New Beginnings

          A friend (who is no longer a friend but who probably had the best intentions at the time) once told me that before I started blogging I'd have to find a reason, a unique way of looking at something, a niche. He advised me to focus on something that no one else had featured before, otherwise I'd be another internet nobody. For a while, I followed this advice. This thought became my bedfellow through many sleepless nights; how could I put a new spin on something, how could I make something appeal to the cool cyber kids, who have already browsed all of everything? I started to feel very small and defeated before I even started. 
          Today, I finally realized that the more I think, the less I do. If I flip an idea around in my brain too much I get scared and, like the little rabbit of a girl that I am, run away from it. So, although he probably was just trying to help, I'm throwing a big whatever at that once-friend's words of wisdom. I'm going to blog. And it's going to be disjointed. And sometimes boring. In all honesty, I hope you like me and I hope you like what you read. If not, you'll move onto something else on your own accord. But I'm going to let you know right now: I'm pretty entertaining, in all my flighty glory. 
          So, my raison d'être? I have this undying need to talk about clothes. And shoes. And beautiful things in general. Do not confuse this with a want, dear reader. It has almost gotten to the level of compulsion. I flip through magazines or see someone on the street and think, "Good God! I need to tell someone about such-and-such!" You are that someone. So, let's be friends, yes? We'll talk about neon, and lace, and the occasional cupcake. I have a lot to say, and I take a lot of pictures but stick with me gal pals and gentle guys! It's about to get chic.
