Austin Street Style: Victoria.

On Tuesday at The Art Institute of Austin.


Okay, folks, since posting about how I moved to Texas for a boy and my interview with Austin Eavesdropper, Tolly Moseley, I've been thinking about the future of my blog. Yes, I am a fashion blogger, but from the response I've received for my autobiographical post, that's not just all that I am.

I've always written in my spare time, whether it be my journal or my tumblr (which has an effective use as an emotional outlet), but I never post outside of the fashion realm on Bella Vogue. As I gain more confidence in my non-fashion writing, I hope that my readers will join me on my journey of redefining my blog. Not that I'll ditch fashion together; I'll add more personable components and go from there.

Again, I cannot say thank you enough for all the great comments everyone has left recently. The Fashion Capstone class recently presented our magazine, and I cried four times. It was incredibly overwhelming.

I felt like I just gave birth to a baby. A glossy, 50-page baby that reads like a love letter to the city of Austin. This, this right here, is what I want to do with my life. I want to write and live in Austin. It's a peaceful feeling to have an idea of what I want to do after graduating.

My class has discussed making our project available online for family and friends to read, so if that happens, I'll be sure to link it. Thanks everyone for your feedback! And I hope you have a lovely day.

    I'm a fashion blogger, but that isn't all I am, either. I love adding personal touches to my blog. That is why I post vlogs, surveys, random stories from my life, etc. I feel like it adds a different dimension to the usual fashion blog, and I like that people actually want to get to know me better. :)
    I'm totally on board for this journey!

    Good on you. Any writer who keeps a blog should allow it to be a space they can use to perfect their craft. I only started to truly enjoy my blog once I allowed myself to realise its potential as a diary of sorts and, more widely, as a portfolio - a place for small demonstrations of my scope and ability. I spent a long time worrying about doing things like lengthy fashion commentary and reviews because I thought it would scare readers off and that a 'fashion blog' shouldn't be so word heavy. But fuck it. At the end of the day, if the blog doesn't make YOU happy first and foremost, the chances of it finding its way to an audience of true appreciators is slim to none.

    :)
