My More! Magazine Feature




This week my 'Anatomy of a Room' feature got published in More! Magazine and I thought I'd write a little post on it. Sorry about the photos, it was quite hard taking pictures of a magazine. A couple of months ago my sister put her gorgeous room forward for this feature as More! where looking for interesting rooms in Scotland. One of the other Scottish girls pulled out and the magazine asked my sister if she knew anyone else that could take part and as I was on holiday she sent a picture of my room and they accepted. 

So the week I came back from Ibiza, More! sent a photographer to photograph me and my sisters rooms. They asked us to lay out a few things that were important or special to us so that's why my books, shoes and makeup brushes etc are on display. I was really worried when I found out I was to be in the photo too and I didn't see the finished photos before they were published so I was even more nervous. Fortunately, they turned out quite good and I don't look as bad as I thought I did.

I'm really happy with the way the feature turned out, although I didn't say most of the things they said I did but I guess they had to make it a bit more interesting for readers.What do you think of my feature? Rebekah's room should be in it in the next couple of weeks.

Also, I'd like to mention that I went to the Glasgow Bloggers pub quiz on Thursday night hosted by the lovely Paula and had such a great night. It was my first blogger meet up and it was so nice to meet everyone in real life and chat about beauty and fashion all night long. My team sucked a bit at the quiz but we did win for the best team name which was 'Untitled Post' and I won a lovely ring along with other goodies, so thank you for organizing such a fantastic night, Paula!
