Keep Feeling Fascination is a blog dedicated to creative inspiration. Fashion, art, style, music, people, places, and things pique my interest and continue to remind me that curiosity is endless.

After becoming addicted to clothes and music at the ripe age of 10, I pursued a career in fashion and have managed to somehow survive the ebbs and flows of the industry. I graduated from the University of Houston in 2001 and landed at PaperCity Magazine until I decided to move to Los Angeles in 2003. After a brief stint at California Apparel News, I served as West Coast Trend Correspondent for an online fashion trend forecasting service where I reported on retail and street trends in Los Angeles and parts of South America for nearly three years.  A freelance career followed soon after writing for Men.Style.com, working as Fashion Editor for Closet Couture and compiling trend reports for companies such as Levi’s, Steven by Steve Madden and B.Base Eyewear in Hong Kong.  I have recently launched a new business, kneeland co., selling vintage textile and prints; embellishments; and jewelry to designers to be used as inspiration for creating product.  Visit www.kneelandco.com.

    Hi Joanna, thanks so much for your lovely comments on my blog, it is the first thing I have read after getting back from Sweden late last night and has made me feel very positive on a Monday morning!

    Your blog also looks really interesting, I will have a proper look later tonight when I have a bit more time. Which online trends forecaster did you work for? You sound like you’ve had some great jobs!!

    Hello,

    I just discovered your blog and absolutely love it! I am a trend forecaster in New York (actually use/work with Stylesight quite a bit), but am constantly on the prowl for new and exciting inspiration. I have officially been on your website/blog for an hour now and it has been one of the better hours I have spent online in a long time and just simply wanted to thank you. So, thank you! I look forward to more posts in the future. And congrats on your new business – it is a great adventure after working in the forecasting industry – good luck!

    Cheers,
    Abbey
