Resolution no. 2

Hello lovelies!  It has been so wonderful to be back.  Truly!  I missed you all so much!
Over the holiday I took some time for reflection and realized that one main thing missing in my life is time to create.  So my second resolution for this New Year is to set aside Wednesdays for just that.  I'll still be around to answer emails and you can expect to see a couple regular posts on these days (I've decided to continue my Inspired by: photography series which so many of you responded so positively to), but the majority of my time will be spent offline crafting, creating (and probably catching up on a bit of long-forgotten housework).  This will make me a better, more inspired blogger too... so it's a win win situation really.  : )

I can't take off for the day without first mentioning some recent exciting news.  As many of you know (thanks for all of your sweet emails) Creature Comforts was just featured as an editor's favorite blog in the February 2009 issue of Lucky Magazine (page 33)!  I am so incredibly thrilled and want to thank each one of you for making CC a part of your day.  This blog would be nothing without each one of you and I just want you to know how much you all mean to me.  Also a huge thank you goes out to Cassandra and Lucky Magazine for the feature! Have a gorgeous day everyone!

Chic for Cheap: New Years Resolution: Try New Colors

 Melissa came up with the lovely idea to base today's Chic for Cheap outfit off of a New Years resolution.  I don't know about you, but I find that I always gravitate towards the standard monochrome colors (read black, white, and gray)... so my resolution is to try new colors.

What fashion resolution would you like to make?  We'd love for you to play along.  Just leave a link in the comment section of this post to a chic and cheap outfit that you've put together using Polyvore or your own editing software.  Can't wait to see what you will come up with!

Today I Love: Bestiary Ink

Adoring the sweet illustrations found in the etsy shop Bestiary Ink.  I'm especially fond of the hand-embellished details of gold ink found on some of the prints (like this one).  Everything is so reasonably priced too!
