The one thing I love about blogging, is that it’s a constantly evolving industry and that there’s a never ending amount of things to learn about how it works and how to be successful at it! I started my blog over 4 years ago when I spent my very first summer in New York! I was living in a tiny apartment in West Harlem with 6 boys for the entire Summer! We spent the weekdays working hard but on the weekends we would explore every inch of Manhattan and something inside me said I need to share this with people and I need some way of documenting all of the amazing experiences I was having! For years, Life of a Lady Bear was a hobby for me, and still is of course, but over the past 12 months it’s become so much more than that! I think many people start a blog for many reasons like the hopes of making a lot of money, getting recognised and getting free stuff, all of which are wonderful and positive things. But I think people forget that having a blog can also be a huge benefit to your career if you want to work in digital marketing or fashion as I talked about in my career journey post! Over the years, there are a couple of things that I have learned when it comes to blogging and I wanted to share some of those lessons. In no way am I insinuating that I’m an expert or do I think I’m some big shot blogger, but maybe one or two of these tips could help you if you have a blog, or are thinking about starting one!

Happy Hump Day Guys! We’re nearly through with New York Fashion Week and what a whirlwind it’s been so far! Whenever fashion week comes around, it’s the one time of year where my stamina is really tested trying to fit in as much as possible into each day. That said there’s also been a lot of wonderful memories made so far this season (even if there was a snow storm on day 1!) Fashion Week is an occasion that always makes me really appreciate the opportunities that NYC has given me, sometimes there will be a moment when I’m backstage at a show or sitting a few feet away from someone famous and I’ll catch myself thinking is this actually real life? As stressful as the week can get sometimes, I hope I never become jaded to moments like those!   On that note, I wanted to share my fashion week essentials with you guys, all of the things that help me survive the crazy week.

Happy Friday Everyone! As I get ready to move apartments this month, I’m excited to introduce a new decor section here on Life of a Lady Bear! I’ve been doing so much research on tips for decorating an apartment and along the way have discovered so many cool home and furniture brands that I never knew about before and I can’t wait to share with you in the coming weeks! While I’m excited to get some new things to decorate with, I also feel like this is going to be the first proper home of my own and therefore I want to bring some of the traditions I grew up around with me! I think every family has it’s own traditions, one that runs in my family is collecting Spode blue plates and Lladro porcelain.

Happy Hump Day Everyone! Hard to believe we’re already half way through yet another week! Today’s outfit post is a recent favorite of mine. It’s all black of course, but I am BEYOND obsessed with my new vinyl pants that I got last month in Topshop. I know they’re a little out of the box but you know what, I’m all about trying new things and establishing my style boundaries! There’s been a lot going on lately so I thought I would mix it up a little bit today, and share 5 things that are on my mind at the moment!
