Apparently the way this works is that I will forward this on to 10 people and give you all 7 facts about myself. Whoever I award this to will then go on to do the same, if they so please.
So, 7 facts about me....
- I wasn't always into vintage. I generally used to walk around in combat boots, studded belts, and spiked jewelry. Ahh, youth...
- My fashion heroine used to be Audrey Hepburn, and while I still believe she's (probably) the most beautiful woman to ever live, I'm smitten with Myrna Loy right now. She could pull off a wide range of different styles and always look stunning and gracious and perfect.
- I was vegetarian and then vegan for 3 years. The diet didn't fit my lifestyle too well, and while I applaud any who can eat like that daily and stay healthy, I am now happily back to being an omnivore.
- I started doing CrossFit about seven or eight months ago. It's helped me build up stamina for simple things (like carrying laundry up the stairs! Ha...) and also to shed the dreaded extra 15 lbs. that afflicts newlyweds. I love showing up at the box in pearls and with painted nails and then doing deadlifts and back-squats.
- After a good fifteen years of hating pink, I am a definitive 'girly girl' now. Nine year-old me would be so disgusted.
- My dream job is to sell vintage, but I can't bear to sell off any of my finds. (Hence why I have a random 1950s nurse uniform in a box somewhere...)
- I love to draw and sketch, and I'm currently working on a small series of greeting cards and bookmarks featuring ladies of the past.
Now, my winning bloggers!...
