It all started when….

I read Styling You by Nikki Parkinson.

The things I love about this site:

• Her posts on how to dress like Nina Proudman. I love how Nina dresses but she is super skinny. Nikki convinced me that I could still take on parts of Nina’s style.
• Her posts on The Model and Me, and Keeping it Real. I’m hooked!

Styling You is a professional blog – in the sense of regular updates, content that reads more like a magazine than a diary, and “sponsored content” (not a fan).

However I’d say Styling You is the cause of my sudden and intense fashion obsession. After years of reading fashion magazines, but thinking I am too old/poor/time-poor/enormous, Nikki’s blog made me feel that I could be fashionable too.

So when I started this blog I meant it to be about things other than fashion. Thanks to Styling You (so far) it isn’t!
