Beautiful shoes to inspire your day…

I love how simple yet eye-catching this piece is. The antiqued gold finish gives it a classic yet trendy look. Pair it with other necklaces to make a layered, attention-getting focal point or wear it alone like me to keep it simple and classic. Later this week I’m meeting the brand – Simply You – to preview the entire collection – can’t wait!

Valesca necklace by Simply You, $140

Ok, so it has taken me a few weeks to gather my New Year’s Resolutions. Now that it’s January magazines, websites and friends are all talking about their Resolutions. Things they vow to change in their life to make it a better year -  eat healthier, exercise more, spend more time with family. While those are good things to change in your life, I wanted to choose things that I will actually follow through with beyond January. Here are my top 3 changes for 2012…

1. Be more organized at home. For work and projects, I am the most organized person, but it’s completely opposite when it comes to my home life. On New Year’s Eve I bought boxes and a shelving unit to keep my home office organized.

2. Do the dishes. This one was actually my other half’s resolution but I’m borrowing because it’s simple and smart: Don’t leave the house with dishes in the sink.

3. Relax. 2011 was a crazy project filled  year. I said ‘yes’ to every new opportunity that came aknockin’. This year, I’m going to carefully pick and choose the ones I really want to do and focus on them.

I know, it’s only the 11th but so far so good.

Here’s to 2012!

What are your resolutions?

Happy New Year!
All the best in 2012.
