I’m so glad ess_jay posted this on twitter. INCREDIBLE. It makes me wish I had turned my 8 really hard steps video into a narrative, but I’m the sort of person who helps people illustrate stories not write them! Anyhoo, go watch!

Fanciful Friday: Friday Fance
In my head I’ve been calling these posts “Friday Fance”, and in fact I’ve been using “fance” as a word a whole bunch more lately. I hope my readers know what I’m talking about when I bust out the fance. Someone call Oxford, we have a new word! Today I want to talk to you…

In search of: plus size vintage
Daydream Lily posted about Renee and Angela‘s new venture, {twin set}, which is an online vintage fashion store with some really gorgeous pieces. If you are bigger than an AU size 18, you might have discovered that plus size vintage is pretty scarse. As a result, I am so used to dismissing straight sized fashion…
