WHHHHAAT??! It's 2010. I'm just coming to this realization. Really realizing. It's 2010.
A lot has gone on in my life, in say, the last 4 years. And lots has remained the same. I say that partly as a reflection of how time has passed and a small part in judgment of myself. I'm careful not to judge myself too harshly. I've learned a lot about myself in the last four years and one of those things is to not judge myself so harshly. I do, however, believe in taking stock of oneself and sometimes that means judging how one behaves. Which is completely different than judging.
And I think this is why I've decided to start this blog. Part of me thinks, "A fashion blog?? Now? It seems like too little, too late." I think it was the New York Times that recently wrote an article about the sudden emergence of fashion bloggers on the "Fashion World". About how bloggers like BryanBoy (http://www.bryanboy.com/ - who I've been reading for YEARS and who I ADORE -my shameless brag-) have been embraced by designers and sit front row at shows, just seats next to Ms. Wintour herself. So, here I am the last one on the bandwagon. But I don't do this in hopes that one day I'll sit front row at Alexander McQueen (OK...maybe a little bit), but because, like all fashion bloggers, I have a love of fashion. Fashion has always seemed like this impenetrable world of who's who and what's in and blah, blah, blah. Which, I will admit, is one of the reasons I love it so much. Kinda like high school all over again, but more glamorous, and without all the insecurities. But maybe in some small way I can be a part of something that I love so much.
I'm not totally sure yet what all this blog will entail. Lots of fashion, a little bit me (Oh...did I mention that I'm a fashion design student??), some of my projects, and things that inspire me. Just a place for me to take stock of what's important in my life. So if you're still reading this, I've gotten your attention somehow. I'm usually not this wordy, really. I don't even consider myself a writer at all. But, just like the World Wide Web, isn't there a little piece of fashion for all of us?
Stay tuned....
