You might have read my About Me section on the left and know that I have three sisters and together we are wildly different in personality but together form a somewhat cohesive sisterhood.  It's a shame that I don't go back home very much these days and therefore do not see my sisters that often because I really feel like I miss out on all the deets going on in their lives.  Par example, I had no idea my sister Yonnica is becoming a bit of a fashion-obsessive until I got home over X'mas and was using her computer and found a carefully organised folder of fashion inspiration images. 

I too went through a phase of saving everything in sight that would remotely jog my style brain but I'm showing my age by reverting back to good old fashioned magazine tears and messy wall collages.  Of course I realise my 17 year old sister has her own style intuitions, different from my own, but it is with a bit of glee that I know she'll understand my love of all things decadently beautiful, whimsical and not of our time.
