As a photographer, it's funny to have a fashion blog where I am in front of the lense, not behind it....so I was hesitant to create an Instagram account, because I really didn't want to give into the social media form that "made everyone a photographer". Once I created one, however, I quickly fell in love with it, because let's face it.... people like looking at pictures, seeing what you're wearing, what you're eating, and what you're doing, not reading about it. It still pains my soul slightly to share pictures I took with my phone, but it's fun, and it's a great glimpse into my life. A lot of people have misconceptions of bloggers, I've heard them myself and seen the looks whenever I say I have a fashion blog. It's hard for me to admit, but I'm ashamed I used to be one of them. A lot of people think if you have a career in fashion then you're ditsy, or have no ambition, or you like to shop a lot (well, that's true) but that's not all. Balancing a blog with the rest of my life has become quite difficult because of one little bitty thing that a lot of people don't know......it's A LOT of work. I have a full time class schedule, a full time work load, a nephew to show attention to, and a serious relationship to keep afloat with the little time we have to spend with each other. Even living together we only see each other for about 2 hours every day, and 75% of that is getting ready for class, or work, or winding down, getting ready for bed. Either way, if you want to get a behind the scenes look at the life me, and my crazy busy schedule, follow me on Instagram. I share my OOTDs when I can't make it into a blog post (since I always look SO GOOD for work and school haha), my delicious meals I whip up for John and myself, previews and some shots of the photo shoots for the blog before they go live and my life as a proud auntie to the cutest nephew in the world! SO FOLLOW ME for a little unfiltered preview into the life of me, and see all the stuff that doesn't make the cut!
