Running a blog can be hard work. There's so much maintenance, scheduling and networking that goes into it that it can all seem a little bit impossible sometimes. I've felt like this before and honestly, I'm super thankful to all of those people who spend their time writing blogging tips for me to peruse. 

We shouldn’t be afraid to ask for and receive blogging help from our peers! That's why I've created yet another list of blog post ideas for all niches. This specific list of blog post ideas focuses on the time that it takes to create them and the enjoyment factors for your readers. In other words: this is a list of ideas that don't take too long to write but entertain your readers all the same! If you would like a few more ideas, here are 40 Content Rich Blog Post Ideas on the top of this list. Without further ado, here are 21 Fast But Fascinating Blog Post Ideas.

Fashion is important. Before someone tries to deny this in the comments, just take a second. If fashion wasn't important; would we really own more than one item of clothing? Would we really be churning up dyes so that we're not stuck with plain, raw fabric? No, we wouldn't. Whether you like it or not, we've all been suckered into valuing style and runways / collections are just one way of doing that. Oh hey! A fashion collection review just happens to be the purpose of this post.


First things first – what is a resort collection? Seeing as how this post focuses around Edeline Lee's Resort collection, I think that's probably an important detail for us to know. According to Google, it's basically what designers call their holiday outfits. These are very similar in style to cruise or pre-spring collections. Yeah, I had to look that up. I'm by no means an expert at fashion and I realise that I'm not qualified to review this collection at all but I thought that I would give my insight regardless. Don't roast me too hard in the comments.

The Best

Ooh, I love LOOK 6. The silhouette that LEE has created is incredibly interesting and I can definitely see the Charles II inspiration throughout the design. It's a two-piece outfit which can sometimes be hard to coordinate but I think that this has been done quite well. There are similar ruffles on both the top and bottom pieces, but it is under no circumstances too matchy - matchy. In fact, the flowy top and tighter pants go quite well together.

The pattern used for the top isn't my favourite (I literally drag it a couple of paragraphs down) but the addition of buttons and the unique design definitely make up for that. The over the top collar is crazy; but in a good way. It's eye catching and, while it may make the shoulders look quite wide or hunched over, completes the outfit. The pants are a lovely clean colour that is completely in sync with what LEE was going for.
LOOK 20 isn't a grand feat in design. To be perfectly honest, you could probably recreate this look with a trip down to any fast fashion store. The outfit isn't an amazingly brilliant combination of colours either; it's just red and white. However, I do love the classically simple aura that this outfit brings. It's basic without being boring. The details on the skirt are in a good place to be seen but not overtake the outfit, and the red sleeves only serve to compliment that.

The Worst

LOOK 3 reminds me of a burlap bag. Look at it. I feel like wrapping my lunch up and carrying it around in this dress. While LEE has definitely kept it consistent with her colour scheme, the overall design is lacking – to say the least. The collar by itself would have been intriguing, but when it's paired with the cinched in waist it definitely looks like someone's pulled on the flaps of fabric on the side and all of the material has been forcibly bunched together at the top. Search burlap sack or burlap bag on Google and you'll get what I mean.


LEE describes the collection as 'polished' but LOOK 7 would beg to differ. While this is by no means a bad piece, it certainly doesn't live up to the favoured commentary. Instead, this is a sweet adolescent piece that has a tween girl vibe as opposed to something more matured. The design is certainly airy enough for a resort climate but, as a result, is quite unstructured in both design and vision.

The simple pattern doesn't do the piece any favours either. Having lived in Asia my entire life, I can confidently say that the fabric mimics those commonly used by street vendors. The loose, boxy sleeves are also reminiscent of some of the popular styles among local sellers. I'm not saying that this is bad but when you can find similar pieces for a couple bucks on the street, it does take away from the originality. While the pulled in waist does add a little bit to the overall aesthetic of the piece, it can't do too much to negate the overall juvenile feel that this dress has going for it.

