The Naturale.

So many names to choose from, so little with that certain ring... 
la beauté, the belle, the informer, news from a fashion addict, the original stylist, the original, the original high-flying, stunt-performing, marvelous mother of all things fashion and/or related to the breezy autumn season... hah! Just joshing (what a strange expression, don't you think?).
So anyways I come up with 'The Naturale,' at which point I'm so sick of naming blog titles that anything sounded pretty fabulous to me, and voila 'The Naturale' was born! There is so much I'd like to blog about and so many people I'd like to thank for making this moment possible (que the music please)... Many thanks to my mom, my future pet dog, Iluk the Alaskan Malamute, the people who came up with hazelnut flavoured coffee, and blah blah blah. I don't know about you but I for one always find those Academy Award speeches quite touching. Although, I must guiltily admit that I was inspired by the great 'Fashion Toast' and 'Coco's Tea Party' to start this mess in the first place. Hopefully over the next few days or so I'll be able to get more of a profile and maybe a page layout/ header of my own design up here. In the meantime I'll leave you (whoever, if anybody, is actually reading this infantile blog) with one of my inspiration boards that really is only effective before the impending end of the summer of 2008. Enjoy!

Oh and you're probably going to hate me for this but I just have to comment on the greatness that is Michael Phelps. I just watched his last race, the men's medley 4 x 200m, and he is absolutely beastly (in the best way of course). 8 Golds... quite the feat and even though I'm no competitive swimmer, his achievements are definitely inspirational. All that dedication, hard work, and serious sweat makes me want to accomplish the impossible and all that jazz.
