a haute mess signing off

As I sit here with my morning cup of coffee, and get caught up on my latest Canadian fashion bloggers, I come across Niki Blasina's {A Haute Mess} post for the day.... she is leaving the blogging world! What!!!! Her and A Haute Mess will no longer be making daily post on http://www.ahautemess.ca/. She referred to this decision as a |break up|; as she has been able to form a relationship with her readers over the years. This break up however, is not ending on bad terms... it is simply ending because it is time....
