Happy New Year readers!  I hope 2019 has started off well for all of you.

At the start of the new year, I took a much needed break from Instagram.  While I wish I would have refrained from the app altogether, I did pop on to see what others were up to.  What I saw overwhelmed me.  Messages of total life overhauls, aggressive fitness routines and proclamations of lengthy, super specific goals were made.  If that was you, rock on.  More power to you.

But for me, it prompted an overwhelming feeling of SLOW DOWN.  It made me want to reflect on the many blessings in my life right now – not get all uppity about what I’m lacking or have yet to accomplish.

I talked about my 2019 goals and what I hope is in store for me this year.  If you missed the post, I want to add more value back into your lives.  So please let me know via email, social media or in the comments what you’d like to see more of.  Style tips?  Closet overhauls?  Videos?  Let me know!

One of my first major shares of 2019 will be NYFW in February.  This season team In Spades is doing things a little differently.  I talked previously about sharing my reflections on how much NYFW has changed since we first started attending.  Why is this important?  Well, beyond some truth bombs and gossipy tidbits I have to share, it shows how the world of fashion blogging has affected a multi-billion dollar industry (an industry you rely on every day).  It shows how your buying habits are changing the way brands market to you.  Further, it means trends are dictated differently than they once were, which further fuels the cycle of consumerism.

If you geek out on fashion like I do, you won’t want to miss it. 🙂
