I’ve read style blogs for years now, coming back day after day to see new outfit posts, and yet when I started The Steele Maiden I couldn’t imagine getting in front of the lens myself…  

Maybe it’s being a designer?  You sort of want your end product to shine rather than yourself.  But sometimes I think it’s good to push yourself out of your comfort zone a bit – and to that end I’m going to try and post at least one real life style post a week.  

It’s taken until almost Thanksgiving but here in Los Angeles we’re finally having a bit of fall weather and I’m embracing it from head to toe, with a faux fur shawl collar, burgundy corduroys, and suede ankle boots.  I still can’t believe I’m not shivering away in my New York winter jacket already – but I’ll take it.
