FareWell Polyvore

 Yesterday the whole Polyvore community was shocked when Poly announced it was acquired by another company. I will not even mention the name here because I do not want anything to do with it. The site and app were immediately disabled and all the years of creating, making friends was gone. So many members around the world are hurting right now including myself.

Many are upset directly at Polyvore, but this should not be. Polyvore had/has no control over the decisions that were made after it was acquired. Knowing Polyvore I am pretty sure they fought to give us notice. I'm sure they fought to keep Polyvore as is. I'm sure they fought for us in ways we may never know. It would of been 10 years for me this August as a member. That is 10 years of creating sets, making friends and having fashion adventures that would not have happen to me if I was not a member. 

Polyvore was not only an online fashion site, but a family. It was always amazing seeing Polypals support each other creatively and amazing seeing the bonds that grew through out the years. We were loved, cared for and heard. The love was felt. Even if people joined due to reasons other then fashion, one thing was certain; Polyvore created a safe space for anyone to be themselves and to all be princess for a while as we played digital dress up.

I have always been proud of Polyvore from the start and always believed they would get as far as they did. What an honor to have been a part of their journey; an honor to have been asked for my opinions or suggestions; an honor to have been invited to meet Pasha Sadri, Jess Lee , Nadia and Chyrstal and an honor to have been asked to be a Community Member Correspondent during Fashion Week. I will forever be thankful. This is a big sting for the Polyfam and the online fashion world. I'm sure within time the ripple effects will really start to show.

THANK YOU POLYVORE. You will always be my number one. The bubbles to my coke.

Whatever my fashion adventures hold in the future I promise to always take you with me.

It's been great Poly.

ReCap 2013: My Outfits

 It is already September and in a few months we will be counting down the new year, as we see the ball drop in Time Square. Before the year is actually over, I wanted to recap some of my 2013 outfits. It is always good to reflect on life, goals and dreams even if it is not part of a resolution. I useto write my resolutions down, but stopped for a while. I recently found an old journal with goals and dreams I wrote as a teen. Some goals have come true, while others keep me still hoping. Either way, think back to the start of 2013, have any of your goals/dreams came true?

Star Lite, Rainbow Bright!

RAINBOW BRIGHT

I know I've stated before I do not blog on the weekends, but today I broke the rules. Because, well I guess I can *wink! Today was my niece Madison's Bowling Birthday Party, she turns 8 years old. Knowing ahead of time I would be surrounded by little girls, I channeled my "inner child" by wearing my Rainbow Bright tee. After the bowling party was over I went with my mommy to a thrift store. Inside that blue bag i'm holding is a very special skirt. Stay tune for it. Hope everyone is having a lovely weekend so far...oxox

P.S

 My tiny garden is growing so well. I will make a post with photos in the weeks to come.
