Issue 11 #InTheSpotlight – the top 10!

Yes, it’s that time again…we’re excited to reveal our top 10 #InTheSpotlight entries!

Just over 180 of you sent us your links to consider, and we really enjoyed spending the weekend having a good read of each and every one.

Picking a top 10 was incredibly difficult, but we have managed to narrow it down to this selection of amazing blogs.

In the end, we decided to go for the blogs we found ourselves naturally returning to – the ones that made us hungry for more content.

Well done to everyone who entered themselves; sometimes it feels strange nominating your own blog for something but we’re really glad you did!

Three of the blogs below will be featured in issue 11 of the magazine – exciting – and we will contact the top three within the next couple of weeks.

Have a read of them, comment below with your favourites of the 10 and don’t forget to tweet us your thoughts, too!

1. The Scarlet State
   
   
   We love how vibrant and creative the content on Sarah’s blog is. She talks about everything and anything, including taboo topics and her favourite products. We can’t wait to see how her blog will continue to grow and develop.
2. AliceMayPurkiss
   
   
   Alice was diagnosed with breast cancer at the age of 26 and she shares her treatment experience alongside fashion, food, beauty and travel content on her blog. We love her open and honest style of writing and her sense of humour, which she regularly shares on her blog.
3. I’m Peter
   
   Peter’s blog is one of the most visually appealing ones we have come across. We love the clean and crisp design of his posts and his photography is always beautiful. If you’re looking for a combination of lifestyle, travel and fashion posts from a male perspective then we definitely recommend you check out Peter’s blog.
4. Mini Adventures
   
   
   Milly’s blog is teeming with colour, which we love! She hopes to inspire people to get out there and have a bit of fun and this sense of adventure comes across brilliantly in her blog posts. For some serious food and travel envy, make sure you check out her Instagram account.
5. Cattitude & Co.
   
   Tara proudly writes about periods, feminism and sex on her blog and we really like her no holds barred approach to blogging. She describes her blog as a ‘reflective diary’ and we love her intimate and personal style of writing.
6. Rebecca Coco
   
   A combination of fashion, beauty and lifestyle posts, Rebecca’s blog is a one-stop destination for clothing and makeup recommendations. We love her colourful photography and the honest opinions she shares in each and every blog post.
7. Zeena Xeena
   If you’re looking for some serious style inspiration, Zaineb’s blog is perfect! We love the advice she shares with her followers on a range of topics, including working with brands as a smaller influencer, keeping fit and why travel is important.
8. Salt and Chic
   
   Another favourite fashion blog of ours, Salt and Chic is a travel-fashion hybrid. Amy has plans to travel to Amsterdam, Madeira and Reykjavik and we can’t wait to see updates from her travels and what she’s wearing in each destination on her Instagram account and within her blog posts.
9. Farheenxo
   
   Farheen mainly blogs about beauty, and we find her product recommendations and reviews are incredibly useful. Her blog is one of the first we go to for information on new product launches and we also really enjoy reading about blogger events in her posts.
10. Not your type
    
    Areeba blogs about art, fashion, books and fan girling on Not your type. We really love her interesting and colourful photography style and find her book reviews are brilliant for finding new reads.

As we mentioned at the beginning of this post, we will be picking three of these lovely blogs to feature in the magazine so don’t be shy in letting us know which are your favourites.

If you want to nominate your own blog for #InTheSpotlight we’ll be opening nominations again in December/January so keep an eye on our Twitter page!
