In Spades

Style... in abundance

Year One

YearOne1
Today is an exciting day for me because it marks the 1 year anniversary of In Spades!

When I think about all that has happened in the past year, I am overwhelmed with gratitude, appreciation and excitement. When I first started In Spades, it existed in a virtual vacuum. I didn’t tell anyone about it. Looking back, perhaps this was because I was a little embarrassed. Fashion blogging was already extremely over saturated. Did I have anything different to throw into the mix? Would it be good? Would anyone even read it? Anytime you put yourself out there, there is a very large chance you’ll be met with crickets, or worse, total rejection. But on May 5th, 2014 I decided to just get over it and tell my friends and family that the journey, had in fact, begun.

And look where the journey has taken me. I’ve attended New York Fashion Week. Twice. I’ve seen Bill Cunningham in person. I’ve collaborated with one of my favorite local boutiques. I’ve been introduced to exciting new brands. I’ve interviewed up-and-coming and world-renowned designers. I’ve made new friends and connected with fellow bloggers worldwide.

So thank you to all for your support. Thank you for reading, commenting and liking my posts. Without your interaction, this would just be an online diary. Because of you, it’s a blog. A blog I’m very proud of and one I’m excited to grow.

A huge thank you also goes out to the man behind the camera. He is the other half of In Spades, the one who indulges my crazy, dramatic whims. Thank you, dear husband.

Here’s to Year One!
