Followers (Part II)

Following yesterdays mild panic that I had deleted a follower, imagine my surprise when I logged on this morning and found 3 new followers and 5 comments on my blog.
I nearly died of over excitement!

I’m going to try and link to each new follower I get – reading other blogs means

just as much to me as writing my own and I love finding new blogs to read.
Jessica: The Pink Needle
I have read Jessica’s blog a number of times and I almost can’t believe she is
following me. Check out the cute pins and $4 red shoes!

Jamie: Same New Story
I can’t remember how I found this adorable blog but it quickly got promoted

into my favourites! I want a kitty and to play with puppies in the pet shop!

Amy: I Then Shall Live
A new and exciting find! I can’t believe that she is only 20 and married

with a step child, an amazing and inspiring blog.

A huge thank you to my new followers, I am looking forward to your new posts :)

My 100th Post!

Well here we are… the 100th post! I can’t really believe that I have written that many, especially considering my confession in March and that I haven’t had a blog for very long. (my first post was Feb!) How wrong I was to think that I didn’t need a blog!

It took me while to think about what I wanted to write about for my 100th blog – I knew it had to be something special! So in following the theme of lists that have been batting around the blogging world (here and here) I decided to start my own!

10 ways my blog has changed my life (for the better):

  1. My favourite colour has changed to yellow (a rather substantial change, red was my favourite colour for a long time!)
  2. I’ve realised its fun to takes things as they come and do something on a whim.
  3. I have discovered some wonderful people (see huge blogroll!)
  4. I read more – about everything!
  5. I have a fringe (I love it!)
  6. I took the plunge and tried red lipstick (also love…)
  7. Flickr, Etsy and Poladroid - need I say anymore…
  8. I've accepted design no longer dominates my life (tough after a 4 year design degree)
  9. I now look forward to getting on a computer, rather than dreading it.
  10. I appreciate the little things more and how lucky I am to be in love.

I started my blog as an attempt to offload my negative emotions, however it has become a celebration of things I like, things that make me happy and distractions from the negative aspects of life… which really is an awful lot better.

A cute dress...

I always enjoy blogs about fashion even if I don't take it that seriously. I've wanted to post about the Banana Republic dress I got in a charity shop for £3.99 last weekend for a while - Bargain!

The buttons go at the front but I reckon I could get away with wearing it the other way round as well. I love it. Just need to get a pretty little belt to pull it in a little and I'll be sorted!
