Goodbye to 2014 and Hello to 2015!

I don't know what it is about the new year, but I feel like it truly is an ending to one chapter of your life and a beginning of the next. The 365 pages of 2014 have closed up and whether the pages were spilled with love or heartache, the book of 2014 are now just memories put on a shelf to be relived later on.

I took a break from blogging, simply because I felt like I was losing the route in which I started this. This is true. I started this blog 3 years ago and back then, I feel completely different than I do now. Things that were important or at the forefront of my life are now just pieces that have fallen in its place. I started this blog for my love of fashion (which will also be my first love) but as the responsibilities come with the age, I feel like my priorities have changed. I use to enjoy buying clothes (still do!) but i've watched my money be spent instead on traveling and learning to educated myself in things I never realized was so important. Things only being hands on can teach you. I want to inspire, that will never change, but I want to inspire more than one group of people. So for my new years resolution, I am going to continue to learn and invest in myself, experience things that I never dreamed possible, step outside my comfort and continue to grow. Fashion will always be apart of me, I just think its time to branch out a bit more.

With that being said, I think Austrailia or Mexico will be next on my list of places to visit. Happy New Years dolls, may it bring you happiness, love and success in all aspects of life! Cheers to memories being made.

Veronika's first birthday! A touch of DIY

I've got to admit, I never saw myself as someone who was known as artistic but lately, arts and crafts has been my happy place! Anything with a hot glue gun and an idea and I am ready to go.

Today's arts and craft? Decorating for a one year old's first birthday! The theme was simple - orange, light pink and hot pink with polka dots. So within 24 hours, my sister and I put together as much as we could and I've got to say, the birthday girl was one happy little ball of sunshine.

My favorite thing to make had to be her name board. While I was stumbling around Michael's looking for chalk to write all this out, I found out the existence of chalkboard pens! Wow did that make a difference. The lines are so much smoother and there's no powdery residue laying around so it doesn't smear unless you scrub at it. Which was nice, considering the birthday girl loved putting it in her mouth. :) Happy birthday sweet Veronika!!

I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Please feel free to contact me at mtran08@live.com if you have questions or would like for me to create something for you.

Can it always be fall?

A typical day in Washington, sun is out but it is 40 degrees out! Honestly, I don't mind. I love the crisp air, and better yet the spectrum of colors you see walking down the street or to the park. Fall is such a pretty season, can it be that all the time?

Outfit Details|| Black tank: forever 21 here || Harlem Pants : HM last season similar  || Boots: forever 21 similar || Leather Jacket: forever 21 similar||

It's better than in Minnesota, where it is 37 degrees last time I checked! At least my boot collection will get to come out and play. Happy Saturday dolls! :)
