Back to Basics // Goodbye 2013, Hello 2014

The new year is always a good time to start with a clean slate as they say. Though, speaking in terms of practicality, I feel like self-reflection and mindfulness can be practiced regularly so the thought of holidays are just another day to me…but hey, who doesn’t love a good reason to celebrate? I know I do too sometimes! Some bloggers or youtubers like to give off this impression of “perfection”, but I like to keep it real. 2013 has been a mixed bag. Some definite highs in my life met with some unexpected curve balls. I’ve had to re-evaluate some things and people in my life and I’m glad to say that I am heading into 2014 with a refreshed outlook. This past holiday has been a great time for me to just relax, catch up with family friends, and start getting productive on some of my long-term goals.

Some Fashion Inspiration : ) It’s been really chilly here in NYC & my favorite go-to accessory has been a beanie! Anyone else a fan of Exo-M? When I was choosing photos, I had to include one of Exo in this blog post. If you’re also a fan of Exo, comment below and let me know what’s your favorite song from them.

Carouselstreet.com revamped! I finally got around to changing the layout of carouselstreet.com. I still have some minor design adjustments to tweak but the general look of it is here. I feel like it is a better reflection of who I am. CS was created in 2011 and as the years go by, I think we all change naturally so the site should also reflect growth and maturity. I really wanted to go for a much more simple and refined look. Hopefully you will like it as well! : )

Happy New Year to everyone! Also, I would like to quickly mention, thank you for keeping up with my blog and being patient with my updates which have been a bit slower than usual. I appreciate you all! : )
