01/ FIRST TIME CALLER

As White Lies sing -

"She said I was a first time caller

But a long time listener

I've been waiting a while to talk to you"

Well... Darling, we're starting.

I've wanted to start a blog (officially) for the longest time now. Not to say that I didn't have other blogs in the past.. I did, many of which have now dwindled away. But, I mean, who hasn't? I did grow up with the internet after all. As a teenager, online journals, websites and HTML were kind of a big deal for my friends and I (aka the cool kids - we were way ahead of our time, I'd say). I remember being fascinated, spending hours fiddling around trying to make things look right, the young perfectionist I was.

Years later, not much has changed. Well, I'm older and I've graduated from University. But, I'm still here fiddling around with a computer most of the day, spending my time browsing the internet - discovering what I love, the latest in fashion and music through other blogs and websites. Lately though, I've realised I have a lot to say about the things I see and hear... and frankly, there's only so much my sister will listen to.

So, I've made the revelation - later than sooner - that I should put words into actions and actually start a blog.
And like that Poly-CottonBLND is born - just a blend of all the things I love - inspiration, illustration, music, design and of course, fashion!
