torontoShopoholic is 5 & I am giving stuff away...

Five years ago today I decided to build a website with zero (ok almost zero) experience. I don't really count my CS 200 module in University because I built something pretty crap and that was around the turn of the century (literally).

So torontoShopoholic.com is 5 today. Wow. I seriously didn't give much thought to the fact that I would still be blogging and writing about of all things shopping and style  5 years later. But here I am.

One thing I know for sure is that if people had not started catching on to what torontoShopholic is all about I wouldn't still be doing this. Yes it takes a long time to build up a blog following. Even the "overnight" sensations will tell you there is alot of largely unpaid work that goes into blogging.

Still I love it. I like having a space to share what I have to say and be creative. But I want to say Thank You. Whether you have been following for 5 years (Thanks Mom!) or 5 days, I have alot of gratitude for you following my little piece of the internet.

So I am saying Thank You in the one way I know how; with a HUGE Week Long GIVEAWAY!!!!!

  3. Awe, congrats sweetie, where does 5 years ago? Totally love your blog and looking forward to another 5 years. Hard to say what I would buy, maybe something for spring (if it ever comes)?

    1. Lol good choice. I think that is what I would do too, at least I could pretend it is spring in my house 🙂

      And than you so much! I love following your outfits too.

  4. Would love to use this towards a cute little dress for the spring, yes, I'm being hopeful that one day the snow will melt and one day I will see grass, tulips and green leaves on the tree again despite the mountains of snow out there right now, lol

    If I were to win, I'd probably put it towards another RM bag! I'm obsessed with the Leo bag!

  8. Love the sweatshirt or that patterned print shirt, red/coral with black. Looks like it would go with either jeans or a nice skirt

  9. Happy 5th Birthday! Since I'm just a newbie to blogging and learning how to style from experts like you, I would spend the money on items that YOU would recommend during our styling session. Great offer from a great blogger!
