1/6/2024 0 Comments Color me courtney instagram![]() ![]() I’m also super girly & love being the center of attention, but never felt I needed a wedding to do that (Leoooo baby). So many people blur the line between privacy and transparency – just because I’m super transparent, doesn’t mean I deserve a lack of privacy. Not because I have an issue with the platform (clearly I love it) or because I’m shy (guys I’m SOOO extra) but just because things like that become kind of obsessive for me, and I’ve learned to avoid behaviors that can become addicting (hence why I don’t really drink) – plus I’m kind of private. I don’t have any personal social media, and truly if I didn’t have a blog & love creating content I probably wouldn’t have an instagram account. I work all day (and often night as I write this at 3am) everyday on Color Me Courtney and I LOVE IT but I also miss just Courtney and want to make sure she gets some time too. Since I’ve taken off the Hannah Montana wig to blog full time, the line between Courtney & Color Me Courtney has been extremely blurred. This is new territory, I’ve never paused at sharing or even over sharing before, so now I’m trying to decide if I want to have one thing just for me. Paris is strictly against this lol, so there will be a wedding – I’m just trying to find a place where I’m comfortable enough sharing without feeling attacked or exposed. SO NOW WHAT – I haven’t decided if I’m going to do blog collaborations associated with the wedding or not, truthfully in my life post blogging where everything is on display and criticized, I would be happy with eloping. I’m not complaining, but I didn’t even have a moment to be happy as Courtney before everyone wanted to see how they could exploit the Color Me Wedding which was kind of annoying to me – idk maybe I’m being a brat about it, and if that’s the case I apologize. I also got immediately bombarded with people asking to design my wedding dress, do my flowers, and even officiate the wedding as quickly as 30 min after announcing. I’ve shared the hardships of my health, waffles’s paralysis and my relationship online so these accusations really hurt me and I kind of shut down. I think you guys know I’m about as transparent as they come in terms of my blog, social and life. We didn’t film a vlog of it, we didn’t have some secret plan associate with it, and still I got so many accusations that what we did was staged and fake – which is really disheartening. I’ve chosen not to share any other additional details at this time, only because I share so much (and Paris does by default too) that I wanted to have something for us. MY RESPONSE TO THE ENGAGEMENT – So as you know, we got engaged in London. He considered a few other brands for the ring, but really fell in love with the story & people behind Simon G. He visited their HQ outside of LA and toured the factory while I was onset for a photoshoot (I had no idea). Paris met directly with the brand’s manager who’s actually Simon’s daughter in law to initiate the design process. Simon G is a family owned a operated brand. He’s really into heritage brands like ( Saint James for all his stripes) and boutique-y stores that are usually foreign ones (like the Amsterdam brand Scotch and Soda), so naturally when looking for a ring company he wanted to follow the same trend. He also is all about the consumer experience and rarely ever shops online (two weeks ago he bought his first piece of clothing online EVER. He’s really selective about the companies he “invests” in as a consumer and wants to make sure they have a story to tell and stand for something. WHY SIMON G? – One thing you might not know about Paris is that he’s even pickier about brands than I am. ![]()
