<br />
As a relatively new blogger, I thought it best to answer a few questions in an effort to be a little bit more transparent. You may have noticed that I don't have any pictures of myself which isn't usually synonymous with personal blogs but after attempting to start a few blogs I have decided to allow myself some growing time. So in an attempt to foster some intimacy with you, I thought i'd answer a few questions.<br />
<br />
The questions cannot be attributed to one source and there are some of my own - I hope you don't mind! p.s. feel free to recommend any future tags/content ideas in the comment section. This post certainly reads like an old 2009 blog/ youtube post! Ahh, the golden years!<br />
<br />
Again, I hope you enjoy x<br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Are you named after anyone</b> - No. Though i'm not sire that I would have liked to have been. So perhaps it was for the best lol. And as an extension of that, I never wanted to have a twin, I loved my independence. Although i'm not sure how that would have been possible...</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>If you were another person, would you be a friend of yourself? </b>- I think so.

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>Scary movie or happy endings?</b> - I don't watch scary movies or action movies because I scream all the way through and count it as a waste of time afterwards.</span></span><br />
<br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><b>What was your favorite/least favorite subject in High School? </b>History or English/Graphic Design. It is far harder than it looks!</span></span><br />

<br />
Well hello there and welcome to my blog!<br />
<br />
After starting a number of personal blogs and never quite being able to commit I optimistically decided on this one! And goodness let's hope it sticks!<br />
<br />
'From Portobello with love' is a London fashion, beauty and lifestyle blog from the perspective of an inquisitive 20-something year old Londoner! Expect a lot of street style, lots of editorial shots and some of my own (I hope). There'll be womenswear and menswear though the majority will be the former as (yes, you guessed it!) im a woman!<br />
<br />
Why Portobello? - well why not? It's a stunning section of the capital with a market which epitomises the ambience and the fluidity of London fashion. As do Shoreditch, Brixton, Chelsea, Peckham and the others! Point being it worked well for the purposes of the title but won't restrict the content. I promise!<br />
<br />
What kind of brands will be featured? - I intend to feature a range of high street and high end brands. I will certainly try to mix it up!<br />
<br />
So here we go and make sure to follow the blog on its social media platforms via the links at the side of the page x<br />
<br />
Love<br />
<br />
D.<br />
