2013 Resolutions

Recently, Glossybox asked if I would be interested in sharing my New Year’s Resolutions with you and also their subscribers.  In the past, I'd make a mental note, and pretty much after a week, I'd forget about them.  But not this year!

Go on Tour

Living in Downtown Chicago the daily hustle and bustle of life takes over from enjoying what the city truly has to offer!  This year, once a quarter, my plan is to explore Chicago like a tourist from the neighborhoods, to museums, restaurants, and local boutiques, I’m going to sample it, take it in, and give you a tour through my lens!  

Pattern Up….or Down

Patterns used to seem daunting to me, but the trick is finding the correct size, colour combination, and pairings that work for you.  From scarves, to tops, skirts, and jeans my mission this year is to not be intimidated by patterns.

Colour Me

Some of my favorite glossybox products!

I’d like to work on adding colour within my cosmetics.  I tend to gravitate towards neutrals because I know it works well with my medium/yellow undertone complexion, but why not try a bold lipstick, or eye shadow?  I’ve got nothing to lose!

In the Green

As a fashion blogger, it’s tempting to keep up with the trends.  While I may be a bargain shopper, let’s face it, deals and steals do add up.  While my resolution is to keep up with the trends, if I can’t think beyond creating more than 3 looks with a piece….it’s going back to the rack!  

Nail It

It's time to get creative!

I commit the ultimate sin by filing my nails back and forth!  As a result, I’ve suffered from far too many hangnails, old habits die hard!  Healthy nails are a result from properly caring for your hands so my goal is to exfoliate and moisturize more often.  Finally, I’d like to get more creative with my nails from alternating colours, to adding glitter, and trying appliqué designs.
