Attention All Book Fans!

Books are one of my favourite things. I'm talking like in the top five of my favourite things list. So when at my old work we recieved a pair of earring books. How could I not buy a pair?

Mine are a pale pink. And by now almost everyone I know now has a pair. They are simple the coolest things, and so many people comment on them.

The picture I got was from a site about how to make your own: www.wikihow.com/Make-Book-Earrings

The page is true to its word about being a great gift idea, every book lover I know loves to wear their book lover status on their sleeves (or ears as the case may be).

Legging It

For some reason this winter I am all about tights. Last year I did just fine with a pair of black opqaues and some fishnets. This winter so far I have collected:



Two black Opaque

Black ribbed

Purple Opaque

Purple Ribbed

Pink Footless

White Ribbed

Red Opaque

Grey woolen cable knit.

The white ribbed and the black ribbed are so far my favourites. I wore the white ribbed the other day with black ballet flats, black mini (for me) skirt, and an oversized white cardigan. So very cute, a bit mod but not at all costume like.

And this love of mine shows no sign or hint of abating. I am loving all of these, I actually want more despite being mocked by my sister for keeping them all in colour order.

I think I had forgotten how practical they were, being primarily a skirt and dress wearer. So far, so versatile!

Grand Beginnings

So here is the beginning, my introduction, the part where I explain why I am doing this.

I wish I had some grand reason for this, but sadly it is as simple as this:

Fashion is fun, make up is fun, it is a way to show the world who we are and what we think. It is something personal. These have been tainted, by a mass market world, where individuality is often greeted by snide looks and caring about how we look is often thought to mean we are vain.

The other reason this blog is being created, as there is so much fashion wise I intend to do but never get around to. This ranges from simply putting together outfits rather than just grabbing jeans, to learning to sew and create jewelery. Im hoping this will push me to pursue this.


So I have created this space where I can chronicle, or knowing me babble, about my love of tweed, pink lipgloss or my experiments with hats. Hopefully, its going to be a lot of fun!!!
