Fashion girl
My name’s Anna Clarke. I’m 13 years old and I’ve got my own fashion blog.
My dad’s a fashion photographer, so we always have a lot of magazines around the house. When I
was younger, I liked cutting out photos and sticking them on big sheets of paper to make posters. I
liked writing about the clothes in the posters that I made, so I decided to start writing a blog.
I write about clothes and accessories that I think girls and boys of my age will like. I get my ideas
by looking at the clothes that famous young actors or pop artists are wearing. Of course, a lot of
these clothes are too expensive, so I look for places online that sell them cheaper.
When I was younger, I didn’t want to wear clothes that were different from my friends’ clothes.
And many of my friends had very expensive clothes! Now, I’m in not interested in that. Right now,
I just want clothes that are easy to wear. I usually write at the weekend and I try to post something
every week. I prefer to write shorter pieces. I do this because I don’t want my readers to wait a
long time for a new blog post.
I love writing. And if you want to be a writer, then don’t go on expensive courses. The best thing is
to read lots of other blogs and magazines. And then, practise writing as much as you can!
