OOPS. IT’S THE LAST DAY OF THE YEAR…

Let me start off by saying that it seemed to be June like two seconds ago!? The year has flown by so fast… At the end of the year I always have this weird feeling that is a mixture of fear and excitement. Am I happy about last year? What is the new year gonna bring me? I’m gonna figure out the first question in this post, the latter is a still a surprise for me as well…

For me, 2015 started rough, or I’d rather say stiff. In the first weeks of January I could not get myself to do the things I needed to do. I stayed in bed a lot! Why? I guess I had a blue monday depression that held on for almost a month. But it wasn’t that bad, because I also worked from my bed and did the necessary like eating and sleeping. Haha, I guess it’s good to know that after winter always comes spring.

After February I got more productive as I was busy to integrate my new blog layout and blog by new and better standards. Also, I went to Denmark quite a few times for my collaboration with Vero Moda. Then, as I can tell from my Facebook “year in review” May was kind of a crazy fun month in which I had a first date in Lisbon with the man whom I am now in a relationship with (you can read the full story here). Then, in June I started making plans for a new trip. And while busy with Amsterdam fashion week, I booked my flight to Colombia and Cuba.

This trip to Colombia and Cuba took place in August and wow, I had the time of my life. I have seen so many wonderful things and met some lovely people. It was also a great lesson for me and I really have found that traveling makes me grow as a person. However, I was happy to be back in September, because then I got busy with one of the most fun projects in my blogging career: I was starring in the TV program “Elke dag een look” together with Fashionchick, on Net 5 (national tv). I really had a blast.

Oh, but before all that I went to the international fashion weeks: London, Paris, Milan. It was the first time for me to go to these fashion weeks. So it was very exciting and I have done some great collabs while there. Not long after all these fun things I reached 50K on instagram, but also came to the conclusion that instagram has a new algorithm which kinda f*cks up my work, but… During this year I started realizing more and more how lucky I am to have made a job out of my hobby. Of course, everything comes with a price, cause I must admit that it really takes it’s toll on me to never really go on a break (maybe something to think of for my new year’s resolution). But I am a lucky girl to be where I am today.

Like I said, I am very scared of the new year. I can’t really tell why… I only know that I am happy right now and I wish for myself to keep it that way and maybe, hopefully to grow my succes even more. My words for 2015: grace & grateful. How would you describe your last year?

Happy NYE you guys.
In the new year I will be back with some new blog categories and tell you all about my new year’s resolutions!
