For My Readers

Today I received terrible news that a very loyal reader of my blog lost her long fight with depression. I am still very much in shock and I just have no words to describe how I feel. I cannot imagine the pain that her family is going through but I certainly hope they find a little solace in the fact that she no longer has to endure the feelings of loneliness and emptiness that depression can bring. I have suffered my own bouts with depression and suicidal ideations so I fully understand hers and others struggles. I urge everyone to not take this illness lightly. This is very real and it is not simply something that one battling can just “get over”. It is a true illness just like any other so pretty please have compassion for those who deal with it every single day.

I have truly slacked on my consistent posts and have become an Instagram junkie. I am making a promise to my former reader (who I believe is looking down on me today) that I will make sure to continue with my transparent and fearless journal style posts. I often forget because my numbers and stats are not that high that no one is really looking at the blog. It is times like this and when I go to non fashion events and people recognize me that I am forced to realize that although small, my blog and my messages do inspire others. I am moved by oh so many people and sites that it often escapes me that others may view my little place on the web as their motivation. I know I say it alot but I truly cannot thank all of you enough for all you do to keep Comme Coco alive and flourishing! You are my superstars and I love you all!!!!!!

I will be visiting the Miami area for New Year’s and would LOVE to meet up with any readers that live in the area. Please shoot me an email or leave a comment on the blog and I will make sure to let you know exactly where I will be! I cannot wait to meet some of you 😉
