New Beginnings

Well it's officially here - AlohaKirstie is up and running (welcome!) and it is time to say goodbye to A Yellow Brick Blog.

A Yellow Brick Blog was started back in 2013 in a time of jobless wonderment after many failed attempts to starting a blog. I have always been obsessed with being creative but having zero talent in the art department the internet has been the perfect place for me to pop things together and express what I'm loving.
Blogging has been such an incredible experience for me and as I am now approaching my fifth year of creating, writing and general chatting I thought it was about time my blog evolved with me.

I outgrew A Yellow Brick Blog a while ago and felt like the name just didn't reflect myself, my personality and/or the content I wanted to create. The name for me was a rushed idea and although I loved that it was different and stood out from the crowd, I always knew it wouldn't be forever.

AlohaKirstie is the new and improved version of me! I know over the past year my blogging has been well... a little MIA! From getting a new job, to opening my own business (which wasn't planned!) and everything in between unfortunately it had to take a short backseat, which made me so sad.
 But I now feel refreshed and ready to get back into the swing of things and continue to upload new and exciting content for you all!

You can expect to see lots of the same and lots of new ideas and thoughts :)

The NEW Diet Coke J.W.Anderson Collection‏

I feel like I've been saying this in every post lately but.... I'm so sorry I have been so MIA! I mean you may not have even noticed but I feel like my blog and everything that goes along with it has been totally put on the back burner for the past month or so.
With my work hours I just seem to have had no spare time to knuckle down and get my blog-on which has made me feel very stressed, to say the least, but sometimes I need to remember it's not the end of the world and maybe sleep and chill out time is a prioriety aswell.

So.... onwards and upwards - I can't wait to get back on track and continue with my number one passion as much as I can!

With fashion season well and truly on it's way and new designs and trends popping up left, right and center it would only be polite for Diet Coke to join in.
With previous fashion collaborations including names like Jean Paul Gaultier, Matthew Williamson and Marc Jacobs, it is always a huge opportunity to be able to put your own stamp on that famous bottle.
This season it is the turn of the founding designer of J.W. Anderson - Jonathon Anderson.




These bottles are always such a huge hit and being limited edition they sell out fast. My mum STILL has the gorgeous JPG bottles up in her downstairs shower room and they look SO cute! 

This time round the design has been inspired by the brand's signature knitwear prints, the bottles are covered in an imaginary Italian postcard scene with two different designs to choose from.

Diet Coke were nice enough to send me a bottle of each design and a cute cotton tote bag alongside them which are featured in the photo above!

The full collection features the two limited-edition diet coke bottles (available singularly and in a multi-pack), t-shirts, the tote bag and a premium notebook.
Each bottle is priced at £1.95 and the Collector's Box Set is £29.95 - all of these can be found at Harvey Nichols online - here.
