A Pair & A Spare is a chronicle of Geneva's day-to-day addiction to Do It Yourself fashion, where she shows you how to create the most desirable and on-trend fashion and lifestyle projects. Originally from Brisbane, Australia and now living in Hong Kong, Geneva believes in a sustainable approach to fashion and revels in making old new and on-trend using sewing, beading, studding, refashioning and a host of other projects. Proving that DIY Fashion can  complement traditional fashion ideals, Geneva also posts a weekly DIY tutorial over at Harper's BAZAAR Australia and was recently featured in an eight page spread by Cosmopolitan Magazine Australia.

Well hey there, champs! Welcome to Vanagon Champion (formerly A is for Ampersand). You are lovely for being here, and I hope you'll stay to visit. My name is Amy, and I'm a 25 year old cat lady addicted to all things vintage, thrifty, and cat-related. I'm a recent sewing addict with more heart than skill, and this is my humble corner of the interwebz.

About Me Angelica. It means bringer of good news. I try to embrace that. Fashion for me is an individual expression of the inner being that you are. It reflects facets of your personality - your favourite movie, the food you enjoy, your favourite singer, the people who you hang out with and what you think about when you're lying in your bed alone at night and staring at the ceiling. One day I hope to work for Teen Vogue. That is my ultimate dream. However, for now I am learning the ropes in the fashion world. Designers, models, styles, clothing, and sewing - the list goes on. Never be afraid to stand out because it shows people that you are unique and not one of the many crowds. I love Taylor Swift. She is my hero and biggest inspiration. I love my Mom because she is everything to me and I get my style from her. Although, most people say I should have been born in the sixties because I rock a good hippie/bohemian outfit. God is my rock. Jesus is my Saviour not my religion. I fell in love with the man who died for me. God is the one person I can always turn to and He'll always be there for me, no matter what. Time, space and distance don't count. I am where I am now because I love Him and He has done so much for me. I continue to walk in His Destiny for me. "For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." - Jeremiah 29vs11 I am originally from Cape Town, South Africa but now living in Sydney, Australia. If you have any questions don't be afraid to drop a question in my ask box. It can even be fashion advice - if you have a piece of clothing and you don't know how to wear it, I can help! Much Love Angelica

"Hi there! My name is Camille and I love color, fashion, sewing and many others lovelies. Stick around!"

Emma aime is a style and lifestyle blog encorporating all the things in life that I love.

My name is Darby. I am a  wife and the mother of three young children and this is my blog. I love old houses, photography, renovating, interior design, sewing, flea markets, cooking,  baking, Diet Coke, Twizzlers, and eating dinner outside. I have a twin sister, whom I love living not too far from. She is an extremely talented designer and blogs HERE. Just a little reminder: this a blog, not a real life account, but merely a tiny glimpse into our lives. We don't sit around craft, bake and smile for pictures all day long. We do strive to glorify God but fail miserably and recognize our deep need of a Savior. What comfort we find in knowing that our debts have been paid and we have been set free. I also always love to hear from those who are reading and do my best to answer any questions I get via email. I consider each correspondence a blessing, but unfortunately can't always find the extra hours in the day to respond to each one, but I do my best: darby@flythroughourwindow.com.

I'm Elyse, the 20-something lady behind the blog, residing in Sydney, Australia. I grew up on an organic vegetable farm in a small country town, but have since moved to the city. You can find me on a weekend morning at a long lazy brunch drinking too much coffee, reading, over-thinking life, and obsessively making to-do lists! I like big things like art exhibitions, sewing, vintage fashion, photography, documentaries and travel... but I also like little things like toasted blueberry bread, fresh flowers, notebooks and wine.

I'm a 24-year-old fashion marketing grad with a love for sewing, photography, food, and ghost stories. I like dressing up (even when I'm dressed down). I also have a slight obsession with bows and cupcakes. And sometimes shoes.
