With a desk piled high with papers, a few extra pounds under your studded belt and a head full of resolutions that you're committed to keeping, it's no wonder you might be feeling a little overwhelmed. Only a few days into 2011 and the little wheel in my head cannot stop turning with everything I hope to achieve this year. I want to make friends and family a priority over work, eat better, exercise more, and truly try to enjoy what I have now instead of always wishing for the next thing. I know that I won't be able to do it all and chances are, I'll fall back into some (okay, a lot) of the old habits that define me but I'm feeling decidedly optimistic about the year ahead. Fashion, for me, is a blissful means of escape from the real world; cheaper than a plane ticket to St. Barth's, and less destructive than a bottle of Mount Gay Rum or torrid love affair. Plus, I see nothing wrong with wanting to swim around in a pool full of pretty, if only for a little while. Spring fashion campaigns have sprung so I implore you to abandon your list of to-do's and join me, won't you? Shizzo! Just broke my last resolution. Happy to be back and hope you all had a lovely holiday. As always, Real Life Runway is a two-way catwalk so if there's anything you want me to cover this year, don't hesitate to let me know!
