It's been almost two months since my last post, and to be honest I wasn't really sure what to write. A lot has happened and I didn't want to jump straight back into blogging without explaining my absence and lack of any response to all your kind messages and e-mails. The last couple of months have been really difficult, not only have I had to deal with the heartbreak of loosing my boyfriend, I've also lost my home, suffered a very nasty stomach ulcer and to top it off I'm in the process of being made redundant.
So far I've not really spent much time thinking about the future or even where I'll be living at the end of the month and have been trying to enjoy being single, meeting lots of new people and catching up with old friends, I've had more nights out than I can remember, attended a few random house parties, and suffered many many terrible hangovers.
However, time has flown by and I need to think seriously about what I want. I think all of these things happening at the same time has finally given me the kick up the backside I've needed for a long time. Don't get me wrong I was very happy with my life as it was and was looking forward to the future and settling down with the man I loved, but that's not going to happen now and while these past two months have been incredibly hard, they've also given me a fresh start.
I've always wanted to travel and see the world, but because I've always been in a relationship or had a steady job it never seemed like the right time. Now I have nothing keeping me here and should have enough money from the redundancy to see a bit more of the world and I'm even contemplating University or investing some of the money in some vintage stock for my online shop.
I'm trying to see the positives in this whole awful situation. I have lots of decisions to make during the next few months and I'd love to hear your advice, thoughts or experiences of similar situations.
I know I've been away for a while and I've lost some followers, but I promise I'll be back soon with a fashion related post, and I can't wait to catch up on all my favourite blogs.

looking forward to your future posts!
Welcome back and looking forward to your fashion posts.
It's nice to see you posting again, not sure I have any advice but it sounds like you're trying to be positive and I'm sure everything will work out for you and there will be exciting times ahead!
Yay! I've missed your posts! Sorry to hear the last few months have been so horrible :( I've just left uni and am looking for a job so kind of the same thing...I'm thinking about just getting away from it all too (but then I don't think the weather helps!)

welcome back Victoria! Sometimes after all the, urm, crap that's happening it's sometimes better to start afresh. Even I'm finding it hard to find an afternoon job that I'm now considering to stop that heartache and start to concentrate on blogging along with joining social classes! :)
Can't wait for your new posts!

It's lovely to see you back :)
Sorry to hear you've been having such a hard time of late - it's really refreshing to hear your positive attitude towards it all.
I have no advice I'm afraid, mainly because I'm pretty rubbish & if anything bad happens I just want to moan (which is why I'm so envious that you're making yourself see the positive sides to it all).. I wish you the best of luck though, in making all these difficult decisions. I have faith you'll work it all out :)

You know I'm wishing you all the very best in whatever decisions you end up making hun. Things might seem shit at the moment but they'll turn out well, I know it. Just think of all the possibilities!
Bloody hell, you have been through the mill! I'm glad you're back blogging, I've always enjoyed reading your posts. My sister has been through very similar experiences to you in a short space of time and its a lot to deal with. Just do as you are doing be positive and see these experiences as a way to open the door to the life and career that you should be living xx
Love you Victoria ♥ x
Welcome back, lovely. xxx
welcome back darling. You have been through a lot but you are still there, fighting and contemplating the future with inquisitive eyes, which not everyone can do, so good for you. Have missed you and thought of you xxxx
Oh I am sorry to heard you've had a tough time of it lately! I did miss your blog posts - I hope things start to go your way xoxox
welcome back!
Welcome back!
I'm sorry to hear that you're having a stressful time at the moment, life can be very challanging but good on you for having such a positive outlook!!
About this time last year I went through a similar stage in my life and at the time it seemed like everything I'd worked for had been for nothing and that I had no future - it took my what felt like forever to find my feet again but I got there and I'm much stronger & happier now because of it.
Without lows we can't appreciate the highs.
Chin up love, hang in there - everything will work out xox
Welcome back,it sounds like you have your head screwed on and have made the best of a bad situation

It's good to see you back lovely. Breakups are tough, and all the more so when you have been living with the person. I hope this new opportunity for adventures works out for you! xx
It's great to see you back Victoria! So sorry to hear about all the tough things you've had to go through whilst you've been away from your blog, hope you're doing okay. Sounds like you have a few exciting things to start planning - best of luck with it all, you definitely deserve lots of happiness :) xx
I'm glad you are back, sorry about the awful things that happened recently.

VICTORIA, seems like we are both in a very tough spot.
At a point where decisions, life changing ones, have to take place.
AND in my case I don't want to make them.
I want to close my eyes and go back to the make believe world I had lived in for too long---- I wish you the very best. It will all pass. I know it doesnt happen fast enough but it will pass.
