New Year, New Me, New Content

Hey guys, we are FINALLY in 2019! I hope you all got into the new year well?
I, for once, went to a party with a bunch of my old school friends and ended up having a great time! Though as lovely as it was seeing everyone again, it was also a slightly odd experience. Mostly because I was finally presented with the “adult” version of all my old teenage friends and it was weird seeing how much everyone had changed. Though mostly in appearances as they were all still just as easy and lovely to talk to as they used to be!
At the party, before everyone else arrived, all the girls had decided beforehand to have dinner together. It was a lovely opportunity to catch up and get “re-acquainted” with each other and so we ended up playing a game in which we listed the 3 best things to happen to us in 2018. Mine where:

Unintentionally being In WillIAm’s Instagram story at the Black Panther Premiere, because how the hell does that even happen!? I didn’t even notice until it was pointed out to me! It’s so cool!!
Meeting Ryan Reynolds in London was truly a highlight as well. What an amazing guy! And SO dreamy too!
Going to Universal Studios in Florida.
This one is truly special to me because I never thought I would be able to go and see all the things I saw there. It was an amazing experience that I’ll truly never forget!

It was a great mood booster around the table and nice to reminisce and talk about our highlights like that! And even though they will probably never read this, I still want to thank them for that. It was a great ending to 2018.

However, now we’re in 2019 and hopefully, this will be a year full of even more opportunities and chances. Not just for travelling (Though I think it’s highly unlikely that I’ll be doing much of that any time soon) but also for personal growth.
Last year was a little crazy for me towards the end. Not to mention out of control, so I want to make sure that I take it slower this year and go at my own pace. That’s also why I’ve been meaning to ask you guys what you would like to see more off from me in the coming year. I know I have some opinions about where I want to take the channel/blog and what I want to write/vlog about but we’re all in this together and I would like to hear your opinions.

I’m sorry that it’s a short update today but I want to make sure I have the proper stuff planned and I was out of commission for the entirety of Monday (I got a little tipsy guys, I’m sorry! Remember to drink responsively!!) and Tuesday went by in a flash so I figured it’d be a good idea, that the first blog post in the New Year was one you could all comment on with your own ideas and input!

Lastly, I want to thank you guys for the support you have lent me throughout 2018 and for your continued support in 2019. There are no words to describe how thankful I am to have you guys here with me, following my own personal journey as I stumble through life. It’s nice to know you are out there and that you care. ❤

Anyway, let me hear what you have to say! Questions are also always welcome and I will try to answer them to the best of my abilities!

New Years Eve party wear inspo and my 2019 resolutions

Christmas Eve is now behind us and what a wonderful Eve it was! Lot’s of laughter, food and great company! Oh! And thank you to all of you who wished me a Merry Christmas as well! It was so lovely to see such a big outpouring of love. It made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside so thank you so much for that and I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!

As I mentioned briefly on Twitter and Youtube, I’ve been taking a quick break over the holidays to recharge and spend time with family. I now feel much better prepared to tackle the end of the year and lo and behold, it’s just around the corner! It’s time to look back and reflect on what has happened as well as look forward and move on towards all of the new and exciting things 2019 will bring with it. In my case, 2019 will be an almost completely fresh start. I’m starting school again in the New Year which is very exciting and something I’ve been looking forward to. I think it will be a nice change of pace and I’m hoping it will become a gateway for more opportunities in the future.

In any case, it’s almost New Year’s Eve and I’m positive that 2019 will be a better year for me than 2018 was and so, I’ve written down my new and improved resolutions for the New Year AND I’ve thrown in a little New Years Eve party wear inspo into the mix as well! So let’s get started!

We’ll start with shirts and blouses. Sequins, glitter and glam are always a solid go-to and a winner every year. That’s why I picked out a few different options that range from pure gold sequins, to a lovely satin blouse. All good options for an evening out! A little sparkle never hurt nobody and if you pair it with a sleek pair of jeans or high wasted suit pants you’ll razzle-dazzle your way into the New Year with ease!

Pantsuits are another good option for New Year’s Eve. You don’t have to worry as much about mixing and matching and they can be used many times afterwards! Personally, I think I’ll be wearing a pantsuit for New Years. It’s easy, it’s stylish and you can always spruce it up with some bold accessories and a nice pair of heels or boots and your evening is set!

Since it’s winter, a good party boot is essential. You can, of course, choose to wear heels as well but I personally prefer boots as they are more comfortable and easier to walk in. Besides, a western style boot is very in this year and would go well with most, if not all, party outfits! A sleek leopard pattern boot is also a good way to show others that you are ready to leap into the New Year in style!

