There are many, but I’ll stick to the main few. Before I started blogging I never know about this insane underground world of fashion blogging. Who would’ve known that there are thousands & thousands of bloggers out there and that you can make money off of it? Mind blown. right? Anyways, I’ve joined the world of fashion blogging, but will most likely not join the ranks of the big names for the following reasons:
1.) I lost my hairbrush for all of last week. Yep, 7 days. My fingers = hairbrush.
2.) If I’m wearing sunglasses in all my photos there is a 99.99% chance I’m not wearing makeup. Because makeup is far too much work.
3.) I’ve never eaten a macaroon, or touched one, or even seen one in real life for that matter.
4.) I don’t take perfectly staged Instagram photos with fresh flowers, perfume, my designer bag & some type of beverage.
5.) My life is not glamourous. I don’t fly to NYFW, or get given tons of free items, or have 100k Instagram followers.
6.) I totally re-wear outfits, not all the time, but it definitely happens
7.) My photographer is not a professional; it is whatever friend is willing and/or can be bribed that day 🙂
8.) I always forget to wear jewelry, because bracelets just get in my way! (Forget the super trendy “arm party”… Please tell me how I’m supposed to comfortably use my laptop with 6 bracelets on each arm?!)
So there you have it, the 8 reasons why I will never be famous. Whew. Maybe one day some of those will change – but I can tell you it definitely won’t be numbers 1, 2 or 6.
Happy Hump Day!

more about me
#Mylife you nailed it. This is exactly how i feel lol. Also who has time to perfectly stage their instagram photos anyways lol!!
Haha for real. My table and magazines and beverages are just not that cute!
Ha exactly, especially the bribing 😉
Kristina does the Internets
Cinnamon scones from Panera & baked goods usually do the trick for my friends 🙂
I totally wrote a post like this a couple of months ago! I can so relate to these reasons, you’re not alone! I definitely don’t get the obsession with macaroons and I also bribe my mom, sister, boyfriend, etc. to take my pics. Good to know someone else is struggling through this fashion blog world with me!

I’m with ya girl! We can’t all be that glamorous. I like our way better anyways!
Hahaha, love it! I completely relate. Someone once said that I wear my sunglasses too often and were outdated. Well, sorry, but I spend $7 on them from Target (since I tend to lose them) and I wear them when I take pictures outside because it’s SUNNY!
Real life, people. We live it.
Yeah, I’m with you. Sorry I don’t have 10 pairs of designer sunglasses! Haha
LOVE IT! this made me LOL and so many are true for me too, especially re-wearing outfits and not wearing eye makeup. If I have to take pictures when it’s cloudy out on the weekends I will either a) wait until it’s sunny so i can wear sunnies or b) try again another day!

I am totally in agreement with all of these, except the jewelry one. I am a total junkie and I can’t help it. Oh and the hair brush one too. Curly hair + hairbrush = really bad. BUt you look adorable in this outfit! Love the skirt!

This made me laugh so hard! I HATE wearing bracelets, they clank all day on my glass desk. Also lol to staged food photos. I suck at them.
Colour Me Classic
I know, are the stacks of bracelets the worst at work? Haha
haha, yep! This is exactly how I feel, most of the time. Especially about Instagram… I mean, my coffee table does NOT look like that… and I feel ya with bracelets too. I wear them, but as soon as I get to work, they come off and sit next to me all day!
Fun post!

For real- my coffee table is not gorgeous & white!
BAHAHAHAHAHAHA You just basically nailed it on all accounts!!
Like, I TRY to get those perfect Insta shots, but I just don’t have that much light, nor do I have a pretty desk. I write my blog posts on my bed most of the time!

Something About That
Haha exactly! I’ve recently switched from my bed to my desk- just for my back’s sake haha
Haha I am the same in pretty much every respect! Also, I don’t even have the excuse of losing my hairbrush – some days I just don’t brush my hair. Is that awful?! 😉
Let’s just go with the idea that it’s healthier for our hair?! Haha
