Welcome a New Year… in Style.
2024 illuminated a lot for me personally. I grew up in a small town in Ireland, one that did not often celebrate individuality. It took me until this year to fully embrace my own.
It wasn’t easy as a child / teen who liked to express herself through fashion and I was often mocked for it. I was drawn to things that were a bit out of the box and for a long time, I had trouble owning my uniqueness.
This year was transformative for me. I lost my Father and truly realized that there is no time to waste. No time to waste on being a version of yourself that you dont truly align with. No time for friends who aren’t filling your cup, no time for relationships that cause more anxiety than peace. Not everyone wants the best for you, and that's a hard but important truth. On the other hand, the right people will move mountains for you and love you fiercely, standing by your side through every challenge and triumph.
I started Styld by Susie as a creative outlet and offering but the truth is, it’s about so much more. I am committed to helping people find their authentic selves through fashion and beauty, I know these things can sometimes be dismissed as silly or surface but in fact they are not. Find those people and cherish them with everything you have,they are rare, and their love is priceless. Even having just one of these people in your life makes you incredibly lucky, they’re a true treasure.
I am living proof they are not. Someone who has suffered from a racing mind or low days, someone who is often misunderstood or cast in a role that I actually do not identify with. Style is absolutely crucial in the healing process, in my opinion. Style is your unique language, one that people may appreciate or not. What matters most though is that we feel strong and are able to stand tall, that is the power of personal style.
Let 2025 be the year you are unapologetically you, from the inside out.
2024 lessons and wisdom I will carry with me forever.
1. I've discovered so much about who I truly am.
2. I am deeply sensitive to the energy of people and my environment.
3.Being in a stagnant place drains my spirit and stifles my growth.
4. Surrounding myself with stagnant people feels like a part of my soul begins to wither.
5.I thrive in dynamic, inspiring, and uplifting spaces.
6. Growth, movement, and meaningful connections are essential to my well-being.
7. Not everyone wants the best for you
8. Surrounding yourself with the right people and placing yourself in the right environment are fundamental to thriving and achieving success in life. The company you keep and the spaces you occupy shape your mindset, influence your growth, and ultimately determine how far you can go.
I hope we can work together soon! xx Susie
