new cardigan! well not really...






heey everrbody.

I'm on outfit 19 and I haven't worn this cardigan yet! which is weird because I usually wear it a ton. ...So you're probably going to be seeing a lot more of it from now on. Also, I really hope I have the time this weekend to work on redesigning my blog. I feel like it needs a lot of work and cleaning up and I am NOT computer savvy...At first I really wanted my background to be this woodblock painting, because

a) Hiroshige is my very favourite painter, and this is pretty up there on my favourite paintings my him.

b) It's a painting of foxes, and a really lovely one too. I love the colour scheme.

c) I'm kind of going for a fox theme here..kitsune is fox in japanese...

d) I guess I wanted to resist the trend of pristine white blogs that I see everywhere. although I can't deny they look neat, tidy, put together, and nothing distracts from the pictures, I wanted something unique that reflected my personality and design....so I picked this painting and colour scheme.


however...it's been like this since January and now I'm getting antsy to try and actually design something myself...draw my own fox....maybe try and make picture frame templates or something..make it look cleaner.

anyways, I guess we'll see!
