Hi! I'm Chloé. I'm a twenty-something girl living in New Zealand with my husband. I graduated in 2011 with a Bachelor of Fine Arts (majoring in Sculpture) and now I'm trying to figure out where to go from there! I'm currently doing a 6 month intensive fashion design course, and one day I hope to start my own business.

I started In Bloom as a place to share my journey towards living a creative and spiritual life. I believe that creativity is good for the soul!

In this place I write about and share things like recipes, style, and DIY to nurture my creativity, as well as reflections on life and musings on my faith.

I hope that you find some inspiration here.

Thanks for visiting and come back soon!

Early saturday morning at the beach #latergram #nofilter #weekend

Rubber duckie, you're the one! You make bath time lots of fun! #bubblebath #rubberduck #totallybeingagrownup

Today I had macarons for the first time - cappuccino and raspberry. Such yummy (& pretty!) little treats #macaron #friday #love

A photo from yesterday - enjoying the sunshine. Wearing black maxi skirt & rose print blouse (gift from my sister). My black maxi gets so much wear, I think it's quite casually elegant #latergram #ootd #wiw

A bit of lunchtime reading. Such a beautiful story #latergram

This is how I'm spending my Saturday night. #jellybeans #sugarhigh #livinglarge

I took some time out tonight to create. No pressure, no worrying about the end product. Just simply enjoying the process. I've really missed doing this - for a while I started making for others, and my art got lost in the process. Now I'm making for myself, and I'm feeling the joy in it again.
