Why I Blog

August 14, 2014

I’m not a writer. So why do I blog?

Some days I have no idea. I started this blog just shy of one year ago after discovering a beauty blog. She also happened to receive Birchbox, and thus my love obsession with beauty subscription boxes began. I started writing reviews as an “easy” way to share a part of myself with the rest of the world. Shortly after that, I realized I wasn’t really enjoying that. I wanted to do more, write more, and share some of my other passions.

Fashion Blogger Outtakes – Oh Hey Friday!

August 8, 2014

So, truth be told I almost forgot today was Friday. Probably because yesterday felt so much like Friday (because I’m taking today off from work) and I’ve been super confused. I’m off to Dallas this weekend, for a little blogging fun at The Hundred Event. This is my first blogger “conference”, but let’s be real, I’m just using it as an excuse to travel. #sorrynotsorry

I saw a piece today on i-D about how fashion bloggers may be ruining fashion for us as consumers on Instagram. As a quasi-fashion blogger who follows some of those big fashion bloggers, I get that.

But that comes at a price, to the tune of several thousands of dollars worth of merch if I want to recreate that look myself. For me, and probably most of you, that’s just not accessible.

5 for Friday

June 27, 2014

We interrupt my normally scheduled outfit post with a 5 for Friday instead. Sorry, life happens sometimes, and my resident photographer was out-of-town for the majority of this week. So, that means no photos since I don’t have a tripod, and I’m not about to try to figure out how to use one.

Anyways, here’s 5 things that happened this week: Continue reading →

Shop My Closet

June 9, 2014

Something I’ve been meaning to do for at least a month now is sell my clothes to some of our local shops that buy/sell gently used clothing (you know, the Plato’s Closet, Buffalo Exchange, Crossroads of the world.) The only problem? I haven’t done it. That’s how this Shop My Closet idea was born.
