First post - everyone has to start somewhere!

Hi everyone, (god that was an original way to start a first blog post wasn’t it?)
Believe it or not I actually spent a ridiculous amount of time wondering how to begin this post. I couldn’t help but to keep thinking to myself, what do I say to people that have no idea who I am? What if nobody cares what I have to say? So before I talk myself out of this whole thing (believe me it took an embarrassingly long time to grow a pair of balls and actually start this) it’s probably a good idea to tell you a little bit about myself and why I’m starting this blog.
My name is Ellie (always a good place to start) and without sounding like a massive cliché, I am absolutely obsessed with fashion and beauty. I am one of those people that could – and more often than not do – spend hours and hours scouring my favourite blogs, watching my favourite YouTubers latest videos and mentally making a never ending wish list of all the items that I want need in my life! And that really, when it comes down to it, is why I thought it was about time I did my own blog. If even one person could read something I write and find it enjoyable, interesting, useful etc. (please god let me have at least one reader, please god let me have at least one reader!) the way I do with other people’s blogs, then it would make this whole thing worthwhile!


When I’m not doing those extremely important things above, I’m actually a small part (admittedly an extremely small/probably insignificant part, but a part nonetheless) of what goes into some of the shows on your TV screen. I work in TV production and having just finished a stint on BBC’s Young Apprentice and having a couple of weeks off before going back to work on The X-Factor for the live shows, I thought this would be a good time to take all of my favourite things in life:  anything fashion/beauty related, TV production and writing, and combine them all together. And with that I bring you “the Elle next door” I hope if anyone does eventually see this, that you enjoy my blog. Please leave a comment or ask any questions you have, I’d love to hear from you : )

P.S if you got to the end of the post and see this then a) thank you and b) i'm extremely impressed, that was one hell of a ramble!
