Featured: Off to Join the Gypsies

I'm Off to Join the Gypsies!

Having a nomadic and free spirit, I'm always filled with wanderlust and a desire to adventure. My curiosity to explore new places, try new food, visit different cafes, and to experiment with different fashion styles or looks, ignites a fire within. Living in this time of millennials, there is a craft in sharing and documenting memories, moments, outfit looks, art, and other creative things. It has become so easy to find a sense of community online and to connect with others over the web or social media on the things you're passionate about.

I am so happy and grateful to have met a fellow blogger who shares the same passions, interests, dreams, aspirations, and goals. Not only has she become one of my closest friends, she is a kindred spirit who is also sparked by fashion and blogging. It was such a pleasure meeting and getting to know this rock star. I knew I wanted to do a Q&A interview with her about her life story and share all the lovely qualities I discovered about her, with all of you! Demi's Q&A interview and more pictures of her from the photo shoot, can be found in the 'zine. At our hang out, we took turns photographing each other. I had so much fun walking around Pioneer with her and taking in Seattle's historic architecture. The other photos she took of me will also be included in the 'zine. Look for the release of the 'zine around the beginning of August!

Love you all, and I'll keep you guys posted!

Still Going

It's been a little more than a year since I have decided to be a blogger. At first, it was just a personal Tumblr blog that I had created at the age of 17 for the rantings of a teen going through teenager stuff and needing a safe place to vent. Later on at 19, I decided to create a more appealing personal diary in the form of a personal blog. I had changed my Instagram username from my more private and personal Tumblr username handle to a more catchier and marketable name that still represented who I was/am as a person. I had chose to use my original "Sonder Wonder" name from the actual name of my personal Tumblr blog page, (not the username handle which is different from the blog page title) and use it for my Instagram to go hand in hand with this blog. 

Fast forward another two years, and I had never thought that I would continue this route and officially be called a "blogger," where people knew me by my blog and Instagram name and not by my actual name. I was lucky to have won a couple of contests over the course of two years, including the major Sorel Style contest, where I had the amazing opportunity of being flown out to New York with my best friend for a complimentary shopping spree in Soho and got to meet the talented costume designer and HBO Girl's show stylist, Jenn Rogien. I also had one of my pictures on a print ad in the Seattle Magazine for The Bellevue Collection and for a certain period of time, had the same picture shown and advertised on a TV slideshow inside Bellevue Square mall as a city influencer. Even now, everything seems a bit surreal. Some have heard of me, but I'm still a nobody. People might have come across my profile, blog, Facebook page, and account at a glance or have seen me randomly at a Seattle bloggers' event, not knowing why or what I was doing there. 

Yet, I'm still going. Who knows where? I don't even know. But I'm still moving forwards, trying harder and harder, to reach those new heights and to chase what I want. I've gone to some recent fashion and blogger events, which I've created posts for via my Facebook page or Instagram. I'm still working on my major personal project, which I hope to release in early 2018. Other than that, I've been going to multiple music concerts but will keep creating content and shooting outfit pictures for my social media platforms. 

Although these setbacks could discourage me from trying to continue in the blogging world, at least the blog is true to its name. Some might have heard of me, but I'm still unknown. I "might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk." Regardless, I'm going to live out my complex life as vividly as I can. My personal journey is full of my ambitions, my friends, my habits, my struggles, and my adventures as some sort of crazy, epic story that I'm willing and wanting to share with those who are curious and wonder. 

I'll see you guys again before the new year! Keep in touch. <3