Clutches and bags are a great accessory to help you add a little extra bling into your wardrobe. They’re also essential to carry all your table-bombs and confetti in!
A stylish handbag can lift your outfit to new heights and I personally really like the festive Becksondergaard bags. The diamond pattern is very elegant and vintage. A perfect companion to your New Years Eve party!

Before I end this post I want to write down and share my New Years resolutions with you. I would also love to hear you guys’ resolutions as well and whether or not they have changed since last year. Mine haven’t changed much but they are still relevant in some way or form so I guess it’s alright to re-write them?
In any case, here they are:

Take more chances.
This one is important to me since I have a habit of over-thinking things and usually prevents me from trying new things. I don’t want to hold myself back anymore and so I want to work on jumping at more chances and opportunities and not worry too much about the outcome of them.
Take more pictures.
This has been on my resolutions list since the start of the year. I want to take more and better pictures and of everything. I won’t necessarily upload all of them but I want to have them at least.
Stop worrying about the little things.
This sort of connects to the first one I wrote and it’s something which has followed me for a long time. I always worry and sometimes it’s about the most mundane things you could possibly imagine. It’s a big waste of time and I would love if I could do less of it in the New Year.
Start working out again (and find a sustainable rhythm that keeps me healthy while still having time for other things.)
It’s a New Years resolution, what did you expect? Of course, there is going to be something about my health! It’s mostly about staying active though and not as much about losing weight. I just do so much sedentary work that I need to balance it out with something and my hope is to find that in 2019.
Work hard and achieve what I set out to achieve.
This is pretty self-explanatory but as I mentioned, I start school again next year and so I want to work hard and do well. I know it’ll be difficult at times but I really do want to do as much as I possibly can to study and work hard to achieve my dreams.

3 Christmas Eve outfit ideas

Christmas is next week and If you are anything like me then you have been doing anything but think about what you’ll be wearing on that special eve. There just hasn’t been time in-between all the Christmas shopping, gift giving and tree selecting! And Christmas is approaching fast.

Every year it’s the same. I just never know what to wear! So this year I figured that IF any of you guys are in the same situation as me, where you just don’t know what to wear on Christmas Eve, then I would at least try to prepare myself for the inevitable holiday clothes crisis.
So, fret not! I have put together 3 outfits that I think could be both cosy, warm and comfortable while also being stylish and, most importantly, festive enough for Christmas Eve!

Let’s get started!

This first outfit is the most likely contender for what I personally, will be wearing for Christmas. It’s simple. It includes pants (which I am most comfortable in) AND it’s super festive! A bold red lip is especially very festive this time of year! If you pair that with your favourite eyeshadow and some nice gold jewellery (or silver if you prefer) then you are good to go! The shine in the shoe also helps elevate the outfit and make it more of a party-wear than a day-to-day kind of look. Especially if you add a pair of glittery socks!
This outfit will definitely ensure that’ll you’ll be both comfortable but also chic on Christmas Eve.

This next one is less casual than the first. Though I have still tried to keep it very simple. This simplest way is often times the best way to go about things and I think, especially for Christmas, that it doesn’t have to be anything too fancy.
Here we have a simple black dress with a pair of tall leather boots. Mix it with some nice Christmassy nail polish and some jewellery or a beautiful watch and you’re set. If you live in an area where it’s cold, or you know you’ll be outside a lot, then a pair of stockings might be a good way to keep your legs from freezing off and would definitely be recommended! But if you are staying warm inside all evening then I think this outfit is a good way to feel both feminine but also comfortable on Christmas Eve.

The last outfit is something I WISH I could wear this Christmas (I sadly don’t own a long skirt though) because it’s so nice. It’s inspired by the “long skirt and sweater combo” trend that I’ve been seeing A LOT of this year. It’s a very feminine outfit but the chunky knit helps ensure that you stay warm and cosy. Pair it with a nice pair of dress shoes and some jewellery and you’re set! I picked these out in Christmassy colours and motives but you can always mix and match with what colours and patterns you prefer!

Even though I have these to guide me, I still think I will need to take another final sweep through the stores to see if I can’t find something to spruce up my own Christmas outfit with! I’m thinking some nice earrings or a pair of stylish boots will do the trick? We’ll see!

ALSO, this will be the last blog post before Christmas hits so I hope you are all ripe and ready for Christmas time!
Do you have all your presents in order? Have you had time to enjoy friends and family? And what are you are going to wear on Christmas Eve? Let me know in the comments! And if you don’t celebrate Christmas then have a lovely Monday/Tuesday and I hope you still get to treat yourselves before the New Year.

Merry Christmas!
