Why Not Having a Niche is a Good Thing

When I started my blog, exactly four years ago, it was after months of putting it off because I couldn’t pick a niche or a name. This proved to be a nearly impossible task, and held me back from just starting (hello perfectionism and always needing a master plan before taking the first step!) I had been wanting to start a blog for a couple years at that point, but had SO many so-called “brand experts” telling me to “pick a niche pick a niche pick a niche” and I just COULDN’T! One day, I had an epiphany – I could just make the lack of a niche my brand! The name “Queen of All Trades” came to me one day and seemed so perfect that it opened the door to finally starting.

Why You Should Start Shopping in the Men’s Section

My style has changed a lot over the years, but one thing I have always valued in clothing is comfort.

When summer unofficially ends after Labor day, I start mourning it even though the weather stretches on for several more weeks (hello, global warming). The start of fall is bittersweet for me. I DO love fall – the colorful leaves, hot latte szn, cinnamon spice everything – but I have never really understood the hype of fall fashion. Literally EVERYONE I know is obsessed with it and waits all year for it! I must be the only one who feels like summer fashion is where it’s at: bright colors, lots of skin showing, and all the tropical vibes. It is just screaming Alana!! Since the weather takes a long time to catch up to actual fall, September is…
