I figured after staying up multiple nights in a row until 4 AM(!!) just to read your archives i figured i should start commenting or seek help for being a closet creeper. And like someone else said above, I liked it when it wasn't all fashion-y too! <br />I read your blog not just for all the fun, fluffy happiness going on, but for the crazy, sometimes crummy stuff too.. <br /><br />and I'm happy you don't always post the best of the best because it doesn't make the rest of us feel so damn bad about ourselves lol. I like 'real people' blogs that have life's celebrations, sadness, anger, funny random shit, because i can relate to them the most! the happy, go lucky, 'my life is perfect and i'm a size -2 and i'm independently wealthy' type blogs don't catch my attention and certainly don't hold my interest for over a YEAR! (which is how long i've been reading your blog). <br /><br />ok wow, sorry for the novel. i should put some chapters in this guy. anyway, i meant to ask you, do you like the passion pit? not sure if that's your style of music (might be too umm pop-psychedelic lol) but anyway, april 11th @ the commodore, i'll be there and you should come! I'll try and stay sober this time. ok, maybe not, but i'll put in some effort lol. <br /><br />that's all for now!! no stopping this blog pleeease :)GShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02152654313991683357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-81718664400304365532010-01-22T21:42:17.797-08:002010-01-22T21:42:17.797-08:00i was laid off a couple years ago and was pretty m...i was laid off a couple years ago and was pretty much devastated. the company i was completely invested in when out of business and i sunk into super deep depression. i was living with my parents, interviewing all the time with no luck. then i got a job i hated even more. i much preferred sleeping in and watching movies even though i had no money. but i finally made it to a job i love and i'm insanely happy. i started grad school and have an awesome apartment. even when i'm sad, i'm leaps and bounds from where i was. it will get better. even on the days when you think NOTHING will turn around, there's a modicum of hope hiding somewhere behind it all and it will all get better.<br /><br />and i love your blog. you're witty and silly and super pretty.kayla!https://www.blogger.com/profile/09624473405031695755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-45960597081786934672010-01-22T18:00:44.498-08:002010-01-22T18:00:44.498-08:00Like everyone here, I hope you keep on truckin'...Like everyone here, I hope you keep on truckin'.

Someone posted one of your boots on another website, i clicked the link, found your blog and i related to you in more ways then you will know.<br /><br />So - i started reading, from your very first post, all up to today. It took me a few days. (i had nothing better to do, and you were entertaining and i loved looking at your life, etc).<br /><br />I liked it best when it WASN'T a fashion blog. In fact - to be totally honest, i hated when you made the switch to fashion. I liked your old stuff - when it combined your life, work, travels, etc etc. You are very entertaining. It's almost as if i'm living vicariously through you.<br /><br />I say - screw the fashion blog. they are boring anyways. just do you. post your thoughts, life stuff, etc. lots of pics (ppl are very visual).<br /><br />and - to keep people coming back, you need to post more often. at the very least, 2x a week.<br /><br />keep writing, even if it brings you nothing. because it DOES bring you joy. and that's all that matters, right?<br /><br />if only you knew how much like twins we really are! lol <br /><br />don't give up!<br /><br />(oh! and i have gained 30 pounds these past 3-4 years and i've gone on the South Beach Diet (today is day 2) to lose the weight. so far so good - i suggest you try it too! i'm already down 4 pounds (3 from cal counting and this last one from day 1 of SBD).sparkle queenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07197853409798504041noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-5413203749286395192010-01-22T12:13:05.028-08:002010-01-22T12:13:05.028-08:00Trust me, sweetie, you're not the only one out...Trust me, sweetie, you're not the only one out of a job and feeling bad about your body (and, for many of us, it's a heck of a lot more than 15 lbs!).

Seriously, no matter how out of shape you feel, you are way more gorgeous than alot of the other bloggers I see, in fact most of them. And you don't need to have a model's figure and an infinite budget of expendable income to maintain a fashion blog. Those type of circumstances make you REAL, relatable, and attainable to your readers, you know? Those are the types of blogs I prefer to read. The REAL lady with a naturally beautiful figure (which you have), and even with that bit of self consciousness, because we can all relate to that, we all feel that way. I prefer blogs that have wardrobes that are attainable by the average lady, working or not. A wardrobe that they can remix and stir about to find new, creative combos.<br /><br />With that sad, if that is not something you enjoy right now, if you don't have the creative energy to spend on remixing your wardrobe (because you need to spend it on your amazing writing instead), thats totally understandable, and I will miss you fashion side of the blog. But I think I will keep following no matter what because you are such an interesting and complicated person in your writing, and the level of the writing it enjoyable. But I wanted to make the point that you CAN fashion blog if wish to, you don't need to be a size 0 with a million dollar income (or ANY income!).<br /><br />Take care, and keep smiling, beautiful!!Kendrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799471208196142659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-46740269224831092042010-01-22T10:51:22.402-08:002010-01-22T10:51:22.402-08:00Thanks guys, it makes me feel better to know that ...Thanks guys, it makes me feel better to know that I don't have to have a narrow focus and can blog about whatever!<br /><br />Also, to nip any thoughts that I'm being frivolous, I'm not saying I AM 15 pounds overweight but that I've gained 15 pounds, which makes me overweight for ME!Wanderlustinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05997835666384194750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-77598924718627572732010-01-22T10:08:29.428-08:002010-01-22T10:08:29.428-08:00hullo there---i have been reading your blog for aw...hullo there---i have been reading your blog for awhile and i don't think i have ever commented (maybe i did once?) but basically i think your blog is MORE interesting when you write about things other than fashion, something i was actually thinking about that the other day. also, your taste in music is pretty rad and i like the photos and stories about your trips. so keep blogging. you might attract a different band of followers and it might take time but it seems like a bunch of people still think you're awesome. also, have fun at coachella! i have gone twice (2004 and 2005) but now i live in AK and it's too too expensive. hope you have a good weekend & a better 2010.arexanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22009816.post-75456799482554359422010-01-22T08:06:02.290-08:002010-01-22T08:06:02.290-08:00hey,
