My Journey – TopFashionista 1st. Anniversary

My Journey - Topfashionista First Anniversary

Hello beauties! This is a very special post to me as it’s the first year of my blogging journey and let me tell you this has been a hell of a journey, it’s far the most fun thing I’ve ever found to do in SL. And today I’m not only going to tell you how it all started but also it’s a thank you post to all the people that helped me during this year. Btw, sorry but this is gonna be a huge post.

So it all started me visiting various blogs including Interstyle Fashion, Suicide Cabinet, Strawberry Singh’s blog, All The Rage, Luna’s Jubilee’s Blog, Juicybomb and some other blogs that I’ve always admired not only for the quality of the images but also cause they are fun to check. So I decided open myself a blog with the purpose of showing people my LOTDs, I didn’t care at all about pictures or even promoting it, I just did it when I wanted to do it or when I though I came up with a nice outfit. That was back in 2012. At the end of September 2013 I saw this call from Fabulously Free in SL for new bloggers, so I though why not apply. Some weeks after I was chosen to be part of this great family of bloggers, so in October, the serious part of blogging started. I started  learning how to promote a blog, trying to do better pictures, finding freebies or cheap clothes and accessories so I could do my blog posts there. I loved the experience, I love the group and I miss it a lot.

But, it was time to leave Fabfree as I didn’t have much time to blog that much anymore and started to post only on this blog, the first sponsors started to come as I started to apply to different stores (I still get nervous when I apply as blogger XD), I starting learning how to edit pictures in Photoshop (I still learn everyday something new) and I decided to promote it more. Talking about sponsors, one of my happiest times during blogging was seeing a call from Glam Affair to become a blogger for the store, I’ve always used Aida’s skins and I have to say that I wasn’t that confident on getting that group ’cause all the girls that blog for it have amazing pictures and amazing blogs, but after I saw on my email an invitation to the Glam Affair Bloggers Group from Sophia Harlow you should of see me jumping around my room screaming “I got it, I got it” (I still keep that email). Other one was Truth, I’ve applied for it like three times and I always say “third time lucky” so again I was jumping and screaming around my room when I got Truth Hawk’s invitation to the group and a welcome note. Of course, I keep those emails too. I get pretty happy every time I get chosen to blog for a store or an event or with those Ims asking me to blog certain things, brands or events as it demonstrates to me that people likes my work. :)

This journey haven’t been easy but as I said is the funnest thing I’ve ever done in SL. I’ve discovered my creative side, I’ve met so many nice people, I’ve learned a lot about fashion and photography, I mean, I LOVE TO BE A BLOGGER! Now it’s time to the thank you part.

Thanks to:

Hello Beauties! Today I came up with this pinkish outfit that I really wanted to show you! Hope you like it!

There are many events around the grid these days and one of it is The Dreamer’s Factory. Since you get to the landing point you feel literally in clouds, it’s so well decorated that I wanted to live there and catch a nap on the bed at the  landing point that is actually a teleport. There you can find my Teddy friend that’s beside me, it’s a gacha prize from C’est La Vie and you can win it in different colours with different outfits. It’s a holdable teddy but for this pic she just wanted to pose beside me, she said too many boys where going to look at her so she didn’t want to look like a baby xD

Another event going on right now is L’amitié Summer Market there you will find brands like Truth, Izzie’s, Rack Poses, Intrepid, Apple Fall and Haste. There you can find this pretty shoes from Intrepid, which come with a hud where you can change the color of the insole and the straps into 6 different pastel colours and you can also change the wedge into 4 different flowery patterns. This event will run until August 2nd. so hurry up and don’t miss all the offers available there.

Don’t forget Elikatira is having a sale right now, only 99L for each color pack, the hair band of the hair I’m wearing is customisable with the hud provided, you can not only change the color of the hair band but also the color of the studs in 14 different colours.
