GROWN WOMAN // evidently, it seems this is where I am in my life. A grown ass woman. I have fallen off the social map. completely … and you you know what? thats a-okay.

There used to be a time (not to long ago) where my priorities surrounded my blog, my business and driving myself to be the best me on the interweb … only … I wasn’t the best me in real life; so why try so hard (unbenounced to myself at the time).

In September, as you may or may not recall, I travelled to Portugal and Spain with my man friend. While I was there I made a monumental decision to quit my job and venture down an insane path. I took a gigantic leap of faith and put all my eggs, shoes, clothes, and vintage thrifted goodness in one pretty little wicker-fucking-basket.

If you ask anyone who knows me personally they will undoubtedly admit that I am the most impulsive and impatient person. To me, I have found a way to balance the two and make it not such a bad combo … but it leads me down paths left, right and centre going a million miles a minute and at times, I sink before anyone really notices I started swimming. (holy analogies!!!)

To be frank. I am not afraid of anything … which means I rarely do something and think about the consequences. Quitting my job in Europe does seem insane … but I assure you … I thought about it long and hard.

I am now working for an amazing agency focusing on an amazing brand. I work with inspiring, hilarious and dirty minded individuals who are incredibly talented at what they do in the workforce. I took a gigantic leap of faith and it paid off (thank goodness, because I’d be pretty fucked).

My point is. I am a grown woman. My blog used to fulfill the down time I possessed, and the priorities I had set, but all that has shifted, greatly … monumentally actually.

And you know what … it feels so good. So good to of had big dreams and to finally be living them. So good to set new goals and see where I end up. At the end of the day, I wish nothing but the same for you.

So this isn’t goodbye, but it is a final notice … it’s a letter letting you know that this blog started for me, and always stayed true to me. I never sold my blog out for advertising or to another brand … I blog because in 10 years it will be pretty sweet to look back at all the ridiculously fucking ugly things I wore and looked damn good in, and I will continue to do so … when I want to.

    Yes babe. This is ace. And I hear you x12million. I adore that you’ve remained honest, gained far more than just integrity. I look forward to seeing your journey as a friend rather than a reader. You are immensely talented, caring and strong. And fuck it, GROWN AS HELL.
