Blog Birthday!

PICT0003cadss





































Happy birthday to my baby blog! We're now one year old, yay!

It's been a most amazing year! I've met so many nice people and learnt an immense amount. These are two things that are very important to me in my "real" life, and now I found a hobby - or obsession *cough* -  that involves both. I'm so happy I posted my first pictures exactly a year ago and continued with it all!

The things I've learnt by simple trial and error about blog design, photography and graphics made me interested, annoyed, happy and overjoyed in turn, and I'm so glad I stuck at it and didn't give up.

Here are some pictures from some of the posts I liked in the year of my blog, you can click on them to take you to the posts, if you're interested! According to the stats, the post you liked the most was Bazaar Times and Handmade Products, about why we should buy handmade, and one I'm really proud of.

I have this blog and you all to thank for the inspiration for my Illustrated Shoots - I would never have worked so much on them without the desire to post them here! I tend to doodle on real photos too for my own pleasure, but sharing my pictures with you was the highlight of this past year.

I've grown so much in my style, and also working as a stylist for Zsófi Raffay in her amazing photo sessions. I'm sure that without your continual support and the inspiration your blogs give, I wouldn't be in the same place!

I'm also amazed that I've known some of you for so long! Just to name those blog friends who first commented on my blog last March: Pau, Ipek, Caroline, The Waves, LV... We've known each other for a year! Big hug, girls! :)

Big hugs to all of you, my blog friends, who I've gotten to know in the past year. You've enriched my life and I'm so glad to keep on reading you and exchanging words with you! Big hugs to everyone who reads my blog but doesn't comment - thank you too! Here's to another year, and more! I'm looking forward to where this year will lead my blog and me, and us! :)

Good Things

There were so many good things that happened in 2011!

I was inspired by so many things, saw wonderful sights, read many great things, both abroad and in Hungary and on great blogs run by great girls! After all, it's all because of you that I started my own blog this year and it's been such a great experience! I met some lovely people online and I hope the coming year will bring some real-life blogger meetings too!

I had the luck to work together with an amazing photographer, Zsófi Raffay, and styled some really lovely ladies. The first time I had the chance to work as a stylist and I really hope 2012 will bring even more opportunities. I can't wait!

So many thrift shopping tours made me really happy (for instance when I got this dress, my favourite find of the year! :).

I draw and doodled and loved it all!

The times we spent together with my Boyfriend were wonderful... I don't want to be cheesy but really, I'm so happy we've found each other with Marco more than 7 years ago!

I think the days I spent in Croatia with him will always be a fond memory of mine... We were lucky to get a room where we saw the sea from our bed and woke with the rising sun. The loveliest time of the year.

I was also lucky enough to swim in the Atlantic this year and enjoy the many delights of Devon... The moment the ice cold waves rush over you and you're immersed in endorphins and laugh and jump and just want to hug the sea, it's unforgettable!

I got so much support from my Mum, my Boyfriend and my great friends, I'm so insanely lucky to have them! Oh, and our cat. She makes me happy every time I see her, which is no mean feat!

I also got actively involved in politics this year and going on demonstrations against the Hungarian goverment's crazy rulings made such a difference to my outlook on the world. Social consciousness plays an ever-increasing part in my life and I'm really glad about living my life with more to think about.

This year I've also made some decisions concerning career steps which I'm really glad I did, and I hope 2012 I will see my plans even more clear.

Last but not least, I have so many plans for this blog for 2012! I can't wait! :)

What was the best in 2011 for you? I'd love to hear!
Have a great New Year's Eve (I can't wait to dance the night away!) and all you wish for in the New Year!

and a handmade necklace that incorporates stone and glass... A Christmas gift.
The artist keeps it a secret how he molds the two. How amazing is it, really?
