The Beginning

I recently read an article on Twitter by one of the many magazines that I follow. They were focusing on how they got their coveted jobs within the magazine. One woman was working as an online editor, and after reliving her climb up the journalistic ladder she gave her tips for anyone who wants to get into the industry. One suggestion being, blogging, she goes on to say that she strongly recommends anyone who is interested in getting into the fashion mag industry to have a blog, so much so, that she would be curious as to why somebody who wanted to get into the industry didn't have a blog. Her point is then echoed by her colleagues’, including the editor-in-chief, who says it’s a great way to get noticed for internships, but at the same time a bad blog can do more harm than good.

Aaanndd enter insomnia overload, followed by panic, anxiety, and overall stress. But there’s no time like the present, so, time to get productive. Although I’m an eager blog follower myself, from the ever chic Olivia Palermo, to the mesmerizing Jessica Stein and the hilarious Bip Ling, I've never really considered doing a blog myself. The main reasons being, good old fear and insecurities, when reading the most interesting and fashionable blogs from women who travel the world, and have access to pieces that I can only drool over onto my laptop, it can be beyond intimidating to think of what my blog may look like in comparison.

But after much thought and self deprecating, it can’t be denied that there is so much that I could possibly gain in return. It is without a doubt the best way to publicize yourself, as well as a chance to finally write about whatever I want, showcase my passion, and best of all, an opportunity to work to my own deadlines and schedule. Above all though, I am certain that I will do whatever I can to accomplish my dream of working in an amazing fashion magazine. So there's no time like the present. 

This leads me to my next point, Bonne Chance. Trying to think of a name that I felt represents me, what my blog was about, and is unique, was difficult. But because there is no guaranteed formula that will land you your dream job, all you can rely on afterwards is pure luck. Hence, Bonne Chance, meaning good luck, but in French, just to make it fancy!

So if you dare, please join me on what I'm sure is going to be bumpy blog road ahead as I try to figure this out and make it the best it can possibly be. Wish me Bonne Chance!- Apologies, that's cringy.

Thanks for reading,
