Hi guy!I
spent more or less an hour and an half to visit all the blogs that appeared on the screen when I select “fashion” as field, but finally, after a long search on the web, I came across a couple of blogs that I want to recommend to you:

1. the URL of the first blog is http://www.psfk.com/category/fashion

This is composed of posts sent by people from all over the world who share the same passion for fashion, trends and new ideas for future collections and cloth creations.In my opinion, this blog is well organized and simple to visit: besides the bloggers' posts, on the right side of the page there is a list of all topics that bloggers can speak about (for example Brands, Technology, Designers, T-shirt, New Collection, and so on). But what impressed me more are the wonderful photos and captivated advertisement that one can see opening the blog. I have always loved reading and watching all the advertisement along the streets or inside newspapers, but to have the possibility to have all them collected together is a wonderful experience for those, like me, that are fashion’s addicted. Obviously, people who write in this blog share their opinions about fashion, write about what they like and dislike and make comments on other opinions. I think that these kinds of blogs could be useful also for fashion’s brands and designers to know consumers’ tendencies and preferences. What about the language, it’s informal but sometimes comments contain some specific terms to describe products and cloth.

Then I changed the field and I chose a more “serious” one: Jane Austen

I love English literature, especially Jane Austen’s works! I think that books as “Pride and Prejudice”, “Sense and sensibility” or “Emma” are the perfect examples of how the love should be. The site that I want to recommend to you, caught my attention because it’s built in an old-fashion way. Colours, pictures and style, all put back the visitors into the 18 centuries life and romanticism. I think that the way in which this blog is created is very important because it catch the reader attention, make him comfortable and help him to enter in that past world. In the same way, also this third blog, always about Jane Austen, is interested and very romantic too. The white background of the first page and the picture of the swan remind a deep sweetness and harmony too.

As regarding the language used in the blogs, it‘s vary and closely linked to the topic they deal with. In all blogs the vocabulary and the register reach the aim pursued in the blog, so the language must be clear, simple, colloquial and informal, as it is in a usual conversation. Sometimes there are technical terms, but they are perfectly comprehensible for those who will visit them.

Hi guys, I'm Alessandra...
I spent a lot of time choosing the right image that could describe who I am, and finally, after an hard work, I selected this wonderful beach.
I love travelling all around the world, I'm exciting when I come in contact with new cultures and people from other countries. I think that one can learn a lot from the contact with other people. But, what I appreciate more is spending my holiday in a place as one in the picture. I think that it's the best way to relax, far from the everyday life, and reinvigorate oneself, before starting a new adventure or a new experience in another place. What is more this photo represents a part of me because of the vivid blue colour of the sky and the sea.
Also the presence of the waves helped me to choose this picture, because sometimes my life and also my mind become stormy, messy and chaotic as the water of this sea.
What about the websites that I usually visit, I suggest you to have a look at:
The first website contains a lot of information about the Island of Fuerteventura, a wonderful place where I spent my holiday last summer. I totally "fall in love" with this place because its landscape is a kind of mixture of mountains, beaches, woods and volcanic stones.
The second one is the BBC's website and in my spare time I like visit it to be informed about what happens around the world.
The last one is a well-known website among all students of the University of Padua. Everytime, when I start work on my computer , the first thing I do is to open this site and check if there are new information about courses and timetable's changes.
