New In: End of 2013 Shopping ❤

On the last day of 2013, I decided to go on a little shopping trip just to end off the year on a good note. I've been such a big online shopper lately, that I hardly ever go to the city anymore. But when I do, I never fail to bring home some great items. 

The first thing I picked up was this awesome coat from NewLook. I love the material, the fit and it keeps me so warm! And I got it on sale for just €19. 

The next things I got are from H&M. It's been such a long time since I shopped at H&M. But I always find the cutest stuff. First item is this cute cream semi-cropped blouse. Size XS was the only one left and I was afraid it wouldn't fit me, because it looked way smaller. But it's so form fitting, so it looked great. Next item, is this cute cut-out blouse. I definitely like this blouse, because it so happens you can either wear the cut-out in the front or in the back. Major plus for versatility. 

I definitely need to try and do more offline shopping, since I always manage to score items I love!

New Year, New Goals ❤

In the Netherlands it is exactly 00:00 so I wanna wish all of my readers a HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

I always get excited for new years, because it's a chance for me to set new goals and seize new opportunities. Every end of the year I make a list, with all my realistic (and unrealistic) resolutions. It just gets me that more excited to start off the new year.

In 2013 I want to...

* Take my blog that more serious and really try to create more exposure. I'm hoping to get invited more for fashion shows, press events, store launches and other fashion/blogger/beauty events.

* Be motivated enough to get back in the gym and get in a better, healthier shape.

* Finally finish re-decorating my entire home, just the way I always pictured it. 

* Travel as much as I can to places like: London, Paris and Milan. I love short-stay (shopping) trips and I love the fact that living in the Netherlands has made it that much easier. 

* Enjoy life more.

2013 will definitely be a great year, I can feel it. Hope you feel the same way! And hopefully you'll stick around my blog this year too <3<3<3 I'd appreciate it a whole lot.
