So in case you haven’t heard about the Vanity Fair contest, I ended up being edged out by another blogger in the final minutes. Literally in the last 20 minutes. Which I will admit was kind of heartbreaking. Yes, I am disappointed, but I refuse to be anything but a gracious loser. So congratulations to her!

I want to say a massive thank you to you guys. I wouldn’t have gotten over 6000 votes without your love and support. I am truly overwhelmed by it and so grateful by how many people stepped up to support me. I am so lucky to have that and it does not go unnoticed!

You know that expression “When it rains, it pours?” Well, it kind of does. It seems bad luck tends to run together because one little thing keeps popping up after another. Having kind of a tough few days. It’s the little things that set me off, you know? Like after that bad day, you drop your phone for the millionth time and THIS time the screen smashes? I don’t mean to complain but sometimes it feels good to get it off your chest!!

Anyways, it’s Friday and that’s a wonderful thing! I hope you all have an amazing weekend and that I do too (insert cute and cheeky emoji here).

    What in da hell? How does someone even win in the last 20 minutes? That’s crazy! I’d be disappointed too! I definitely wouldn’t be as gracious of a loser as you in that situation.

    Sorry you had a rough few days Jill. On the plus side, I find that when I have a rough few days, the next few ones are pretty okay! Hopefully it’s the same for you! 🙂

    That’s still such an amazing accomplishment (even though that’s probably not what you want to hear right now), so celebrate that! Hope you’re feeling better this week.

    I recognize that giant crane anywhere.. ps, Vancouver is so proud of you for making it that far, I feel like we still need a little more recognition in the fashion world. You’ll kill it next time!
