Happy NYE & NYD Insta family, and Happy Birthday t

Happy NYE & NYD Insta family, and Happy Birthday to me on January 1. It’s time to bid adieu to 2020. May this new year bring you renewed hope and divine radiance.

Historical and transformative, 2020 will leave lasting imprints on our hearts. This past year tested the most devout among us. The portrait of a mask forever etched in our minds. The shift from being out in the world to quarantining at home was metamorphic. The year of the first responder —the pandemic left a legacy that reshaped society in profound and lasting ways. We walked in the darkness together, a litmus test to our collective strength.

Remarkable blessings were given to us that transcend the space of despair. Whether it was more time with family, personal growth, a new business or simply that you slowed down long enough to smell the roses we all received an unexpected gift of time. We were given the opportunity to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, to find the joy in the simple pleasures of life. If we take the time to look for it, no matter what the circumstance, there is always positive meaning to be found.

Personally speaking, it was the year of the two C’s for me Cancer & COVID. The double whammy! Battling ovarian cancer while trying to avoid a novel virus was rather perilous, but taught me so many invaluable lessons. The blessings, the breakthroughs and the synchronicities, realigned me while guiding me through cathartic change. Life is the greatest gift of all, and we should celebrate it each and every day. I connected the dots between mind, body and spirit allowing myself to radiate positivity and vitality during this life-changing journey. I faced myself in the mirror and embraced my bald, scarred body honoring that every part of me is mystical and magnificent. I learned to love the new version of me, reminded that even though the surface might look different, I will forever thus be Stacie. My heart is overflowing with gratitude that I am alive to celebrate another birthday.

May good health, joy, kindness and love touch each one of you in this new year. I am so grateful for each of you. 💕@barbara_fletcher_photography thank you for this beautiful photo
Love,
Stacie

As I sit cozy by the fireplace flame this Christma

As I sit cozy by the fireplace flame this Christmas Eve, my heart is filled with immense gratitude. Watching the flickering light in hypnotized joy, I am reminded that the greatest gift you can receive is another day of life. Flickering red reflections have me counting my blessings this holidays season. My soul is smiling and my heart is dancing that I am alive to celebrate with loved ones. I thank God for stepping in and making miracles happen this year. Instagram family I am touched beyond words by your compassion, kindness, love and support during my ovarian cancer journey. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I will forever treasure your thoughtfulness.

This 2020 holiday season is unlike any other in modern history. If you cannot hold your loved ones close this year hold on to hope instead. Let faith, kindness and love be your guiding light. As the eloquent poet Mary Oliver said, “Keep some room in your heart for the unimaginable.” If we can persevere a little longer, when this is all over we will come out on the other side stronger in mind, body and spirit. We will emerge with a deeper understanding of what is truly important in life. Wishing you and your loved ones a blessed, joyful and healthy holiday.
Love,
Stacie

On this day ten years ago I moved to Paris, and em

On this day ten years ago I moved to Paris, and embarked on a beautiful journey in La Ville-Lumière. I spent my childhood daydreaming about living in Paris, and working in the fashion capital of the world. I am incredibly grateful that I turned that dream into a reality for almost a decade. As Gertrude Stein said, “America is my country and Paris is my hometown.”

I can remember it as though it was yesterday. My taxi ride into the city I was enchanted by the balconied buildings, bookstalls along the Seine, charming cobblestone streets and the romantic effervescence percolating from every street corner.

After arriving at my tiny apartment in the 7eme, I stood in my shower for hours gazing out my window captivated by my view of the Eiffel Tower. As I lived above a boulangerie, the aroma of fresh bread awoke me each morning. I walked around the streets wearing an expression of wonderment and sheer delight for years to come.

I encountered some of the most charismatic characters during my audacious odyssey. The book worthy stories are endless. To my Paris girls…you are the most dynamic group of women with that je ne sais quoi factor! Paris blessed us with friendships that will last a lifetime. I am immensely grateful for all of the incredible connections that I made during my time there. To each and every one of you, thank you for touching my heart and soul in a profound manner.

From AUP to rue de la hubbub to George V to the Mojito Bar to Mr. Potato Head to Fashion Week to Plaza Athénée to Coconut Crashing to S&S shenanigans to Dîner en Blanc to the Côte d'Azur – the endless list of magical memories I will always cherish. As Gaston Leroux so aptly said, “In Paris, our lives are one masked ball.” Santé to those sentiments.

I simply come alive in Paris! The city invigorates my creative and romantic spirit. It sparks a feeling of joie de vivre. Paris mon amour you are the most beautiful city in the world. You changed me, molded me and shaped me into the woman that I am today. My heart is forever yours.

It’s time to bid adieu to my blonde locks. This

It’s time to bid adieu to my blonde locks. This feels like a tragedy of epic proportions as I am losing a part of me. My hair is a symbol of femininity, and a reflection of my identity, so losing my “crowning glory” is devastating. I am certain I will have a champagne-soaked hair memorial in my backyard. Don’t be alarmed if you see me walking around stroking a strand of my hair saying “my precious my precious” like Gollum in the Lord of the Rings. Haha 😂

Speaking candidly, losing my hair is much more daunting than the treatments themselves. My inner beauty is what will be illuminating the rest of this journey. It is humbling to admit how much my self esteem is directly tied to my outward appearance. This experience has taught me an invaluable lesson that there is nothing more radiant and sexy than the glow of my inner light shining through. Shaving my head is like shedding the old me, making way for the new and improved healthy me.

I want to take this opportunity to thank the @vermafoundation for sending me my beautiful high-quality cap wig. I am so grateful for your generosity. This is an extraordinary foundation that is helping women ‘put a cap on cancer.’ To learn more about the remarkable work they are doing, and to apply for a cap wig click the link in my bio.

Along with wigs, I plan to adorn myself in silky @hermes scarves. I will rock my @emiliopucci pastels and pretend I am jet setting to St Tropez or Capri with my chic head-wraps.

If I am feeling brave I might share a photo of my brilliantly bald head. To all of you courageous warriors out there that have been through this battle I salut you. Your valor is inspiring. To those of you still waging the war like me, I stand beside you fighting. We will lose our majestic manes together.

To my Insta family I am so grateful for all of your love and support. Your DM’s mean the world to me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sending love and light to everyone.

Love,
Stacie
