exploring blog archives: panache-halloweentown, octobers 2009-2013

panache-halloweentown.blogspot.com, the blog of Brisbane-based designer-turned-ceramicist/banker Wendy Ma, is my new obsession.  She started blogging in October 2008 and kept it up for nearly eight years before deciding it was time to move on, close her brand, and move on to other creative pursuits.  Lucky for us, she kept her blog up so I can dig through her archives and drool over the endless outfit inspiration, DIYs, playlists, and snapshots of her life that she shared.  

also isn't her blog logo the coolest?


With a blog name like panache-halloweentown, you'd expect her blog to go crazy during Halloween—  and her posts lived up to the hype.  She killed it each year with the costumes (check out her Little Red Riding Hood and Baby Spice-Posh Spice hybrid below) and also shared creative costume moods boards in case anyone needs some last-minute inspo.  Check it out below:
