So 2011 has come and gone (happy new year to all y’all who celebrated this turnover in the past couple of days). This was not a high water-mark in my blogging history, as revealed by the annual...
Christmas is almost upon us (or at least me), and we all know what that means. ‘Tis the season of brightly coloured boxes, eye-catching holiday cards, dazzling lights, beautiful bows and all th...
First things first — thank you all so much for the incredibly kind responses to my guest post on Inside Out Style. The comments came from perfect strangers, long-time friends, role models like ...
A blind chick writing about fashion on her own blog is unlikely enough, but what are the odds of being asked to do a guest post for one of the web’s best style bloggers? That’s exactly wh...
Today’s post comes courtesy of Julie, who posed an interesting query in the Suggestion Box I’m very curious to know how you have developed your style persona? How did you know you prefer modern...
I’ve always been the first to poke fun at myself and my blindness, not always very tastefully (I know, big shock). As I sat here on this quiet Halloween night, trying to trick myself into not c...
My grade one teacher probably thought she was wasting her time the day she ordered me to stay away from my friends. Her stern warnings about cutting myself off from sighted students had little theore...
First things first — thanks to all who took the time to fill out my blog evaluation survey! Your feedback was really valuable, and I’m delighted that you all want me to maintain my curren...
My poor, neglected readers…no, this isnt’ my idea of a ghostly halloween prank! I’m alive and actually putting up a post after an obscenely long stretch that I can’t even atte...
Dressed for success...bring on the 30s! I’m not usually much for birthdays, but turning 30 last week brought on a flood of reflections. Allow me to indulge a little and share some of them: 1. I...
I wanted everything to be perfect when my teachers came to dinner. It was to be a milestone in my nearly 15-year relationship with them, as it was to be the first time I felt I was giving something b...
When I rhapsodized about my personal magic brands, I focused on the cut and fit of their merchandise and the way they felt like they’d been made to order for my figure. I completely neglected o...
CAVEAT: Sorry for the sideways pictures in this post. We don’t know what’s going on, but we’re working on fixing it! I’m not always a big one for brand loyalty. I couldn’...
Some time ago I indulged in a little rant about things sighted people do that drive the average blind person mad. The post generated a lot of interesting discussion, for which I thank everyone. But d...
There are dozens of reasons why people try to dress well and are willing to put effort into devising appropriate outfits for a variety of occasions. Most of my reasons are directly informed by my bli...
For most of my childhood, I never thought of my blindness as a limitation. It was just a fact of life, and while it set me apart from my peers and let to bouts of isolation and the odd misunderstandi...
I suppose it’s inevitable as you march through your 20′s that you’ll hit that summer where just about everyone you know decides to get hitched. For me, it’s Summer 2010 —...
