Big Ups
| For the inaugural post in what I hope will be my crafty, eclectic, rambling and hopefully somewhat entertaining blog, I want to give propz of the maddest variety to some of the writers and blogs that inspire me. I hardly ever pick up a print magazine anymore; I want my inspiration to be fresh - preferably daily - and my addiction to be fed by international ideas rather than what the glittery people in Melbourne are doing for funsies. There are so many awesome creative folk out there, and some truly talented writers. Yes, I'm guilty of plagiarising some of their awesomess, but then again, that's what's so great about the internet craft posse - it's about getting your ideas out there, sharing them and seeing them reflected in someone else's work. So here, in no particular order, I present a few of the blogs I read on a regular basis: • galadarling.com Okay, so she is a Melbourne girl. But her blog's just so pretty! Full of cupcakes and sugar and feeling fine. A mix of fashion posts, pretty things and a smattering of self-help (rarely twee), it makes me feel good and want to drink tea. • http://thisisloveforever.com/blog/ Cute crafty blog rounding up all that is sweet and DIY in the internet world. Fashion, design, interior decorating, music... I always find something to *cough*copy*cough*. • blackcigarette.livejournal.com An extremely prolific LJ community. Okay, so a lot of this can be adolescent-y whinge, but some interesting questions are asked and answered... And lots of pretty pictures. • styleclicker.net I just found this one today. It can be hit and miss with global FRUiTS-style street fashion blogs, and honestly, I never thought Munich would be one of the world's great stylish cities. But you know, the gentleman of Sunday April the 1st just rocks my socks so hard! Spats! And those fabulous orange cord pants. I can wax poetical for hours on this man's genius. And the rest of the blog's not bad either, the slightly anachronistic styles of Munich agree with me.  That should do it for now. I have to go and find something to wear to go dancing. It's harder than it sounds. |

Thank you! Are you going to come to the iCiNG brunch next Sunday?!
Oh, if I lived in Melbourne I would be there in a flash! But I'm in Adelaide, so far away from everything...
