It is hard for me to fathom that this time last year, Pearls and Poodles was but a seedling of inspiration nestled deep within my imagination, eager to sprout into the blogging world. Yet, watered with words and nurtured with dedication, Pearls and Poodles has flourished into something I am immensely proud of, and has given me more pleasure, and reason for procrastination, than I ever thought imaginable.

I never wished to pigeon-hole my blog into a particular ilk. I used to read acclaimed beauty blogs offering in depth beauty reviews and information, which I knew I couldn't, and never wished to, emulate. Equally, I poured over fashion blogs with utmost esteem, but knew I could never feed my love for writing by fashion alone. Hence why Pearls and Poodles has become what it is today. A whimsical wonderland laced with the beautiful unnecessaries in life. I wanted to take any subject, however trivial and inconsequential, and charm it with words.

I feel so much has happen over the past year, I would find it troublesome to recount it all. I am not ncessarily referring to the events I have attended, but moreover the people I have met (see my “the joys of blogging” page) and the experiences I have had. My trip to New York with Sophie would feature extremely highly on that list.

Many would ask if I expected so much enjoyment and development to come from one little space on the internet. Well quite frankly no. I don’t think you can begin writing a blog with expectations, as they would simply conflict with your true reasons for blogging. You just have to venture onto your journey with a head brimming with ideas and a passion for creating something personal and reflective of you.


So, this is really a little passage to thank you all for following and supporting my blog, and sharing this world with me; a place that would be rather echoey without you.  I shall be holding a giveaway to mark a year gone by and to act as a celebratory gesture and a thank you to you all. So stay tuned for that.
