Life Lately: A Personal Update

Coming back to this blog and writing here again feels a little out of place, especially after taking a break from fashion blogging for a few months.

To be honest, managing this blog, the YouTube channel, the Instagram page, and my personal life has been overwhelming since August 2024. In just nine months, life changed drastically.
My dad was diagnosed with cancer. I was constantly between cities, trying to juggle work commitments while navigating deep emotional turmoil. Burnout followed soon after. Losing my dad shattered me, and in the midst of grief, I lost interest in the creative pursuits that once gave me life. Slowly, and often painfully, I had to push myself to find that spark again.

It’s been difficult, to say the least.

So, as any good friend would advise in times like these, I advised myself to take a step back—and rest. I’ve taken time to grieve, to heal, to find meaning again, and to release the heavy, negative feelings that weighed me down.

And while I did all that, this blog must have felt a little abandoned.

So please, accept my sincere apologies.

But now, as I return from my break from fashion blogging, I feel more grounded, inspired, and ready to reconnect with the creative journey that once lit me up. I look forward to sharing more unique ideas and taking you along on the fashion adventures that have always been at the heart of this space.
