Happy New Year!

Starting off 2010 on a more personal note! Thanks to my Kaboodle buddy--xOxsharicexOx, I borrowed the idea for this post from her fun Kaboodle blogazine.

Style stuff:

What is your favorite online shopping website?
Etsy wins hands-down, but I'm biased since I operate a vintage shop there! Kaboodle has become a fave haunt as well, especially since I started a blog there last summer.

How would you describe your fashion style?
Comfort is key over most else. I love style and fashion but I don't feel the need to wear the latest--in fact, since I started hunting/selling vintage I rather prefer a classic style. I love the originality and quirkiness that vintage offers modern shoppers. Also love finding steal deals at local thrift shops!

What's your favorite shoe style?
I am a sneaker girl--backless, laceless, slip-on Ryka's have been my go-to shoe for 3 years now since an ankle injury. I love cute shoes but, again, comfort wins me over every time. Love, love, love boots!
