Reelin' In the Years

It was a dark & stormy night...No actually it was a hot & sunny day and I was bored out of mind exactly two full years ago today when this blog commenced. Since then I've slowly, but surely surpassed posts where I just wrote a few sentences on a pair of shoes which of course only afforded me a few comments. Now I'm fully linked everywhere in the fashion blogosphere and ready to spew out my opinions on books, movies, trends, and everything all to inform you. I've been in the running for the Most Informative Blogger in the 2008 Fashion Blogger Awards and so I thought I'd inform you a bit more about the girl behind the keyboard, especially since I have some new readers recently who may be at a loss as to who this odd Jayne character is who spells her name oddly haha.
