Blogucate yourself!

Here it is.. First post! :D

This is so exciting for me, I've been meaning to write a blog for awhile now.. and I started reading and following all sorts of blogs for about a year. I realized I love doing this.. Research! I would say, I spend hours every day at my job, at home, sometimes even when I'm out on my phone.

So this blogucation (blogucation - a pun between blog and education, obviously :D ) blog starts as a result of a hobby I just realized I have in a foggy rainy, October afternoon with lots of pending tasks for my job. But since I'm the type of person that procrastinates anything from the dislikes category I just said to myself  "Hey, lets start that blog idea right now!" :D So here it is! Purely spontaneous, I decided to write all my opinions, in a very subjective manner, obviously, in regards to all the blogs I follow.
Disclosure: I think this blogucation is meant more  for me, than for you guys, let's say a way to keep track of all the things I see, read.

So hopefully this makes you understand more about my reasons.

Full disclosure: I love fashion, I don't have any idea if my opinions, choices in fashion suck, but I do, I really love it, I feel weirdly drawn to everything related. I did all those things girly girls do since I was a kid, playing with Barbie dolls, stealing my mom's makeup wearing her heels before even being in school. Obviously she had no idea about this. So this things goes way back for me. Of course in time, things weren't the same, following my parents' advice I  went to purely technical school ( high-school, university) where fashion is not exactly the first point on the 'anyone cares' list.. so probably I dialed back a little 'my true calling' haha :D But I always kept a little part of this, I was one of the 'girliest'  girls in my university (as I mentioned it was a technical one :D) but still it was a good way to keep my passion 'burning'. At one point I remember other girls nicknamed me and two of my friends "the divas" haha .. so you get the point.

The reason why I like fashion blogs from girls like you and me it's because I can relate. I don't know about you guys, don't get me wrong I love a good fashion show (not that I ever had the chance to attend to a real one), I love any sort of articles about fashion on the internet, in various magazines.. let's say even on TV, but it's so much interesting to relate and get inspired from regular girls(guys) that like fashion and they tell that to the world through their blogs. I just start being interested in his/her's life-story, the story behind the clothes, the style, because I believe that we are a sum of all the things and people that happen to us and I really think it's the same with our fashion style. It may sound a little "stalker-ish", but I think a lot of people do this, I just decided to write my opinions on these blogs also.

So, as I was saying I quickly relate to the story this person is trying to tell through his/her's blog, whether it's fashion, beauty, life-style, photography, designs, etc.. I see myself being lost in their story and being incredibly curious, so I do more and more research..

Of  course we're all different, but we're all the same.. It's all in the details, something that got stuck to my mind for years now, I don't know where I heard this.. But I believe it is very true. So this is the reason why I thought about creating this toolbox lets say. I want to point out those details, I want to point out whatever catches my eye in other people's blogs. And my opinion is that I will have material for this blogucation for a long time.
