EVER SINCE I WAS A LITTLE GIRL posted at 12:41 AM
Listening to... Not Gonna Teach Your Boyfriend how to Dance with You - Black Kids
I've been getting a lot of worried emails, Formspring questions and tweets recently asking if I'm still blogging - just want to put the record straight, the answer is a big fat YES! I'm not posting as often as I'd like to but I'm still fully committed to London Rose. The reason is that my main focus and priority right now is getting my new online vintage shop up and running by Christmas, which is a LOT more work than I had bargained for! I spent the WHOLE of today sifting through over 750 outfit shots, choosing the best, editing every single one, writing descriptions of the items, setting up a shop Twitter and Facebook, forming a PR plan, tweaking the website layout... I've been up since 8am and have only stopped working twice briefly - once for pizza, and once for a shower! It's now almost 1am.
AND I still have so much more to do it's ridiculous! I'm working day and night to make sure the shop is a success when it launches and is professional, full to the brim with amazing stock and high quality images, and everything I've been dreaming of plus more. It doesn't leave a lot of space for blogging BUT once the shop has launched I can devote all the time I've been pouring into the shop into London Rose instead. I'm more dedicated than ever, and once the shop opens I hope you'll all be able to see that :) I'm not going anywhere! Owning my own vintage shop has been a dream of mine since I was a little girl and this is step one of making it happen.
Something else I've been asked a lot recently is for an update on life in general! Well, life has been CRAZY busy in every way but pretty sweet. My new house is as lovely and perfect as ever, and my housemates are the best. My best friend
Sophie is moving in as well at the start of December which I'm getting far too excited about!
The outfit I'm wearing here is entirely vintage: lace body, checked high waisted trousers and lace up ankle boots, accessorised with a (vintage look!) gold cross and leopard print belt. I wore it to go Christmas shopping with my mum for the day, which was really lovely. I get so excited about buying gifts for all my friends and family but I'm known for taking it a little too far!
My next blog post will be in a few short days time, I promise! And if you've actually read through this huge long waffle then THANKS! Haha x
