Bliss is sold in the States and pick up a copy.
By the way, you look adorable - as always! :)

WOW, that's so cool! Almost like every little girl's dream to be featured in one of those magazines. :D

Congrats on being in a magazine! Holy cow that is cool.

Those tights are just lovely!
When I left home my dad put all the magazines I had lovingly kept through my teens in the (damp, spidery) cellar... by the time I worked out where they'd gone they were mouldy! It might be just as well as I've had the same collecting habit as an adult and by now if I still had all the old ones as well I'd have had to move somewhere bigger 8)
*Squee* for being in Bliss. Do you find it scary when you're about to read what they've said about you?

Lol, this all reminds me of me from a few years ago. When I wasn't really allowed on the internet and I used to read all the same mags. loved CosmoGirl the best.

I recently had to do the same thing and it broke my heart to have to recycle such wonderful teen material :0)

Love your tights and I used to adore Mizz and Sugar too! I used to have loads of J-17 mags too.

As soon as I saw your last post, I headed over to the NV website and ordered two rose print vests and a ruffled bolero! Thanks so much for letting us know about it and for posting the coupon code. Also, I love the way you've tucked it into your skirt... definitely something I should try!
And congratulations on your Bliss feature! :)

Congrats on the Bliss article!
MIZZ still do summer specials? Oh the memories! I recently found a summer special in an old box from around 1990 and I am very reluctant to throw it out. In fact, I think I'll keep it forever.

I was actually doing work experience at Bliss a few months ago and they asked me to research fashion bloggers - I showed them yours, and hey presto you're featured in the article! Really glad for you x
