Ohhh, where to begin... Well, I guess I should first thank my girlfriend Griz for introducing me to this blogger, Kaylah, whom I'm going to introduce to you..!! So far I love everything about this cute girl, and find that I share a lot of interests with her; and also find her very inspiring -- and it's always nice to 'meet' inspiring people, as there are plenty out there in the world. :)
Kaylah is a "thrifting queen", which you can see in her home decorating and personal fashion style, which I just loooooove...
She has such a cute style, and I love the way she puts everything together. She inspires, and reminds me of my love for vintage shopping -- which I've been severely slacking at..!! I can't remember the last time I've been clothes thrift shopping..?? I guess you get discouraged as a lot of times you can't find anything good; plus you find that a lot of vintage clothing runs very small in size and mostly fit; and since I've gained weight from my old days of thrift shopping, I can't seem to fit anything, even when I do find a good piece. AND, when you do find a good piece it's worth it in the end, and it's something that stays in your collection. I have so many aweeeeeesome dresses in my own collection that I don't wear anymore cause they don't fit me, but won't throw out..!! They're hanging in the 'waiting-to-lose-weight-clothes' section of my closet. Which by the way, every girl has that section in her closet. You'd think it would be motivation to get in shape so you can finally wear them again; or perhaps more a sad reminder of why you don't. hahaaa. Changing subjects, just a tad bit here, I'm looking for the first time ever in my life to get a personal trainer. Well, he's my friend -- but nonetheless still very exciting. I only want to lose 20 to 30 pounds. That's it. You'd think I could do this task on my own, but alas, I have failed; mainly due to lack of motivation / laziness. And the main inspiration? Fashion, of-course. I love fashion, and there's so much I want to wear but don't because I feel it doesn't look good on me, and that's because of weight gain. I think I'll do my next blog entry as an introduction of these vintage / and not-vintage pieces in my closet, that quite frankly are ready to come out and be worn already. I can't wait.
In the meantime I will get inspiration from such adorable and stylish girls like Kaylah here. :)
She's also a nail polish addict and has her nails neatly done all the time...
A true cat lady (4 cats!) ... She even collects cat figurines, just like yours truely, haha...
And takes a lot of suuuuper cute photos of them :)
She even has the words CAT LADY tattooed on her knuckles. What a cute idea.
She's a crafter and sells her stuff, The Dainty Squid, on etsy -- which you can check out HERE.
I love her blog. She takes great photos, which you can also check out:
I am definitely a fan, and it's going to be my new favourite. :)
Also while on her blog, she pointed out another crafter on etsy, Katie-Louise Ford , who makes the cutest vintage looking dresses -- like this one:
How cute is that?! It inspires me to try and make something similar; pattern of a dress, maybe something baby-doll-ish, with that peter pan little-girls collar, which I've always looooved. And of-course the kitty cat print. :)
I'm sure though if I try to make something like this it won't be exactly the same, since, ummm, I don't know how to sew... *gulp* ... Plus I still have my black and white babydoll dress that I'm working on (stillhaven'tstarted). Ohh well, just add another thing to the growing 'To Do' list...
xoxoxo...
