I know I've talked about the world of blogging before but wanted to touch on it again. I know for others who don't blog, it might seem a little superficial, strange and self-absorbed. I beg to differ, but can see how it can come across as such. To me, blogging is a creative outlet to share with anyone who cares to read it, but also for myself - almost a personal, electronic diary (that the world can read, so, it can't be too personal). Since starting my blog almost a year and a half ago, I've met so many fantastic girls within the community, won many amazing things (including make-up, jewelery, clothes & shoes), had a blogger friend send me gifts, been sponsored to host give-aways, surprised myself with some of my DIY's, and had many people in real life and online tell me I've inspired them, helped them or simply that they love coming to read my blog (and that is the most rewarding).
Before blogging I never knew such a 'place' existed where I could throw all my mumbo-jumbo thoughts and photos in one place. I would always, 'Capture the moments of our lives' (cheesy, totally, and meant to be) with photographs and then pollute Facebook with said photos. Sometimes it was a bit much (some people will say blogging is a bit much, but to each their own) and it never felt quite right showcasing a slew of wardrobe picks on my part. I longed to have some place I could combine all that but didn't know how or where. Then I discovered blogs through a friend and another convinced me to start one and the rest, well, the rest is history... or, a year and a half of history.
Do you blog? If no, have you ever thought about starting a blog? What would you blog about? I'd love to hear.
Just a few photos of my 'Life Before Blogging'...

* yes, that's me as a child; check that hat & seal sweater.
Not your standard 'covet' post from me, true, but after laying eyes on these kicks, I couldn't stop drooling. While I'm more of a fresh white fan (when not in heels, that is) these Nike Air Yeezy (designed by Kanye West) are killing it. Sadly, they are sold out ... but you can still get them on eBay for a pretty penny.

I snapped these photos super quick the other day on my way home from work. It was one of those days where I was completely exhausted and needed to get some zzz's asap. I got home, dumped the work clothes, pulled on some sweat pants and crawled into bed. I was out like a light at 5pm until the next morning (okay fine, I did wake up twice but just stayed in bed and went back to sleep). Sometimes those are just needed (and to Stephanie, I did relish the moment). The next day I felt super rested and back to my old self.

Hello Monday! Did everyone have a nice weekend? Mine was busy, as I knew it would be but went fairly slowly (surprise, surprise). I snapped a few photos with my iPhone over the weekend to share with you all.
