Best Outfits of 2010

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

I can't believe 2010 is over already. I know we all say such things at the end of every year but 2010 has definitely felt like the fastest year of my life. It has also been the most difficult and worst year of my life. I won't go into details because it has already been well documented on my blog. Some very important things have changed in my life in 2010 and unfortunately I don't think they can ever go back to the way they were. On a more positive note a few good things did happen to me in 2010:
-Rydog and I became engaged
-I completed a Bachelor of Commerce degree
-My beautiful kitten Juliette came into my life

I have mixed feelings towards new years resolutions because I don't think its possible to change as soon as the new year comes around in an overnight transformation. I think that change is more of a gradual process and if the change needs to be made then it doesn't necessarily have to coincide with the new year. I often think my goals for a year are too ambitious because I only achieved two of the eleven goals that I set for myself a year ago. However, I will list some of my goals for 2011 even if some of them are not entirely realistic:
-spend less money on clothes and shoes
-save for the future especially for a wedding and a house
-pass my fourth year at university
-become more confident
-learn how to manage my anxieties and solve all my issues which stem from this
-strengthen existing relationships
-learn how to apply eyeshadow
-learn how to curl my hair without a hot iron
-widen personal boundaries and possibly take more risks
-continue blogging and pursue my interest in fashion
-become more independent
-achieve happiness, peace and a more positive outlook on life
-straighten my hair less

At the conclusion of 2010 I thought it would be appropriate to review some of the outfits that I wore during the year. Here are some of my favourites that I posted at some point in 2010.















Best wishes for 2011.

Christmas

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

I had an enjoyable Christmas day. Rydog and I spent the daytime with my parents and the evening and night time with his family. They were two very different Christmas meals since there were just five people for lunch and about twenty five at dinner time. I received so many beautiful and generous gifts from both parts of my family which I will post later. It appears as though my family all liked the gifts I bought them which makes me happy. Ever since Christmas I have been relaxing, watching movies and attended a family function yesterday. I saw the King's Speech the other day. It was much better than I expected it to be. Has anyone seen it and what did you think? I can't believe how fast this Christmas has gone. I know we all say that every year but this time has felt especially fast and it really is unbelievable. At least I have New Years Eve to look forward to. Rydog and I are going away for the long weekend and I am very much looking forward to it.





















How did you spend Christmas day? What are your plans for New Years Eve?

Outfit

Today I finally had the chance to take some outfit pictures. I really want to increase the amount of outfit posts because I have bought so many new clothes recently. This is one of the new dresses that I found on my trip to Melbourne and I have been wearing it so much recently. My new shoes are one of the most practical purchases I have made in a long time because they go well with all of my outfits especially light coloured summer dresses and situations where my dress is very bright.















Here I am with Juliette. Her eyes are so bright because of the flash but she still looks very cute. I love her. Merry Christmas for tomorrow everyone.

Christmas presents- Alannah

I received my first two Christmas presents last Saturday. They are a beautiful Alannah Hill bag and stunning Alannah Hill dress from Rydog's parents. Anyone that knows me well would be aware that I adore this label and it is my favourite so these are the most perfect gifts I could receive. I feel so happy about having these generous gifts.











I can't wait to wear them to my work Christmas party tomorrow night.

I recently received my university results for the semester and I am so incredibly pleased. I have exceeded any expectations I had of myself. I received a credit and two distinctions. The distinctions were for extremely hard subjects that I wasn't even sure that I would pass. One of my results is withheld because of the university strike but I have enough credit points for my commerce degree regardless. Even though I have said before that I have completed my commerce degree, it is now official.
