MY FRIST BLOG OF 2023!

Welcome everyone and wishing you a very Happy & Healthy 2023…. Better late than never me thinks! My first blog of 2023 is a little longer than usual but I have much to tell!

Can you believe it’s been 3 whole years next week since the first original lockdown from Covid 19 … wow and look how far we’ve all come. To think that just like that Covid struck and during that March 2020 the fear, the loss, all shut down and indoors .

I am grateful that my business survived through it all. As I’ve told you in previous blogs, it took me personally on a journey to finally embrace my personal start of social media and reaching out to customers via the social media apps and WhatsApp groups and here we are 3 years on.

I still have much to learn but am ready.

I was away taking a break for some of January and have had plenty of time to think about moving forward and embracing even more with my business online …. I’m learning, although slowly, about social media platforms and online marketing and selling and have even decided to “go back to school” as it were, and have signed up for online courses.

I have also decided to take Paraphernalia forward and introduce 2 separate sides to the business , rather than in the past merging both our preloved and Designer brand samples “Luxe & Loved” and our onesize fits all as our “Freestyle “ range, I will be separating the two to create their own “niche” and presence both online and instore!

Therefore from March there will be 2 Instagram accounts to follow depending on your preference, Instagram if your a lover of preloved and samples of high end fashion follow “Luxe & Loved” at Paraphernalia and if your a lover of easy to wear separates or a bigger girl, like myself, then our onesize insta to follow will be “Freestyle” at Paraphernalia

Or follow both!!

Both links will be posted on our website in the next week and I’d be so grateful for you to follow us, like and share the love! Thank you!

So for this early part of spring I’m taking the opportunity , whilst the weather is still a bit chilly , to work hard to set all this up in time for the usually nice spring feel of April …

Watch this space everyone !

In the meantime , as always

Stay stylish with love
