“I’d Rather Have Burberry Than Babies”

This is the sarcastic remark I would say anytime someone asked me the question, “When will you have a baby?” That question comes up more and more the older I get. Do I believe a designer item is more important than a child? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I hold people that choose to have children and give their all to them in the utmost regard. Will I have children? Never say never. The remark was a way to shock people out of asking a question that is evasive. It also demonstrates (though that was not my intention) my love of fashion.

Who I am? I am a thirty-something married woman living in NYC. My routine is somewhat ordinary- wake up, go to gym, go to work, come home and hang with the hubby (or happy hour with my friends), sleep, and repeat. Throw in a night out and a vacation here and there and that’s my routine. What do I do in my in-between time? Like most, I scroll through my social media feeds, browse the entertainment and fashion sites, and then start my hunt for an item I saw on these mediums at bargain prices as the full price is way above my pay grade.

Like most I tend to binge watch TV shows or read a book when I have a day off. What kind of books and shows? Typically ANYTHING with somewhat of a historical context. I always loved history and getting a glimpse into the past. One of my life motto’s is, “Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”

So where did I get the idea for this blog? I have my husband to thank for that. I was going through a transitional period and unsure of what to do next. He told me to make a list of what makes me happy and start there. What were the first two items I wrote? You guessed it- Fashion and History. How can I combine the 2? I decided to start writing to discover more about 2 things I enjoy and hopefully pass that enjoyment to others.

Fashion + History= Fashion HerStory.

I hope you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it!
