Changes I want to make for 2018

New year is a funny one isn't it? We make fun and laugh at the whole 'new year new me' saying however I think most of us still look at new year at the time to set goals and at least keeping them by the end of January is a goal in itself.

I'm not calling mine resolutions because I genuinely think that when they are called this I don't still to them, because I see them more as a fad. These are the changes I want to be making throughout 2018.

1. Film a second a dayThis is something I've been wanting to do for a few months, but who wants to start a year task on June 22nd! It will hopefully encourage me to take my camera more places, get out more so I have something to show and it will be super cool to look back in 2019 when I've completed it.

2. Get HealthyI literally say this every year 😶 however this year I definitely mean it (lol). I basically am a massive foodie and my life revolves around food. I try to bring it into every situation - we are going bowling, well lets go the pub opposite first for some dinner. We are going shopping? Well do you want to start at Costa so we can make a plan of where we will go.

I'm obviously not going to stop eating out, but I just need to make some healthy changes and swaps in my life. Get healthy is also very vague, but heres some things I want to change with it:
- Going veggie/vegan one day a week by swapping meat for something else or eating a purely veggie/vegan meal.
- Stop drinking diet coke literally all the time. (I don't really drink tea or coffee except one in the morning so I use that as my excuse but that needs to stop)
- Cut down on eating out. This relates more to my lunches as I rarely bring my own lunch except for when I cook pasta because I somehow turn into Jesus feeding the thousands. I'm getting a slow cooker for Christmas so this will definitely help as we can bulk prepare meals and freeze it and then take it into work the next day.
- Blog my journey as well. This will definitely encourage me both to be more healthy and be better at blogging. I'm hoping to just include recipes, progress or what I've done differently.

3. Become more ethical about my living situationI feel like this is everywhere at the minute since Blue Planet II literally broke all of our hearts. We are already pretty good at recycling but we definitely need to get better, I'm going to get my own water bottle which will again encourage me to stop drinking fizzy drinks and start taking tote bags with me. I'll again be blogging about this because it is important to me, I cried twice this month over the polar bear video and just thinking about it hurts me.

4. Be more consistent/better at bloggingAgain I guess this is a pretty vague one but thats because I don't really know where to go with my blog, so I definitely want to focus more on it this year and make some really good changes. I definitely need to get better at self promotion but I also need to take more photos because thats always my downfall, like oh I don't have a photo for this so I just won't post it. I really enjoy blogging as an outlet and love reading other blogs, so I'm going to just try really hard and make a good routine to balance it with work and life.

And thats it! I think they are pretty easy to attain seeing as they are quite vague, but I'm hoping as I'm including it with my blog and seeing differences that it will encourage me to keep going and hopefully achieve more in 2018.

What are your goals for 2018?

3 looks for NYE | FASHION

New Years Eve is the ultimate excuse for treating yourself to a brand new look to celebrate the night in style. While window shopping online for some inspiration, here's 3 looks below from 3 different online shops.

Feather Dress - £40

This dress is so cute and perfect for new years eve, it's fun yet not too daring as it's all black. I love the feather detail and its different to any other dress I own.

Leopard Print Coat - £65

I think I must be getting old because I'm looking at coats for going on a night out! You never know how cold it will be outside so this coat would be perfect from walking between bars but still looking good. The leopard print is perfect against the black as it will really stand out.

Vinyl ankle boots - £40

I think these boots are a great final touch to the outfit. They have a good heel on them which means you won't be hurting too much and can still make it to midnight, plus the texture on them will stand out against the texture on the dress. They look like a great statement piece not just for new year.

Red cutout jumpsuit - £179

If your plan is somewhere a little more posh where you need to dress up then this jumpsuit is for you. The cut outs are still fun and add a great touch to the jumpsuit, however the length and colour is sophisticated especially with red being a huge trend colour.

Public desire heels - £24

Because of the bold colour of the jumpsuit I'd want to keep the other details quite neutral, and these heels are perfect for this. I would definitely need some height if I were wearing a jumpsuit, however again I love a thicker heel so I still feel like I can actually walk in heels.

Beige Clutch - £12

This bag looks the perfect size to fit everything you need in, and the rose gold clasp matches the rose gold in the shoes. I only really have black clutch bags and the price of this is perfect!

Star body - £25

This is definitely the most fun outfit and I think it would work for most occasions, like a house party or a pub where you can be pretty casual and a bit more daring. I love this body and the star glitter detailing, I'd definitely wear something underneath however depending on where the stars fall I think you could get away with some nipple covers!

Kick flare trousers - £25

Kick flare trousers don't really suit me, however I absolutely love these and they aren't as out there as some other trousers I've seen recently. They are still fun and I love the zip detailing, and the body would look great tucked in.

Red ankle boots - £82

I absolutely adore these shoes and have been eyeing them up every time on the website, however I'm not really sure they'd work in my wardrobe. I think it would really finish off this outfit with the bright colour and unique heel shape.
