i have always been a fan of phedre's beautifully done sets. ive noticed she uses unique colors and intricate designs along with vintage pieces. she mixes pastel colors with gloomier colors which makes her sets very different and intersting. this is a bit about her.

1. My name is Griet and I'm from Belgium. I live in Nijlen, a small town near Antwerp, the shopping-city! I'm 32 and a highschool teacher. I teach history. The greatest love of my life is my 17 month old daughter Céleste and ofcours my hubby Stijn. My hobby's are polyvore, reading and shopping. We have a cat, a dog and two horses.

2. My style is simple chique. I love natural colors like ... brown, grey and taupe. I mostley buy timeless pieces instead of trendy stuff. And I am a huge handbag fan!
3. I discovered polyvore through 'The PurseForum'. There was a thread where you had to make an outfit including anything Louis Vuitton. The starter posted the link to polyvore and so a new addiction was born!
4. To me polyvore is just a lot of fun. I mostley use it to create sets with outfits and I like to experiment with backgrounds. I love polyvore because it's like shopping without paying. You can use items that you could never afford in real life.
5. I usualy start with an item that I like and build the set around that piece. It can be clothes, bag, background, .... Sometimes when I see contests that are interesting I create a set specialy with that theme, but only if I have enough inspiration. I love browsing through all the items and when I see something I like, I save it to my items to use in the future.
6. There's not much I would change to polyvore. Maybe the 5 group rule, a 10 group rule would be better.
