bonjour, 2011

I was sitting in my room going through the year and thinking about everything that happened to me, and I can honestly say 2010 was nothing short of incredible.


2010 was a year of growth, challenges, learning, moving in, and moving out.
Packing up and unpacking, failures and triumphs, letting go, and holding on.
Living on a ship, meeting new people, saying goodbye to others.
Starting new, expanding, trying, crying my eyes out - then laughing my head off.


This year will be a year of strength, rebuilding, new friendships, more smiles, less worrying, giving my all in everything I do, and wearing lots of red lipstick.

Bring it on, 2011.


Happy New Years love bugs!! x

*SECRET : This 'dress' is actually a 1950's night gown sewn into a dress! 2011 will also be a year of re-creations*

    i want to try wearing red lipstick this year! i'm usually more of a nude shade or chapstick type girl, but i've been so drawn to red lip colour lately. i'm having such trouble finding a shade that doesn't look terrible with my red hair, though! hhmm... i'm determined. ;)

    Happy new year! I'm so in love with that dress and your diary is so cute,
    I'm searching for one at the moment, is that the frankie one? if so, sad face as it's so elusive here in england. Anyway, heres to a great 2011!

    Sounds like 2010 was a beautiful year. It was so great being able to see your life from afar via your blog. It's so wonderful how we can watch people grow through their blogs without actually knowing them in real life, but it definitely has been quite the journey. Your blog has been such an inspiration and I have enjoyed every moment of it. Happy New Year. May 2011 be an even more exciting and wonderful year for you!
