Welcome to my little corner of the internet! I’m so happy you’re here and I hope you’ll find exactly what you’re looking for on the pages of this site. If you want to know a little more about me and the blog, you’re in the right place, so just keep on reading.
About Me
I’m Kirsten: a part-time blogger and full-time accountant. Let’s just hold off on the sarcastic accounting comments for now, ok? Trust me, I know it doesn’t sound fun; I’ve had enough Uber drivers comment on my choice of career path to last a lifetime. Since I’m sure you’re not here to learn more about debits, credits, and the language of business, let’s just end this accounting discussion here.
I started “this” blog back in 2013, when I was procrastinating studying for finals in my freshman year of college. a few rebrands later, and the blog has changed a bit since then (and so have I).
What will you find here?
Like I said – I’ve changed a lot over the years. When I first started posting regularly, I was studying abroad and posting a lot of travel content. The travel content has subsided a lot, especially in recent years, so I started posting more on fashion and lifestyle.
After watching The True Cost, I decided I wanted to change the way I wrote about fashion. This blog has ultimately led me to a lot of connections and friendships within the fashion blogging community, but I didn’t quite feel I had found my niche there. I love fashion and have always been drawn to it but I struggled with a lot of the ways the fashion industry collided with my core values.
I truly do want to see a change in the fashion industry and the fashion blogging industry alike, so I knew I had to make the change for myself. Deleting old posts would be deleting a part of my fashion blogging history. I can’t say I’m the same person as the girl who wrote those posts years ago, but I’m trying to be better today.
So – back to the original question – what will you find here?
I’m here to be a bit of a different voice within the blogging community. I’m not perfect, but I’m more committed than ever to write about sustainable fashion and a few of the things I’m working on share my core values with all of you. Sometimes that means sharing my hobbies like knitting, gardening, and cooking, and sometimes it might mean sharing new cruelty-free beauty and skincare products and my most recent thrifting finds. You’ll definitely see a lot of concert and music festival content; as it turns out, I truly do have a passion for live music and I chase it every chance I get.
So fashion and a little bit of a boho lifestyle – the same things I’ve been sharing for years – but with a more conscious thinking behind every purchase, share, and post.
