Happy New Year!
Jumper - Next
Collar Necklace - Topshop (more on this tomorrow!)
Sorry I look pretty serious on that photo, it was the best of a bad bunch, I am not photogenic today! I gave up trying to take photos. On all the ones I look happy on I look like a big nerd, so for the lulz...
Such was my woe at trying to take a cheery photo that Matt tried to help me and we ended up losing our minds. He hates this photo, he thinks he looks like he's on day release, so sorry Matt!
New Years Eve and New Years day are really just a night and day like any other, aren't they, but there is something about that shift between the 31st of December and the 1st of January that makes us all get dressed up, consume copious amounts of alcohol and then spring clean, join a gym and make some goals for the next 364 days that follow. Personally I like the reflection and fresh start that New Year brings, but I can take or leave the night and the pressure to have fun in a certain way that it brings. I love a good night out but I always feel spontaneous ones are fun, everyone that's been old enough to go out a few years running has a lame New Years story to tell!
I had a lovely low-key night last night, I had curry and drinks with Matt and we chilled out and watched Eastbound and Down and Flight of the Conchords and then I read drunken youtube comments from Lily. Perfect. Sometimes the best nights are the low-key ones. 2011 was a good year for me, filled with ups and downs like any other, but I came out of it very happy. I had a lot of changes this year that I'm sure you all know about, but I'm so excited for a clean slate and all the things that 2012 has in store for me.
I posted a soppy facebook status here, but I'll echo it again today and say that I massively appreciate anyone that takes the time to read or watch my stuff. It means a lot more to me than you probably realise, and I mean that! I've had some fantastic opportunities in 2011 that wouldn't have happened without the support and encouragement you guys give me, so genuinely, thankyou! Feeling the love. My plan for 2012 involves a massive facelift of this website, to learn how to properly use my Canon 600D and Final Cut, and to master lighting for videos to bring you guys better content. I also have something exciting that I'm ploughing a lot of time and money into in 2012, I'm excited to share it with you once its ready (hopefully within the next couple of months) and I can't wait!
Also....drumroll please...I'm sure some of you will gasp in shock and disbelief at this but...
In 2012 there will be a post on here EVERY SINGLE DAY. I am vowing to stick to this, with scheduled posts and organisation, I can do it - please don't let me get away with not posting every day! If you haven't seen my latest video and want to be nosy and see what I got for Christmas you can do so here:
Here's to 2012!

I agree with the whole take it or leave it thing on New Years. The opportunity for a fresh start is good fun, but it doesnt mean you have to go out!
Can't wait to see a post here every day.

I also think you look better with middle parting but since you have a high forehead (like me) i think a medium-long middle parted fringe will be the best thing for us! i know it looks a bit like a hippy or american indian thing, but i find it quite cute, especially if the hair is not too tight, i mean if it's a bit rounded ..uhm i think i'm not very good at explaining this, sorry ahah! The fact is, when you have such amazing eyes (and i'm still speaking about the two of us) you can't cover them with a heavy fringe or side bangs. But at the same time there's the forehead problem, so it's not so easy to choose! Anyway, if you'd like to see some pics on my blog and maybe tell me how i look better (or just take some inspirations) i'd be very happy :)
Sorry for the endless comment, have a good year and a good day!
