Hi!

Well done, you, for managing to find a blog in these modern days, when such Internet antiquities are sadly out of fashion.

This actually used to be a blog about fashion. I started it back in 2008, using it mostly for teaching what I figured out about colours, body image, and personal style. If you were around back then you might have seen some of my hand-drawn graphics about Defining Style floating around Pinterest, or a series of blog posts about how to style a pixie cut.

I’m afraid those style-related blog posts have been put tidily away in my own personal digital files, though, and thus can’t be found here on the blog anymore. Here’s the thing: I’m older now (closer to forty than thirty, in fact), and the opinions and ideas expressed in those old blog posts just haven’t grown with me.

There have been many a time when I’ve considered just closing down this blog, but I do still like to write, and I want somewhere to put things that isn’t just a dusty journal that’ll never see the light of day. So, the blog remains. You’re very welcome to stick around.
