1000 Posts of Simply Luxurious Ideas

One thousand posts have been written and the journey The Simply Luxurious Life has gone through in 18 short months has taken my breath away. One of the most priceless benefits has been the lovely people, fellow bloggers and fellow lovers of simple luxury that I have met and have had the privilege of getting to know along the way. The network that exists within the blogosphere is something that continues to impress and inspire me as I see more and more women (and men as well) working together, supporting each other and helping each other strive for their individual dreams that would be impossible without a galley of help.

Since the inaugural post, a lot has changed and but many things have remained constant. While the changes have been apparent -  the addition of the daily themes, an overhaul of the template and the addition of weekly The Simply Luxurious Life newsletter that coincidentally is celebrating its one year anniversary this week as well, it has been my mission to keep at the core of what The Simply Luxurious Life is all about unchanged.  I have tried consciously to stay true to the purpose of creating this blog – to share with you, my readers, luxurious ideas in fashion, food, decor and living that are full of quality and lacking in excess, thereby, helping us all to create our individual most fulfilling life.

Always know that you can access any past post, based on its category (recipes, style & decor, inspiration & why not?, money and book reviews), from the specific toolbar tab at the top of the homepage, and if you’re looking for all of the designer collections featured for being simply luxurious, click on Style & Decor or simply click here.
