The birth of a new fashion blog, yeah so what...

The idea hit me like a ton of bricks, well maybe not that hard, more like a ton of pricks. I had been toying with idea now and then, mustering, the courage to admit that it was in fact the right thing today--to bring my fashion world and writing world together. So, here I am blogging about fashion, costume history and design. I had been putting off the idea of blog for far too long. It was after reading "The Satorialist"--a well created blog by a man with an eye for fashion and a heart of gold.
I wanted my first blog to have a theme, an objective, precisely a motivation. But I'm hitting my writer's wall. So, instead of falling a linear direction I will instead write what I know in any way that it comes to me. Here goes...
Let's first start out with what I like; I like color, pattern, texture. I know it's overdone and completely cliche, but I like everything Carrie Bradshaw encompasses--her style and her voice for fashion make my heart melt.

I like "sexy"--think Brigette Bardot and Catherine Denunive circa 1958. Reds, and cat eyes and big hair, OH MY!
