t's been a long but fruitful hiatus, and your girl is back.

What to expect from The Holden Archive in the coming months:

Art reviews - There is so much happening in the San Francisco gallery scene that I'd love to share with you.

Less labels, more fashion - If you're like me, you've grown up a bit and have truly gotten over label whoredom. If not, I highly recommend you read Dana Thomas' Deluxe: How Luxury Lost Its Luster (Penguin, New York: 2007). One of my fashion heroes, Catie of Cuffington.com, gave this to me and it is enlightening to say the least. 

More of what I do in art - It's a tough road to hoe, but I am a working artist, and I'd love to share the process (and maybe even finished products) with you.

I'd also like to do some more interviews, Q&As, and connect with YOU, dear readers. Even though this is a Tumblr-powered site, The Holden Archive is anything but a one-way street. So, if you'd like, please "Ask me anything" and start a discussion.

For those of you who like more fashion-centric sites, I recommend:

Cuffington

FashionForWriters

and

TheSFStyle

And finally, for those of you left interested in my general life-craziness (love, engagements, marriage: all from a City Girl's perspective, you can go see my other blog, SFLoveStory (there's cool pictures there too that have nothing to do with anything in the lovely Tumblr way)...yeah, it's a big messy diary.
