Style Files // Running with Errands

Happy New Year! 

I hope that you were able to ring in 2015
in a 
delightful way, wherever you were. I must say that I was definitely looking
forward to this new year. There’s so much that I have planned already to do this
year, both personally and professionally. I have just completed my new vision
board, which has been very inspiring—it’s something that I typically do anyway. Creating motivational collages and visual 
art boards always get me inspired.

Instead of a scroll of traditional resolutions or impractical
promises to myself I just make a set of monthly, and annual goals. This works best for me. But, I’ve also learnt many years ago to be open to change, because sometimes life throws you a curve ball and it works out even better than you had initially envisioned. Last year, I was able
to cross off eighty-five percent of my goals, but there’s a few sizable goals that I still want to accomplish
this year, and that’s okay!


Before the festive season started, I had a massive list of errands to do aside from the traditional tasks for the holidays. I also decided to work my travelling outfit into this look. So, here‘s what I wore for my errand run, as well as heading to the train station to meet up with family before all of the festivities commenced.

I am taking this weekend and the next week to leisurely get back in the swing of things before tending to the workspace. Of course, finding time for a much needed spa day in-between getting sorted will have to follow for good measure.

What’s one thing that you want to do (more or less of) this year? Cook, get organised, save money, recycle more, travel, etc.?


The Goods: Tweed blazer-Vintage, Leather boots-Franco Sarto, Hand-knitted beret-Gifted, Patent leather clutch-Vintage, Denim-Express,  Leopard jumper-Seen here c/o Oasap, Tank-H&M, Leather half gloves-c/o Choies.

    Thank you. I loved these boots for a long time, but haven't worn them in a while. It's good to be focussed for the new year, you certainly don't have to make the traditional resolutions a new year … I don't! Happy New Year!

    I like pretty much everything in your outfit! The beret is perfect, and the colour of those boots is to die for. Also the cropped gloves and vintage jacket are perfect combination with the skinny jeans.
    I stopped doing new years resolutions long time ago, but this year I would really love to finally travel on steam train, wearing either vintage outfit or steampunk-themed outfit. I have been dreaming of it for years now, and I think this might be the year when it happens. I am also dreaming of traveling to England.

    I like how you do goals. It's sort of the way I do it. Sometimes I just say that today I'll start doing this, or I'll stop doing that without putting any timelines on anything. I find that to work best for me. Love the vintage tweed blazer.

    You look fab, sister. Great blazer and boots. Good to hear you were able to cross out some goals. 🙂 With the help of God, I want to put my fears aside and learn how to drive, lose a bit of weight and go on a holiday with my son. I pray things get better and better as the day progresses. 🙂
    Alles Liebe meine Schwester! xoxo

    Happy New Year Madison!! You look adorable. Love the blazer and the super cute beanie. I think it's a great idea to set a monthly goal. I have never thought of that and it might me the right thing for me too. I never stick to new NYR but this year it's going to be different. Ich hoffe du hattest ein tolles Neujahrsfest. Gesünder essen, yoga und meinen Kleiderschrank ausmisten und nicht so viel unnötiges Zeugs kaufen sind meine Vorsätze für dieses Jahr. Hab einen wunderschönen Montag! 😀
