Share a secret....Heather

Time for another installment from the Share a Secret series i think, today is the turn of Heather from the very beautiful blog Prescription of Hope.
 Heather, i want to take this opportunity to thank you for leaving me such kind and caring comments here at Secrets, they are truly appreciated. You have such a sweet heart and admirable inner strength despite your health difficulties. Its fab to have you on my blog today as i think you make such great sets up over at Polyvore full of colors and the things we all love.

 So what are Heather's secrets ...
"Clothes or Stores that inspire me (to do sets on Polyvore) are: Anthropologie, Cardigans and necklaces
 Things that inspire me: pastel colors,(me too Heather) flowers with tulips & daisies as my favorite, teacups & birds (again me too!)
 I enjoy reading and music. A few of my favorite artists are Priscilla Ahn, Kate Walsh & A Fine Frenzy. I love musicals and ballets. I also enjoy collecting hatboxes and vintage handkerchiefs"

Share a secret......Estrelita

What can i say about the Polyvore sets of Estrelita!!! i think she is my favourite creator of them, and her sets are so delicate and dreamlike and make me want to buy, or have, everything thats featured! i wonder what her secrets are? i wonder about the girl behind the screen, what she does for a job?....this wondering is what started the inspiration for the Share a Secret series in the first place. And Estrelita got back to me with her own secrets, i'll share them with you below read on...

 My name is Marie, I live in north of France, I'm 24 and I'm a school teacher.My first inspiration to make sets is the photos I find on polyvore and everywhere on the web. Some of them made me think about a story, an atmosphere ... But sometimes I can be inspired by a movie, a book or a song and I try to create the set around this theme. Oh ... and I forget one little thing ... I was so amazed by your message and your whole little universe that I made a little something for you.(this is the set thats at the top of the post its called Chrysalide which means Chrysalis in French-and i adore!it even has a little white rabbit and you know me and little white rabbits go very well together!)

Thankyou so much Marie, i love your universe of delicacy and grace too, its such a pleasure to see and step into through your collages, love n wishes kat xx click here to see more of those i love and her full profile here.

 

Share a secret.....Little Parisienne

This is a new series called Share a secret, where i'll ask some of the inspiring artists, bloggers, creatives and people who we just generally Love! to share a little about themselves, that we may not alreay know. So first up I want to share with you the inspiring collages ofLittle Parisienne on Polyvore. I favourite so many of her collections and she has an incredible eye for styling clothes and combining them with the extra little touches that make a perfect polyvored set. Check out more of her work through the link above, and see some of my favourites of hershere as well as those i've featured below.

On Polyvore, which for those of you unfamiliar, is a fashion based creative community where you can build 'sets' and share them, following creators and favouriting their designs as well as making your own. You clip in images and clothes you find on the web and it automatically generates a link to the source. Lots of people have a very distinctive style and its addictive to see what they'll next come up with. In general on the profile pages, unlike with blogs, very little information is given about who is behind the name, so I asked Little Parisienne to share her secrets with us and she so kindly agreed, here is what she wrote...

Well, my name in Alexandra and I live in Germany where I'm studying film & media. I'm 20 years old. I love to read classic literature, going to the theatre, opera, cinema. I collect antique things (clothes, books, typewriters, photographs, and many more!) and I'm acting in a theatre group. & thank you for featuring me on your lovely blog! Thankyou so much Alexandra. Love Kat x
