All that splendid Spam!

April 1, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner

Whenever I think my blog benefits no one and is a gigantic energy drain, I pause to read my spam comments.  Enthusiastic robot spammers never fail to lift my spirits with such an unapologetic use of adjectives. And all those explanation points!!! Unabashed, gushing love. Sometimes a girl needs to be reminded how incredible(!) and magnificent(!) and astonishing(!) her blog really is. At least that’s what Calvin Klein tells me…

If My Blog Were An Outfit…

March 18, 2014 By Talya Tate Boerner

Just so we are clear—I am NOT a fashion blogger. Lord no. And if you saw my hot mess closet you’d be shocked.

Okay, here’s my closet…

closet

Oink oink. Pigsty. 

When I heard about the linkup “If My Blog Were An Outfit” (hosted by Hairspray and High Heels), I decided it would be fun and something different for me to do. A sort of paper doll / vision board to showcase my (extreme) casual (simple/boring) style.

Let me introduce you to Grace Grits and Gardening sporting her favorite outfit (and accessories)…

If my blog were an outfit

All that’s missing is my face right below the hat, but you get the gist, right?

Some may say, how can a KitchenAid Mixer be part of an outfit? 

And to those I say, a KitchenAid Mixer goes with everything. As do gardening gloves. And pearls…
