The Chictopia 10 conference was inspiring as a non-blogger. I don't have much experience blogging nor have I ventured out of Chictopia - my first experience. The care the conference speakers put into their blogs and the new way it's being taken seriously as a form of social media set my curiousity alight.
I found out yesterday, March 1, that I am awarded Style Icon standing for March on Chictopia!!!! I could not be more excited!!!!!! I could not have done this without the awe-inspiring support of the Chictopia community. "I couldn't have done it without you" is horrifically cliche, however, it's quite literal. Without the votes, comments, and members becoming my fan I would not be Style Icon. Thank-you Chictopia and fellow Chictopians! You are the best!!!
I'm also very pleased with myself and how my style has improved. When I turned 21 two Augusts ago I decided that I was a lady now and I would not wear jersey t-shirts I would wear blouses. I developed my love for lipstick at that same time. I love how feminine applying and wearing lipstick makes me feel - no matter what the shade!
(I still wear t-shirts, obviously, but I have moved towards my image of ladyhood.)
I got this trench from Costa Blanca years ago and love it!
I thrifted this skirt on my trip with Lydia. It's not a contemporary length but I love the classic cut. I bought it for the colouring and fabric. I checked the tag when I got home and it reads "Jeannette Miner/Paris/MADE IN FRANCE." This is an incredible find for a Western Canadian thrift store.
Hello blogging world!
I also received a novel in the mail today. Vladimir Nabakov is my favourite writer. His work is hard to find. (WHICH IS A HORRIFIC SHAME.) I found this copy of Glory, which I have never heard of, on Etsy. I love his prose; it's soso beautiful.
"A tactile sensation is a blind spot; we touch in silhouette." -Nabakov, Ada, pg. 81

Welcome to the independent blogging world. I am going to follow you because you are one of my style icons :) I love your ultra feminine lady-like style, it's so refreshing that someone in their 20s enjoys the styles of the 30s and 50s (when being a lady what key). Can't wait to read more and see what you have in store for your space in the blogging world!

Welcome to blogger! We're friends on chictipia! Congrats on becoming a style icon! Please feel free to check out my blog :)
So happy that you started a blog! It's hard work, but a lot of fun (and addictive! as Chictopia is). I was sooo delighted when I saw that you received Style Icon this month. I was seriously rooting for you! And, thanks so much for the sweet note you sent me on Chictopia; I've just been terribly busy and haven't responded yet, but I super appreciated it and was so happy that I was able to meet you in NYC. Hopefully again sometime soon. Love, Annie.
That blouse is so beautiful. I still like t-shirts but lately all I want to wear is blouses. Love the color of the skirt too!
