A NEW YEAR, SAME DREAMS & AND A NEW LOOK. (AN INTRO TO INSIGHTS) — East & West post - East & West

With every new year comes the chance to start anew in every aspect of our lives. We may use this time to make big changes whether they be personal or professional, or we may simply make a vow to ourselves to do better this year than we did the year before.

For the last three years, East & West has given me a platform to chronicle the evolution of my personal style and cover the runway shows of my favorite designers from across Asia and beyond. As much as I have enjoyed sharing all of this with you, I feel I still have so much more I want to show, so much more I want to do and so much more I want to say with this site.

That being said I decided to step up my game this year and give East & West a whole new life by enlisting the help of designstaq (the company that created this website) to give East & West a new look and introduce a new section of the site titled "Insights". From the beginning of this year readers will be able to get exclusive insights into fashion, lifestyle, travel and beauty content created by me and a wide range of content contributors who are experts in these fields. Insights will also be home to an interviews category which aims to give readers a deeper understanding of a figure they admire or an aspect of the fashion industry they are curious about (i.e the importance of exclusive lunar new year collections in the South East Asian fashion industry). My goal is to have the insights section become a place where readers can learn and be inspired.

Words cannot describe how excited I am to begin pushing out the wonderful content I have planned for you this year ( there may even be a youtube channel in the works ) and am looking forward to having each and every one of you grow with me in this new chapter of my journey.

Happy New Year

Love

Jourdie

P.S I would also like to give big thanks to The Embassy of Finland in Washington D.C for allowing me to use your lovely terrace for this shoot
