Feature in online magazine, Tê Au!
Check me out! I'm a featured fashion blogger in the new issue of the online fashion magazine Tê Au! How awesome is that? This magazine is quite a nice read; it's targeted toward the younger fashion enthusiasts with a boho and/or vintage vibe, featuring style collages, articles on trending seasonal items, and style outfits from some of the magazine contributors themselves. It's a really inspiring mag, and I'm so honoured to be featured in this latest issue! They also offer ad space in their magazines, if any readers here have a shop or something... ♥ (Once I get SOULMATES up, I might contact them.) Seriously, check 'em out.
They're hosting their magazine on Issuu.com, and while you have to be a member to read the magazine in full and subscribe to them, I actually really would recommend registering on the site; there are quite a number of great magazines on this site including the blooming Tê Au up for reading:
Fierce Magazine (only one issue up, sadly)
PRESS the Fashion Magazine
Fashion Illustrator
Asianaires
FAN THE FIRE (formerly LOAD)
I Love Fake
Qlix
PINNACLE
Gosh, going through these mags makes me want to whip up something of my own...maybe I'll take a leaf from Jeffrey Campbell's latest lookbook issue and make something for SOULMATES when I have everything completed? Hello, inspiration bug, nice to see you again.

Thrift store haul (Featuring a video!)
Some notes before watching:
• Taken with a less-than-high-quality built-in webcam and mic on a laptop. My DSLR's memory card can't write video data fast enough to take one!
• I talk kind of fast at points, too fast perhaps. This is due to slight anxiety -- not quite about making a video, but that people were walking by my room constantly, talking loudly and cleaning, and these are people who don't really even know I run this blog. With paper thin walls/doors, the idea of them overhearing me, or the video picking up on misplaced talking, was a large worry of mine. Lame, I know.
• This is why I played some possibly irritating music on the other computer, to create some ambient sound to drown them out. Alas, it's Indian instrumental stuff, so I don't know if the pitch or sound is going to be grating for anyone watching. Sorry if it is.
• Aforementioned music is George Harrison's Wonderwall Music.
• SOULMATES PREVIEW!
• I'm spacey (you might catch on to this, slightly, during the video) and completely forgot to comment on just how ridiculous I felt while thrifting: wearing velvet leggings, carrying three velvet shirts (at one point), velvet palazzo pants, and a velvet skirt. I looked like a crazed velvet-seeking lunatic. It was silly.
Credit where it is due:
Jean Greige's Black Friday post that I mention in the beginning;
Olivia Harrison on Lookbook whom I reference twice;
'The missus' (to be) aka Kathryn.

Friday I'm in Love (returns!)
Lets just pretend I never dropped the ball on this weekly thing of mine okay? ♥
Anything uncredited (non-linking images) were found floating on Tumblr.














I am tempted to mimic the last photo with some kool aid dyeing.
Might try to shoot a video of my thrifting haul from Wednesday. Yeah, a video -- because I know you all are dying to see me awkwardly monologue about clothes. ♥
