OVERVIEW
Welcome to Fancy Find, a website/blog run by Amy Uhrich (me). Fancy Find is an exercise in aesthetics (the study of what is beautiful, or what beauty is), happiness (an attempt at optimism and focus on wonder) and egocentrism (truthfully, this website is all about me. Me. ME). Fancy Find is my venue for sharing art, fashion, literature, music, opinions, and other things I find particularly appealing (and occasionally, some of my own creations as well). My goal is to create a unique and delicious aesthetic; to define, discover, rediscover, and relay beauty; to live magically and highlight the wonder in life.
POSTS
Toybox: As a harkening back to childlike wonder, Toybox posts will consist of a handful of entertaining items collected from around the web for your fun and frivolous viewing pleasure. Each week I will try to include music/video, literature, photography, cool links, and various other little playthings/mementos.
Wardrobe Wednesdays: In keeping with the street fashion aesthetic and blogging trend, narcissism, and my warped sense of self-expression, Wednesdays will be reserved for posting various personal outfit photos/shoots, as well as recent fashion finds and purchases. Flair will be had. Disdain for my style is optional.
Features: Feature posts (duh). I may highlight an artist, author/poet, photographer, blogger, website, boutique, designer, musician, idea, et cetera (or a specific collection, compilation, or series from any of the above)–and pimp said entity’s content like it’s my job. Wait…
Sundry: Surprise! I can post whatever I want! It could be a personal reflection, a prize giveaway, or something else I want to share that didn’t fit anywhere else, or revealed itself at the last minute and was just too spectacular to pass up. Or, it could be a meditation on cucumbers. You’ll really only know if you tune in.
And that’s it! There may be a few errant posts here and there (I can’t predict the future…or can I?), and it’s possible there will be times my posts are a bit late. But I’ll make every effort, I promise.
COMMENTS
Comments are a place for readers to have fun and connect with me, the content, and each other, so please don’t be shy! I will attempt to respond to all post comments. I encourage readers to be open and honest in comments and discussion, but please remember to keep it clean–malicious or otherwise unpleasant comments will be deleted.
