Blogging buddy: Shell of Kitty+Buck!

So I signed up to be in a blogging buddy swap-up of sorts via Nat from Modern Buttercup. Nat was one of my first followers (even when my design and content wasn't so good or quite where it is now) and I appreciate her so much for supporting me from the start. When I saw that she was putting on this project I had to sign up. I can tell she put a lot of thought into who she paired everyone with because I LOVE my blogging buddy, Shell.

Shell is the creative and inspiring beaut behind Kitty&Buck. And...fun fact! I just googled "beaut" to make sure it was a legit word, and it turns out it's Australian slang and so is Shell (Australian, not slang). Isn't she beautiful!?

This week we were supposed to get to know our blogging buddy a little bit more by asking them 7 questions. Read below to see my questions for Shell!

1. What's your favorite season? I have this theory that people gravitate toward the season they were born in, but I've been proven wrong a few times, so there you go! I really love spring because it's a comfortable temperature, there are flowers blooming and baby animals being born. The perfect time to enjoy nature!

2. What's your zodiac sign? Do you find that it accurately describes your personality? Why or why not? My zodiac sign is Libra. There are some uncanny similarities to my personality, but I think with astrology it's really easy to relate any kind of prediction to an aspect of your life. That said, I have a bad habit of being indecisive and I absolutely hate injustice. Things had better be fair around me!

3. What do you want to be when you grow up (I might have stolen this question from her!)? I'd love to be a full time musician ultimately! If I need to supplement that with my other passions, I'd like to run a vintage boutique/repurposed vintage goods store online so that I can work from home and on my own terms. One day I would love to have a vintage boutique/book store/coffee shop.

4. What comforts you? Being around my boyfriend and my kitties, snuggling under a warm fluffy blanket, being inside and watching a thunderstorm out the window. Hugs. Actually, all those things at once!

5. What's your favorite thing about blogging? I've only been blogging for a couple of months, but so far, I love the wonderful people I have had the opportunity to get to know and I've really benefited from having a creative outlet outside of my work as a designer.

6. How would you define your style? Never in style, never out of style? I generally wear things that I love without any real concern for current trends. I'm pretty passionate about supporting small and local businesses, so I try and buy vintage and locally made clothing where possible. I vary between skinny jeans and a leather jacket to lacy dresses and everything in between. I was never a girly-girl, but I'm finding myself becoming more feminine in my clothing choices the older I get. Sometimes people ask me if I dressed myself...I'm pretty sure that's a huge compliment, right?

7. What's the most embarrassing thing that's happened to you? I have a couple of moments that make me blush. Who am I kidding, I blush if someone looks sideways it me! It's genetics, we're a blush-y family. I think I'd have to go back to my childhood, as this was a defining moment. When I was 6 years old, I went to school in my little school uniform dress and during our morning roll call, the whole class was sitting in a big circle cross legged on the grass. I glanced down to make sure my skirt was down and to my horror discovered that I had put my uniform on over my pajamas and forgotten to take off my PJ pants. They were little pink bloomers like Strawberry Shortcake wears and there were out blowing in the breeze for all to see! I can't even remember if anyone even saw them but I was so incredibly embarrassed. At recess I went into the bathrooms and hid them in my school bag! Ahh. That feels better.

Isn't my blogging buddy great!? If you want to check her out (which you should if you like AWESOME) then click right here! I love popping over to check out how Shell styles her photos (design and editing wise) plus she has fantastic style (and an enviable shoe collection!). This sweet girl seems so fun, adventurous and humble. She definitely deserves some love from the blog world!
