Outfit & Things.

Well, here it is, the last outfit post of 2011. Woke up this morning to 50 degree weather which was definitely unexpected for the last day of the year. It's getting harder and harder to convince Soner to move up to Canada!! Ok, I'm kidding, a little. This happens every time I comeback from visiting the family. Especially with those two cute huggable little people I get to visit. Nothing beats big hugs from little squishy arms.

I have numerous things to fill you in on, so here it is:

1. Thank you all so much for your comments on our wedding day. In a sea of big weddings, it was nice to keep it small, intimate and most importantly low-cost. I appreciate all the comments and well wishes, and cannot say it enough that I truly appreciate my readers. *For those wondering what happened with my ID situation. I left my purse at my parent's hotel which was about 5 minutes away. My dad had to hop in a cab and saved the day!

2. I've mentioned it on twitter but as of Monday I am no longer a corporate slave to the Fashion World! Kensie, which was owned by Liz Claiborne was sold to another company a few months ago. (Un)fortunately this new company is eliminating my job as a retail merchandiser. This is kind of a blessing in disguise for me as after 6 years in the industry I think it was time for me to move on but doing so without a push is a scary thing. This way, the decision was made and well, I'm looking forward to this New Year for new beginnings.

3. One of my goals for this year month is to open up a online shop. I've thought about opening an etsy for clothing but since some of my clothes aren't vintage, I'm going to go with something like big cartel or goodsie. Watch for that coming soon!

4. Hopefully this new schedule will be more conducive for me to knit up some things for the etsy shop. I know it's looking a little scarce right now but I already have a few things to list and photograph!

5. I've fallen off the low-carb/sugar eating plan over the Holidays but am going to jump right back on starting on Monday. It'll also be nice to set my alarm forward a couple of hours for the gym in the mornings. No more 5:30 AM wake up!

So all in all, things are pretty good over here. Married life is treating us very well and we're so excited for this new year together. Today since I've planned a delicious menu for us for dinner, am going to spend it mostly in the kitchen, crossing my fingers that everything turns out right. We're having a quiet night in to ring in the New Year, and possibly meet up with some friends in the neighborhood. I've been having the hardest time staying up past 10pm these days, so a nap might even be in order. Talk about living it up.

Have a happy New Year everyone!!
