. . .not myself, necessarily, but my new blog. I have decided, for various reasons, that in addition to my other personal / bookish / "hey, here's what I made today" blog, I wanted this blog, a place to talk about all things style. And let me say this: I don't know that others would consider me wonderfully stylish, but I do think I have a definite sense of style. And I've always had the feeling that, above all, I really don't want to look like everyone else, even when wearing trendy things. Also, I really believe that style is a lifestyle. I want the way I look when I go out into the world each day to be a reflection of who I am or how I'm feeling or who I want to be on the inside, at least to some degree. I know that I wear and do things that others may think to be silly, and really, I don't care. I suspect that sometimes people may thing, "Why doesn't she lay off the eye makeup?" And the answer is, quite simply, that I like it. I like color. I like experimenting. I like a different look for each day. Oh, and you should also know that I like wearing pink.
So tentatively, here's the direction I forsee for this blog. I want to start off, I think, with a series of posts reviewing various brands and favorite products in the world of cosmetics. Let me say going into it that I'm a big fan of Benefit, Philosophy, MAC, and Bare Escentuals, but there are some super fab, economical finds out there too. At some point, I'd like to expand into videos of makeup tutorials. Let me say that I know there are tons of these on YouTube already, but it just sounds like fun. I'd also like a place to post my crafty and sewing projects.
The bottom line is this: I want this blog to be a way to celebrate personal style, rather than having to apologize for being so vain. After all, style is lifestyle.
