i launched an online clothing store!
After months and months of hinting on what I was working on, I can finally talk about it. Yesterday, we officially launched an online clothing store. It was a lot of work, planning, and time, but we finally felt the most prepared we were ever going to feel and did it!
It's something I'm super proud of. Me and my sister are both the owners of the company, and I can't wait to see where this chapter is going to lead us.
We've gotten nothing but kind comments over the last two days, and it has made my heart beyond happy.
The name of the store is Lost in Aster. A lot of people asked me what the name of the company means, and it's actually not as deep as some would think. Asters are flowers that kind of look like daisies! So when you break it down, it literally means lost in flowers. My sister came up with the name, and we're both obsessed.
As of now, We have 11 pieces. A mixture of tops, bottoms, and dresses. It took us a long time to choose which pieces would be the ones we release for our store opening, but we finally settled on these pieces.
The clothes we chose are a mix of me & my sister's style. Those who know us in real life, look at the clothes and can see both of us in the collection.
We are planning to try to release at least two pieces a week, which is actually much harder than you would think. We really want the pieces to be unique, and something you might have not seen in other stores.
We already have the next 4 pieces for our collection almost ready for release, so keep an eye out for that!
I've been so happy to see all my friends and family being nothing but loving and supportive.
Two of my best friends modeled all the clothing beside me and my sister, and it meant the world to me. They look stunning in the clothes.
I don't really know what else to say other than the fact that I'm so excited! If you want to follow and support us you can check out our website here, and also check out our instagram here!
If any of you decide to check out the clothes, I hope you love it! If you have any questions, definitely don't hesitate to either leave a comment of shoot me a private message.
Sending you love, strength, and positivity.

Loove the font of your shop's logo. Also, the Not So Clueless Dress is really niiiice ^^
Thank you so much! It took me and my sister ages to decide on what font to choose! We had about 15 different options, and the moment we thought we found "the one", we ended up choosing this one! I can't imagine using any other font!
And I'm so glad to hear you found something you like! Thank you so much for reading, commenting, and supporting 🙂 x
Ooh this is so exciting!! I just checked out your site and you've got some lovely pieces on there 🙂 My favourite is definitely the twilight top and skirt - they're right up my street style-wise! I really wish you both so much success and hope it goes well for you 😀

Thank you so much! I'm so glad you like the name. I hope you check it out, and maybe find something you like 🙂 x
I'm terrible at working out hints because for some reason I thought it was going to be a podcast. I love that you have created this with your sister. Love the name as well and the clothes do stand out from the market. I'm sure Lost in Aster will do really well. xxx
lmfaoo, I want to do a podcast, but I'm not thinking of creating one any time soon. I have wayyy too much on my plate right now. I'm already having trouble blogging and working on the store and working! Hopefully I get back into the right routine to make sure I miss less posts! Thank you so much! I hope you check it out, and maybe even find something you like 🙂 x
