It's my birthday today. Not just any birthday but my 21st. Ah yes, years I have waited for the moment where I would be able to walk into a bar and order myself a drink...legally. I've thrown away my fake I.D and have replaced it with a legal and legit one. Not only is 21 an age where I can drink but it means no longer can I rely on good ole mommy to bail me out of trouble when needed. Although lately, I've been being pretty good.
        I'm now responsible for myself and every action I do. Even though I feel as though I've been pretty wise and mature for my age so far. But in light of this special occasion I must give thanks to where gradtitude is due. I must give thanks to every single person that took part in rasing me and getting me to this moment of my life.
        With my mom being a single mom, growing up wasn't always a fairytale. Not to say it wasn't memorable because some of my best moments are when I was little. It's just with my mom having to work two jobs, nights were mainly spent with family and friends. But it taught me to be independent and opened my eyes to how the world really was. With that being said, I think that that whole expereicne has made me into the woman I am today.
         Woud I have loved to have had a childhood where my mom was around and actually made to my chior concerts, sure but sometimes life doesn't always work out the way you want it. I had to learn that at the tender age of 10 and I'm thankful I did. I think that it makes me appreciate the things in my life a whole lot more. It also makes me not take things for granted.
         I have a great job, great friends, and amaing family memebers. I'm 100 percent blessed. So to wrap this post up I would just like to thank every single person who took part in rasing me. It has taken me a long time to get to this place. Give or take a few bumps in the road. So as I take the next steps in my life I feel as though I walk with a certain swagger. Yes, I said swagger.
         This is because I'm so happy that I have finally gotten to the place in my life where I want to be. And it's all because I had the best support system anyone could ask for.

Hello Everyone!
I'd like to start by saying that this moment has taken me forever. It's not that there was a lot of work involed in creating this blog. No blood or sweat (well maybe a little sweat due to the fact that I was on a run prior to this post). I guess the real reason why this moment has taken forever was because I was just plain lazy.
Hey, it happens! But that's still no excuse. So finally I bring to you the relase of my brand new blog, The Gaiety Girl. The story behind the name is that it comes from a play that was from the 1920's. If you know me (it's okay if you don't, pleanty of time for that) you would know I'm a huge fan of the 20's. Glitz, glamour, flapper dresses; just the mention of the 20's makes my heart flutter. The roaring 20's, as they called it were such an elegant time in history.  F. Scott Fitzgerald, Coco Chanel, and Picaso all played major parts in the 20's.
Anyways, as I shut the door on my previous blogs, I reopen a new and much improved one. This blog will not only consist of fashion but also travel, food, music, and film. Basically everything culture related. Although I'll miss Turffles, It was time to say farewell and press the delete button. My heart wasn't fully in it and I just needed to start over. With this blog I'll make sure to update almost every day and devote my time entirely. Plus, I'm in a completely different place in my life right now where I feel that I'll be able to take this on.
With that said I hope that you guys read my posts daily and also keep in touch with me through Twitter. Also feel free to send me ideas you might have or any trends you're loving at the moment. I always love to hear what other people are loving. I hope you all have a wonderful and try to stay cool!

Yours,
Sandra Rose :)
