Blogger Spotlight Series #1: Cookies & Perfection

9/8/2013

I have received some requests to do features on my blog and honestly, I had never thought about doing anything like that before. It seems like a great way to give new bloggers a chance to be seen and heard, and every little bit of exposure can help. So, please join me for my first ever blogger spotlight!

Meet Fabianne Van Esveld of Cookies and Perfection

Today, I'd like to introduce you to blogger, Fabianne Van Esveld!

I discovered her on Chictopia and I ended up constantly commenting on her looks like a crazy person because I liked them so much. Haha. *^_^* Needless to say, we instantly became friends. <3

I would describe her style as girl-next-door with an edge. It is the kind of style I strive to master, and Fabi pulls it off effortlessly.

Recently, Fabi was kind enough to do an interview with me and it's posted on her blog! Check it out! :D

If you can, take a moment to visit Fabi's blog and say, "hello!" She's super nice! ^_^

Contact me, if you would like to be featured in my Blogger Spotlight series! I can't make any particular guarantees, but preference will be given to lesser known blogs (i.e. blogs with fewer than 50 followers).

DO NOT write me and ask how much it will cost to be featured. Those requests are offensive and I will immediately place your emails in my spam folder where they will languish forever.

Oh, hey! What's shakin'? :D Check this out, brah. I'm stoked to show off my new vintage shortalls! I couldn't believe my eyes when I thrifted them. It was love at first sight. The longer shorts, big chest pocket and odd straps were a dead giveaway, but I looked up the label on my phone just to be sure.

My quick internet search revealed that this little number is likely from the early 90s. It actually has a kind of nostalgic look and feel to it. It's my first pair of shortalls and so obviously it is my favorite. :D

I've never worn overalls or shortalls before until now. I know! I'm weird. You wouldn't believe the number of things I haven't consumed, worn or taken part in that most "normal" people have already experienced. Hell, I don't think I had root beer until a few years ago. I'm just a sweet, sweet anomaly. :P

So, I was trying to figure out just how the heck to wear these without looking like some boring country bumpkin. Haha. I opted for a suit jacket that I've had for almost 10 years. As you can see, the jacket looks like new for being a decade old. Anyway, I don't think you're supposed to wear suit jackets with overalls. Haha. So, of course I just had to do it. I'm sure I'm upsetting a ton of fashion gurus, right now.

My advice to the gurus: Take some Robitussin and sleep it off. You'll get over it. Hehe. :D

I added a super cute bicycle print t-shirt and some dried flowers I picked up from the farmer's market then finished the look with my favorite boots from UrbanOG. In so doing, I think I created something comfortable, fun and interesting (and maybe even a little bit perplexing haha). Mission accomplished!

Thrifted - Vintage Denim Shortalls & Black Blazer
TIL Darling - Gold Studded Wrap Watch
Forever21 - Bicycle Print T-Shirt
UrbanOG - Short Black Boots

♫ Thank you so much for your comments! Though I may not respond to each one, I read and appreciate all of them! ♫
