Color Me Styled - You Are What You Like

My personality results!

Our parents have been preaching it for years... your online life is not private. And heaven help me if Facebook had existed when I was in high school (or younger! I feel so bad for kids these days).

I just have 4 years of college documented for myself, and everyone, to see.

But I am proud of who I am. And, after all, you are what you like.

Knowing that people today partially live through Facebook researchers at the University of Cambridge have figured out how to identify personality traits through your likes on Facebook.

To develop their model they looked at Facebook profiles and likes of 58,466 participants. They also issued those 58k personality tests, compared the results and found enough similarities to predict personality traits with impressive accuracy.

"We like the same stuff" can be used to describe almost every successful friendship I have so Facebook is onto something when they tell me that my friends have liked certain pages.

Try it for yourself! Visit YouAreWhatYouLike.com and log in with your Facebook account. It takes like 4 seconds and is super fun! 

And speaking of Likes on Facebook... go ahead and Like Color Me Styled!

Color Me Styled - Blogging Horoscope

ifb - International Fashion Bloggers - recently posted Blogging Horoscopes or, what your sign says about your blog. 

I've always been interested in horoscopes because I've always found truth in them. Not necessarily the predictions, but the personality traits. I believe them to be 100% on point... okay, like 87%. I don't read my horoscope very often but they're fun to read in some of the fashion magazines and on your birthday. 

Here's some not so subtle humble-bragging about me based on my sign. I am humane, frank, serious minded, refined, idealistic but with a sensible practicality. I am quick, active and express myself with reason, moderation and usually, a dry humor. I am intelligent, concise, clear and logical. I have incredible taste and high standards and only want the classiest of things.

So as an Aquarius, here is what I will do best for you on Color Me Styled.

Aquarius

Description: You want to understand life’s mysteries and will do anything to be unique and original. You are a born leader and a trendsetter, and often times march to the beat of a different drum — which can sometimes come off as, dare I say it, crazy. But sometimes crazy is a good thing, it can lead to innovation!

What you should probably blog about: Discovering new designers, forecasting trends

With this in mind I'll begin to bring you more new designers (hello Etsy shops!), new blogs and new pinterest nuggets and help you navigate the Runway trends! Hint: right now you should be wearing green (anything but lime) and oxblood red. But not together. It isn't Christmas just yet.
