Last week, something very nice happened. Irish fashion designer Eilis Boyle said that she liked my blog. This made me very happy indeed, because Eilis is one of my favourite Irish designers. She’s very aware and devoted to fashion and craftsmanship (and she happens to have a wonderful blog of her own). So, I MUST be doing something right….
Through her, Madeleine of In New York Paris Tomorrow contacted me and asked me if I’d like to do a guest post. This was somewhat of a double whaamy, because I also love Madeleine’s blog. It’s an insiders view on fashion that is open, non-pretentious, thoughful and full of personal fashion memories as well as the best style-related news. I feel ashamed for using the word chuffed because it reminds me of Thomas the Tank Engine (don’t ask) but I was incredibly chuffed that she had asked me.
Here’s some very kind words that Madeleine said about my blog.
The Licentiate blog is stylish and intelligent; relishing views of fashion and its inhabitants with humor, kindness and honesty. I fell in love with her consideration of Anna Piaggi and Tavi Gevinson as kindred souls; of course she is correct and not bogged down by preconceptions.
Thank you so much for having me.

Congrats Sarah, wonderful compliments & well deserved! I just the read your post on In New York Paris Tomorrow…I pretty much get the same response when I attempt to talk about anything fashion related to my boyfriend (but I like it that way – what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him!
)
That is very true – I think I’d have reason for concern if he suddenly took an interest in fashion and art!

Madeleine said some lovely things about you at the end of the post, such a nice compliment! oh, and ive been a bit behind checking out my blog list so only seeing the new wordpress layout now but it looks great!! very professional!
Glad you like it! I’m really flattered at all the lovely things Madeleine said.
