I’ve never been one to make New Year’s Resolutions because I don’t believe in making promises that you have no intention of keeping. But, here we are three days into the New Year and I already have five resolutions that I’d like to hold myself to in 2013. As you will see at the bottom of this post, I even have a new footer I’m trying out in an attempt to increase my social media following. I’ve come to realize that New Year’s Resolutions aren’t about changing yourself. They are about becoming a better version of who you already are. So by 2014, I’m planning on becoming Vicky+ complete with less inches on my waist, more money in the bank, and more traffic on my blog.
Here are my first ever New Year’s Resolutions:
1. Do More Photo Shoots: Now that I have an amazing new camera, I’m ready to model my favorite looks on Aspiring Socialite with professional level photos. Once I get a tripod, I may even be able to take the photos myself.
2. Take Vitamins: I recently found out how important it is for vegetarians to take vitamins. Now that I’ve been taking a B12 vitamin everyday that I was previously lacking in my vegetarian diet, I have so much more energy.
3. Be More Financially Responsible: To be perfectly honest, I tend to be rather reckless with the little money that I have. This year, I’m going to try to save where I can and maybe even take on some freelance writing gigs for extra cash.
4. Hit the Gym: I know this is the biggest cliché and I may just be becoming one of the millions of people who crowd gyms across America every January and are never seen again come March, but I really do need to start working out again, especially if I’m going to star in all those fashion photo shoots this year. Plus, now that I’ve discovered vitamin B12, I have so much more energy to take on the treadmill for some much needed cardio.
5. Eat Better: Here we have yet another New Year’s Resolution cliché. But, when you want to lose a few pounds, changing your diet is kind of a must. I’d also like to start going to bed earlier, but with so many great television shows beginning at 1 a.m, I can’t promise that. For the record, I don’t plan on cutting back on champagne because in a perfect world, every morning would be Christmas morning and every night New Year’s Eve.

Happy New Year Everyone!! I’m so excited to see what 2013 has in store. This year, I braved the crowds and craziness by ringing in 2013 in Times Square armed with my new Sony NEX-F3K/S 16.1MP Interchangeable Lens Camera that my Dad gave me for Christmas. Expect more fab fashion photo shoots on Aspiring Socialite in 2013 thanks to my amazing new camera which I love because it’s a great mixture between an everyday point and shoot and a super fancy professional photographer’s camera. I must say that I couldn’t have chosen a better place to take my first pictures on my new camera than celebrating the New Year in Times Square that come midnight on New Year’s Eve is even more the center of the universe. The crowds are crazy, but having so many people around actually makes the air warmer. Looking forward to continuing my socialite journey in NYC in 2013. 13 may not traditionally be a lucky number, but I feel tons of prosperity coming on.
Happy New Year! Love the confetti!
More confetti!
Have an amazing 2013!
The Mayans were wrong. So it’s time to start thinking about how you can make a statement on New Year’s Eve. This year, I will be braving the crowds and craziness by celebrating the New Year in Times Square. Since millions will be watching and Ryan Seacrest will be there, I plan on putting my best foot forward for 2013 by stepping out on the 31st in the hottest outfit and accessories all while leaving a surplus of money in my pocket for prosperity in the New Year. To do this, I’ll be shopping for the perfect party dress, shoes, and clutch at T.J.Maxx and Marshalls for up to 60% less than department stores. This way, I can look fabulous in the center of the universe on New Year’s Eve wearing my favorite trends and designer pieces (for less). See you when the ball drops socialites!
Follow these tips when shopping for the perfect outfit to welcome 2013:
· Get glam! Accessories can make an outfit. T.J.Maxx has amazing, designer jewelry for unbelievable prices. Look for bold statement earrings and necklaces to spice up your look.
· Make sure you’re dressed to impress! Maximize your glow by throwing on a fabulous dress (or skirt) that sparkles and shines.
· Step out into the New Year with a pair of killer heels – infuse some personality and look for metallic, snakeskin, and embellished pumps to put some pep in your step.
· Don’t forget to stay warm! Throw on a chic leather jacket and luxurious scarf in a rich color to keep you looking party-ready even in the cold.
