The New Years Resolutions List

Yes, here it is. I'm sorry. I'm going to do the oh so cliche "New Years Resolutions" post. Forgive me. I was gonna do to a whole post for New Years, but felt I should do it on the actual day =P Sorry! But you'll never know; you could find some of this interesting...

So, here it goes!

2010 New Years Resolutions

STOP BEING SO DAMN LAZY - I am very lazy. Ask my mom, or my brother, or even my father. It's not that I don't do what needs to be done, but I do tend to slack off for the bare minimum. It's horrible, I know, but it's true. This year I have to make sure I keep up with school and do my work (even if I don't want to), be more active (no more days of doing absolutely nothing!), and really work toward my goals. Oddly, I feel as if this might be a good year for me, so hopefully I can pull through.

FIND A JOB - Now, don't think I haven't been searching (I have, and it's a real b*tch), I just never get hired. I don't know why. I just don't. I've tried at lots of places, and each onehave never give me a call back. But I'm not going to give up! I am going to get a job, and at a place I'll like, too! I just have to keep looking. Wish me luck!

BE MORE SERIOUS ABOUT CERTAIN THINGS - This kind of goes with the "STOP BEING SO DAMN LAZY" one in that I want to be more serious about certain things I want to do. I want to have further lessons in piano and become a better player, do my very best in my vocal training class and become a much better singer, really play with my love for fashion and figure out where that love is going. I also really want to become more serious about my writing. Writing and storytelling has always been a passion of mine, and in the end, will always be my one true love. I aim to be more serious in writing my stories, continuing them, and looking for ways to improve and maybe even publish them. It's kind of a lofty goal, but we'll see. It is one of my biggest dreams to get something published, so why not start working at the goal now?

DEVELOP MY STYLE MORE - I am a huge fan of fashion and playing with it, so I really want to fine tune my style and figure out what works for me best and what I like the best. I also want to do more research on brands and see which ones I like the most and am willing to spend my money on. Some of that stuff ain't cheap, and if I'm going to spend $300.00 on a pair of boots, I better know where it came from, what it's made out of, and if it feels right.

MAKE MORE FRIENDS! - This is pretty self explanitory. I want to make more friends! Blogging friends, school friends - everything! It's always nice to have lots of friends. =] Of course, when I say friends, I mean true friends. Not snarky bitches that talk crap behind your back and bring you down. Nice, down to earth people who generally care about me and the same stuff I do. If anyone wants to be a friend, than don't be afraid to comment! =]

FIND TRUE LOVE - ;]

Well, that's it! If I think of anymore (I don't think there is, but we'll see!) then I'll post it. For now, that's it.

I wish you luck with with your New Years Resolutions and I hope you can think of some good ones!

XOXO, Dani

Oh Marc, I love you.

MARC JACOBS SPRING/SUMMER 2010 COLLECTION

No words can describe how much I love the Marc Jacob's 2010 Spring/Summer Collection. I especially love his use of volume and ruffles, as that is something I'm experimenting with in my wardrobe. If I could own any of these pieces, it would definitely be the blazer at 2:09 and the last dress. I love myself a great blazer, but really? This is perfect. The strong, dark blue color with the ruffled shoulders is absolutely wonderful. It's not too edgy, and not too girly, the perfect balance I think every girl loves. And the last dress? Talk about ethereal and romantic! I would never have a place to wear such a dress, but I think it's OK to still want it, right? Haha.

Marc has always been my favorite designer ever since I was younger and I obsessed over his handbags. I still have yet to own a one, but I know my time will come soon. Haha. Until then, I'll do what I've always done: draw inspiration from his collections and continue to obsess ;]

XOXO, Dani
