About Me

I am a midwest transplant to Austin, Texas which as far as I am concerned is one of the greatest cities on earth.  Everyone who lives here thinks so, but we could be biased....There are so many things to love about Austin the food, the music, the oh-so-notorious 6th street, but the thing I love the most here are the people.  The people who live, work, and play in Austin are a fantastic breed of urban hipster and their clothes relay this message in every possible way.  I continue to be fascinated by the way people mix and match things here and I am a fashion student of the city. 

This blog is a just a bit of fun for me and from me to you.  Hopefully it will just grow and get better with age because I definitely have a lot to learn. 

The inspiration behind the name of the blog comes from Gossip Girl:

Blair: I had a horrible fight with my mother. I tried to be Indra Nooyi. And while I admit that choice might have been a bit random, the other choice was to be my mother. And I didn't want that.

Dan: Why not? You care about fashion more than most people care about, ah, well, anything. You used to send girls home crying from Constance for wearing tights as pants.

Blair: Well, somebody had to. It was for the greater good. Just like my suggestion that you take off that tie and shove it in your pocket right now.

Dan: You're an evil dictator of taste, Blair. Why deny that just because it's what your mother does? And by the way, this tie was my grandfather's.

Blair: If only he'd been buried in it.
And then later in the episode...
Blair: Mother, you are brilliant. And resilient. And... a businesswoman, and an artist. I'd be crazy not to want to be like you.

Eleanor: Really? But you are not a designer. You are a, um...

Blair: A dictator of taste.

Eleanor: Exactly! I love that. Who said that?

Blair: A friend of mine.
