Etsy Treasury Features

This isn't the post I planned on jumping back into blogging with, but I couldn't wait to finish the DIY post I had planned...so hey Lovelies, hope you've all been well, and I'm so glad to be back!

I'm sort of bubbling over because my items have popped up in two treasury lists in the past month. And quite frankly, I think that's pretty rad (also, watch out for a store update sometime soon. I've got a bunch of new sweater guards in the shop!). Thanks so much to Nika and Vyldanstyl for featuring me!

Customer Feature: Introducing Liv!

So as I mentioned vaguely in a previous post I have something new planned for the blog. I'm a people person. No really, I am. But I'd never be the one to approach you out in public to tell you I like something you're wearing or say that your hair looks nice, even if that's what I'm thinking, because I'm just too darn shy. I really do love people though, and I'm an avid people watcher (creepy I know, but I love seeing the different styles everyone has). Other's beliefs, interests, hobbies, and personal style fascinate me, and I really enjoy learning about the similarities and differences I share with various people. Perhaps that's why I dove into the blogosphere. Learning new things, and learning of new things, and being able to share my own hobbies and interests with everyone else. Keeping that in mind, I thought it would be interesting to learn more about the people buying from me...

I started Amber Skies Designs fairly recently, and Liv was my second customer. She bought one of my favourite items, the black and white kitty sweater clips (Rachele from The Nearsighted Owl also wore them!)

I'm always curious how people end up styling my items, and how they make my work into their own via outfit choices. As a way to say thank you for supporting ASD, I thought it would be fun to do a customer feature. 

Judging by the following, Liv is a pretty cool gal:

Dress: Kohl's - Princess Vera Wang collection

Pants: My bestfriend's old jeans - Grane brand

Shoes: Mossimo Supply Co. Cheetah Flats - Target 

Jewelry: Kitty Sweater Clips – Amber Skies Designs

I'm 17 years old and love art, packaging, and design. I have been painting for 4 years and am completely self-taught. I spend the rest of my free time playing music and baking sugar-filled goodies. I just love to create, in general, and enjoy anything that can act as an outlet for self-expression.

I just love the outfit she put together. Is that dress fantastic, or is it fantastic? Really digging the detail on the collar. It makes the dress look edgy and elegant at the same time. And of course, I'm a sucker for a plaid and cheetah print combo.

Thanks so much for participating Liv, you rock, and you look amazing!

November Sponsor Feature

So I really wanted to introduce my lovely sponsors because they all rock, but my plan to have this post up the first week of November kind of failed a little. No matter, we're rolling now and that's what counts. Without further ado, meet the November sponsors of The Myopic Squid! (click the photos to visit their blogs!)

My name is Suzanne and I like Modcloth, cats in glasses, Dexter, vintage clothes, Fiona Apple, Hello Kitty, random facts and Diet Coke (or Diet Pepsi, no playing favourites!) I started A Coin For the Well as a way to play dress up with the clothes in my closet (because who doesn't love a reason to dress up?) to give me an excuse to window shop online and to yammer on about whatever my little heart desires.

It's awesome transmuted through photographic processing. Very cute, much aesthetic.
