2011 has proven to be the most difficult year of my life, and while things didn't come up all roses, I do count my blessings at what I have overcome and how much I have grown. It also makes me grateful for each day, and each day that gets a little better and I get a little stronger. As one of my favourite quotes goes, 'Where there is no struggle, there is no strength'.
I am looking forward to continuing to put one foot in front of the other for this new year, growing and always striving to be the best version of myself.
Cheers and happy new year!

I spent my NYE out of town, which was somewhat unplanned until the last minute. It was low key and sweet, and the scenery, as you can tell, was beautiful (and btw, those are not black and white photos).
I will be posting about my New Years Resolutions this coming week, so stayed tuned.
Happy New Year!

First outfit post of the new year! Ya! So I figured I'd put this post to good use and offer up an outfit post, finally, and list out my resolutions. I'm not really one for resolutions, I used to make them when I was younger and of course, never follow through with them, leading to a year of un-crossed off items and disappointment. This year, I'm going to partake, but only in a half-assed way. Resolutions? Not necessarily. Things I enjoy and would like to accomplish? Yes.
* Wear more lipstick (on weekends, especially) - why not? I currently never wear lipstick, always gloss, but you know what? Lipstick is fun and I'm going to incorporate it into my make-up looks.
* Continue to step outside of my fashion 'box' - when helping style my friends, I always encourage them to step outside of their personal fashion box. This means, trying anything and everything on, keeping an open mind and not turning up your nose at something that might seem outrageous (outrageous to you, courageous to me).
* Meet at least two blogger friends. I'm assuming this will be Emily & Kara as they both live relatively close, but who knows (Jamie & Sharon are top on my international list).
* Buy an SLR camera (I'm debating between a Canon & Nikon - suggestions?).
* Teach myself more HTML and advance my skills - this is mainly to help me blog better. HTML annoys the F out of me, but it can be so rewarding, so wish me luck.

As I look back on 2010 I think of all the amazing times and memories that were made, the hardships I've overcome and what the future holds. To say it was easy to put together this recap would be a lie as there was so much to share but I've decided to keep (this recap, at least) to strictly fashion. Hope you all have a safe and happy New Years and I look forward to 'seeing you next year'!
