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.

The low cut style of the black leather gloves is so attractive and I adore how you've styled leopard print so elegantly! 🙂

To be honest I have never had any resolutions :/ …but I always want to be more organized 🙂

Happy New Year Marj! Looking forward to reading more posts from you dear. I am like you, I have other personal goals that are … simply personal. There's nothing wrong with that. Good luck to you with everything. x
Exactly! Thanks Cheryl Happy New Year!
Going for a more minimalistic approach sounds like a great thing to achieve. I am all for saving and collecting less, since I am always on the move. Happy New Year to you as well, Tania.
Thanks so much Janelle. Happy New Year! x /Madison
Thank you! 🙂
Hi Rakhshanda, thanks for your lovely comment dear.
Thanks Debbie! Yes, last year was a trying year, but at least accomplishing many of my goals was worth it. xx
I'm sure you will accomplish that, looking forward to your photos and more posts this year. Thanks for your comment.
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!
Thanks so much. Happy 2015! 🙂
Thanks Happy New Year to you too dear. Sie haben große Vorsätze für dieses Jahr. hehe. Ich wünsche Dir eine schöne Woche!

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.

Liebe Madison, ich bin beeindruckt, wie viele Deiner Ziele Du erreicht hast! Du bist wirklich sehr tüchtig und darüber hinaus hast Du auch noch einen guten Geschmack, wie Dein schönes Outfit hier wieder bestätigt <3 Ich habe keine Vorsätze für das Neue Jahr gefasst aber ich bin ebenfalls beeindruckt davon, dass Du Dir einen genauen zeitlichen Plan dafür gemacht hast. Daran kann ich mir wirklich ein Beispiel nehmen 🙂 Ich wünsche Dir nur das Beste für das Neue Jahr und viel Erfolg!

You look wonderful…it's a little bit vintage and little bit English countryside. A big like.

I did the same thing Madison. I come up with goals to accomplish. LOL Not many, but enough. I outlined them in my Blog Birthday post. LOVE leopard and black! Gorgeous jacket! More relaxation time for me.

Happy New Year to you too, lovely!
I agree with you that resolutions are of no use, but setting goals and making plans is much more beneficial 🙂
Lu | http://www.balgarka.co.uk
I agree with your way of doing resolutions. Setting monthly goals is a much better way of getting things achieved.
Also – really love that top. Looks fab!
Leopard is always a good idea!
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

I avoid making plans and NYE resolutions. The only thing I wish for is to become a more organized person. But good for you! 85% of the goals for the last year is not bad at all! Happy New Year, Madison! Lots of health and happiness!

Happy New Year, Madison! Those boots are positively brilliant!

I'm so impressed that you were able to accomplish 85% of your goals last year – that's way more progress than I've ever been able to make!

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! 😀

Dear Madison, You look so gorgeous, loved your boots, gloves and the printed top! Congrats on achieving so many of your gaols last year too, hope you achieve even more this year! 🙂
Happy New Year doll, you look wonderful. I hope this new year is bliss for you Xxx
happy new year! 🙂
Love your printed top! Congrats on achieving so many of your gaols last year too, hope you achieve even more this year! 🙂
I tend not to set too many resolutions, as when I do I forget them all pretty quickly haha.

Your errand look is my dress-up look:D
And 85% is amazing, Madison! All the best for 2015! My main goals are mostly crafting-related…not too exciting:)
Very nice outfit. I did a few plans for this year but a lot less than previous years. I lose a bit of hope every year. xoxo

Classic and chic styling! Love the blazer/high boots combo and the beret is the perfect top-off. As for NYE goals, still working on mine! But expecting the list will probably get super long. HNY!
