Meet the Authors

A writer from West London who likes to look at subjects from a slightly different perspective to most, whether in relation to fashion or anything else. Ideas can originate from a lot of places but the important thing is what you do with them.

An aspiring fashion journalist with an undying love for shoes, lipstick and vintage clothes. I'm in my last year at school, hoping to go on and study Fashion Communication at university. I have a blog - www.unlitskyline.blogspot.com and I dream of owning a walk in wardrobe and endless pairs of Manolo Blahniks. I spend most of my time shopping, talking, reading and writing about fashion.

In an attempt to avoid the double-dip depression in Europe, I've moved to Auckland for a year or two. Currently working as a Content Editor for Auckland Council and worked previously as a Copywriter for a travel website - a lot more glamorous! Bu I love living in Auckland; there's always something to do in this city. I also enjoy reading, illustration and eating Timtams which if you've ever been over here, you'll know how stupidly addictive they are - more so than Jaffa Cakes!!!!!!!!!

I’m 21 year old English Literature and Language student who is in constant turmoil between spending my loan on clothes or books. Whichever I choose, I like them retro, old, vintage, classic, whatever you wish to call it. My other loves are Chinese beer, KFC and music. I’m a poorly spoken Cumbrian, now residing in Salford, enjoying writing for magazines on the side of studying.

I’m a 21 year old English Language student and aspiring writer, born and bred in the North West. I seem to spend most of my money on over-priced make-up, fashion magazines and clothes I’ll never wear more than once. I have a passion for writing and fashion – whether it’s about the latest trend, style advice or my own wayward musings about personal fashion dilemmas – I like to write about it. I’m also partial to folk music, tattoos, and constantly changing my hair. The plan is to eventually live it up in London writing for some glossy mag – well, a girl can dream, can’t she?

"Still haven't found what I'm looking for"....but if I knew what that was it would be a lot easier to find! Hi I'm Charlene, from Edinburgh. I love writing, eating junk food, walking, shopping, make-up and travelling. I love talking to people and lots of my inspiration comes from spending time with family and friends. I update my blog as much as I can and reguarly write feature articles, reviews and random cynical pieces about singledom!"

I was originally born in the US but moved to England when at a young age and have lived in both South and North England. I am an aspiring journalist and an amateur photographer. Currently I am finishing my degree at Sheffield Hallam in English. My two great loves are my boyfriend and my cat Discobelle. I would find it difficult to live without my friends and good food. I have a blog that I try to keep up to date as regularly as possible: http://petitepeaches.blogspot.com.

I’m a young writer who is terribly in love with the idea of falling in love, and sometimes terribly naïve if you didn’t gather that from my opener! I have a… mixed, love life - dating, relationships, horrendous break-ups and painful as relationships can be, I can’t help but getting involved and usually picking them apart whilst I’m in them, and long after I get out of them. From the awkward first kiss right down to the “I think we should see other people” - I usually have something to say about it! These documentations are usually scribbled down on my blog in the form of confused ramblings, and now, they’ll be scribbled down on LoveScene too.

When I was a child I loved spending hours dressing up in my Grandma’s gorgeous, vintage jewellery and playing on her old typewriter that made the most charming sounds when you punched the keys and reset the carriage. I would write adventure stories about me and my friends or imagine I worked for a glamorous magazine in New York, writing columns and features about my childhood woes. Growing up with such a romantic imagination has not always lead me to happy endings but the adventures I’ve been on with my friends along the way have given me plenty of writing inspiration and shown who the loves of my life really are. For now I’m 22, single, living in my very own New York- Manchester, and collecting a gorgeous wardrobe to one day share with my granddaughter.

Hi there! I’m Dawn, I’m 23 and my specialist category to write about is Fashion. I enjoy all things Fashion and Photography related, experimenting with custom nail art, bold make-up looks, reading Fashion/Lifestyle magazines, drinking coffee and dancing to Motley Crue! I have a passion for Rock and Metal music, enjoy rockin’ out at gigs and live with my writer/musician boyfriend in Preston (Although I am a Liverpudlian!) I am constantly keeping myself updated with what happens in the Creative industries and one day (with a little help from my own perseverance) I hope to make it as a Fashion Journalist.

