So long, lengthy bio page! Hello, fresh fun about section!!
As they say, “a picture is worth a thousand words”… well, at least it takes less time to read! Here’s a brief intro to me and my work via my ever growing Instagram feed.
As you’ve gathered from above, my name is Hilary (hence the blog title) and I’m the author, stylist, photographer, and editor of Hilary Inspired. A light hobby turned serious creative outlet, this blog was born in January of 2010 and has become a major part of my development as a designer and creative thinker.
You’ve already gotten the photo version of my bio but, in case you’re also wondering, here is a slightly more in depth look at why I write this blog.
It’s my belief that design is a fusion of the practicalities of life and the creative impetuous of art. Our personal presentation (i.e. our apparel and home decor) can be a sort of art as well… a personal art. We choose our bodily and environmental attire with the intention, whether conscious or not, of communicating something about ourselves and the things we value. Grand or simple, unique or familiar, it’s an un-fine but precious form of expression. I like exploring those forms here on these tucked-away pages of the internet.
My hope with Hilary Inspired is to encourage an artful and authentic approach to personal style through a collection of thoughts, photographs, and features gathered from my life and the lives of others.
HILARY INSPIRED, Style + Art + Life…

Can I offer real advice? Or should I keep quiet? I promise it’s real, not mean.

Absolutely! I am such an amateur and you obviously have a lot more experience than me. Whatcha got?

Thanks so much, Nina! I’m glad you are enjoying it. I have to say, it’s a lot of fun and a great way for me to identify and explore those things that inspire me most, while also sharing them with all of you!

Quite a fun read, Hilary. I especially enjoyed the shopping cart/chair. Side note: have you found wordpress to be fairly user-friendly?
Hilary Walker says:
Feb 17, 2010
Hey, Reuben! Thanks so much for stopping by. WordPress has actually been pretty easy to use. Of course, being a blogger newby, I had a lot to learn about very simple webpage formatting concepts. But now that I’m starting to get the hang of it, I would say it’s well organized and user-friendly. I’m also still learning how to customize my own page using their “mass-produced” themes…it’s a work in progress and I’m gradually getting closer to where I want to be.
Are you thinking about starting a blog?
