New Year, New Beginnings & 7 Resolutions for 2013…
I’m not big on resolutions really. Mostly because I’m the kind of person who doesn’t like to wait or set dates or to plan really at all. In other, and far less flattering words, I’m very impatient. My husband is the patient planner and I’m the DO IT NOWer, which admittedly leads to certain conflicts, …

My New Year’s Eve manicure is directly inspired by my NYE outfit, which is generally in this color palette, and of course, abstract rather than precise. It actually kind of reminds me of a bathing suit I had in the 80’s, which I loved, obviously 😉 I was originally leaning towards black with blue only …
