It requires that I tell you 7 things about myself but since I've already revealed my ability to stand on my head for a really long time in a past post, I thought I'd switch up the rules a bit.
In the spirit of the new year I thought I'd share with you 7 things that I did in 2010 that I had never ever done before. Ever. Some of them are fashion related, some involve caged animals and some of them are so small it's shocking that I hadn't done them before this year. Here is a sneak peek into the year that was 2010.
1. Miss-Melissa.com turned into a Style Blog
Yah, true story. Before May my blog was just a mess of personal ramblings. Now it's a mess of personal ramblings with pictures of outfits. So much better right?
2. I remixed the same 30 items of clothing for 30 days. All while not shopping.
Thanks to a challenge from Kendi, my cousin and I (as well as like a zillion other bloggers) set off to do the impossible. Turns out it's not impossible just kind of a pain but I definitely learned a lot from those 30 days! But the hardest part was taking a picture every day. I don't know how some of you bloggers do that!
3. I wore red lipstick
How did I not do this sooner you ask? Who knows. Let's just focus on the fact that it happened and I love it shall we?
4. I styled a store front window display
Barefoot Contessa doesn't know it yet, but I've appointed myself their official window display stylist. Such a fun day!
5. I became friends with a Monkey
Cute little George was making kissing faces at me. We were in love.
6. I attended a Fashion Show
On top of seeing some gorgeous pieces of clothing, I also met some of my favourite local bloggers that night.
7. I attended an Olympic Event.
I didn't get to see Canada curl but I was still cheering for them. Which confused a lot of people around me.
So there you have it! 7 moments from 2010 that were firsts but definitely not lasts. Well except for maybe the Olympic event... that probably won't happen ever again. Or the making friends with a monkey. Or the no shopping... there is a better chance I will compete in the Olympics on a team of monkeys then there is that I will go on another shopping ban. Hey, I'm just being honest.
Haha!! I'm with you on the shopping ban, so not happening again!!
ReplyDeleteLove the list. I might just "borrow" this for my blog post today :)
Happy New Year!!
I love the way you recapped your year. So much better than the basic here's the best of what I wore this year. - Katy
ReplyDeleteI've noticed every time you wear red lipstick -- it looks so great on you!
ReplyDeleteI've always wanted to try that 30 x 30. Perhaps in 2011...
Congrats on the award and great recap of your year! Your blog is always a joy to read. :)
ReplyDeleteP.S. I only just discovered red lipstick this year too.
This was a cute post, I became enthralled with curling during the Olympics, i had never seen it before. I'm jealous you got to watch it in action!!
ReplyDeleteWhat made you decide to make the switch to a fashion blog?
Have a great NYE, can't wait to see what outfit you put together.

The picture with the monkey is priceless!! Happy almost New YEar!!!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you had a great year with lots of accomplishments! I'm glad I found your blog this year through the 30 for 30 :)
ReplyDeleteyou can totally pull off the red lips, that's something i want to try...soon.
ReplyDeleteand yay for going to your first fashion show! same with me. i've gotten to meet so many amazing boston bloggers!
The red lipstick is gorgeous on you! I also love your clutch in the first pic
ReplyDeleteOhMyGawwwwd, I have been DYING to try red on my lips, but just haven't gotten the courage. I'm a blondie/blue eyed chicky too ... if you can rock it, I think I can! I may be a stay-at-home mommy, but I'd totally wear that grocery shopping cuz that's how I roll.
ReplyDeleteWhat are the specifics????? Puhlease! :)
