Goodbye London!

After six years living in England I am on one way flight back to the United States, eek! This move been in the works for months, in fact years, and today is the day. Goodbye London! Why I have I not mentioned this until today? There are many, many reasons but to put it simply, I have been busy.

To put it into context I used to post on Sparkles and Shoes six days a week. Then after a few years, dropped down to five times – every weekend. In the last year, it has been more like a few times a month rather than a few a week. The same thing applies to social media – I used to be obsessed with my Instagram grid, on one day posting a photo of me and the next, a non-me photo, and it was like this for years. Now? I can not remember the last time I posted 10 times in a single month and I go days at a time without even posting on stories.

Being a mum is tricky and priorities shift, however, I often miss Sparkles and Shoes. The thing most people don’t understand, posting takes a TON of time to pout together, even if it is just a fashion collage. But now let’s get back on topic:

Goodbye London and hello Upper West East Siders! After university I lived in a handful of New York City neighbourhoods – Stuytown, Greenpoint, and the Upper East Side – but once we land my next chapter will start in a new area of the city, the Upper West Side. I am excited to begin this next CHAPTER of my life with Lily and Mark and experience the city in a whole new way – a single girl in my 20’s is very different then a working mum in my 30’s.

Stay tuned for what’s next and until then, let me know if you have any questions in the comments!
