Style Profile: Yawn, Stretch and Read

Name: Ronan 

Blog: Yawn, Stretch and Read

How did you come up with your blog name?

 Technically my blog name is. 'Yawn, stretch & read' which I came up with when I was like 15. I guess it was like the idea of reading my blog becoming part of your daily routine, but nowadays I guess people know me more as ronanksm from Instagram, which is just my first name and initials.

How did you get started in the blog world?

My sister (who founded ONE-BOUTIQUE) began a blog whilst we were on holiday and I thought it was a cool idea so I decided to start my own.

Your signature piece?

 Hmm.. My signature piece. I guess some form of sportswear, nike / adidas socks. Or maybe my silver chain which I never take off. 

What are your favorite brands/ stores to shop at?

 I love variety, it's difficult to pick a favourite brand. My favourite designers are Marques Almeida & Jacquemus. If I was richer I'd love loads of Acne Studios stuff. I do love adidas though, that's definitely in my top 5.

Where does you outfit inspiration come from?

My outfit inspirations come from anywhere I guess, I don't like to wear the same outfit twice so I'm always just trying different combinations and seeing what I come up with!

Why do you think blogging is becoming so popular?

I think blogging has become more and more popular because of people feeling more comfortable openly expressing themselves which is great!

How do you handle negative feedback or comments on social networking sites?

Haha, negative comments never ever affect me. I only care about the opinions of those close to me, so why would I be upset by someone that I don't know? Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but if someone is asserting negativity outwards they clearly aren't happy within themselves which I think is a lot sadder than some stranger on a private Instagram account telling me that I'm gross. It ain't that deep y'all! Haha.

Who inspires you in the fashion industry?

 I love the band man like me, mainly because of their attitude towards style, it's very "I'll wear exactly what I want, whenever I want no matter if anyone dislikes it." And I admire that. 

Any other social network sites that people can find your blog on?

People can find me on instagram: ronanksm. My personal tumblr: londonerscalling. And my online portfolio : ronanmckenzie.

Outfit of the Week August 18-21

Take a Gander: Celebrity Bands

     These bands that I have here are some actually good bands, and they aren't just good because they have my (and probably your) favorite celebrity, they actually have good sound quality and there music sounds like they put a lot of hard work into it.

M o t h e r

I didn't even know Penn Badgley had a band until recently but I'm really liking there vibes and I listen to them all of the time on Soundcloud. they are sort of what I'm currently listening to as one of my new favorites.

Dayplayer

This made me really happy when I found out that John Francis Daley had his own band. If you dont know who he is, he starred on my favorite show Freaks and Geeks and is now on one of my current favorite show called Bones. The music video's for Dayplayer are actually pretty cool too.

The Rentals

I actually rediscovered this song a couple of weeks ago (I used to listen to The Rentals when I was younger) and when I looked them up, I didn't realize that Maya Rudolph was in the band in which I got really excited.

Went on a road trip. This is how it went...

Let's Talk About Last Night

Sunglasses: My Sister's // Jersey: Ragstop // Boots: Macys // Hat: Forever 21 // Top: Forever 21 // Shorts: American Eagle // Purse: Gift

    Hi everyone! I actually posted this photo two days ago on instagram but I didn't end going anywhere that night. Instead I went out last night, so I just wore this. Like I've said before, I am really bad about taking photos of myself when I go out and I always feel like it's really awkward to ask other people to take photos of me for my blog. Last night I went to a party and I was glad because it was my last day to see at least some of my friends before I left or college. As I was with my friends, I realized that this year was a year of firsts. First time I ever had a boyfriend (we aren't together anymore though), first time I felt like I actually had a best friend (I have a bad habit of pushing away people that I care about. Even though we may fight, there is no way we could ever get ride of each other if we tried), the first time I knew what direction my style is taking (it always is changing), and the big one, the first time I ever felt comfortable in my own skin (I have my days, sometimes it's really difficult for me).

     So yeah, last night was fun and I really learned a lot about myself.

Weekend Photo Diary

pre-weekend selfie

Didn't realize that even back then in the 1800's they wore floral crowns. This is Mary Lincoln wearing a floral crown. 

This poster had amazing lighting so I had to take a photo of it

Union Uniforms

Confederate Uniforms

Lincoln's Coffin

That famous painting that I remember seeing in my US History textbook last year that I really liked. Below the painting they had Mary's actual veil and scarf. They looked really cool.

Went to the Lincoln's house. This is the sitting room. I liked the tapestry purse that was sitting next to the chair.  

Lincoln's room. Fell in love with his desk.

The next day I went out with friends. Saw this at the park.

He actually does this all of the time. On everyone's phone

"Buy Juan, Get Juan Free"

Made a new tumblr. snapchatlovenotes.tumblr.com

     Hi everyone! I was going to make this post a couple of days ago but I wanted to wait until the whole weekend was over and I didnt want to just make up a post that I didnt even care about so... here it is! Friday and Saturday I was in Springfield. I went to the Lincoln Memorial Museum and then to Lincoln's house. I recommend both places if you have never been there. Then the next day I just hung out with friends. Oh, and I also started another tumblr blog (now it's up to 4 blogs now), so you guys should check that out.

     Another Style Profile is in the works so that'll be up in a week or two and I might have my first outfit up in a couple of days because my towns parade/carnival day is tomorrow and wednesday so i'll probably take some ootd's and a lot of selfies.

xoxo
