Today marks 8 years since I first launched Trends and Tolstoy. It’s been another incredible year of exploring new cities, reading new books, and working with exciting new brands. I started this site as a way to keep track of my outfits, but it’s grown into so much more.
It’s been incredibly helpful to have my own outlet where I can share my own stories during these past 8 years. Since I write for a living it’s nice to have a place I can create stories (both photographic and editorial) for that doesn’t require an editor, a brand guide, newspaper columns, or a second opinion. It just requires me. Having that balance is an important way for me to keep writing fun rather than it turning into just work.
Thank you all so much for your ongoing support! I look forward to another 8 years of adventures together.

Congratulations! I originally found your blog while looking for the North Beach Leather dress you wore a while back. I have the same dress but in black as well! I loved how you styled it. Started going through your blog and loved how your style and travel went hand in hand! Keep it up! Its a great blog!!!
