Yay!! It’s my Blogiversary!!!! Yep, exactly one year ago today I posted my very first post to this blog. It’s kinda hard to believe to be honest with you. I mean, in some ways, it seems like I’ve been doing this forever (probably because I love it so much and it’s become such a great part of my life) but in other ways it seems like just yesterday that I started on this journey.
If you’ve been a Kenya L’er since the start, then you know I initially started the blog as a way to chronicle my dream of developing a collection of fashion blazers for women. I did in fact develop that collection and while the blazers have not been as successful as I would have hoped (or at all really 😦 ), I’m okay with that, because that journey ultimately helped me find my way here – to what I know now is my real passion – fashion blogging!
I love blogging so much and I love our community. There is nothing like it! I’m so amazed by how much I have grown, how much the blog has grown and how many great people I have met over this past year. You know, I took a moment to look back at some of my first posts the other day and I had to shake my head at the quality of some of the photos and posts then. But again, that’s what I love about this — I’ve had a chance to learn so much from many of you and to be inspired by you to push myself even more.
The blog would not be what it is today if it weren’t for all of you… my fantastic and loyal followers and my wonderful blogging friends! Thanks to each and every one of you! I love you guys! Here’s to another FANTABULOUS year!!!
What I’m Wearing: Zara Dress, Vince Camuto Spiked Heels, Express Leopard Clutch, Kate Spade Sunnies, Erica Lyons Necklace
Where Am I: Uptown Charlotte

Happy Blogaversary! Making it to that one year mark is the greatest feeling and accomplishment at a blogger. So many people get burnt out and throw in the towel before a year is even up. Looking forward to more posts from you. And who knows maybe we’ll bump into each other somewhere here in the QC.
Thanks!!! This milestone certainly feels good and absolutely hopefully we will meet up here one day soon! I’ve been looking for fellow QC bloggers!!! 🙂
