JUST THE BEGINNING

To be honest I've been trying to write this post for hours now and each time it seems to be getting harder and harder. I don't know where to begin or how to word it, plus my brain seems to be slowing down the later it gets so I want to try and keep this short and sweet. As of tomorrow you'll notice a few changes on my blog, as I've joined an exciting new blogging network called FELLT. This has been in the works for nearly six months now and to think it's finally here is making my head spin with emotions and my heart race with excitement.

For those who have followed me from the very beginning you'll understand how important my online vintage store is to me. It's where I began, it's my full-time job, it's what I love and it's my baby. As my blog has grown I've really struggled to juggle both my business and my blog, two worlds that both require so much time, energy and love to fully function the way I would like them to. The result has been three exciting months of blogging and collaborations but also three painful months of not being able to update my store at all, which has never, ever happened before. Being represented by FELLT not only means I'll be alongside seven of the best Australian bloggers on one powerful network, but I'll also have someone to help manage exciting new projects and collaborations when I don't have the time to manage myself. This is not only going to take my blog to a whole new level but it will allow me to get back to my work and what I love doing - building my brand and expanding at a rapid pace. I am so happy and grateful I have you all with me for this, and I am beyond excited to see where this new path will take us. It seems the journey is only just beginning and I hope this is the start of bigger and better things. You'll all be redirected automatically so no need to worry either! I still need to figure out my custom url but for now you can find me here and bookmark: fellt.com/garypepper.

STORE ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Just a quick little update on the store, which I probably should have done months ago. I'll be holding a summer clearance stall at Terrigal Markets this Sunday from 8am - 1pm, so if you're around be sure to pop down and say hello. I have about 200+ dresses, tops, skirts etc all reduced with nothing over $10!

I've also finally made the decision to hire new models for the store. This has been a long time coming and to be honest I've put it off for as long as I can, but now it's at the point where myself and my store both can't move forward if I'm constantly needed in front of the lens. I'm sure you've all noticed how I haven't had a chance to frequently update the store as much as I did when I first started Gary Pepper, which is something I never thought would happen. My business has always been my first priority but for the past 6 months it seems my blog has been taking first place. I'm after size 8-10 and 12-14 models so please send your portfolios to info@garypeppervintage.com.

Lastly, I'm on the look out for new up and coming designers to carry in the store, as well as a talented graphic design intern. If you're interested or know anybody please send them my way!
