Happy New Year!
I hope that you were able to ring in 2015 in a delightful way, wherever you were. I must say that I was definitely looking forward to this new year. There’s so much that I have planned already to do this year, both personally and professionally. I have just completed my new vision board, which has been very inspiring—it’s something that I typically do anyway. Creating motivational collages and visual art boards always get me inspired.

Instead of a scroll of traditional resolutions or impractical
promises to myself I just make a set of monthly, and annual goals. This works best for me. But, I've also learnt many years ago to be open to change, because sometimes life throws you a curve ball and it works out even better than you had initially envisioned. Last year, I was able
to cross off eighty-five percent of my goals, but there's a few sizable goals that I still want to accomplish
this year, and that's okay!




Before the festive season started, I had a massive list of errands to do aside from the traditional tasks for the holidays. I also decided to work my travelling outfit into this look. So, here‘s what I wore for my errand run, as well as heading to the train station to meet up with family before all of the festivities commenced.
I am taking this weekend and the next week to leisurely get back in the swing of things before tending to the workspace. Of course, finding time for a much needed spa day in-between getting sorted will have to follow for good measure.

Classic and chic styling! Love the blazer/high boots combo and the beret is the perfect top-off. As for NYE goals, still working on mine! But expecting the list will probably get super long. HNY!
ReplyDeleteVery nice outfit. I did a few plans for this year but a lot less than previous years. I lose a bit of hope every year. xoxo

Your errand look is my dress-up look:D
ReplyDeleteAnd 85% is amazing, Madison! All the best for 2015! My main goals are mostly crafting-related...not too exciting:)
so well put together from head to toe!!! love the boots and gloves the most!! :D

ReplyDeletehappy new year! :)
ReplyDeleteLove your printed top! Congrats on achieving so many of your gaols last year too, hope you achieve even more this year! :)
I tend not to set too many resolutions, as when I do I forget them all pretty quickly haha.

Happy New Year doll, you look wonderful. I hope this new year is bliss for you Xxx
ReplyDeleteDear Madison, You look so gorgeous, loved your boots, gloves and the printed top! Congrats on achieving so many of your gaols last year too, hope you achieve even more this year! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year to you Madison! May it bring you all the happiness and love in the world! Looking very stylish and lovely with this outfit, perfect for both errands and traveling, is cosy and yet chic. Have a great week ahead, hugs! xo
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Madison!! You look adorable. Love the blazer and the super cute beanie. I think it's a great idea to set a monthly goal. I have never thought of that and it might me the right thing for me too. I never stick to new NYR but this year it's going to be different. Ich hoffe du hattest ein tolles Neujahrsfest. Gesünder essen, yoga und meinen Kleiderschrank ausmisten und nicht so viel unnötiges Zeugs kaufen sind meine Vorsätze für dieses Jahr. Hab einen wunderschönen Montag! :D

Happy New Year, Madison! Those boots are positively brilliant!

I avoid making plans and NYE resolutions. The only thing I wish for is to become a more organized person. But good for you! 85% of the goals for the last year is not bad at all! Happy New Year, Madison! Lots of health and happiness!

Achieving 85% of your goals last year is really great! One thing I want to do this year is spend less. Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year! I hope 2015 will be fabulous for you. For me I definitely want to travel more in 2015 and blog more :)

You look fab, sister. Great blazer and boots. Good to hear you were able to cross out some goals. :-) With the help of God, I want to put my fears aside and learn how to drive, lose a bit of weight and go on a holiday with my son. I pray things get better and better as the day progresses. :)

I like how you do goals. It's sort of the way I do it. Sometimes I just say that today I'll start doing this, or I'll stop doing that without putting any timelines on anything. I find that to work best for me. Love the vintage tweed blazer.
ReplyDeleteLeopard is always a good idea!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your way of doing resolutions. Setting monthly goals is a much better way of getting things achieved.
ReplyDeleteAlso - really love that top. Looks fab!
Happy New Year to you too, lovely!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that resolutions are of no use, but setting goals and making plans is much more beneficial :)

I did the same thing Madison. I come up with goals to accomplish. LOL Not many, but enough. I outlined them in my Blog Birthday post. LOVE leopard and black! Gorgeous jacket! More relaxation time for me.

Liebe Madison, ich bin beeindruckt, wie viele Deiner Ziele Du erreicht hast! Du bist wirklich sehr tüchtig und darüber hinaus hast Du auch noch einen guten Geschmack, wie Dein schönes Outfit hier wieder bestätigt <3 Ich habe keine Vorsätze für das Neue Jahr gefasst aber ich bin ebenfalls beeindruckt davon, dass Du Dir einen genauen zeitlichen Plan dafür gemacht hast. Daran kann ich mir wirklich ein Beispiel nehmen :) Ich wünsche Dir nur das Beste für das Neue Jahr und viel Erfolg!

Nice outfit ;) It looks a little wild ;) Have a nice day ! :* www.sandina.pl
ReplyDeleteI like pretty much everything in your outfit! The beret is perfect, and the colour of those boots is to die for. Also the cropped gloves and vintage jacket are perfect combination with the skinny jeans.
ReplyDeleteI stopped doing new years resolutions long time ago, but this year I would really love to finally travel on steam train, wearing either vintage outfit or steampunk-themed outfit. I have been dreaming of it for years now, and I think this might be the year when it happens. I am also dreaming of traveling to England.

ReplyDeleteThank you. I loved these boots for a long time, but haven't worn them in a while. It's good to be focussed for the new year, you certainly don't have to make the traditional resolutions a new year ... I don't! Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure you will accomplish that, looking forward to your photos and more posts this year. Thanks for your comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debbie! Yes, last year was a trying year, but at least accomplishing many of my goals was worth it. xx
