depression does not vanish just because you’re surrounded by people who love you

When Jess and I were in New York for Fashion Week in September we got a chance to visit the Hey Gorgeous headquarters/showroom. We hung out with Aimee (the president of the company who is also Canadian, holla) and Ashby (who just started her own fashion blog, and she’s adorable, so take a look). We tried on clothes including these fucking. amazing. cape dresses, and snapped a few photos. I’ve seriously never felt cuter in a dress in my whole existence. I bought it straight from the showroom. Whoops. (it’s still on the site and it also comes in navy.)

Ashby my lil Brooklyn Buddy reached out to me about a holiday promotion that they’re doing- you guys can use the code ALLIEHOLIDAY25 and get 25% off your whole order on the site! Yeee. Spoiler alert, I get store credit every time someone uses my code- I’m not the type of blogger who wants to hide things from her readers, or endorse a brand they’re not into. I’m in love with approximately 6368370 pieces and I want them all, so.

Aries: Can’t handle fighting and losing people. They act like they’re happy to let people go, but in reality they regret fighting and want those people back, they hate loosing people that mean something to them.

Taurus: Is afraid that no one actually wants them around, and that they’re easily forgotten about to the people who mean the most to them, is constantly wondering if they mean anything to anyone.

Gemini: They try so hard to fit in and be friends with everyone they change who they are themselves, but would rather change than be alone, because being alone is extremely scary to them.

Cancer: Tries to act happy all the time. They feel like if they let others see them upset, they’re disappointing them. Needs to make sure everyone around them doesn’t worry about them, no matter what the cost.

Leo: Believes they are unlovable and that everything that goes wrong is their fault. They try to act tough and like they don’t care, but deep inside, they are probably the most sensitive person you will ever Meet.

Virgo: Has trouble handling life. They may seem like they have everything under control and in order, but in reality they have trouble making it every hour of the day. It’s hard for them to stay positive.

Libra: Can’t be without a lover because they need to invest time in others so they don’t have to focus on themselves. Hates having to deal with their own problems so they hide them and pretend everything is fine.

Scorpio: Is scared of getting close to people. They love being trusted by others but have a hard time trusting others. Are afraid one day this will push everyone away but they don’t know how to fix it.

Sagittarius: Wants only love and to be loved. When they aren’t with someone, they start to feel hopeless and like they aren’t good enough for anyone.

Capricorn: Invests themselves in trying to get to the top, so they tend to not have deep connections with anyone. They’re afraid because of this that they’ll be alone forever.
