Hey everyone! Im back and finally ready to start blogging again :) I am terribly sorry that I gave you guys one post and then left for a couple months, but I have come back and will say that my leave of absence won't happen again anytime soon.
Since the creation of this blog I have done quite a lot of thinking. When I started xoxoNicoleStJohn I desperately wanted to create my own personal style blog where I could share my unique style with the world, but after I posted my first post I quickly realized many reasons why I could not fulfill my dream at this very moment. First of all, I am a high school student in the midst of the most important academic year of her life. While I would love to become an amazing fashion blogger with thousands of followers, I was hit with the reality that my goal takes an enormous amount of time that I currently do not have. Another big issue is the fact that even though I can put together cute and unique outfits to share with my followers, unfortunately I do not have my own personal photographer following me around like I'm a professional, such as Happily Grey, Sincerely Jules, or Native Fox. (although that would be an absolute dream)
Moving forward, now that I have finally come to terms with the fact that my dream of creating a personal style blog will not come true anytime soon, I did realize that there are many other aspects in my life that are just as wonderfully interesting and important as fashion is to me. With this I have decided to create more of a lifestyle blog, focusing on my daily, average teenage-girl life in Orange County instead of daily outfits.
Some of my upcoming post ideas include spring/ summer fashion trends, my favorite healthy foods (and how to make them), recent purchases from my latest adventures to the mall, and lots and lots of pretty pictures of Laguna Beach (also maybe a few of my cat haha). Although, with that said, I am NOT giving up on my dreams of a style blog and will be posting ootd's any chance I can get!
XOXO Nicole St.John
