Hello Hauteness

One of the many inspirations I had for starting this blog was other bloggers.  Blogging has become the simplest form of journalism.  People sharing their thoughts, stories and ideas via the written word and putting it out there for all to see, read and respond to.  As part of my journey into online journalism I would like to spotlight other bloggers who I admire and follow.

First up to bat is Adored Austin.  The adorable Indiana Adams, actress, writer and soon-to-be mommy, started this Austin fashion and style blog in the summer of 2009.  Since then she has skyrocketed into the local fashion scene with her coverage of local designers, boutiques, and events.  Indiana’s down-to-earth approach to fashion and style is something I admire and am inspired by.  So often fashion is seen as a pretentious subject and I hate this.  The first thing that drew me to Adored Austin is Mrs. Adams ability to keep fashion fun, light-hearted, and open to all.

Indiana and me at Eliza Page

I had the pleasure of meeting Indiana at a fashion blogger boutique crawl she hosted during SXSW in Austin last March. At the time, Hello Hauteness was just a glimmer in my eye and I was just beginning to discover what the Austin fashion scene had to offer.  Indiana greeted me with such warmth and modesty that it truly put me at ease.  As a girl that simply loves fashion, colors, design, and art, it was wonderful to meet someone who feels the same way and wants to see others express themselves via the wonderful world of blogging.

Check out Adored Austin.  Even if you’re not a local Austinite, Indiana’s lovely take on fashion will make you a loyal follower.

P.S.  I love Indiana’s post from yesterday showing off Tom’s newest wedge styles!  You gotta love a cute shoe from a company that gives back.
