trends

{via Size Too Small}
I'm not a huge fan of trends.  I like to keep things timeless because a) it saves you money from having to update your look/home all the time and b) I'm not a big "showy" person.  There is a trend in right now that I do really like though, and that's the rustic/nature trend with home decor and clothing.  To be honest, I really like it.  However, it's not because I want to be up-to-date with what's in right now, but, conveniently, it fits in with what I already like: comfortable and natural with some flair.  After all, I am a small town Canadian girl at heart.

I just think that people can have a tendency to really overdo trends (like that living room pictured above...needs a little more of the "lived in" touch).  Why not takes things that are neat, cool, and trendy and set them up/style them in a timeless manner?

I dunno, I just get irked with people who try too hard...

Okay- I should clarify: I don't actually HATE trends, I just get annoyed by fads that get blown out of proportion. I do follow trends to an extent!
And I've meaning to polish up my template, just gotta find something I like! lol
