Well well well, if it isn’t another collection that comes with its own traumas! If you’re new here, Hi! I’m Lake, the deeply tortured artist behind Lakeside Ranch Silver. Now I know that sounds dramatic, and maybe I am being dramatic? Okay, scratch that, I might not be “deeply tortured,” but I am deeply misunderstood. What do you do when you feel that way? Personally, I throw a fit.

But that’s not how this collection came to be; it actually had a much lighter vibe at its conception. My smoking hot husband just qualified for his first National Finals Rodeo, which I am still having a hard time wrapping my head around. I am so stinking proud of him and looking forward to celebrating him for 10 nights in beautiful Las Vegas, NV!

If you don’t know, the NFR is the largest 10 days for western fashion in the world. No one does it better than the baddies in Vegas! And I want to be one of those baddies too! But my love for fashion comes with a price tag. Contrary to popular belief, I do buy my own clothes, so I thought I better get to work! Thus the “Throw A Fit” collection came to be! You get it? Like throwing an outfit?

To no one’s surprise, a new collection means new narratives to battle. I sigh as I write those words. This always plays out the same. One drop comes to a close with amazing support and success, I hide for a few days in solitude to cultivate fresh ideas, make a few posts of said new ideas, and then DING DING DING! Internet troll enters stage left with a line that hits below the belt. At first, I might respond with a satirical anecdote and try to make light out of the situation, but then, after a few more jabs, I realize I’m not having fun anymore. So naturally, the only conclusion is to get the F offline. But goodness, I desperately want to get out of this vicious cycle. 

We’re at the end of the vicious cycle again. I’ve decided to spend some time away from socials while simultaneously “throwing a fit”. Isn’t that funny how this naturally turned into a double themed drop? Unintentionally ironic, which is also great words to describe life. 
 

But low key… when is this going to stop? What would you do if the negative narratives about you never ceased? I’m at the point now where this happens so often it must be me. I am the common denominator here. But I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong? I guess what I’m saying is, I’m not sure how to fix me. I suppose the only thing to do is to continue to create, and pray for better days ahead. Maybe the tortured artist vibe will be good for my creativity.

The “Throw a Fit” Collection will be on a random day and random time; stay tuned for clues for when that might be!
