frocksandfroufrou

i am mildly obsessed with Google Analytics. 
it tells me things i find fascinating. 

like - i don't really use facebook, (so little, im not even linking it right now) yet on a list of 200 referral sites, facebook is top 5. (so maybe i'll be working on that a bit more!) 

or like - people in NY bounce from my front page, while people from CA stay for a while. 
               France bounces... Canada stays. 

or - that i got 26 hits from Australia in 10 hours.. hmm?...  and a new (but not unfamiliar) name was on my referral list - frocksandfroufrou

so I go, and find out that I'm a featured seller on her blog today. woohoo. 

it's a lovely blog. i know about it because of another site where we're both members. 
lillipilli - (as she's known to me) has fab style, and takes a great pic. 
she writes mostly personal style/fashion, from the point-of-view of someone who doesn't take the lack of cute options lying down. amen. 
  

i check out her blog several times a month (which is saying a LOT for me) and I always love to see what she's wearing and writing. seems lots of other ladies enjoy it, too. 

(and she has badass red boots!) 



so anyway, the blog today is about finding plus-size vintage online. 
i am in good company, and i feel pretty special about being included.

full on love

my sister gave me the gift of flickr for christmas - so i'm now pro. woo. 

and i went pro today because i received my new camera today - i know buydig gets a bad rap sometimes, but i had to take a risk, because that's a pretty good deal, and i did get the second lens. 




so, i'm in love with it.. actually no. i'm in lust. that beginning of the relationship where you're hot and heavy and you kindddda see a few issues, but you just. don't. care. 

that's me right now. 




i took a bazillion pics today of kitchenware. deleted most. but figured out some things that will be helpful in the future. best to start with inanimate objects before moving on to people. 

::what i wore::

braided mess
white beater - new in package in the free box @ work 
tissue turtleneck in eggplant -target
superfaded -soon-to-be-grey- svoboda cate's 
back and grey vertical rib kneesocks - christmas stocking years ago-
grey suede booties - v V v 
long black bouclé open cardigan - thrifted
beautiful cashmere scarf/wrap thingy - giftie from drew 

no pic - i look like ick.