Walking around picking up the fragments that curiosity helped me to find resulted in an unmanageable amount of clothing hung, folded and packed into every nook and cranny of my flat. I am a twenty three year old from Newcastle currently living in Manchester with a degree in Fashion and a passion for Textiles. I love to be involved with anything creative, whether its writing fashion blogs, making jewellery, drawing or designing prints for clothing and home accessories. I love trend spotting and comparing high street and designer fashion.

I’m 28 years old and utterly incapable of holding an emotion or idea inside my head. I have come to recognise that my ‘filter’ especially in relationships is broken, just ask the innocent man who is now my boyfriend. Life, love, relationships how they work and why they don’t both fascinate and bewilder me in equal measure. I have been described as having a whimsical approach to life which I think was meant as a criticism but I quite like! Important things? Love (however cynical I may seem), music, literature. Life lessons I have gathered so far? Honesty is key, and value your real friends because without mine I really have no idea where I’d be!

'Whenever I date a guy, I think, "Is this the guy I want my children to spend their weekends with?"'- Rita Rudner Everything will work itself out, apart from the relationship. Emma is shortly to complete her degree in English and Creative Writing at John Moores University. She lives in Liverpool and is rather proud of the single and rather crazy life she lives. You will probably bump into her on a night out in Liverpool, she is searching for her next story that she can turn into a cynical sarcastic tale of singledom.

I am 22 years of age and currently studying Law part time at Northumbria University as well as being a full time mum to a child who is 2 years old. I have so many different interests that I never have time for them all. They range from reading, dancing, shopping, writing, makeup and nails, playing and having fun with my daughter and so much more. I choose to write for the relationships section as I love that there are so many aspects and different views that are taken by different people. I find this topic very interesting and I want my writing to influence and help people with issues and problems they may face whilst experiencing dating and love.

As an aspiring journalist, I spend my time living and breathing writing while having an endless love affair with fashion on the side. I have more clothes than sense and will spend countless hours searching for the perfect additions to my shabby chic apartment. My dream in life is to be successful and ultimately happy – whilst wearing a ridiculously high pair of shoes.

I am an eighteen year old aspiring journalist living in London. I’m a first year journalism and creative writing student and also al little bit weird, but aren’t we all. I am deeply interested in any aspect of writing and media. Love writing, fashion, culture, music, travelling and famous quotes: "I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?" — Ernest Hemingway

I'm 19 years old, currently studying Fashion Communication and Promotion at Nottingham Trent University. I love art, photography, great films, spending time with my amazing friends, bickering with my favourite sister and being silly with my mum. I'm my own worse critic, always determined to do better, be better and achieve more. Hopefully, in the future I can continue writing and continue to work within a team of visual, creative people who share the same passions I have.

Thirty six pairs of shoes, twenty three bags and an obsession with lipstick, designers and the role that clothing plays in defining generations fascinates me. I am a lover of style who has the unfortunate problem of sharing a wardrobe with my boyfriend. I have a degree in English and I am a passionate writer with a dream of my work inspiring films. I am also an adventurous explorer who once made a pair of flip flops go with every single outfit for a whole six months.

Hannah Renowden graduated from Greenwich University in 2004 with a Bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Media Writing. This is where she met the love of her life in circumstances possibly stolen from a Hollywood romcom. She writes about popular culture, fashion and food in her blogs. When not writing she works as a Children’s Bookseller. Having spent most of her life pottering about in the south of England she now lives in Glasgow and is a bit cold. Read her personal mind mince at http://hannahrenowden.wordpress.com.

20 years old and residing in Salford for the time being. I am currently studying for an English Lit degree. I have a slight obsession with magazines and all things celebrity. I have also done a few work experience placements at different magazines in the hope of working in journalism one day.

