Sunday Diary:4/28/13- Hey There!

After lots of planning out and thinking, I have finally decided on doing something called a "Sunday Diary" after reading Tavi's first blog "Style Rookie" and the style of how it was written I decided it was a good idea to take you into well, my life. "The Style Rookie" is basically Tavi's online diary made into a blog. Clearly, I'm not an exact copy of Tavi Gevinson and I don't plan on making "How Fitting" an exact copy of "The Style Rookie". I like how my posts are more like articles from a magazine and more straight to the point. That's my blogging style. I would never change it for I like how there is a big difference between Ann Louise and Tavi Gevinson (as fabulous as she is). Tavi takes you into her world and almost forms a relationship or even bond between herself and the reader and I admire that. I feel as though most of you don't know me. Or know me as the quiet girl in class who is awkward beyond anything and seems to know a thing or two about fashion.
I have been trying to bring new things into "How Fitting" my little project started out as just some fashion blog and now has turned into fashion, music, and lifestyle. That is a big deal to me. I first started posting articles whenever but now I have decided on becoming more frequent. So after nights of staring up at the ceiling wondering what the hell I was going to do I finally came up with the idea of this:

Sunday: Sunday Diary! I am really exited about this new blogging day for it'll give me a chance to share amazing experiences, weird thoughts, and just well the awkwardness that is Ann Louise. 

Tuesday: Music and/or Lifestyle! With my vlogging videos being filmed on Monday also, I am willing to put my youtube-ing aside as a lower priority to focus on something that means more to me (not that I don't LOVE vlogging) and talk about different music! This is something I'm pretty freaking exited about for I can't explain how much I could go on and on about music and now have a place to rant, joke, and suggest every week! I am also going to be spending Tuesdays writing up a lifestyle blog! As much as I'd LOVE to do both,  still being a student it is harder for me to do everything and some weeks I will have to choose between the two and only write one post on Tuesday.
Wednesday: Fashion blogging! This is what this project was always about. There is probably nothing that I love more than fashion. These days I will be covering what I usually write about: get the look, trends, DIY, and all that good stuff. I am hoping you guys will stick with me through me my weird fashion trends.
Friday: Friday Extra! These posts will just be fun (and maybe a little stupid) posts to start your weekend with a fun start! I did an experiment with this kind of post last week and to my surprise, it worked out rather well!
Beginning/Ending of months: In the beginning of the month, I will be spending my time writing up "Monthly Fashion Bibles" about the fashion trends you guys should try out this month! Even though these posts aren't necessary, I almost feel attached to them for my first ever post on this blog (my baby) was a March Fashion Bible and that's where I got all that positive feedback to keep writing (a BIG thank you to you all)! At the end of the month, I am very exited to make a "Things You Must See" post where I basically give you lovely readers a preview of what will be coming next month in all categories (except for fashion)

I'm really exited yet scared about this new scheduling thing. I just want you guys to know that I'm EXTREMELY dedicated to this blog and that even if I'm never as successful as Tavi Gevinson I will still be here, holding on to make it there.

Things You Must See- April

Happy April! Now that we've said goodbye to the month of March, it's time for something new! Over the past few weeks I have come up with a list of things you must see. Warning: After reading this you may no longer have a life.
Music
Over the past couple months I have begun to say good-bye to the Pop genre and bands such as One Direction and singers like the lovely Taylor Swift and have gotten into a serious obsession with Punk and Rock.
The best Punk band I'd recommend would have to be All Time Low an edgy band with the members Rian Dawson, Zack Merrick, Alex Gaskarth, and Jack Barakat. Most of their songs have a certain edge of attitude and defiance that anyone who likes the Punk Rock genre will instantly fall in love with.
I've also lately been obsessed with "Punk Goes Pop" a collection of different artists who take popular pop songs and turn them into punk. It's really awesome to see songs that you hear on the radio be remixed into this genre. The album features bands like: MayDay Parade, The Ready Set, Pierce The Veil, Sleeping With Sirens, and tons of other amazing punk bands.
Rock On All You Punk Lovers. Rock ON.

Television
One of my favorite shows in the world would have to be The New Normal, a comedy about a gay couple and their surrogate and her homophobic grandmother. One of the many reasons why I love this show is for how unique it is and how funny you can take a situation that many people are going through.
Another show that I highly recommend is the FOX comedy New Girl. New Girl is extremely funny and the characters oddly relate able. It's quirky, funny, and it will get you addicted.

Books
I have the attention span of a three year old child so I tend to never finish books but this month I am proud to actually say that I have finished a novel and genuinely enjoyed it. The Vast Fields Of Ordinary is a novel about a young gay teenager who has only come out to a couple of his friends and himself. Throughout the span of the book the main character, Dade meets some pretty cool people including an open lesbian, a gay drug dealer, and an overly awkward girl. To be honest, I actually enjoyed reading it. Judge me.

Food
When it comes to food, all I can seem to think about this month is the fact that Mega Stuff Oreos are in existence. Not double stuff. I'm talking Mega freaking stuffed. All I can say is that they are magical.

Hope you have an AMAZING April! I'm dearly sorry if you no longer have any life after getting into any of the things I suggested!
