TODAY SOME VERY SPECIAL GUESTS HAVE WRITTEN THEIR POSTS FOR OUR BLOG

Club wow is a women’secret member club that (unfortunately) currently operates only in Spain. The club has launched a competition asking wow girls to write a post related to fashion and topics of interest to women. We’ve received entries from girls that have their own blogs, girls that love writing or dedicated followers of fashion blogs. We’ll fill you in with the details of the prizes next week (Shhhhhhh! It’s a secret!), so watch this space, because we’re sure you’ll agree that they’re really fab!

Below is the winning post:

When I was a little girl, I would spend time flicking through fashion magazines, picking out the styles I liked best. The only condition was that I could only choose one style per page. And believe me, sometimes it wasn’t easy. Perhaps some of you played a game like this, with identical or similar ‘rules’. A little while ago, I was telling a friend about it and confessed that even now (at thirty-something) I still occasionally play the same game. She told me that one of her favourite childhood games was ‘I’ll have that’: she and her sister would flick through fashion magazines and try to be the first to slap their hand down on the prettiest style. “Of course!”, I thought to myself, “As I didn’t have any sisters, only an elder brother, I had to compete against myself, and that’s why I invented the rule”. This seemingly unimportant childhood memory brings a smile to my lips and has made me realise that deep down I’m still that little girl that was fascinated by lipsticks and foulards…and who would avidly devour the adverts in order to choose her favourite styles.
