I have some exciting news to share. But before I do, let me introduce to you my new boots. I found them in Noosa - and fell in love. They remind me of the new Jeffrey Campbell boot, except with no heel..which I was tottaly smitten over, but I just cant seem to do heels, so this was a good option! They are perfect for fall and winter, and will do wonders when I go back to Canada! Now onto my exciting news..two things, infact - so which one do I start with? Alright - I'll start with the shop one. Over the past few months I have been thinking about starting a shop that is connected to my blog - to sell my old clothes and some of the things that you have seen me wear on my blog. I have been inspired by fellow bloggers that have started shops, and have been trying to wrap my head around the whole thing - but I think im ready to take the plunge. So be ready, Postcard's from Kate's Closet is coming soon - with some cute things that you have already seen me wear on this blog! Stay tuned! :)
And the second exciting news, this is a really exciting one! A little while ago I was contacted by a local magazine that just started in the city that I live in, and they were wanting me to do a fashion peice for their magazine. Ofcourse I accepted, and wrote an article about how much I love thrift stores. They loved the article and decided they wanted to use it, but then also asked me to write a story about my experience with the ship tour - so I did - and they digged that too so its being published in next months magazine issue! How exciting is that? I was very excited. I will show you all the magazine when it comes out!
Well, this is almost too much excitement for one blog post so im going to tone it down a notch and peace on out of here. I hope that you are having an incredible week so far! x
Wow that is all such exciting news! Congrats on all the features and articles you're writing.
ReplyDeletei just love your outfit! the vintage and grunge look is soo on you!!! Congrats girl!
ReplyDeleteThat's such amazing news! I look forward to hearing more about it all :)
ReplyDeleteThis dress is so pretty, I love the back!

I know what you mean about the week flying by. I can't wait to see the magazine and to read what you wrote! How amazing! I can't think of a more deserving girl, though. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm loving these boots on you. You look wonderful, as always.
Love the boots. Awesome details at the back of the dress. Congrats, Kate! I'm truly happy for you ;)
ReplyDeleteOoh, congrats on getting published! How exciting! I'm super jealous. :D Will there be any way for us to read the articles online once they're published? How fun!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I'm loving those boots -- you can really dress them up or down. I love how you styled them with the socks. You're such a cutie. <3
Being published TWICE? Soon you are going to be a regular at the magazine just you watch. And second the shop idea is brilliant. I was the same way, planning on opening one for the longest time and although it's a lot of work it's totally worth it!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd your comment made me smile. I have no idea where you work but I just pictured a gloomy day at some office and everyone crowded around the screen. I'm sure your job is much more glamorous than that but my imagination ran away with me!
