Hey guys! Sorry I haven't posted in a while I've had a busy few weeks! This post is going to be about helping you all to make new friends for this new school year.

Weather you are just starting at a new school or only starting into a new year making friends is one of the most important elements of school life. Friends help you through so much and provide a support group for you during your school life.

In school I was a very shy person and found it quite difficult to make many friends. I used to just surround my self with people I already knew. I mainly had guy friends as I found that it was a lot easier to talk to them.

Here are some tips for making friends in school:

1) If you are put in a class where you don't know anyone don't just sit in the back of the classroom by yourself, have the courage to go over to someone ask can you sit down with them the worst they can say is no. This will show people that you are confident and don't mind being out of your comfort zone!

2) Join a team or club, school is a chance to experience new and different things so try out for different sports teams and clubs, you might end up loving the activity and making some life long friends. Making friends with people that have a similar interest to you is very easy as you will have a topic of conversation to always fall back on if you get to an awkward silence!

3) Smile. This seems to be easier than it really is as it takes confidence to make eye contact with people in a hallway but when you do just smile at them this will make you seem more approachable and people will want to get to know you more .

Those are my 3 main tips for making friends in a new school. Just don't be afraid to talk to anyone! You have to remember that you are beautiful an have the confidence within you to be able to walk up to someone and at least introduce yourself.

I want you to make a promise to yourself right now that you are going to try to make at least one new friend in this school year. You never know this one new friend could be the best thing that's ever happened to you! :)

One Direction

One Direction's look was mainly brought together by a combination of denim and jackets, however Harry stands out my making a statement with his straw had and unbuttoned shirt. The other 4 lads have gone for very laid back and casual looks with denims, jackets and t-shirts. Obviously they wanted to stay comfortable for their opening performance. Their stylist did well but it isn't their best award show look.

Selena Gomez

Selena wears a sleek midi green dress. Her look is always very elegant and sophisticated however I feel as though both leg slits is too much on such an elegant piece. Selena try's to make a statement baring both legs however I feel as though statement jewlery or a clutch would have been a better option for her.

Little Mix

These girls (L-R) Jesy, Leigh-Anne, Jade and Perrie are known for their unusual, quirky style. This look shows how the girls have their own individual styles while still matching colours in order to stay put together. Jesy's floor length black dress is very elegant and compliments her figure very well while the studs and necklace make it more edgy and true to her style. Leigh-Anne's black and white monochrome skin tight dress emphasises her slim waist, her Afro hair style gives an old school vibe to the outfit. Jades cute above the knee dress sits perfectly on her body frame and her head piece links back to her unique style. Perrie's dress shows off her rocky side, her ponytail hair style shows her more edgy style and pulls the whole look together.

Miley Cyrus

Miley always knows how to stand out from a crowd but I'm not a fan of her outfit for this event although being crowned for choice trendsetter I feel as though Miley is trying a bit too hard to break the perception of her Disney girl years. Her sheer blouse should have been paired with a cami top or black bandeau rather than the black bra she has on here. I would have preferred if her hair was put into the quiff she sports at many award shows and the look could have been brightened up with a right lipstick.

Cher Lloyd

Cher is also known for a more edgy urban style. Here she tried to bring that together with a more sophisticated look with a matching crop top and skirt. I like this look but I feel it would have complimented her figure more if it was a one piece dress. Her gold statement necklace helps to bring out the gold shimmer in the top and skirt and helps to brighten an otherwise dull outfit.

Lily Collins

Lily's outfit is right on trend matching black and white through out. Her black and white high low skirt emphasised and elongates her legs but the back of the skirt is a little bit too long as it is all bunched up together in this photograph. I like the colour change in the inside of the dress as it adds something deferent to the outfit and helps to brighten it after all it is summer!
