I have not been terribly faithful to my blog lately, it's regrettable, and I miss it, but I have a good reason.  I was feeling a little burned out.  It hasn't even been a year, but my creativity and energy were feeling sapped.  The other day I was on the Independent Fashion Bloggers site looking for ideas and seeking reasons for my burn out when I stumbled across this week's IFB Project.  The project proposes starting a photo journal and snapping one pic for every day in a year. If done consistently that would add up to 365 pictures at the end of the year.   This project might seem like a daunting task to try, but realistically it is just one picture a day, which since I got my iphone I have been taking one picture almost every day anyway.  So here goes nothing... I am going to post my project on a few platforms so if you want to follow along, please do.  If you are doing the same project leave your site in the comments I would love to see what you do.

Day 1: The Fortune Told Me So

Day 2: Amaryllis Rising

I will be posting photos on Instagram under user name jroseg, on tumblr Snapshot of My Heart or on Twitter @jrosestyle. 

Blog Reading: Today I Want

Hi loves! It feels like it's been a while since I wrote to you, but I'm back feeling refreshed and looking forward to an amazing 2012.  While I may have stepped away from my blog for a bit I still stayed up to date on my Bloglovin' reading.  I love seeing what other bloggers are wearing or creating. When I am feeling especially uninspired the best remedy has been to turn to some of my favorite blogs, the fresh info and perspective is sure provide some inspiration.  Today I am sharing one of the special blogs I follow, Today I Want, by Katie Petix.  Katie, has an amazing sense of style, cute online shopping finds and some great dressing room outfit commentary (she is Hi-larious).   The last two weeks Katie has been hopping around Europe writing an fun update when she can.  Her blog has been peppered with guest posts (including yours truly) that chronicle the style of the cities that she has been visiting.  The site provides a daily dose of internet shopping, vintage finds and clothing reviews from the dressing room.  If this sounds like your bag check out Today I Want for more yummy fashion fixes.
