Three Years Later





Last Friday, my little blog turned three years old. I took a few days off to celebrate the Independence Day holiday, so I didn’t post about it.

Blogging has changed my life in so many ways. I mean really, truly changed the course of my life.

For instance:

-I’ve met some amazing women who have become dear friends of mine.

-I’ve gotten some really exciting opportunities, like the Celebrate Magazine spread about the blog in 2010, or this year’s Citiscapes article that I wrote to promote NWA Fashion Week.

-I got to talk to one of my favorite actresses, Kate Walsh. I’ll never forget how nice and humble she was on the phone for the interview.

-I’ve been generously given a whole bunch of stuff that I don’t deserve, like adorable clothes and accessories, which have definitely changed my life : )

-I got to participate in a cool photo shoot for MaudeBoutique.



-As of late, I’m getting to work with Tess on some posts forSavoir-Faire.



-It helped me realize that my purpose in life (career-wise, anyway) was not to work in bank marketing (bleh.)

It helped summon the courage to leave said bank-marketing job and take a leap of faith, to go and write words for a living. Write words for cool people. Cool people that work for big companies. Companies for which I’d never dreamed of writing.

And now I do.

-I met Sarah through Kelly’s blog. Sarah introduced me to Stephen. And then I married him.

Happy Birthday, you sexy blog you.

Here's a toast to blogs.The little virtual scrapbooks that let us tell the world a whole mess of stuff that it probably didn’t really care to know. And how to wear floral skinny jeans.

Be blessed, lovelies-

  7. Happy blog birthdayversary! :) So cool about all your awesome life happenings as a result of your little corner on the internet. :) I certainly have loved being one of your readers, blog friends, fashion followers, etc! You rock, sister.

    Also, you were in bank marketing?! I'm in bank communications! (which everyone thinks is pretty much the same thing...b/c it kinda is in a lot of ways). Anyhoo, when you have a free sec, I'd love to hear more about how you started doing what you're doing now! (via email of course). XOXO!
