Marvelous Monday!
Pas de Deux by Natalie Shaw
- Gabi at Young, Fat, & Fabulous posted a fabulous interview with Beth Ditto from Style.com. Totally worth watching!
- Wanna know what to get me for Christmas? These needle & spool of thread earrings might actually convince me to wear earrings on a regular basis! (I have, I think, three ear piercings on each side but have only been wearing earrings in the middle ones since I was 19…I don’t even know if the other piercings have healed up or not!)
- Two great DIYs: Lady Smaggle has a Vera Wang wrap shoes tutorial, & the girls at Monoxious have a cute little men’s shirt to women’s skirt tutorial.
- Handbag Heaven has another great giveaway going! You can enter to win copies of Winona’s book, Closet Confidential. Check it out!

- Having an identity crisis? Never fear, for Miss Destructo is here with tips on creating a press kit.
- Not only does Swagger 360 feature street style I actually want to look at, there was an excellent post last week on fashion vs. style vs. swagger.
- Jaka’s Tea Party is back online, and she started off the relaunch with a post about November fifth.
- Naomi at Ittybiz posted about the dark side of authenticity. Good read – this is what the endless posts that say “be AUTHENTIC and you will be successful! and everything will be rainbows & bunny farts!” leave out.
- Fashion Mythbusting: But I’m supposed to like it!
- Miss Led sounds like one hell of a kickass lady. Someone I’d like to know!
- Oh, also, I’m trying out jojoba oil and the oil cleansing method…I will let you know how it goes. At first I accidentally picked up juniper berry oil & I was horrified at the $18 price tag for a teensy bottle. I then remembered my year of fascination with essential oils and realized I had the wrong thing, which is good because who knows what would have happened when I rubbed than on my face! Anyways, I’ve only done it once so far but my face felt very clean afterwards & wasn’t super oily in the morning like it usually is. Expect a full post soon!
How was your weekend? I hope your week is getting off to a great start!
Oh, well, that’s just GREAT! Monday afternoon, 1000 emails to answer, and you’ve given me a list of a bazillion things to read. GREAT.
Thanks for the link. And thank you for saying “bunny farts”. Made me giggle.

I’m glad you liked the post! I’ve been all fired up the last few days and the fifth always gets me going. Thanks for the love!

I LOVE your new layout.
Thanks Naomi! I hope you enjoy the distractions
No problem Jaka!
Thank you, Alicia!! That means a lot to me, since you have good taste, haha. I was worried it might be a bit gothy but I think it fits well.
A truly wicked post
Thanks for the mention!
Love the ingeniousness of the shirt/skirt! That article on over trendyness is so true…every so often you see people that you just have to roll up your eyes to.
