52 Weeks of Colour - Patina

Yup, I'm running a little behind!  One of these days I swear I'll figure out how people actually manage to keep up... in the mean time... bare with me.

My loves of the week are definitely this hair from Vive 9 and this skin from The Body Co.  Also, was great to pull out some oldies and blow the dust of this sweater dress from E! Eclectic Apparel and Accessories, I adore it as much today as I did when I originally purchased it many moons ago.

Bloom Dolls & Fast Cars

I've been watching the feeds over the course of the day and everyone has been doing the cutest versions of these beyond adorable Bloom dolls from Surf Clothing Company, so I decided to be a little different and do a sporty spice doll instead!  Seriously folks, don't even ask if you should get these, just go and do it!  At the very least, the weird looks you will get wandering around Shoe Fair make it totally worth it!

Next up the lovely Katey Coppola of Glitterati, was nice enough to send a few blogger copies out of her new pose prop.  There are 20 poses included (10 male and 10 female) and oh my goodness, the fun you could have with this!  The car is a stationary prop only so no drive bys in your future but whether you want to be a total dork (like me) or rock the sexy " which is better, me or my car" look, there is something for everyone.  And of course, as with most Glitterati props, all the poses are super easy to modify so you can make them fit any shape!  I believe this sex on wheels I mean, car prop is out now, so once you have finished at Surf Co, head over to Glitterati and snap this up too!

Last days of summer

It has been unseasonably warm here the last few days, so I felt like running through some meadows celebrating the last glimmer of summer.

When the days are warm but the afternoon bring in a subtle chill, I am a happy happy girl.  Farewell sweet summer, I'll miss you.

Getting back to me

I plurked today that I felt that sometimes we (referring to me) lose sight of why we do things and when that happens, the things we enjoy stop being so enjoyable.   I've been so caught up recently in trying to be artsy that I kind of lost some of the enjoyment I get out of blogging.  I started blogging because I enjoy putting little outfits together, and showcasing some of what the amazingly talented designers of our lil world are able to create.    Artsy may come with a little more practice, but for now I'm going to be comfortable with being me, doing the best I can and remembering why I started blogging in the first place.

52 Weeks of Colour Challenge - Goldenrod

I wasn't exactly sure what colour Goldenrod was, so I spent some time with my good friend google only to find out that Goldenrod is the colour of a Crayola Crayon.  I figured dressing up as a crayon was probably a touch too easy so instead this was my best attempt at using some yellow hues.

To busy gazing at stars

Cause I'm raising the bar, I shoot for the moon but,

I'm too busy gazing at stars, I feel amazing and,

I'm not afraid to take a stand, everybody come take my hand,

We'll walk this road together, through the storm,

Whatever wheather, cold or warm,

Just let you know that, you're not alone,

Holla if you feel that you've been down the same road
