This year I decided to approach things differently. Instead of having goals and pressuring myself into a list of things that quite frankly could change at any point based on circumstances outside of my control, I want to start the year with intention and wishes. So I created a list of specific things I would like to accomplish this year as well as a couple of fashion wishlists.
One of the fundamentals I'm keeping at the forefront this year, is putting myself first and working on my own development. It seems so hard at times, where do we even start and how can we do this? I'm always struggling to start and to understand how to even make that first step. It's so easy to priorities your family, partner, work, and put yourself second. I've definitely been guilty of this and I've mentioned this before, but you can't pour from an empty cup.
I've found the first best step is to be informed, so I've ordered books I have high hopes for. If you're in the market and haven't read these, here's my list
The Life Changing Magic of Not Giving a F**k by Sarah Knight
Good Vibes Good Life by Vex King
Quotations Believe in Yourself by Helen Exley
I've recommended these books already to my friends and anyone who would listen, because I want us all to focus on being the best versions of ourselves, lifting each other and focusing on us. If you have more recommendations make sure to share in the comment section. So set your intentions and create your list, work on it and let's all have the best year possible!

I contemplated writing this post seeing my 2020 was mostly spent in lockdown, but looking back I realized I still wore some cute outfits. And especially at the beginning of the pandemic, I made an effort to get dressed up at least a few times a week even if it was to go buy groceries or get a coffee. There are a couple of pictures from before the pandemic started, but a lot will have been taken in my closet as simple mirror selfies. They were cute outfits nonetheless. Some days they were what was keeping me sane and as an appreciation to the power of fashion in my life, I want to share my favourites.
A lot of these outfits haven't been properly photographed and there are even more that haven't even been worn outside. Clearly, I shopped a lot. So just like most of you gorgeous babes, I can't wait to be able to wear all of my cute outfits outside, on holiday or just for coffee dates or partying with my girlfriends. For now I'll wait patiently for that to happen, while being grateful for my health and those around me. Stay safe everyone, we'll get through this.
Have a pink-tastic day!

2020 hasn't been the year we hoped for and quite frankly it was pretty bad, especially mentally for a lot of people, including myself. Nonetheless, I tried to find the best in certain situations and keep it positive. Did I succeed all the time? Of course not. I had some really bad lows, but whenever they would pass I would try to regroup and be grateful for all the amazing things in my life. Please know your feelings are valid and 2020 has been really hard, allow yourself to feel whatever you need to, just come out stronger.
The pandemic isn't over yet, but here's to hoping things will get better soon. Keep being strong and try your best to focus on whatever positive you can find. The smallest things can change your whole mood, like a delicious cup of coffee or a seeing a dog on your walk or indulging in comfort food or a meme from your bestie. Remember to also reach out to your friends, especially if you haven't heard from them in a while. They might be going through a depressive episode due to the current situation. Be there for them and support each other, even if it's just virtually.
Here's my 2020 in pictures with captions, hope you enjoy it.
Have a pink-tastic day!
Kisses
