Well, looky-looky… I did a little blog-redesign coinciding with my blogiversary! I’ve been wanting a new look and decided it was time to just sit down and do it. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out! It’s very vintage-y and I think it suits me well.
The background of the header is actually one of my favorite skirts. It belonged to my grandmother – vintage Talbots! When she passed away a year ago, my mom sent me a bunch of her clothes. I have fun wearing them.
And that picture on the left side? I’ve been meaning to share this with you for quite a while. Back in March, my good friend and an amazing photographer Beth and I cooked up a really cool vintage photo shoot. I want to share more of the photos soon, but this is your sneak peek! Although if you’re smart, you might find some more on Beth’s blog.

Nice story behind the header, really means something. Nice layout 🙂
Thanks for stopping by! And thanks for the compliment. 🙂
WOW! I’m so impressed. You did this yourself?
Yep! But lest you be too impressed, all I did was create the image. Most of this is still a regular WordPress template. I have minimal HTML skills which helps setting up some of the sidebar stuff, but I definitely rely mostly on a template and the Widgets.
