I'm getting back into knitting again!! And I'm working on some knitted tweed wool neckwarmers!! Its amazing. I'm using vintage yarns from my grandma, that she bought in London! Lol, and excuse my goofy photos because I don't exactly know how to use knitting needles and yarn as props. :)

Also there's an amazing competition called We Love Wool!! :) You post your look including a clothing item made from wool (you do not have to hand knit it!), and you could win a trip to Australia! How awesome is that?




Do let me know if you've put a look up! I would love to support it! :) 

I'm off to Richmond for the weekend!! :) Hopefully will take tons of snaps to share with you all. Have an amazing weekend!!

I love Gala Darling so so much! She is such an inspiration, and she always is! Her recent post on How to Live a Beautiful Life, is a kind reminder to get your butt into gear, and stop waiting around and having an amazing life!


I am in desperate need of learning how to use my own camera and take self portraits. Since, I usually take pictures of things, rather than myself. But I'm trying to change that with A Beautiful Mess' 5 tips for better self-portraits .


I want to try out these DIY wine dyed shorts from Koi Story . I love the color, its so fun, and perfect for summer,, which is now ending. But there's always next year. And the possibilities are really endless with what I can dye! :D

 

I watched the livestream of the IFB conference. And it really gave me more insight on how to be a better blogger, and really taking it to the next level. I've learned a lot of things. And here are few of the thoughts, and ideas that really stuck out to me:
  1. Blogging is about being authentic, and focusing on good content!
  2. Don't take your readers for granted and always be grateful for them. :)
  3. Be memorable, and take risks, there are a million blogs out there, and to stick out and be unique, is essential!
  4. Keep it real, and its okay to say "NO" to brands if they don't fit with your brand.
  5. Understand what your blog is about, what is it, and what is it not, and have a mission statement.
Honestly, I could keep going, about all the amazing things I learned from the IFB Conference. But I will just keep it simple and leave it at 5 main points that really stood out to me. What do you think are the most important aspects of blogging?
 
I love supporting entrepreneurs, especially in this terrible economy. And Daily Candy's Start Small, Go Big contest, is really a great way to support these entrepreneurs, vote for your favorites so they can get mentored by the best in their industry. There's only six days left, so go support them! :) I hope I can apply next year! 

I hope everyone is having a great week, despite the weather! :) This week just flew by!
