"I'm usually very miserable, so I reward myself with a fur coat every year." - DK

R.I.P. Daul Kim

I used to read Iliketoforkmyself. It's sad. Daul was only 20 and decided to end with her life. I really don't know what to say because nothing anyone can say will make it any better. I just hope she is in a better place now. I knew her only from her blog and through her work. I will miss how she was so very open about her feelings and put every thought in her head out there. She was truly inspiring by being herself without trying to please anyone.

I really liked her and what she wrote, she wrote about happy times and about the sad  ones, as well  That was very refreshing because most fashion blogs are all about ''coveting'' items and being ''inspired'' by the latest it-designer, but if we dare to post about feeling crappy we would probably lose about half of our readers. We aren't going to walk around crying and whinning either, it's true; but we are human and we also feel alone and needy from time to time. Sometimes we openly cry for help and no one notices and I just think that is wrong.

This whole thing makes me think about life and how it is so fragile. Also on how we cannot act as if we were islands. We need each other. We need to know when to ask for help. You don't have to go through tough times by yourself, really, you don't. Don't give in to those negative thoughts. The only way out is through. You need to fight and keep on fighting. If you feel sad or depressed, please don't give up. It's not over until it's over..

Welcome Bienvenue Willkommen Välkommen Bienvenidos

This is probably my third attempt at having a blog here on blogspot. I will do my best to update regularly and keep up with this blog this time. I hope we can share thoughts and opinions on fashion, cinema and literature and I do hope you enjoy my writing as well. 

If you have stumbled upon Agosto12, chances are you know me from Chictopia or Tumblr and to some extent are familiar with me. For those of you who are new, hello there, my name is Marjorie and I am currently a third year marketing and international bussiness major at UNITEC Honduras. I am very clumsy, talkative and awkward person in real life. I spend way too much time on the internet, mainly on Tumblr, Facebook and other blogs; and would rather save for a year for an authentic Prada bag than buy a knock-off. I am always willing to help anyone who has a question so don't be afraid to shoot me an email.

Having said this, Welcome to Agosto12!

I look forward to getting to know you all better. =)
