New Years Resolutions…

Every New Years Eve (or somewhere around that time) I feel compelled to make a list of New Years resolutions. Pretty much for the last ten years my list has looked something like this:

1. Lose 10 pounds
2. Save more money
3. Find true love
4. Become a writer
5. Move to NYC
6. Finish my Novel
7. Be happy
8. Etc…etc….etc…..

This year I have decided to only resolve to do FIVE things. In narrowing my list, I plan to concentrate on fewer things and therefore accomplish them! So here are my resolutions:

1. Run a 10k. (This was on my Top Ten list for 2010 and I never even came close. However, it is something I have wanted to do for years, so it will be on my Top Five for 2011!)

2. Write four blog posts a week. (Not too many, not too few…. enough to establish the habit of continually writing. In 2011, I aim to have many more in-depth Fashion and Beauty posts with the latest trends and styles etc.)

3. Visit New York City (Again, on my 2010 list….) It has been my childhood dream since I was 8.

4. Take a vacation with my Daughter. She turns three in April and I want to build lasting memories with her! I am hoping to take her back to Seattle!!

5. Become Debt Free! I don’t have a lot of debt, but I would like to learn to live by a budget and eliminate it completely! I think it is important to be financially savvy in order to accomplish one’s goals. My father is my greatest influence on Saving, Investing and Budgeting. I think I may be consulting him ALOT!

The September Issue

I was truly blown away while watching this movie last night! I almost packed my car up and moved to New York City to beg for an internship at Vogue!! I have religiously read Vogue since I was a young pre-teen, and I agree, it IS the “bible” of the Fashion world. Fashion is art, beauty, color, movement, and so much more. It is a story waiting to be told in the fabric, cut and style! It is truly an art form! The September Issue took viewers inside the Vatican of the Fashion world: Vogue Magazine

 Anna Wintour’s seemingly effortless grace and poise truly inspired me!

New York City in June!!!

 

So…. I am planning a trip with one of my Bestest Friends Camie Joy to New York City this summer (hopefully in June!!).  To live in New York City has been a life long dream of mine, and I am BEYOND-EXCITED about this trip! I used to daydream about living in a loft in NYC while I was folding laundry at Eleven-years-old! That is how long I have fantasized about going there! To say that I am excited would be an understatement! I promise to post pictures of all our “adventures” while we are there!!
