One Thousand
[Dress: ASOS (sold out in gingham, but new versions available in block colours here , wallpaper print here, and OMGPOLKADOT here) // Shoes: Carvela 'Assemble']
This is my 1,000th post here at Forever Amber.
I thought I would mark the occasion by writing my best post ever: one that would make you laugh, cry, and, I don’t know, maybe cheer?
Instead, here are some photos of me prancing around in high heels. No, thank YOU.
(No, really, thank you for reading this. Your comments are the only reason I’ve continued with this blog through 1,000 posts about my dog, my clothes and the random acts of stupidity I commit on a daily basis. If you’re still reading, or if you’ve just started reading, then thank you, and I hope you’ll stick around for the next 1,000 posts. Or, you know, the next few at least.)
On the plus side, at least the 1,000th post wasn’t that one about me being locked in the bathroom. Close call.

You make me laugh out loud with every post – and despite the internet’s frequent use of ‘lol’ I genuinely never ‘lol’, unless I am here

I only came across your blog a few weeks ago but it’s fast become one of my “must-reads.” You have such a gorgeous style and reading your blog always makes me laugh and smile, so I will definitely still be reading up to your next 1000 posts (and beyond!)

I’ve recently begun reading your blog and have been backtracking just so I can read all your other posts. They make me laugh and smile on a regular basis. Thank you – I hope you see thousands of more posts from you!

Also – is that the same gingham as the ASOS circle skirt I believe we both own in red?
Amber
July 31, 2012 at 10:48 pm (298 days ago)It is! It was part of a little collection they did using this fabric/print – I managed to restrict myself to just the two pieces

Love seeing your outfit posts and reading your fun posts about your mishaps, your posts about the gym and “the others” still rank as some of my most favourite and fun reads ever!
Thank you for sharing bits of your life with us!

August 1, 2012 at 4:48 am (298 days ago)I love your blogs! No one tells a funnier “I got locked in my own bathroom” story than you do. (Maybe the photos helped, lol)!
Amber
August 1, 2012 at 9:46 am (298 days ago)Thanks for your lovely comments, everyone! I have to admit, every time I press “publish” on a post here, I worry that no one will ever read it or respond to it, so knowing there are people who are reading, and actually enjoying it, really means a lot to me: thank you!
Erika
August 1, 2012 at 2:49 pm (297 days ago)Your blog was one of the first that I ever came across and is certainly my favorite! You are a great writer, with great style, and lovely photos. I enjoy all of your posts!

August 20, 2012 at 11:26 am (278 days ago)Amber! Congratulations and a lot of thanks for keeping us entertained. I’ve been reading your blog for… um… six years?! I love reading your stories and I’m grateful for the laughs. I’ve been a freelancer for five months now and you’re really a role model for me (‘cos I wanna earn enough to go to Florida once a year, one day, too ;D). It’s awesome how you do all this, thanks for sharing your stories with us. All the best for you, your family and the blog!
