Thanks so much for your thoughts on commenting, for anyone who is interested the comments are a good read.  I had been writing that post in my head for quite a while so it feels good to finally have it published.  And look I wore pants again, it’s so odd for me.

P.S. End of the day pictures equal wrinkled pants.

What to Wear This Valentines Day & Giveaway

Category: Giveaways, Guest PostsAngel @ 11:30 am


This is a Guest Post by Angel of Angels’ Style Scrapbook.

I think the balloon hearts, and huge amount of advertising stores are doing at the moment have made sure that we all know that Valentines Day is coming up. This is my first Valentines that I’m actually in a relationship so I want it to be special. Unfortunately, our valentines date is going to be a few days late as on Valentines we have plans that involve causal clothing. But I thought I’d give a few different outfits that you can wear for different dates this Valentines.

The Casual Date/Night In

I love this cardigan, it’s so cute with the hearts. This is pretty much what I’m planning on wearing this Valentines. The jeans make it perfect for running around or chilling with pizza in front of the TV. I think pizza in front of the TV is what we’re doing.

The Romantic Date

This is what I would wear for a romantic dinner at a restaurant. The cut out heart detail on the dress is adorable but it’s still sexy. Continuing with the cute details I love the Melissa and Vivienne Westwood heels. This is really a vixen outfit and if you want to channel a vixen surely Betty Boop or Jessica Rabbit are good sources of inspiration.

The Bike Ride and Picnic

Anyone who reads my blog will know that I’m a vintage addict. The minute I saw this H&M dress I saw how perfect it would be for a vintage picnic like the lovely Super Kawaii Mama did here. I’ve paired it with simple accessories so that the dress takes the spotlight. Imagine a romantic bike ride before stopping under a tree for chocolate dipped strawberries and champagne.

After Dinner/Valentines Night

It is the holiday of love and I couldn’t help but look at lingerie and maybe suggest a few after dinner outfits. I love stockings and sexy knickers and I can bet that your partner won’t complain either.

The Giveaway!

A mini hat fascinator, lace hair bow, pink faux pearls beaded necklace and a vintage scarf.

How To Get Me To Comment On Your Blog

Category: My OutfitsEyeliah @ 2:45 pm

Note: I have been dealing with some major computer issues!  So the posting is a bit slower and I’m not commenting on your blogs as much, sorry about that. Things should be back to normal soon.

It’s always interesting to me how much commenting goes down on this blog when I am unable to comment on others.  I have mentioned it before but it is so true how much blogging is a community.  No one should expect to gets lots of comments if they aren’t out there making an effort.  I do really enjoy reading and commenting on all your blogs, that is truly the best part of blogging so that is fine for me.  I will admit something to you now, there are many sites I look at but if they’ve never sent me some sort of acknowledgment I start to limit the amount of comments I leave on theirs, if any.  And by acknowledgment I don’t mean replying to me in the comments of their post, I never go back and read those (who does?).  Now I am not saying “if I read your blog you should read mine” and vice-versa.  It’s not that hard to send a thank you email to a new reader, every once and a while reply to their comment or reciprocate the occasion comment (only if we mean it of course, never be fake).  Even the busiest heavy weight bloggers take the time to do this, so if I’ve stopped by a blog a half dozen times and never heard a peep back what that says to me is they don’t care if I comment or not (which is totally their prerogative seriously). I am just so busy and with 500+ blogs in my google reader it seems fruitless to spend so much extra time commenting into a black hole.  Please don’t take this as anything negative, I am just pleased as punch with this site and everything that is happening and all you readers are fabulous, whether you comment or not!  These are just some thoughts that have been rattling around in my head.

Even with comments being a bit slower on Style Symmetry, readership is growing higher that ever!!  When I first started this site I have a pie-in-the-sky goal of how many people I wanted reading it daily, and now I am 50% above that.  It is so crazy to think of all the people stopping by to see what I am wearing.  Thank you all so so much for being a part of the journey with me and I look forward to everything the future has in store.

How much time do you spend commenting on blogs?

Day 5
I’ve been wanting to recreate Steen Ink’s ‘Spanish Zombie Movie’ since I first saw it six months ago. Her knack for soft colors and layering is always inspiring and did you know she is currently expecting baby #2?! Congrats Mama. You have until Monday morning to get in your outfits, not many entries yet so your odds are good to win the prize. :-)
