Dear readers,
I have decided to drop you all a line to communicate that I am going to stop writing this blog for at least a while.
We are moving again at the end of the month, this time to Copenhagen. I have lived in four different countries in the last three years and although it probably sounds very glamorous, the truth is that it is exhausting. Life in Paris has been quite stressful (read also "very expensive indeed") and French bureaucracy Kafkaesque. The city is indeed lovely beyond description, but not a sane place to live.
I have endeavoured to write the blog in an informative and rigorous way, keeping it as far as possible from the overwhelming majority of the messages aimed at women nowadays. I have been fortunate enough to come in contact with some lovely ladies whose comments and communication I have enjoyed immensely.
When things have quieted down I would like very much to return to writing for the blog, but I have no idea about when that will be.
Love to all,
Caroline
Caroline,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that though I understand why you are saying goodbye (we have also moved as often, and it is incredibly tiring) I do wish to tell you that I really enjoyed reading your posts and I will miss them. Best of luck in Copenhagen!
Ana
Thanks Ana! Maybe when things quiet down I'll start posting again. I really really want to settle down and enjoy some stability.
DeleteHugs,
Caroline
I rarely comment on blogs but I would often check yours. Your posts are meticulous in their detail. I always found something useful and relevant to what I was searching for!
ReplyDeleteGood luck!
Thanks for your comment, you have made me smile today. Maybe you should consider commenting more often ;)
DeleteHugs,
Caroline
Caroline - I will miss you! Thank you for your fabulous advice and great visuals. Best of luck for the future xx
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteDear Caroline - Thank you for the lovely blog. I really enjoyed your suggestions for women of all ages from looks to makeup choices. This is one of the handful of blogs I follow and I'm sorry to hear this news. I have also done the moving between countries before and it is exhausting! I wish you and your family best of luck in Cophenhagen. Cheers. x
ReplyDeleteDear Athena,
DeleteWell, if comments like yours keep coming, I may reconsider writing again ;) Thanks so much for getting in touch, it really makes a difference.
Hugs,
Caroline
Thank you for your posts which as others have said have been detailed, informative and insightful.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes and I do hope you return to blogging in the future.
Thanks for commenting, you're a darling. I hope I will come back too... Let's see what the future brings.
DeleteHugs,
Caroline
I really want to thank you for your time and effort you spent for this really great blog. You will be missed out here. Your private time is indeed more important to be loved and cared for, but perhaps you miss writing some day again. I hope so ;). Best wishes for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your comment, Nicole, it is very nice to be appreciated. This is a very stressful moment for me, and there have been lots in the last year. If settling down in Copenhagen does not prove to be difficult (I rather see it as returning home, although it's not Sweden), I'm hopeful about the future. At least today ;).
DeleteHugs,
Caroline
Hello Caroline,
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say that you WILL be missed. I'm sure there are so many people out there (like myself) who read and love your blog but have never commented or dropped you a line. I totally understand and hope that you will find some relaxation and new inspiration in your new location.
Thank you also for sharing the reality of living in Paris - seems so glamorous - now I don't need to be so envious of those who do get the chance! I hope you will keep this blog open/online. I refer to it often, I think your season color analysis/example pages are some of the BEST out there (and I've looked at a lot!)
For what it's worth, I have not minded or even noticed that you don't share personal information - I too am a private person, but I know it can be tough to maintain a blog and come up with new content while always keeping things separate. You have done so beautifully. Thank you for sharing your expertise and insights with us.
Best to you and your family.
Hello Lisa,
DeleteThank you for your nice, thoughtful comment. I really really appreciate it. Let's see what the future brings... Yesterday the movers came but we still have another ten days here. I'll try to go up the Eiffel Tower and visit the Musée d'Orsay to see if I can gather some nice memories these last few days. I haven't shared anything about the city because I'm afraid it's not going to be nice... at least, not yet ;)
Hugs,
Caroline
You'll be missed, and please live your life, internet is just for our personal references, there's more important things like sanity!
ReplyDeleteBut I'll keep coming back to check your blog, so , please, don't close it.
Thanks for sharing your info, is a breath of fresh air in a sufocated world of fashion. Words from an elegant woman stay for ever.
Jael
Thanks for your comment, Jael, I appreciate it very much. I am really happy the blog keeps helping people.
DeleteMaybe I'll come back to it when I am rested, it's hard to renounce having your voice heard ;)
Hugs,
Caroline
Hi Caroline,
ReplyDeleteFrom my side as well, I will really miss your posts, but completely understand your motives... I know from experience, when parts are moving in your life you need to make choices and prioritize. Too bad your blog suffers from it ;)
Anyway, don't forget us if you start again, and let us know if you have good tips on alternative blogs you follow and think could be helpful.
Big hugs and best of luck!
Cheers, Andy
Caroline,
ReplyDeleteYou are an amazing woman! You inspire many with your wisdom. While I understand completely how overwhelming moving and life in general can be, I must offer advice and tell you if I may, that you have a gift and you should continue to nurture your gift which comes natural to you. I stumbled upon your blog but when I read your statement of purpose I was elated. It is rare that I find a gem that is in you and in your writing. Do not take that away from the young women who will read your blogs and understand the deeper meaning and value of the self, fashion, self confidence and choices. I know and you know that you have so much more to say to the world. Take your time that you need away but do not silence that voice you have inside, it is a powerful one and a refreshing one. Again, you are amazing. Chin up and hope to read your blog soon. God Bless and stay inspired.

I just discovered your blog from a link on another blog that referenced your Warm Spring posts, and I found them PERFECT for my coloring. I really need to find a dress in one of my brighter colors! I'm sorry to learn that you are no longer blogging here, but I've bookmarked your site for future reference and so that I'll know if you decide to resume blogging. Best wishes, and I hope your new location is suiting you well!
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to hear from you again soon. Please don't stop writing! :D
