Essentials To Begin A New Year

Posted on

Every New Years Eve we make a list of resolutions to accomplish in the New Year.  All of these goals and dreams keep us motivated but we actually have to make plans to construct a successful year. When you have goals set for yourself you have to start working on them right away.  To keep your resolutions strong, you have to really want it.  Channel all your energy into becoming who you want to be. Better yourself.   If there is one thing I’ve learned in life it’s that you have to make things happen.  All good things come from taking on challenges, overcoming the obstacles and seeking out opportunities.  Take risk and get out of your comfort zone.  Accomplish your resolutions this year, no matter what they are, be positive and do it!

I’m going to work extra hard to accomplish all of my goals and resolutions. That’s why I began this year with the right essentials to help me keep organized and focused.

  • Agenda/Planner– Let’s face it, my brain does not have the potential to remember everything. With so many things going on something is bound to be forgotten. That’s why keeping an agenda is very important. Agendas help keep you up to date with meetings, bill payments, remembering birthdays, to do lists or strategically organizing your life. Honestly I’ve become very forgetful so having an agenda helps me be orderly and productive. I’m a leopard print gal so this 2015 planner is so me.
  • Q & A five year Journal Life is full of changes and experiences, there is nothing better than to write those memories or thoughts down. I love going back and reading my old journal. Just remembering past things shows how I’ve grown and its really enlightening. Q & A a day journal makes that easier….It basically has a question to answer a day everyday for a year than you start again the next year for a complete five years. It’s a fun and quick way to keep track of all the interesting things going on in your life and to look back upon.
  • What to Wear Pad– As a fashion lover and blogger this is seriously one of the best things I can own. Putting an outfit together as never been easier! This life saving note pad is perfect for fashionable ladies like me. It’s my paper personal stylist and allows me to put together chic looks.
  • Sand Tropaz Essie Polish –I wore this nail polish all through December 14’ and I’ll be wearing through 2015. With this neutral nail tone I’ve found perfection that looks great with everything!
  • Lancôme La Vie est Belle (Life is Beautiful)– This is officially my new signature scent. It’s probably one of the best perfumes I’ve ever owned and trust me I have many. The sweet and floral mixture is amazing. At times I have to stop myself from obsessively smelling my wrists. I swear the ingredients of classy, sweet, sophisticated and sensual are part of this fragrances mixture. Saying I love La Vie est Belle is a major understatement.

Taking a moment to reflect on 2014, which was full of positive and negative experiences. You need the trials and tribulations to receive the blessings.  Above all this year has been amazing full of so many opportunities and experiences that without a doubt I know 2015 will be absolutely incredible.  I wanted to thank you all for being part of this wonderful year and for your constant support.

My deepest desire is that all of you have an amazing 2015 full of blessings, health, success and many priceless memories.  Make things happen for yourself and keep a positive outlook on life. Embrace this New Year and make the most of it. Happy New Year! Love you all!

  • Stop being lazy and exercise more
  • Spend a little less money and save more

New Years Eve Look #2: Glamorous Girly

New Year’s Eve is right around the corner! Have you decided what to wear yet? I stress out looking for the perfect outfit. I love lots of sparkles, but this year I was inspired to change things up a bit. Dresses have always been my go-to. If you’re looking for a very girly and feminine look a dress is your best option. When I saw this short printed lace detailed dress at Kress my first thought was, “Who needs sparkle? This dress is fabulous!” I fell in love with the colors, patterns, lace and instantly knew it was the perfect dress for New Years Eve! You can’t have New Years Eve without a little sparkle so cheers to adding a flashy statement necklace. A pair of fun black heels finished up the look and Voila….here it is, my Happy New Years glamorous girly look.

New Years Eve Look #1: Royal Blue Babe

December 31st is quickly approximating and I was thinking about what I’ll be wearing to celebrate.  This week I’ll be sharing two looks that can be worn on New Year’s Eve. This first look is all about comfort and elegance.  These loose fitting royal blue pants and black long sleeve blouse are perfect to ring in the New Year feeling completely comfortable and chic with a touch of glam. To add the finishing touch I paired suede pumps to the outfit.

Merry Christmas!

I want to take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Christmas. May this day be full of abundant happiness, joy and blessings.  I may sound like a record on repeat but I love the holidays. Little miss me can’t get enough of Christmas music, drinking white peppermint mocha, building gingerbread houses,  decorating  the tree, making Christmas cards, wrapping and unwrapping presents. Another thing I really enjoy about Christmas is the parties and family gatherings.

Now, talking about Christmas parties this season brings with it lots of glitter, sequins and lace for holiday attire.  Dressing up for holiday parties is so much fun.  Nothing shouts “Santa is coming to town” like a cute lace red dress. This beautiful dress has holiday fun and cheer written all over it. Fashionably celebrating Christmas became effortless by showing off my feminine style at seasonal soirees with this gorgeous dress.  This Zuleyka dress is one of many festive dresses for women, perfect for those holiday occasions. If you want to be the guest with the most glam in a modern formal dress, check out all the options available at Kress stores or kress online.

Maxi Kind of Day

I love a good printed maxi but finding the right dress can be a bit hard. Honestly, most of the ones I’ve seen look very cheap but I finally got lucky.  This particular maxi is very comfortable, super chic and easy to style.  Besides its easy flow and stylish comfort, it’s very versatile. The entire look can be changed just by altering the accessories. If you’re going for a more casual boho look, flat sandals will best suite you.  For a more glamorous look; adding heels, a statement necklace and fashionable wristlet take you from boho casual to classic beauty.  Although maxis are pretty pricey, this one by “Zuleyka for Kress” is very affordable. You can find it at Kress Stores or shop online at www.shopkress.com
