Life is never just made up of two clearly defined shades of white and black. There are 50 shades of grey (nope, no sexual stuff here), or perhaps more.

Different people have different perceptions and expectations of the same situation, and this is usually shaped by the life experiences that each individual has gone through as well as the level of maturity and situational awareness that each individual possesses.

I blog because I love writing and photography (I usually take photos without me in them. Those with me in them are taken by JW). The focus of my blog is on fashion (sometimes beauty too), food and travel because these are areas that family and friends usually ask me about and I’m passionate about these things. I think these are also topics that people can generally relate to on a daily basis.

When I share my clothes, bags, shopping hauls and travels on such a public platform, there are bound to be detractors who feel that it is distasteful or attention-seeking to do so. I can’t stop people from thinking the way that they want to because again, their perceptions are molded by their life experiences and upbringing. Perceptions can only be changed, be it for the better or worse, when you truly get to know a person on a deeper, more intimate level, but that is not possible with blogs as blogs only portray one dimension of the person. If my actions perpetuate any misunderstanding that you have of me, I’m sorry but there’s little I can do. I don’t aim to please anyone, except myself and the people I care about. 🙂

That’s the easiest way to feel happy, isn’t it? 😉

If this dress was longer, it could probably pass off as one of the blue cupcakes gowns that she often wore in Versailles, but that would also make me look like a clown. Haha.
