Happy New Year

Hello everyone! Happy New Year!!! Hope you all had an amazing New Year's Eve. It's been a while since my last blogpost, but taking a short break helped me realize many important things. One of which is that fashion blogging is my passion. I also made some new year's resolutions, of course. The biggest goal for this years is to work on my blog and have more subscribers. I have a specific number in mind but I will tell you when the website reaches the number. Then, I have smaller goals like not to leave dirty dishes in the sink. I always used to keep the kitchen clean, but for the past two years I somehow adapted this bad habit. It all started with leaving my morning coffee cup in the sink. And that's where it took off.

 

Speaking of coffee cups, I think I can claim that I am caffeine free now. Yay! Well, not entirely though. I drink green tea which has a little caffeine. I meant to say that I quit coffee, my biggest weakness. But, maaan, I gotta tell you that was tough. I literally experienced serious withdrawal symptoms. For those of you, coffee addicts, my suggestion is to do it slowly by reducing the amount little by little. The way I did wasn't the best way, and it all because I wanted to quit and be free before 2014. So the first four mournings I had to go back to bed because my heartbeat was escalating and I was having a headache. And throughout the day I felt kinda dizzy and all I could think was coffee. On the first day of quitting coffee I couldn't hold myself. I went to Starbucks and got  a short pike (my recent discovery that a "short" size is smaller than the small size cup), but then the next morning I promised myself that I will not drink.

 

I was determined, so I didn't drink any. Ever since I haven't had any coffee. Today is my 7th day.  I've been drinking coconut milk instead. Now I feel much better, the symptoms subsided. From now on, coffee will be my treat when I meat up with friends or on special occasions, but definitely not an everyday thing. It seems like a small achievement, but to me it's huuuge. If I was able to stop drinking coffee I feel like I can do anything. Oh, by the way, I also stopped consuming milk and all dairy products. Surprisingly, it was easy:)

 

Another, small resolution for this year is to become better at using makeup. Specifically, master the cat eye makeup look. I think "cat eyes" look good on anyone when done right. I already practiced a little today:) There are also many small resolutions I have on my list. Is there a bad habit that you would like to get rid of? or is there a new habit that you wish to adopt? We as human beings should always work on improving no matter where we stand. Have a wonderful year filled with love, joy and kindness. And I will do my best to provide with the best content and be here on www.styletoscha.blogpost.com and on www.thehappyhandsandfeet.com to remind you to stay on course. Best of luck and I'll see you soon!

Cropped Denim Jacket Look

Hi everyone! Today's post won't be long. Promise. It's 8:42 pm here in New York and I am feeling little tired. And while I am writing "I am feeling tired" I actually felt even more tired as if my body has been waiting for me to say it all day. Yes, I admit it, I do feel tired. But it's the good kind of exhaustion. It's the kind when you feel satisfied with yourself and with what you've done at the end of the day. Because, you did the best  you could for today. Hehe. See, how I convinced myself  to focus on what I've done today instead of focusing on the exhaustion itself? I am such a trickster!

I wish I could convince the cold weather to wait a little so I could wear light jackets and dresses little longer. Only a few days ago I could wear this cropped denim jacket with the striped dress. *Deep Sigh* And now it's too cold to wear this kind of outfit. See, how I'm starting to complain again? Ok, one good thing that the cold weather has brought was the craving for soup. And I had a really good Beef Barley soup today. Yum. I can still taste it in my mouth. Ok, few words on the outfit. Seriously, I was gonna right a short post with the outfit details only, and look at me now talking about Beef Barley soup. I just complained again, I guess.

Let me quickly wrap it up before I start writing about what I saw and how I felt in Central Park today. So, I really love  this cropped denim jacket for its versatility. This is only one of the gazillion ways you can wear the jacket with. You can wear it over long/short dresses, with skinny jeans, shorts, skirts, leggings I mean the list can go on and on. You know, how they say that every  girl must own a little black dress aka LBD. I think every girl must own a little cropped denim jacket because you will wear it a lot more often than your LBD. That's all I can say for now. Hope you enjoyed my "short" post. Have a great day or night! See you guys soon.

Strawberry denim jacket, Rampage striped dress, Elie Tahari wedges and a handmade cross-body bag from Kyrgyzstan. Oh, the bracelet is handmade too. I bought in New York.
