About Me

I'm Alison, and this is my blog -- thank you for visiting!

  {name: alison}

I read blogs like it's my job, focusing on all of the things I'm interested in: food, fashion, design, healthy living, travel, New York City, and now, running. I love getting to know people through their passions, their ideas, their beautiful images.

I'm not an expert on any of these subjects, so when I decided to enter the blogosphere, I knew I should write about the only thing I am completely knowledgeable about: me. This blog is a bit of my own personal diary, a place where I can channel all of the ideas I have floating around in my head.

The timing of launching this blog is important. I feel like I've been stuck in neutral for the past few years and I am ready to make some big changes in my life. I think I'm going to go on some pretty big adventures, and I want a virtual scrapbook to remember it all! For better or worse, I want to capture all of the stories, the highs and the lows of the journey for myself...and if others want to come along, I am utterly tickled and so pleased!

What makes this blog different from all of the {fill in the blank} blogs out there? Well, maybe not so much. There are lots of wonderful blogs, many of them covering the same topics.

But I do feel I have something to contribute. I have huge dreams, a big heart, and a bit of experience under my belt. I think this could make for some interesting reading, and I am excited about sharing my story and joining this warm and wonderful online community.

For now, I am going to keep the blog anonymous. I am a bit of a wallflower by nature, so I think I need to ease into this. I do truly appreciate all of the wonderful bloggers who just put themselves out there -- you are so brave, and you make it look like fun! I suspect I'll be ready to get out on the dance floor soon enough.

{loves: lists, whales, macarons, postcards, ruffles, beach houses, hollywood, prosecco, flea markets, sunday papers, monogrammed everything, daydreaming, diners, museums, naps, ranunculus...}

Oh, and why The Peacock Diaries? Kinda arbitrary. I do love peacocks -- they're beautiful and strange, and they are quite fast runners. And yes, I know the females are peahens, and I am a girl...but would you read The Peahen Diaries?
