What I’ve Found In 12 Months Of Blogging

Iamfoxxtailz [originally named ‘’crap I like to buy from the internet for under £6”. . . . ] is one today yey, and in honour of this 12 month mile stone I thought i’s share with you a re-cap of old blog shots and 5 things i’ve learnt along the way.  Premature awkward stances/poses from the early days before I got the hang of resting bitch face. This Space of mine has change a lot a lot over these past 12 months, but the purpose has always been the same, to document my fashion journey and to have some sort of creative outlet. I have learnt there is a lot more to blogging then just getting your pose on a writing a few words. Theres a whole community behind it, i’ve made some really lovely friends who have been the biggest supportive system ever. I had no clue the opportunities one could receive. Its fun and addictive, watching your space grow and really flourish in being yourself. I’ve pushed myself way outside my comfort zone scaring myself half to death. I’ve tried my hardest to put myself out there all the while still remaining to remember why I started doing this in the first place.

1)I’ve fallen in and out of love more times then I care to remember -or count with blogging, lost my way, but 6 months and i’’m still pushing me to be the best version of myself. Its ok to have a break, I find its an on-going love/loathe battle but keep picking away, hard work pays off in the end.

2) The Friendships you build. This personally for me is the most rewarding. As mentioned before I have made so many great friends though blogging that are super supportive of each other. Its great and humbling having this different net of friends to share experiences with.

3) Contrary to popular belief or the stereotypes blogging really isn’t that glamorous and companies throwing free sh*t your way. [If thats the reason you started your blog in the first place then wow, think again its a hard slog]. I don’t swan off to swanky events on the reg, I don’t have piles of blogger mail waiting for me each day when I get home and I certainly do not have an inbox fulla blog type thanks and invites to places. Take now for instance, i’m sat in my living room, hair scarped back in my joggers with a Cassie that just won’t quit tryin’ to sleep on my keyboard. Hardly screams glam eh? On the back of that, what I do receive and get to attend I am so so grateful of <3

4) Blog photos. Lord I was so awkward so unsure when I first started shooting photo set for posts. I would literally die of all the embarrassment if someone saw James snapping away at me. But after a while you literally do not care if people see you get your pose on’

5) You don’t need to ‘’Fit”, you don’t have to fall into the blogger cliches, i’m talking marble errythang, candles, MAC freshly bought flowers from that adorbz farmers market. I mean its great if ya do but its really not a necessity. You can fit in perfectly into this lovely little community without actually fitting, ACES!

I’ve loved the first 12 months, and i’m sure i’ll love the next 12, and the 12 after that and the 12 after that . . . .  see where i’m going here? Keep your eyes on my lil’ space as i’ve got some big thangs a comin’ including my first ever give away with LYDC bags to celebrate my first birthday ^_^ for now enjoy some early blog post snaps ^_^ Really mis that green hair . . . .
