Well hello there!
Welcome to my blog! I can’t quite actually believe I am doing this!
I have a VERY small Instagram page, princessluxlove, where I share my love of fashion, luxury goods, interiors, and occasionally, my two dogs! It’s my safe space, where I can be myself, and talk to like minded people, without fear of judgement, or criticism. I have had it for a little while, but only recently started to engage with it properly. That’s when I realised how much I love it. The people who comment, are genuinely lovely and happy for others to do well or succeed, that’s not something I find all too often in real life.
Here, as on Instagram, I hide behind an anonymous username. Why? Well, for a couple of reasons I guess. Firstly, confidence! I would NEVER have the confidence to do this in my own name. I’m sure I’m not the only one of us to struggle with confidence, but I would love the opportunity to engage beyond the photograph and comment section, to talk about fashion, lifestyle and luxury goods.
Secondly, fear of judgement. Liking, and owning, luxury goods, somehow seems to attract a level of judgement and criticism that is uncalled for. I work very hard, I pay for everything that I own myself, and still, I sometimes feel ashamed to have a Chanel bag over my shoulder, or that I should explain it, justify it, pretend I found it for £10 in a charity shop! Maybe that says more about me, and my feelings of self worth (I’m sure there’s quite a fortune to be spent on therapy there!), but by being anonymous, I can enjoy it.
So thank you for visiting and for reading, I can’t wait to get started, and I hope to see you here again soon!
