If you’ve somehow remembered this little corner of the internet (or stumbled across it by accident) – I promise I have too!
This blog has been part of my life for a long time. Twelve years, in fact! That’s long enough for questionable fashion choices to become trendy again (not that I ever made any ofc), social media platforms to go in and out of fashion and for me to have forgotten a couple passwords to get back into WordPress to even share this post.
I never officially stopped blogging. I just… drifted away for a bit.
Life has a habit of doing that right? Here’s a few things that happened in my life since I last posted:
- I’ve changed jobs three times (none of which were on my bingo card) – one through redundancy, one because I felt the threat of redundancy in a VERY disorganised business, one because it wasn’t the right fit (for a variety of reasons I won’t bore you with).
- I had a couple of health issues (eyes and autoimmune) that caused me to re-evaluate my life and make some changes to allow me keep doing (most) of the things I want to.
- I’ve been on more holidays and started to dip my toe back into staycations/UK breaks.
- I’ve been shopping less and repeating outfits more than the original Jenny Chat (or Curious Alice, if you been here even longer than that) who started this blog would’ve felt is acceptable. How fashion culture has changed eh!
I’ve still been creating content about most of these things but found myself sharing videos on Tik Tok and carousel images on IG, instead of sitting down to write about it like I used to.
Every so often, I’d think “this would make a good blog post”. What I’ve worn every day this week, my itinerary for a a second trip to Iceland, restaurants and bars to try in a holiday destination, or a completely random life observation / opinion that nobody asked for but I wanted to share anyway.
Soooooo…… I decided to stop thinking it and have a go at doing it again.
The plan?
I’d love to get back to writing regularly. No strict schedule or specific content in mind, but I’d like to start filling this space again with the kind of content I genuinely enjoy creating.
Expect some travel (itineraries and recommendations), the odd opinion piece and maybe a few throwback fashion entires if I don’t feel too cringe doing it!
If you’ve been reading for years, thank you for sticking around and for clicking to read this. I really appreciate it.
If you’re new here, hello! I hope you’ll find something you enjoy reading and maybe even come back for future posts?
See you soon,
