New Year Blog Resolutions

So here are my blog resolutions:

1. To blog at least 15 times every month
2. To secure my first collaboration with a brand I love
3. To guest blog every month
4. To continually post on Instagram
5. To complete two outfit posts every month

In essence I really want to push my blog in 2014 and see what I can achieve, plus I am a sucker for targets and I am highly competitive especially against myself!

Let me know your blog resolutions, and if you want me to do a guest post drop me an email at paper.thin.blog@gmail.com

See you all in 2014!

NYE = LBD

Once again it is the post-Christmas sales and I am always keen to try and buy investment pieces during this time, and nothing screams investment piece like the little black dress. It is perfect for every occasion and I don't think I know a girl who doesn't own one.

With NYE round the corner, and every girl wondering what to wear, why not go classic and invest in one of my five picks below. I have covered a pick for every girl, classic lace from Oasis, quirky organza from Topshop, hipster volume from Acne, understated cool from Stella and micro metallic from Whistles. Now all you have to do is pick the one that is for you!

Festive Red.

I am in love with this Whistles dress, which I came across whilst doing some last minute online shopping before Christmas Day, and had to share with it you all.

I have styled it with an oversized leather jacket from Topshop Boutique and these amazing Gucci masculine brogues!

Christmas Eve

I love being all snuggled up on Christmas Eve, wrapping presents, drinking mulled wine and being all cozy ready for Christmas Day. I love this DVF cardigan and the Zoe Karssen pants, they are perfect for lounging around in. Add to that chunky slipper socks from Topshop (these are on my Christmas list) and there we have my perfect Christmas Eve outfit.

Also a family tradition is receiving Charbonnel et Walker truffles, they are so yummy! So had to add those!

How do you spend your Christmas Eve?
