First of all, I want to say a HUGE thank you to everyone who purchased a bag from Collection III of The Second-Hand Bag Drop. There are a few pieces still up for grabs here. I was blown away by the response and am forever grateful for your continued support.


I recently made the decision to come back to Instagram after a year and a half break. I appreciate this in itself isn’t by any means newsworthy, but it’s still something that has brought up a lot for me. While i’m doing things differently this time around, I can’t help but feel this undeniable pull to delete past posts, parts of myself that once existed and thought a certain way, but doing that feels like hiding the truth. I’m all for new beginnings, and multiple chapters, but I don’t want to shame my past self. She was learning, growing, and it was messy. It still is.

We are constantly evolving as human beings. While some feelings get stronger and we gravitate with more conviction towards certain thoughts and beliefs, there are others we let go of, or that move to the back row of our minds instead of the front. And sometimes, they’re just in a timeout!
