Hello Again

Hello Everybody,

I feel like I am back from the grave...

I have been MIA for so long, it was surprise for me to see that I even had any page views anymore. Anyway, a lot has happened since I posted last time. I have been talking to some of you privately or you might have seen me on Facebook or Instagram, but mostly I just disappeared. So if you want to know what I have been doing, I got divorced, I lost my job, I wallowed in pain, I lost some weight, I traveled, I found a new job, I sold the house, I moved, I dated, I decorated, I fell in love, I gained my weight back and then some more.

I did miss you all but I kind of lost my passion for all things JCrew and I was not sure in what format I can get back to this blog or some other reincarnation of it. I thought the solution would somehow magically reveal itself to me, but I finally realized that nothing really changes until you change it, so here I am, again.

Not sure how I will proceed but I will take it one post at the time. I have not been shopping for clothes so much recently. In fact, I don't think I have bought anything since last summer and I haven't seen the inside of the J.Crew store for more than a year. It's not that I suddenly stopped shopping, I did shop for some other brands and then, after I moved, I focused on shopping for the house, I guess I can only handle one passion at the time. I thought I can share my new pursuits with you here and see what happens.

Thank you all for being here, and as always, I'd love to hear from you.


To the new chapter!

  21. Oh Ladies, thank you so so much. I wouldn't be surprised if everybody forgot about me, I have been gone for so long. But to hear from all of you really warms up my heart. Thank you for all the kind words and the encouragement. I don't know how often I will post and if I have enough to say but it's has been so good to reconnect with all of you.
