Style On The Side 2014 In Review

2014 has been a whirlwind of a year for Style On The Side. We went from having semi-consistent posts to consistently writing 5 times a week. The blog, which started off as a fashion and beauty blog, has now grown into a full lifestyle blog as I’ve come to embrace my fitness background once again. Hey, being in the fitness industry for over 15 years should count for something, right? Now you’ll find tips on fashion and style, beauty, fitness and wellness. The goal is for this to be a place where you know you will always have a friend. Someone who can help you navigate the crazy world of fashion, beauty and fitness, all in style.

All of this and more was reflected in my Instagram and Pinterest accounts with images depicting my travels, fashion inspirations and all the java any coffee lover would want! What I love most about Instagram is the fact that I can take a quick snapshot which encapsulates an emotion or thought and it’s in my repertoire forever.

This year I published my first mini ebook called Your Colour Guide, which is your free gift (until December 31st 2014) when you join Style On The Side. As much as I love black and as much as it’s a huge part of my wardrobe, there’s something magical about adding a splash of colour to your wardrobe. It can brighten your skin tone and make you stand out in a crowd. I’m also excited to be working on a new downloadable which will be available shortly. After all, I truly believe that fashion is about Effortless Style and Beauty.

I’ve also resolved to become more adventurous with my makeup this year. Why should that fabulous emerald eye shadow be relegated for special occasions only? As long as I don’t make it overly dramatic, it’s absolutely appropriate for day. The way I see it, if you love a colour than wear it. I’ve decided that no more makeup should expire before I’ve emptied the packaging.

Most of all, I’ve loved connecting with everyone. For those of you who aren’t yet Instagram or Pinterest friends, I invite you to find me and I’ll be thrilled to discover all the things that you love to post about. So here’s to an amazing New Year!
