i decided to start this lifestyle blog on a whim. hopefully it will be something to get me through these last winter months. my interest include but are not limited to: fashion, politics, non fiction books, foreign food, and folk music. i love thrift store and clearance shopping, and black clothes are my favorite. i love reading other blogs, so follow me and i will be sure to do to the same for you! you can also find my not so frequent or relevant posts at overture-international.blogspot.com, but i assure you this is where all the good stuff usually will be.