I love writing, adore Fashion and dating stories can be an adults scary story before bedtime. I scribbled out 'must save for driving lessons' on my to do list and replaced it with 'must save for Jimmy Choos'. A degree in Sociology and experience in Fashion, I live for putting my creativity to paper. Chocolate controls me, as does most food, and music is what feelings sound like, that's why I dance like no one is watching.

18 year old, but not your typical teenager! I love all things creative and of course all things fashion & celebrity! I have wanted to be a journalist since I was a young girl sitting in my wendy house writing stories! Maybe I'll write for a big New York magazine one day... I can dream, right?

Hi I’m Jessica a 20 year old English student from Leeds! Want to know a bit more about me? I love girly nights out, weekend’s away, chocolate brownies, reading magazines and to laugh and have fun. I’m interested in writing about fashion trends, shopping and style. My career prospects are (as ever) undecided but I hope the future holds lots of holidays and a large pay check! X

Achieving as much as possible in little time. An aspiring journalist with a loyalty to vintage clothing, bright lip colours and the all-round atmosphere of the media. I am a 19 year old original Geordie, borderline adult but still young enough to postpone becoming 20. Currently living in Leeds studying an undergraduate journalism degree, but heading towards the bigger buzz of London to pursue everything I am working towards. A great lover of festivals, fashion, film, music and culture, of which I hold experience in each. “This world is but canvas to our imaginations.” - Henry David Thoreau.

I dated, I got engaged, I married, I got divorced, I dated again, I got engaged again, I'm now married again with two beautiful daughters, and occasionally I remember to breathe! By day I'm a merchandiser for a well known beauty range.....which has obvious perks!

Katie is a born and bred northerner and is currently living in Manchester with her boyfriend Jim and best mate Meg. She has just completed her degree and is now going on to do an MA in Journalism. Hopefully a move down to London after this will secure her a job at a celebrity gossip magazine...but she'll always be a northerner at heart.

A 27 year old freelance writer and lover of all things romantic. Just like my first class Journalism degree, I want to find a first class man who has the banter, unique looks and creative spirit to have me coming back for more, but kissing all those frogs in-between means more inspiration for my blog and more advice for those ladies who feel hard done by when it comes to the hairier sex. Love is all I know, and writing about it is what I do.

Aiming to be a young British Carrie Bradshaw by writing a collection of my experiences relating to dating, sex and relationships and exploring the questions that have risen because of them. Honest, curious and bought up to idolise Samantha Jones, I have a lot of stories to tell and a lot of questions to ask.

Student. Bad philanthropist. My idol is Charlie Brooker, it is not George Michael. I tweet far far too much. Currently studying Linguistics at UoM, aspiring journalist and lover of all things warm, edible and easy to open.

Hi I’m Liz and I imagine that this is what writing a “personal add” must feel like. I’m a freelance journalist who graduated from Liverpool John Moores University in 2010 with a degree in Journalism and a love of all things fashion! I’m also an avid tea drinker, clicking the kettle on, I kid you not, about 20 times a day! I’m also unfortunately a TERRIBLE, dreadful, abysmal and any other adjective that conveys all things atrocious in the kitchen! To me there is no place more foreign than a kitchen and I’m renowned amongst my friends as a great friend (I’m sure) but a really cataclysmically bad cook. I’m the only person I know who could burn a pot noodle and successfully blow up a microwave with a mince pie, enveloping the entire flat in billowing black smoke! I’m an aspiring novelist and broadcast journalist and I love all things chocolatey. I also have a major dress fixation rivalled only by my best friend who studies Chemistry at Oxford and an obsession with Ian Somerhalder and his piercing blue eyes.