I would like to clarify that I recieved this book in exchange for an honest review. The key word there is honest. I'm going to be brutally honest in this review because to do otherwise would be shady as hell, so strap in as I take you for a ride. 

I didn't really read this book. I mean, of course I did, but some of the poems were so long and cliché that they lost all meaning to me – and then, with a heavy heart, I skipped over them. I'm really very sorry but I've never been a patient reader. I can't spend my time struggling with one book unless it's of some academic purpose. Although, thankfully, I'm on my summer holidays which means that I can pick and choose what I read in it's entirety. This was not one of those books. Therefore, out of respect to the author and my own personal concience; I'm not going to give this book a rating. I am, however, going to be penning my thoughts on it.

☞ | THE AUTHOR'S CONTROVERSY

SB. Maamari was lovely when she messaged me on Goodreads. She complimented my name, was extremely sweet in all correspondence and just seemed a generally alright person. Nonetheless, it was soon brought to my attention that she had reached out to a reviewer in anger because they had given her a one-star review. I only saw this post-writing my review so this has had no effect on my personal thoughts, but it did make me a little uncomfortable.

Looking back at the message she sent me, I have now realised that she told me to "only review it if you actually like it". Which, again, makes me quite uncomfortable because asking for biased reviews is a little shady. Of course, it's tempting and understanding, but still shady. To be completely clear though, this is in no way an attack on her character. Everyone has bad days and everyone acts out sometimes. I'm not going to hold this against her, but I just thought that it was something to note!

☞ | GASLIGHTING? VICTIM BLAMING? WHAT I DIDN'T LIKE.

My mum on fashion goes a bit like this; she looks down on trends, anything that isn't linen and things that highlight your butt – but, honestly, that's fine. It's her own personal style and I can't really fault her for that. I'm a huge believer that we should all be allowed room to find out own style without anyone else telling us otherwise. Got an outfit straight out a magazine? Brilliant! Found all of your tops in our grandmother's closet? Also brilliant!

I think what's important is that you find something that works for you and realise that style is not one size fits all. Don't cramp other people's style and don't let other people cramp your style either. In this post, I've collected 4 different YouTubers who are amazingly helpful in respects to finding and maintaining your sense of fashion! If you're constantly struggling with the dilemma of having a full closet but nothing to wear or at a loss with all the current trends; look no further! Give all of these amazing content creators a watch.

Erin Elizabeth. Erin posts a whole range of things, but I think that it's her fashion videos that really shine. My favourite video of hers is Shop Your Closet: How to Create Different Outfits From the Clothes You Have which is a really thoughtful video that promotes less waste and more style! Focusing on one item of clothing and creating countless outfits around it has been really useful in clearing out my wadrobe. Versitality is key.

Giedre Kavaliunaite. I have a completely different style to Giedre, but I am in love with all of the helpful videos that help you with your own style! She has an amazing video called From Girl To a Woman | 7 Outfits which I thought was incredibly interesting. I've never seen anything remotely similar in my many hours of combing through YouTube videos and this seems like it would be something quite useful to a whole bunch of people.
Dearly Bethany. I've only just discovered Bethany and, not to be weird or anything, her voice is really really soothing to listen to. Her style is very classic in that, she dresses beautifully yet appears to solely use the basics to craft her outfits. There's a lot of neutral colours in her palette. My favourite video of hers is How to Look Taller & Slimmer – Petite Tips for Wearing Flats because I'm short myself and think that a lot of people would find this sort of thing interesting.
Lauren Messiah. I feel a little bit uncomfortable recommending her YouTube channel to you. While her videos and tips are insanely creative, she does give off the impression that she thinks less of fashion bloggers / youtubers. Personal feelings aside; her videos are amazing! She's a full-time stylist which means that she has loads of insightful information that can make or break an outfit. Lauren also doses us with a little bit of reality when it comes to models and celebrities. My personal favourite of hers is the Pinterest Life vs Real Life series which dissects why Pinterest looks never look quite as good on us as they do in the pictures. I honestly didn't know I needed the videos in my life before I watched it, so definitely give it a try!
