Happy New Year!

I really hope everybody had a fantastic New Year's Eve! I know I had. I love thinking that the start of the of the new year is a whole new start. A way to put the bad and sad things behind me, and look forward with joy, happiness and positivity.
Mine New Year Resolutions are:
1. take more baths with flowers

2. dance and yell when I'm happy 3. feel the wind in my hair more often 4. get more sleep during the week

5. travel to Paris, Scotland and maybe NYC

6. call friends far away

7. do like amelie

8. get a hat like this The dearest Hrose tagged me some days ago... (I know I have some older tags to do, but, yes, I will come back to them later...)

The rules are as follows:
1. Go to the 4th folder in your computer where you store yourpictures.
2. Pick the 4th picture in that folder.
3. Explain the picture.
4. Tag 4 people to do the same!

I simply love Clémence Poésy. Her style is wonderfully inspirational. In this photo I like the colourful and childish way to make an outfit. The hat, red stripes and the vest remind me of "Find Willy" - a book I loved to read when I was younger. However, this isn't how Clémence uses to show herself. She often uses a lot of dark colours and layers. I love that style too. In some kind of way she manages to make an outift with little colours fresh and - yes, colourful. Or at least, it seems like it...

I now tag: Lauren, Mariah, Jayne, Rosie, Mirthe

Then, it's just up to me to say:

I hope you all will have the most magical, enhanting and wonderful year!

I think we should all try to be more like Amelie, it would make the world such a wonderful place.

I love the look of Oslo, it looks lovely :) I have a wall in my room dedicated to places I want to go to (it's sort of a way of reminding me to work hard always, so I can get a job that pays well enough for me to go to all those places), Oslo is up there, along with Helsinki, Seattle, Vienna, New York and several other places.

I love Montmartre, the Sacre-Coeur is absolutely beautiful. I could stay on those grassy green slopes forever.

Have a fantastic new year! xo (:

Hello there sweetie pie,

So glad to hear that you liked my comment, and thank you so much for all the wonderful compliments and your awesome comment. Such a sweetie and darling the comment it was.

Yes, three movies are a lot, but when you plan it right, it can be done, though I was/am so very tired as a result of staying up so late those days.

So deeply sorry am I to not have commented on your recent posts, I have been so busy and today is the only time I will be able to comment. I hope you do not mind it too much.

Yes, the new year is definitely a way to start over, to leave the bad and start with the good. No more tears, it is a clear plate of emotions and adventures, which will be filled next year at this time, no? Well, not really this time but on December. I am a little late with the whole new years thing because of my absent state.

Bath with flowers? How wonderful!! Such a little princess you are, to think of this and do such things. That is positively the most wonderful idea I will try thanks to you. Rose petals or anything special?

Dancing while one is happy is the best feeling in the world, along with yelling and giggling. It gives you a satisfaction of showing your happiness.

Oh I am definitely in need of the sleeping one, and the wind through hair is much easy for me, seeing as how I go on the swings so often. You should try it more often, even if you do it alone, which is an amazing feeling none the less.

Oh how I wish I could do these trips to such wonderful places this year, but I know I will not. But wow, you will and you must take many pictures and be glamorous even though you are already.

Ehehe, those pictures of the cute little baby girl on the phone and amelie are wonderful.

And yes, I plan on following your footsteps on the phone call one, which I will actually do as soon as I get off the computer, since my friend broke her leg.

Oh, I tried out one of those hats in a store and well not to toot my own horn but darn it I wanted it because it was awesome. I do not know what you look like but I am sure you would still rock that look, and it would look wonderful on you.

Her picture is indeed wonderful, and look! She has the hat you want… inspiration taken from her, maybe?

I will try and rent the movie Mrs. Potter, and see if your compliments to it to have some truth in it.

You must wish so hard, and I will do so too, that your trip does not get cancelled. You must experience Paris, because it is wonderful and so lovely. I went there last summer but I wish to go again. How much fun it will be for you.

Remember to take as many pictures of anything and everything that you can because if not you will regret it.

Well darling, have a lovely week yourself.
