Newness

A new year means a lot of things. New challenges, experiences, desicions, and changes both big and small. For me the new year meant finally getting round to re-designing my blog. It's something I've been planning for quite a while but I waa firstly not sure what exactly I wanted and secondly was a bit lost as to where to start and how to do things. So I've taken it one step at a time, and tried and failed until I finally ended up with what you see now. It's taken some time, and you might have noticed constant changes on layout, header and so on for the past few weeks - apologies for the mess but it had to be done that way. What I decided to do was clean it all up and make it a very simple layout. I know it's not everyone's taste but I really like it. I wanted it to be easy to navigate without to many buttons, links and stuff going on around the actual posts as I find that to be a bit distracting sometimes. All my links are still at the top so it is easy to follow me on all my social media, the blog archive is all the way at the bottom - below the 4 posts on the page, along with my google friend connect and a few other banners. So more or less everything is still here, just not where it used to be. I really hope you like it and that you will share your thoughts on it with me in the comments. If there's something you think I should definitely change then let me know about that as well :)

As for my coming plans for the SITC (I only just now realised my blog has the same 'initials' as Sex and the City) I have a few little things planned, including a Uni Room Tour if that is something you would all be interested in? Could also include a few tips ++ for what to bring/get and how to make use of the little space you usually get in halls. Would that be interesting? 

I just wanted to give you that little update for now. A new proper post will be up in not long - finish my exams on Wednesday so I'll have plenty of time to work on some good content!

And my new short hair is a New Year thing too.


Love, Emilie

2013, 2014 & Evertything Else

My 2013 http://flipagram.com/f/hoiZfAFoiW Most of the pictures are from my Instagram

Apparently I'm getting old. At least that's what people tell me when I say how quickly this year's gone by. It's true though, it is as if it's flown by at the speed of light. A new year always mean that we all get a bit of a clean slate, and that we can make the coming year an even better one. 

2013 was such a good year, but it was filled to the brim with new, crazy, exciting, all-consuming experiences which made me decide to put all my focus into making the best out of all of it. I lived in the now and tried not to think of everything else for a little bit. It was so nice to be a bit carefree but now it's time to get back in business on all levels, including my blog. I do apologise for the extreme lack of posting on my front, I've had a much needed break but now I'm ready to share all things beauty (and hopefully fashion) with you.

So far on my 2014 agenda is: an internship, some travelling, uni (and glorious exams), skiing, concerts and a few other work opportunities that are yet to be confirmed. In other words it looks like it can be quite the year. As for my resolution this year is to be the best version of me that I can be - in every way, work hard and do the most with the opportunities that I have and get, and just have a good time. I will also be more active in the blogging community again, not only on my blog but be better at interacting and communicating with other fellow bloggers. I would love to hear what you have set as resolutions for the coming year!

I hope this wasn't too rambly and boring, I just wanted to have a little catch up and say a big HAPPY NEW YEAR to you all :) New post will be up very soon so stay tuned for that.

Love, Emilie
