So apparently this week was my two year blogoversary? I am not sure how that happened, it kind of snuck up on me, but my lil' ol' blog just turned two! I can't believe that much time has passed. I have been occupying this space on the internet for two whole years. Boy oh boy what a crazy two years it has been. I started off blogging while living in Halifax and doing my internship. Then we moved back in with my parents here in Hamilton. We stayed there for almost a year and then last summer we moved to Colin's dad's house. Then this past winter we moved into our own place again (finally!). Since this blog started I have lost my grandpa, my family's loyal protector Pepper, my baby rabbit Luna, and our kitty Sable. In the last year we have also gained our little rascal Cloud, a place to call our own, and my career is starting to turn in the right direction. The last two years have definitely had their ups and downs, and Ia m really glad that I have had all of you to share it with. I have really enjoyed blogging about my style, sewing projects, body positivity and whatever else floats my boat.

Looking back at older posts I have definitely grown a lot, and in more ways than one. My photography has improved, I have found my own sense of style, I have mostly stopped shopping at chain stores and make or thrift most of my clothes now, thanks to this my sewing skills have improved too. I don't think I have ever regretted starting this blog and for the most part it has been an extremely positive experience. At the beginning I tried to regulate this space too much, but I think I have found a routine that works for me. Blog what I want when I want, lol! And don't worry your pretty little heads, I don't plan on quitting anytime soon and I would sure love it if all of you lovely folks would stick around for the ride. Thanks for all of your support and kind words over the last two years, hears to another 2∞ years!

One Year Blogoversary Top 10

This is actually a picture from my birthday, I did not make a cake to celebrate my blog birthday!

In honour of my one year blogoversary this week I thought it would be fun to do a top ten of my favourite outfits over the last year. I cannot believe it has been a whole year already, and what a year it's been. My style has definitely changed (for the better I think), I am actually wearing the clothes that I want to wear now. I am kind of embarrassed to look at some of those earlier posts to be honest, what was I thinking?! I think my photography has improved a bit too, the natural lighting and outdoor shots make a huge difference. I am glad that I have stuck to my New Year's goal of taking more outdoor photos, it really is a lot of fun. Adding more of my sewing projects on here has also been great, I like sharing what I am working on with other people.

When I started this little blog  I had no intentions for it to turn into a body positive fat acceptance blog but I am so glad that it has. I have "met " a lot of really cool people through that movement and it has helped me become a better person. There have been some hard time too of course, no year is safe from at least a little heart ache, but this blog has helped me get through the rough times. Thank you to all of my readers new and old who have stuck it out with me, here's to another year at least!

Without further ado here are my top 10 outfits from the last year:

February 6th 2013 Capoting Around

It was hard to pick only 10, I had to veto a couple, but I am pretty happy with my choices. These aren't the most commented on outfits or anything, just the ones I liked the best. I picked Capoting Around as first because that the was the most fun to photograph. It was one of my first outdoor shoots and it was really enjoyable. There is a decent mix of old and new here, and you can see the style progression I think. I hope you enjoyed this as much as I have and  I hope you stick around for more fun in the future!

Colin wanted to contribut too so he said I shoul dmake you watch this happy birthday video. It's pretty funny.
