Welcome everybody to the brand new age of Kayture. I’m calling it the Darkish Age, not just for it’s model new black format, but in addition for it’s new age of emancipation. I’ll clarify additional bellow however earlier than that I’ve to specific how proud I’m of this re-launch as we’ve been engaged on it for months along with the wonderful group at Colorz who fully nailed it. A giant due to their complete crew for creating one thing so stunning. It was so essential for me that the weblog ressembles the brand new artwork course I’m taking creatively but in addition and particularly displays the younger girl, artistic thoughts and entrepreneur that I’m at present, the lady I need to be and the determine I need to be for individuals who comply with Kayture, a determine I need to be happy with.

I’ve been trying to find a extra soulful, elegant, darker method to what I do, making an attempt to navigate a bit away from what we will name “conventional” running a blog with outfits of the day to a extra editorial kind of content material the place I really feel like I share with you extra than simply issues to purchase or dictating a way of life or tendencies to as an alternative share an aesthetic, a imaginative and prescient, moments, inspiration.

To me, this method is rather more private and in reality, I needed to return to a Kayture the place creativity is available in first, not the likes. Though I nonetheless get messages from sure of you who miss me being blonde and so forth, my darker hair can be an opportunity for me to hopefully problem opinions and perceptions. I’ve been feeling good and rather more like myself, rising extra maturely on this business the place it’s a problem on a regular basis to remain related and particularly genuine with out compromising integrity.

I’m calling this the Darkish Age to not sound edgy or to justify my hair coloration (lol) however to problem perceptions and to represent a want to construct one thing lengthy lasting, clever, elegant, soulful. Darkness is related typically to a state of negativity, when the truth is, to me the darkish has at all times introduced a lot gentle. It’s at evening, when the entire world appears to be at sleep that I really feel essentially the most artistic, thus the rationale why I received a moon tattoo on my left wrist (a lefty certainly). I wrote most of my e book On The Go through the evening or up within the sky, on a airplane disconnected from the world and from actuality. Getting this tattoo was purely symbolic and it had a fantastic that means to me. It’s inside darkness that I really feel essentially the most secure, essentially the most comfy, the place I really feel like I could be myself essentially the most with out worry or judgment, the place I can hear myself and hearken to my emotions with none exterior noise. It’s within the darkness that I really feel like changing into a greater individual. Not obsessing over the lime gentle, not caring about opinions or the ephemeral reward that comes with the sunshine and it’s glamorous glow.

So sure, I spotted with time and rising up that I fairly desire the delicate, discrete, mysterious darkness as an alternative of the oblivious gentle. And for these curious to journey themselves within the darkness, they’ll discover treasures that those that keep solely within the gentle by worry gained’t be capable of see. I’ve wanted that darkness a lot… I don’t know if it’s as a result of I grew up as an solely baby and spent a lot time on my own, cultivating solitude as a creative car, or due to my zodiac signal, scorpio, which makes me instinctively so attracted by darkish, however I suppose I’m only a massive dreamer and each story my grand mom ever advised me was proper earlier than falling asleep at evening. It’s on the planet of goals that I discover my creativeness getting free essentially the most. And this freedom, this freedom of thoughts and coronary heart, I pursue it each day. By permitting myself to hunt darkness, I opened doorways that allowed me to be completely entire. Accepting every side as a part of an entity.

You see, though my numbers on social media or the repute I might need grown on this business may say the opposite, I’ve at all times been deep down within the backside, fairly a nerdy shy introvert who opened a weblog in 2011 to nerd out. A dreamer fascinated in regards to the mysteries of the world, of life, of individuals, fascinated by magnificence, by this curious business that’s vogue and artwork. However whenever you put an excessive amount of gentle on a bit introvert child like me, it turns into tougher to actually Create. I couldn’t hear myself no extra. All I might hear had been others. I missed folks approaching me naturally with none assumptions, with none constructed up opinions, I craved actual contact, actual interactions and so I selected to swing on the wave of tranquility and serenity, with out proving something to anybody, with out pressuring myself to attempt to clarify who I actually am and the way I actually really feel, however hopefully letting my actions and my choices converse for themselves for these attentive sufficient to see.

As a result of you already know, I’m so happy with what I’ve achieved, of Kayture, of how this little child of a weblog has grown into changing into what it’s at present, a strong artistic platform for self-expression. I’ve nobody to reply to, I’ve at all times made my very own guidelines, nobody controls my phrases or the photographs I select to submit. This freedom is priceless. Kayture has given me a life like I might have by no means imagined. However I refuse to be dictated by numbers, by conversions, I refuse to stay my youth caring extra about my variety of followers than my artistic capabilities or how good of a human being I’m. Within the letters a few of my followers have written me, there have been these stunning messages about self progress, how Kayture impressed them to pursue their goals too, and gave them the power to maintain on preventing for what they love. And as I learn these traces I knew this was my mission and it’s my obligation to maintain spreading this message of affection and hope by representing it, and carry on preventing myself too for my goals, as a result of they don’t merely resume themselves right into a weblog. A weblog is a diary, it isn’t the top objective, it’s the platform to narrate the journey, not the journey itself.

So after all it will probably appear a bit hypocritical to say all this and nonetheless be a part of this sport however I feel all the things in life deserves stability and it’s what I’m presently in search of. I need to create content material I’m happy with, content material I like, content material that’s truly inspiring past running a blog norms, past simply my face or seems to be. I need to share with you a part of my life, my ideas, play with my seems to be for enjoyable, and for re-inventing myself as a lady. I need to share with you quickly a brand new profession chapter, and hopefully many extra sooner or later with out being afraid. Even when it means loosing followers. I desire to be sure that the individuals who comply with me are curious, need to see me develop and see this progress as some power to take again with them on their very own journey. I need to incorporate new parts in my content material that aren’t simply in regards to the garments I put on, however extra in regards to the issues I’m impressed by and attempt to characterize them visually by way of the way in which the photographs are taken, the colours, the poses and the way the moods are chosen.

So please don’t miss the blonde Kristina, I promise you, she might need had all of the likes however I deeply imagine and actually hope that the grown up one, the one I stand for at present, is a significantly better, and entire human being.

A lot of you’ve got observed my discretion throughout social platforms and I’ve to thanks for permitting me to take this step again. I’ll hold evolving a bit within the shadows for now, till the day comes to indicate you what I’ve been cultivating in my midnight backyard. It’s laborious to be affected person when you’re severely impatient like me…However a number of the biggest issues in life are value nurturing and ready for.
