Thanks! Yeah, it's definitely a work in progress, but I'm excited about it! Okay, i can't see the pictures of your future wife! can you re-post them?

Nice blog, even though i couldn't care less for fashion. I really liked your song. Made me wonder if I should stop stalking Lisa and stalk you instead?!

^I think there is a queue for that... :P

It is a nice blog, though there are a few things that I would change:

-The automatically starting music is not really user-friendly and is generally disliked by readers.
- For your own good, don´t use .bmp pictures, they take up a lot of space and can clog up your storage limit very fast. (For example the first three picture of that Russian model that caught Ships´ attention)
-And just a little thing, you could credit the photographers more times, they deserve it.

Apart from this, keep up the good work

Fixed the links, i saved and re-uploaded as JPEG files.

What you could do is just open up a photobucket account, and save each picture you want to use into there, then link from there onto your blog. That way you would have a stored version of each picture in your account, and it would save space

Yeah, nice blog, Lauren. What sparked your interest in setting up a blog like this?

Thanks for all the advice! I really appreciate it. Rai, I took off the music. I was hesitant to put it on in the first place, and you confirmed my apprehensions. Thanks for the advice.

Ships, that is Natalia Vodianova. She is beautiful, I agree!

In answer to your question Hendrik, I wanted to start a personal style/fashion blog. I was inspired by these great ones: www.thecherryblossomgirl.com www.mydailystyle.es www.thesartorialist.com and http://am-lul.blogspot.com/

I also wanted a platform to post my writing on. So, if all goes as planned, I hope the blog evolves into a personal style blog with articles a couple times a week as well. We shall see!

Thanks for the advice guys, I really appreciate it!
