Shirt; Urban Outfitters || Turtleneck; I have no idea but I'll say Vintage so it sounds cool || High-waisted jeans; New Look

WELL HAPPY NEW YEAR GUYS!!!!! How lovely is it to see in the New Year happy and healthy! I don't think I'll ever stop loving New Years and just the whole vibe going on around this time of year. It might be cliche or annoying for everyone to be like 'New Year, New Me!!' but I really, honestly, love it.  I've made some New Year resolutions this year too and I think, instead of trying to achieve them all at once, I'll concentrate on one a month, focusing on that. Apparently it only takes a month to break/get into a habit so I figured that would be a good take on it.

You know what else I'm loving...? This shirt from Urban Outfitters! (smooth link, real smooth...) I saw it on their website while browsing and just love the colour. I was actually in search of a jumper but thought I may as well pop this in to my basket too. It's actually a lot more richer in colour in real life than it was on the model but, unsurprisingly, I love it for that. I think I may have misjudged the size though as I got it in a large but ooooooohhhhhhhhhh welllllll, it's a nice piece to just throw on over something. I also purchased some high-waisted jeans from New Look which is not like me as I usually stick to standard skinnies but, yeah, I'm loving these too.

Hope you all enjoyed the New Year celebrations! Do you love New Year's as much as me or just hate it? How do you make sure you stick to your New Year Resolutions?

She turned her dreams into plans and her can'ts into can's // OOTD

I wore this outfit the other day and I think it's the first time I've worn a skirt in a looooooooong time. I go through stages where I just hate wearing skirts/dresses for some reason then think they are the best thing in the world again. Also, I actually think my top is some sort of beachwear that's supposed to be worn over your bikini but I just loved the print so much and to be honest, I'm not going to a beach any time soon! (Sucks, I know).

I say this every year but I honestly can't believe it's June already. We're half way through the year already guys!! It's weird how, day-to-day time seems to go at quite a normal pace then you wake up one day to see it says 01/06/2013 on your calender and you can't help but think back to those new years resolutions you made (remember them?!).  I also can't help but think that I've chosen to just 'stand still' for a while in the sense that my main goals of finding, applying and getting a decent job and just enjoying being in my 20's has taken somewhat of a backseat and I just seem to have accepted that this is the way things are for now. Which is kinda sad. I've been in a sort of 'meh' sort of mood recently and I need to find my 'get-up-and-go' attitude that I had before. Where did it gooooooooo??!

Two Thousand and Thirteen... Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!!

I hope you guys had fun celebrating in the new year, wherever you are and whatever you did! 2012 was such a big year, full of laughter, exams, tears, parties, graduation, more laughter, summer, loss, job hunting,  travelling, more laughter, dreaming, planning aaaaand, yep, more laughter!  It was great, and I'm looking forward to seeing what 2013 has in store! Here's a prayer for more great opportunities, laughter and prosperity for us all. 

However you feel about the build up to New Years, resolutions and the whole 'New Year - New Me' thing people have going on, you can't deny the good feeling that comes with seeing 'January 1st' on your calender and knowing that there never was a better time to make a fresh start if you need it and to let go of any negativity from the past. It's a new year and it's a great time to look ahead.

2013

Brrrrrrrrriiiiiiiing it on!
