At the moment, my mind is on other things. Someone who’s become very dear and important to me in a very short time is in hospital with severe pneumonia, very ill and very scared. I may not be there in person, but my mind and my heart are. Hence why my thoughts really aren’t here at the moment.
I stress, I worry, I hope things will get better. I wait.
In a typical manner, I feel I should indulge myself and make my January a guilt-ridden misery (just like everyone else) by doing resolutions for 2011.
I am not going to bore you with the usual ‘be nicer to people-lose weight-save money-live healthier-sleep more-don’t get involved with idiots’-resolutions I could do, but have decided to concentrate more on the superficial side of things, such as fashion and beauty.
In 2011, I will solemnly swear I will..
Edit my wardrobe: that means getting rid of dodgy underwear, ill-fitting shirts, jeans, stuff I have bought that really isn’t me (hello, that pale yellow trench coat)
Find ‘the One’: the one being the handbag of my dreams. One of my resolutions was to get out there and get a proper handbag. I was thinking that a Vuitton Speedy would be the right one for me, but thinking more, I really need a shoulder strap and a bag with pockets and some more structure. A Balenciaga City or Part-time would be ideal, but since I can’t just magic up over a grand of money at the moment, my eyes will be turned to the high street.
Find that elusive retro-esque hairstyle: I cannot deny it any longer. Much as I love fashion, I love style more, and unfortunately my style ideals go to the 1920s to 1940s, hair-wise. Victory rolls I doubt I’d ever bust out, but I am rather optimistic that I could totally bust out some other hairdos that look vintage. Just like below…
Happy New Year to those reading this post. As opposed to spending the night in some glamorous location and/or drunk as a skunk, I have opted to spend the change of the year at home, typing away on my essay on schizophrenia and violence, and reading other people’s blogposts.
Today is naturally a start of new things, what with a new year signifying a need to change things. And I suppose that is something that is current for me with this blog again. I have been awful at posting things, and my resolution is that this will have to change. I have also been posting a lot of beauty stuff, as opposed to things about style and fashion, so will re-route the blog onto those levels yet again. I don’t have those badges at the side of the blog for nothing, you know!
The general layout of the blog may also change a bit, if I get motivated to tweak it just that little bit.
So expect things.. better things.
But for now, I shall bid you adieu, and return to my essay and my coffee.
