The Mysterious Allure of Strangers

Jan 12, 02:52 AM

This isn’t fashion related in the slightest but it was too good to not blog about. I came across this site Missed Connections a few minutes ago and it’s probably one of the loveliest things I’ve seen in a while.

If there’s one thing I’m a master of it’s having those awkward connections or memories of strangers I’ve come across in day-to-day activities but too scared to say anything. Then the person lingers in your mind for the next couple of days and there’s nothing to be done about it.







Plus these illustrations are absolutely adorable. It makes you wonder if one of these were about you….Missed Connections.

Stylish Blogs of 2009

Jan 11, 06:18 PM

I’m honored to be featured among Weardrobe’s 100 list – the top 100 style blogs of 2009. Considering the somewhat newness of the blog I feel rather cool making the list. Plus my eyes were opened up to a whole new lineup of style blogs I didn’t know existed. New style inspiration is always golden!

Alright. Alright

Aug 12, 03:00 PM

So I stopped updating basically because I’m a perfectionist and I can’t figure out the blogging/commenting program I’m using to my liking. I’ve come to see through secret methods that you guys keep visiting my site everyday, so I figured I might as well give you something to look at.

As you may know (or if you didn’t, now you do) I’m a somewhat active member of the booming fashion site better known as Lookbook.nu. Each month they do a “Beyond the Hype” feature and interview on an influential member on the site. For the month of August guess who was picked. None other than yours truly. Check out my interview! I tried to make it as entertaining as possible. You know me, never a dull moment.

The End of Instant Film Satisfaction

Jul 25, 12:39 AM

Throughout life we have regrets, things we wished we could have done different and things we wished we had tried. This case rings true in my life as well; I’m no exception. For me though, its simple. Nothing life changing. I wish I had tried Polaroid film. I wish I would have branched out into the world of instant film and polaroid goodness. Just this past year I have grown fond of polaroids and it figures once I learn to love them, they announce the upcoming discontinuation of the beloved polaroid film.

I found this site the other day: http://polanoid.com
Immediately upon searching I came across beautiful, whimsical and dreamy photos all taken with some form of polaroid film. My heart hurts a little bit looking through them.

I don’t understand. Where have I been? This is the look I’ve been trying to get in my photography for years. This is me: “Whats a polaroid?”

I Always Put Too Much Milk In My Cereal

Jul 23, 12:41 AM

So here I am sitting again. Three entries in a day. I’m not off to a bad start. Actually I’m up and beyond the point of a daily (photo) blog, but hopefully you aren’t complaining.

I’m an avid internet surfer or so I like to think. I’m all for fashion blogs and pointless places to promote ones photography and then I came across this:

Lookbook. Have you heard about it. Hype! Hype! Hype! It’s the newest and coolest internet fashion source and how proud am I to say that I’m a member of it all. It’s a collective fashion conciousness…That should say it all. For all us fashion buffs or those who think we are, we take photos of our unique clothing style daily and post it for the world to see. If other members are digging your look you they HYPE you. You have the privilege of your HYPE button turning purple and that little hype number increases once. It’s such a satisfying feeling knowing you’re popular. It can’t be denied.

This entry wouldn’t be complete unless I showed a little selfless promotion. Of course I have to give you a screencap of my most popular look. It’s a natural thing to do. You know you would.

I know someone else is a member. Fess Up.

Who am I? I'm an average girl located in an average city in an average state. I have this intense love for photography and this rather insane love for clothing.

I'm a thrifter through and through and here I am.
