Big 2011 overview



This year has been about traveling, big personal and career moments and creating great memories. Let me take you though some highlights!


2011 is the year I traveled to London three times, to the River Island head quarters, to John Lewis and My Wardrobe. I visited LFW, and saw the Burberry Creepers fresh off the runway at the Burberry Horseferry house. Paris was big in 2011 as well, with three visits. On a LancĂ´me trip I met Mario Testino and I had an amazing Paris Fashion Week. Saw a bunch of shows including the Viktor & Rolf show. There were more short trips, like Florence with LuisaviaromaSweden with Nelly and Antwerp a few times. During summer, me and my boyfriend packed our stuff for 5 weeks of Thailand and Vietnam. Sure wish I was on one of those sunny beaches right now!

2011 had some big personal changes in the works. I'm now making a living by blogging and no longer work for my dad's communication company. Then in february I started interning at ELLE and got offered an editor job (yay!). My first designer bag - the Balenciaga - followed to celebrate. And after what seemed like forever (I'm a terrible driver) I got my license. By the end of 2011, the book I published with my father got nominated for the Marketing Literature Prize and I won the ELLE Fashion Twitter Award. On top of things my twin brother moved out of our apartment last week and I now have our place to myself. (Creating a blog office as we speak!) 

Looking back, it seems impossible to have squeezed all of this into one year. I worked my butt off and made my dreams come true. Thanks for all your support during everything! What was your highlight of the year?

it's true... Every year we summarise all these moments... The best for me is that I have worked for Mango and my pregnancy of course!

In 2012, well... now! when my baby wants... she will born, and this will be the best of 2012!

Your 2011 sounds amazing! I hope I will reach even a little bit of your success in 2012.
In 2011 I didn't have a big highlight, but I hope the next year will be MY year with my A-Levels, hopefully a great university to study and a cute appartment.

I wish you the best for 2012. I'm looking forward to read much more of your blog :)
