Curiosity Killed The Scott

This has been something I've talked about doing for so long now! I never seemed to actually make a blog, nor did I think I had the perseverance to keep an interesting blog up and running. Well I finally decided to go for it. Only time will tell I suppose... I'm Scott, 20 years old from Belfast, Northern Ireland. Paler than Casper with legs so dangly a grasshopper would be envious.

With that glorious image implanted, I'll tell you a little bit about myself. I'm 20 years old, and have recently completed an HND in journalism at Belfast Metropolitan College. I learned a lot, and got to express myself through writing, which has always been a passion of mine. I won a Northern Ireland writing competition in 2010 and was commended the same year in the 'Foyle Poet of the Year Award'. After realizing I wasn't going to be the next J.K Rowling or poet laureate I thought Journalism would be a good choice for a career. Don't get me wrong I enjoyed studying it (mainly for the freelance vintage fashion column I got to produce for our student magazine 'Impress') but I think I'm ready for a different venture definitely doing something creative and challenging.

I turned down a chance to study a degree course at Sheffield Hallam University, as my heart really wasn't in Journalism anymore. I need to be doing something on my own initiative and definitely need to be a part of a creative industry. I am never going to be the type who is chained to the corporate desk. I am looking forward to gaining experience and hopefully a placement within a creative industry and see where life takes me. This is what this year is all about- discovering what I want to do. I thought this blog would be a good creative outlet for 1. Writing 2. Gaining valuable contacts and 3. Posting about things which interest me and sharing my opinions and tips.

Anyway, I'm waffling. I plan to blog about fashion, culture, art and film. All through a Scott filter of course! I plan to use my passionate ebaying skills to showcase a range of affordable trends from catwalk to eBay, and prove that you can create an expensive ensemble or even re-style tired vintage buys to create something special. I also want to post about events and cultural bits and bobs which really capture my imagination. Also some DIY and revamp posts plus outfits of the day and a few reviews as well!

Oh, and check my eBay store regularly for affordable vintage pieces and tacky (nice tacky) clutter. I'm in a bit of a hiatus at the minute, but it should be up and running within a month or two.

Thanks for reading and I hope this blog stays persistent, even when I'm not so...
