First of all, I cannot tell you guys how long my new site has been in the making! I am so excited to finally share it with you and while my one year anniversary of blogging was technically a few weeks ago, I thought I would wait to celebrate until I could also celebrate the new look of the blog!
This past year has been an amazing journey to finding myself, my style, learning who I can count on and knowing there is nothing more important in life than the support from the ones you love. I left what everyone thought was a dream job at E! (and it was glam somedays, I will not lie), to go on my own – to learn; to grow; and that I did and still am. Waking up everyday to be able to create whatever content you feel like, having a flexible schedule and not knowing what tomorrow will bring is an amazing feeling. That is not to say this last year spent blogging full-time has always been filled with amazing days. Being your own boss and a fashion blogger in an already saturated market, and coming late to the game no less, is hard. There have been days when I questioned it all and wished myself back into a cushy job where I was needed and regularly got paid! But with the highs and the lows come the JOURNEY. I have learned that patience is something I need more of and I also need to be more in the moment and less worries about the future (I have always been such a planner). The biggest take away from this last year is to trust your gut, believe in yourself enough to follow your dreams and everything probably does happen for a reason, you just might not understand it at the time! THANK YOU THANK YOU for taking this journey with me and I hope you will continue to follow along for the next year! xoxo
