Hi everyone, just wanted to let you know that I am no longer lucyellas! From now on my blog url will be goodbyegone. I just wanted something that wasn't necessarily a name/my own name so I went with this as it's one of my favourite songs and it's nice, short and catchy!
Let me know what you think and I hope you don't miss lucyellas too much. :)
When asked to describe my style, to be completely honest with you I couldn't. I literally don't have one because I love everything. One day I'll be in a floral dress and dainty shoes and the next I'll be in leather trousers and a flannel. However, I do have a few style inspirations and I've decided to do a 'Stylespiration' series on my YouTube channel and cross it over here - meaning that a lookbook will be up on my channel and I'm gonna talk about it on here. Make sense? :)
Jade has been one of my style icons since the X Factor days. The way she has a few different styles incorporated into one just mirrors mine completely. Through her I've come to learn that I should be taking risks with my fashion and because my style is so branched out, I should mix them together which is something I was afraid to do before. My favourite outfit in this video has to be the flannel and the leather skirt. What I love most about this outfit is that it's so multipurpose, I could wear the flannel tucked in or cropped, like I made it in the video and also, I can dress it up with heels or dress it down with converse and I'm good to go.
Who are your style inspirations? Do you like Jade's style? What's your fave outfit from the video?
So many people live life for other people, to make them happy rather than themselves. I've been a victim of this myself. In the past, there were times when I put other people's happiness before my own, and yes, although that's a nice legacy to leave behind, it's not healthy when you're hurting yourself in the process.
I think the most important thing to realise is that it's okay to be selfish sometimes. You don't need to live your life based on the way other people are living theirs, or how they expect you to live yours. Do the things that make you happy and don't let anyone tell you they're wrong. If sitting in bed watching movies makes you smile, do it. If you like to paint, splash a canvas. Go for a run, blast your music, start a blog... Do whatever you want to do but do it for you. There's no point in doing something if you don't enjoy it when you could be doing so many other things that are going to benefit you and make you smile.
I'm going on quite a rambly-rant here so I'll leave you with this:
' Don't let other people or what you do for them define your happiness, let it be what you do for you. '

Let me know what your favourites were for 2013 and I hope you all have an amazing 2014, love you :) xo
How is 2014 only a couple of hours away? That's crazy. It feels like yesterday that 2012 was ending and I was ringing in the new year lying on my sofa, oh so badass, I know. I kind of don't want 2013 to end, it was such a great year for me. I feel like 2013 was the year that I was genuinely happy, I really took my happiness into consideration and weeded out all the bad aspects of my life and even though it sounds cliché, it really worked. I look back on this time last year and I can see that a lot of things have changed.
The one thing that hasn't changed, however, is the fact that I didn't keep my New Year's resolutions. None of them. So I'm writing here, right now, I'm gonna keep them this year. To help me keep them, I'm gonna write them here and come back to this post next year and let you guys know which ones I kept and which ones I didn't, so here we go:
Work hard in school
Eat healthier & drink more water
Exercise more & not be as lazy
Use the internet less but blog at least once a week
Take more pictures & make more memories
Okay, so there they are. I don't know how I'm gonna do them all but I'm certainly gonna try. Let me know what your resolutions are or do you not have any?
I wish you all a happy new year and I hope 2014 treats you well, see you then! Lauren, xo.
