Quick Note To Aficionadas :)

I would like to quickly say that I am very grateful for all the positive comments I have received over the past two days- "thank you so much!"

The day off yesterday was much needed (although I can't tell you how many times I wanted to check on the blog during the day!) ;)

Ultimately, I am going to continue with the J.Crew Aficionada blog. There also may be a few changes coming up, (as I am still deciding what to do on a few issues) but I am hoping that any changes made will be for the best. :)

Lastly, I have lots of messages in my inbox to go through, so please forgive me for any delay in responding (which I do plan to do). :) Again, thank you to everyone!

    Alexis, this is wonderful news. Once again your blog will be part of my morning routine. Coffee from Strabucks and then reading your blog before heading to J.Crew.

    Thanks so much.

    Welcome back, Alexis!

    I've been quite busy the past week (trying to move into a new house that's under remodel), so I missed some posts and reading comments. Couldn't believe the drama that went on here! So glad you are back. We all need a mental health day once in a while (some more often than others ;-)).

    P.S. jcrew guy - I'm drinking my Starbucks and checking my blogs now, too!

    Hey, Alexis! I saw your post yesterday (about taking a break) and wanted to comment but was hesitant since there were so many already. I didn't want to inundate your inbox (like I am now, heehee!).

    I am so glad, though, that you have made your decision to stay with the blog. You and your blog have become a part of so many of our daily routines, and your announcement saddened us. I totally agree with jcrew guy in canada, coffee, your blog and then off to J.Crew. *sigh* If only life were so easy...

    =)

    Thanks again for the blog, Leigh!

    Now we know how passionate you really are about your blog!!!!! :)

    I am soooo glad you're back- I don't pay attention to negative comments at all because this is a fashion blog. I think you should try to do the same, they really aren't a big deal IMO :)

    Welcome back to your own blog ;)

    Thanks for coming back to provide this JCrew oasis for us :))

    I am glad you are sticking around! This is a great place and so many people love it. I know it's easier said than done but try to ignore all the negativity if it happens again. I look at several other boards/blogs (for makeup) and that kind of stuff happens there too, unfortunately.

    so, so happy that you've decided to continue, alexis! so many of us enjoy this blog and would never dream of saying something negative -- we just enjoy talking about beautiful clothes. we know it's hard, but we hope you can try to put aside the negative comments, which are drastically outnumbered by positive ones from all of us fans!

    Alexis, I am glad that your time away was enough to bring you back to your blog. It would have been unfortunate for you to have been reduced to pulling the blog because your followers couldn't play nicely! Not everyone can or will play nice, but ending the blog would have given those vocal folks all the power. It is your blog and your power - so exercise it as you see fit! :-)

    I have high hopes that J.Crew Aficionada will resume its place at the start of my day and my mental health breaks during my workday!

    Welcome Back! :-)

    That's wonderful news Alexis! I do think it is healthy to step away from projects (blogging or otherwise) to recharge, rest, and regain momentum.

    Your blog is one of my first reads every morning!