Lucy Sanderson is a freelance writer, music journalist and a daydreamer. Her days are filled with feeding her dual addictions of internet dating and charity shopping, in between baking cakes and talking to cats. Her love for going to gigs has been the focus of her creative life for the past few years, but she is tentatively venturing out to discuss her love life and generally disastrous dating experiences on LoveScene. Always an optimist and a true Disney enthusiast, she knows that there will be a happy ending one of these days.

I am Maya and I am a lover of fashion, Sex and the City, and celebrity news. It is no wonder I write for LoveScene Magazine! I love my laptop, blogging and being creative with my wardrobe. My favourite lazy pass-time is browsing magazines, online and offline with a glass of wine as the rain beats down on the skylights. xx

I’m a 21 year old aspiring writer from the East Midlands with a passion for beauty, fashion and all things associated with style. I have a passion for feature writing, observational type musings and the odd thought provoking polemic. And shoes.

Natalie Jayne Vass is currently studying English Language (BA) at the University of Manchester with hopes to pursue a fashion journalism career. A writer and contributor for the Mancunion, the university’s student newspaper, and a fortunate receiver of a placement at her local newspaper the York Press, Natalie's love for writing has been spurred on and on. The fashion section of LoveSceneonline is of most interest to her and she hopes to detail the good, the bad and the ugly of today's fashion parade. Although, celebrity news is a guilty pleasure of hers as E! News and OK magazine satisfies her curiosity for the rich and famous culture.

I am a 20 year old student currently studying English Literature at The University of Exeter who aspires to one day have a career in fashion journalism and live in New York City (think Carrie Bradshaw). I adore anything fashion related and have a particular passion for losing myself in the pages of Elle and Vogue. I’m also the author of ‘Nina Francesca’ at beautylivelifelove.blogspot.com where I share my passion for clothes and beautiful things.

Phoenix is a typical girl in her mid-twenties. Recently single after 3.5 years of monogamy, she is documenting the joys and perils of the modern-day urban jungle that is dating in London. Whilst at university she wrote for the newspaper's sex column, and has rediscovered her love of discussing the finer things in life from a sociological viewpoint (and without a man to complain about it). With a keen eye for fashion and a job that requires keeping up to date on all the scandals in celebworld, she is focusing on writing about love sex and dating.

I’m a 24-year-old media and journalism graduate from the University of Chester. Since the joy of a student loan I have a slight obsession with fashion; my enthusiasm often leaves me penniless but happy. Writing about high fashion makes me feel that bit closer to it; I have a devout addiction to Vogue, Elle and Harper’s Bazaar and treat my Chanel handbag like a baby, (it drives upfront). Nandos has a special place in my heart, along with my lovely boyfriend of 5 months. Disney happy endings are real; you just have to know where to look.

Talk to random people on the tube, eat three slices of cake, look up at the sky when you're walking, say yes to everything and fall in love with everyone you meet. 28 years of reading, writing, seeing and loving...some time later and I'm still as curious as I ever was, teaching and writing as much as time allows me to. I was born and bred in London; a city which re-captures me every now and then amidst written words. The dating game? I've been there, come back and all I got was...a great job writing about it.

I am 20 years old and a bit of a daydreamer. When i am not talking people to death with my opinions i am writing about them, or anything else that pops into my head. Therefore it is only natural that i dream of becoming a professional writer. Loves; music, fashion, creative writing, living in London, the sea, celebrity gossip, American television, diva's, laughing, my friends and family, people watching, food, glossy magazines, singing at the top of my lungs, dancing like no one is watching, the unexpected, getting lost in a book, any film starring Colin Firth and living life to the full.

Self-confessed Vogue addict, proud owner of 23 pairs of shoes & 17 handbags - at last count & Carrie Bradshaw wannabe. 21 year old English student from the fashion capital of the world - Glasgow!! I've wanted to be a writer ever since I was a little girl walking around in my Mum's heels with lipstick all over my face! . I recently got engaged so I can't wait to get stuck into all things wedding-related, May 2013 & I'll be skipping down the aisle wearing my own version of THAT Vivienne Westwood number from SATC.
